I have downloaded the version 4.0 of VDJ and unwillingly I have seen that one effect can be activated at a time.
You have to put again the 3 effects for deck: it was this the true difference between VDJ and the other softwares

I'm not 100% sure of this, as I haven't had time to try it myself yet, but my understanding is that you can have effectively infinite effects running at the same time (PC performance permitting of course). It's just a case of programming shortcuts for each effect to your keyboard or other controller. Have a look at DJ-in-norway's tips & tricks topic, it's explained better there...

Actually, now you can have all effects active at once, but I can only do it by mouse: clicking on the effect & clicking on activate button. I can't seem to find the keyboard shortcut to independantly choose the effect without deactivating it.

Help from staff / VIPs would be appriciated.

After the first FX active when I try to activate the second the first goes off.

Example with A for FX number 4 & Q for FX number 8

<sc key="A" action="effect_select" chan="2" value="4" />
<sc key="A" action="effect_activate" chan="2" />
<sc key="Q" action="effect_select" chan="2" value="8" />
<sc key="Q" action="effect_activate" chan="2" />

Is there an error in the syntax?

I made some tests with many actions linked to the same key
=> the function effect_select desactivates the effect previously turned on with effect_activate.

UNLIMITED ;)


It seems it's working for you, so could you share your setting please? I'm having the same issue as cioce & clax with the effect_active & effect_select functions, which I explained in my first impression post.

Is it a bug?

Regards.

This is currently a heavily discussed topic in this forum and being addressed with the Dev Team. Hopefully the next release (4.1) will resolve this issue.

Just like to add that I found a bug when you cycle through effects with effect_select +1
when you reach the end of the list it crashes.
It should normally come back to the bottom of the list. (I think the same happens with video effects)

multiple "sound effects" at once

--- step 1 ---
first try to active them all with out playing any music.
[vdj] effects; sound effects; choose each one by one and click activate

depending on your cpu and ram, your system may or may not be able to handle them all.
don't play anything just yet. activating them all can exaust your cpu up the hizza

--- step 2 ---
deactivate them all
load a music piece
play
activate one at a time keeping an eye on the cpu monitor

hope this helped

multiple "video effects" and "video transitions"

sadly enough,

there is no way to have a sonique active while writing up some text.
too bad. maybe next version.

4.1 update: implemented effect_select_multi function, choose & (de)activate effects independantly via shortcuts & midi!

Thanks VDj team :)

The problem in this topic is thus solved, so can a moderator add [solved in 4.1] in the title (and this part of my post asking about it :P)?

Regards,
erXon

I usually find that I have to keep activating the effect every time I cue up a song. I mostly use Fader Start - but I have to keep activating it every time I cue a song up - I do it on both decks, in case I forget.

Disable the option in the registry of Windows to clear the effects on load

Example of de/activation of effects 1 & 4 on the selected deck:

<sc key="B" action="effect_select_multi" value="4" />
<sc key="B" action="effect_activate" />
<sc key="V" action="effect_select_multi" value="1" />
<sc key="V" action="effect_activate" />

(copy in "C:\\Program files\\VirtualDJ\\shortcuts.xml")
