Topic: How to use this VDJscript_verbs: eq_crossfader_low

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

This is exactly what I am trying to do..basically crossfade bass from Deck 1 (Playing) to Deck2 (Coming in).
I have already mapped action eq_crossfader_low to a key in my keyborad however presseing that key does nothing.
I am using MixLab V3.1 skin, WinXp, VDj 6.0.8 (b231).

Please suggest how I can achieve this.

I already have read this topic many a times but cannot quite follow:

All helps are appreciated.

Cheers

Ideally you would assign the command to a knob or fader on a midi device but if this isnt an option then you could try this.

Set up a keyboard shortcut for

"eq_crossfader_low 0%" this will be allowing ALL the bass from deck 1 and NONE from deck 2

"eq_crossfader_low 100%" this will be allowing NONE of the bass from deck 1 and ALL from deck 2

"eq_crossfader_low 50%" will allow both bass tracks to be heard

This would obviously require 3 keyboard shortcuts but it is the only way without a midi knob/fader.
 
Almost perfect. Thanks for explaining and give me the code to assign. I now have done this in my key board.

This is really good. However what I was wandering if it is possible to move the EQ crossfader slowly from one deck to another deck.

Thanks a lot again.

Cheers
 
I can't think of a way to do that on a keyboard. I'll have a play around and see if I can think of something.

As I said before this function is best used with a knob or fader, maybe you could consider a midi controller??

Anyway- if I figure in out I'll let you know.
 
You can map two keys to the following two actions:

eq_crossfader_low -10%

eq_crossfader_low +10%

Use smaller values for slower movement.
 
^^ what he said ^^

Just had the same thought when doing pitch bend button on my skin. Lol
 
thanks to both of you guys and giving me food for thought...

on an another note.. which MIDI controller do you guys think I should look for in your opinion.
 
It depends on your requirements and budget.

Hercules DJ Console RMX or the cheaper Hercules DJ Console MK4 are good options and popular choices.

They include everything you need, including built-in DJ sound card (For headphone pre-listening) and free VirtualDJ Console Edition which can be optionally upgraded to the full Pro at a discount.
 
thanks for all these quick advice. Really appreciate it. You guys had helped me a lot. Let me start scripting.
 
playing the script a little but.. this obviously works better:

eq_crossfader_low +1%
(will take the eq_crossfader_low from 0% to 100% as long as assigned button remained pressed, basically from left deck to right deck)

&

eq_crossfader_low -1%

(will take the eq_crossfader_low from 100% to 0% as long as assigned button remained pressed, basically from right deck to left deck)

I just hijacked my own thread.
