Topic: Can't turn off sync button light???

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

i have tried changing the xml file from "sync" to "off&sync" , "off & sync", off and sync" and none of them work to turn off the ANNOYING blinking sync button. what am i doing wrong? i got it to turn off before when i tested 6 and now that i finally updated i'm having a problem with it.

Don't do it in the XML file - you only see mapped functions, not all available functions. It's easier to just do it from the GUI - easy to see all controls and get VDJScript hints too. Not to mention less chance of messing up the XML.

Anyway, if you had used the mappers window, you would see that whilst SYNC is mapped; you can manually map the available control LED_SYNC in the right-hand drop-down box to a different function; for example off.

This means the Sync button will still perform the sync, and the LED will do nothing. Bear in mind that & chains commands, so by using off & sync you are giving the control two commands, in that order.
 
 
yes sorry to be clear i was talking about the sync button on the software itself blinking. sorry.
 
I am not at my gig mechine to verify, and this might be it, not sure. But,
Left click on the sync button will sync it with the oppisite deck
Right click on the sync button will sync and lock the sync button on. (Sync on the skin will stay on)
Like I said, not sure if that is what you are looking for.

thats great but i;m not asking that. i want to turn off the blinking sync button. i don't want or need it blinking to the beat. its actually kind of annoying having it blink.
 
Try mapping to nothing & sync
 
I know what he means, mine has gone but I don't know if I did something about it or whether I just updated to a later version and it went away, terrible idea that flashing sync!
 
i don't want the feature disabled just the blinking to beat.
 
could it be the skin? mine doesnt blink...
 
OK, here is my "small trick" how to disable sync button blinking in the skin.

Try find in the skin xml file something like:

<button action="sync" chan="1">
<size width="32" height="27"/>
<pos x="479" y="159"/>
<selected x="475" y="1123"/>
<down x="475" y="773"/>
<over x="482" y="881"/>
</button>


...and then delete bold line. That's all...
 
but will deleting that line cause anything else for that function to not work?
