The controller sends MIDI notes properly
<map value="DECK_1" action="deck 1 leftdeck" />
<map value="DECK_3" action="deck 3 leftdeck" />
<map value="DECK_2" action="deck 2 rightdeck" />
<map value="DECK_4" action="deck 4 rightdeck" />
The problem here derives from the fact that VirtualDJ two decks skin is... a TWO DECKS skin! :P
The user wants to use decks 3 & 4 instead of 1 & 2.
And while some time ago that was possible with default 2 decks skin it's not anymore.
In order to get this "working" there are only 2 possible solutions:
1) Edit the default 2 decks skin to show current left/right deck instead of fixed deck 1 and 2
2) Edit the mapper so that you remap the action of deck 3 to deck 1 and deck 4 to deck 2
In this case a simple action like "pioneer_play" becomes:
action_deck 1 ? deck 3 pioneer_play : action_deck 2 ? deck 3 pioneer_play : action_deck 3 ? deck 1 pioneer_play : deck 2 pioneer_play
There is also a third solution:
Use another skin that has left/right (or swap) logic.

Works fine already, dont have to change or do anything ... :) ..at least it should
With a 4 deck controller connected, VirtualDJ has 4 decks, even if using 2-deck layout

it's the deck X leftdeck from the controller command that is screwing it up rune.
I've tweaked the default skin so it only shows C&D for him to test

Hey locodog. Can you do one that only has deck A&B too? You’d want laptop one to stay on A&B and Laptop 2 to stay on C&D.

Just make a custom button or keyboard key with action : deck 3 leftdeck & deck 4 rightdeck ...
And if you want automatic, just add the same action to oninit entry in the keyboard mapper
Or alternatively, just need to add 2 lines at the skin xml
<onload action="deck 3 leftdeck"/>
<onload action="deck 4 rightdeck"/>

I'm not sure who's confused here, I know I am.
the ddj1k in question has 2 laptops connected to it, users want machine 1 to only control decks 1 & 2, machine 2 deck 3 & 4
because the 1k sends a invert_deck command when it does it's HW shift and the default skin 2 deck being left/right the dj in waiting will have 2 decks on screen that aren't his
maybe it doesn't need a skin tweak, maybe just a rsi,
no it'll need this removing also
<nbdecks value="2" condition="var_equal '@$4decks' 0"/>

Not needed for machine 1, the two deck skin forces the number of decks to 2 so you can only get A&B
check your msgs

Should be no need for that. The DDJ-1000 is a 4-deck controller that (at least in theory) should override any such skin settings. Explicitly setting 4 decks, and skin not "forcing" 2 decks

Went with the skin tweak, rsi forcing 'side'deck left a chance for things to go wrong,
made pro 1&2 and pro3&4, also did the same with performance
gmedia is testing but first reports are, 'all good'

So far it is EXACTLY what I needed. I can have all 4 decks active and visible at once with never any "muted" decks. Since the DDJ-1000 only has two jog wheels (which is perfect for me as a mobile), you just need to press the one "deck change" button to toggle between A/C or 1/3 and B/D or 2/4. Otherwise, you can just use your mouse or touch screen and keep the jog wheels locked to A/C or 1/2.
There are many reasons to have 4 active decks. The major reason I use two PC's is for when something goes wack with one of them (which happens to ANY electronic device, Apple and PC alike).
Thank you so much man!
