Topic: Encoder and sensitivity mapping assistance. Also shift.

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I'm in the process of switching from Traktor and am trying to map my Allen and heath k2 for Virtual DJ.

Mapping has so far turned out to be way harder on vdj though.

Specifically i struggle with:
Setting sensitivity on endless encoders.
- I want to precisely nudge the placement in song positions. If this can be done in scratch mode that's also fine. I haven't been able to figure it out yet.
- I also want to precisely dial in bpm down to 0.1 with encoders.

If anyone knows a script for making shift work that would also be much appreciated.

My shift has the script "set '$shift' while_pressed"
My current script for setting up and using cue points is:
"deck 1 down ? isrepeat ? nothing : play ? hot_cue 1 : set 'cuecheck' 1 & hot_cue 1 : var 'cuecheck' ? goto_cue 1 & pause & constant 'cuecheck' 0"

This works fine. But I would like to make it so it did the same with cue point 5 whenever I hold in shift. No matter where I tried to put "var '$shift' while_pressed" I couldn't get it to work do anything.

I hope these questions aren't too newby, but could not find answers to them anywhere (except for old, former versions of the software) so maybe this can help the many others who I suspect will be switching in the next few months and years.

param_bigger 0 ? pitch +0.1 bpm : pitch -0.1 bpm


deck 1 down ? var '$shift' ? isrepeat ? nothing : play ? hot_cue 5 : set 'cuecheck' 1 & hot_cue 5 : var 'cuecheck' ? goto_cue 5 & pause & constant 'cuecheck' 0 : isrepeat ? nothing : play ? hot_cue 1 : set 'cuecheck' 1 & hot_cue 1 : var 'cuecheck' ? goto_cue 1 & pause & constant 'cuecheck' 0

Thanks Locodog!

Your first script worked like a charm!

Your allowed me to set cuepoint 1 and 5 but no longer plays form the cuepoint when you hold the button. It's strange because I can't see what in the script could be causing it.

Regardless; thanks a lot for you help!

that should do it I didn't actually read your script first time

deck 1 down ? var '$shift' ? isrepeat ? nothing : play ? hot_cue 5 : set 'cuecheck' 1 & hot_cue 5 : var 'cuecheck' ? goto_cue 5 & pause & constant 'cuecheck' 0 : nothing : isrepeat ? nothing : play ? hot_cue 1 : set 'cuecheck' 1 & hot_cue 1 : var 'cuecheck' ? goto_cue 1 & pause & constant 'cuecheck' 0 : nothing

Thanks! I managed to figure it out myself.
