Topic: assigning decks

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

i have 2 cdj's and i'm using a 4 deck skin.

when ever i run virtual dj, it always starts with both decks assigned to #1.

ideally, i would like to make it so that press and hold shifts that single controller (cdj) to one deck higher leaving the other controller untouched.
then, a single click would change the deck control from 1 to 3 and back to 1 or from 2 to 4 and back to 2 leaving the other controller unchanged.

i have 2 cdj 2000 mk1 and i use djm 2000 mk1 as the 4 ch sound card.

please advise.

thanks

yes this can be done... I have had it working in the past but haven't done it in a while as I set up the clubs and walk away when done... it will be in the forum under toggle between sources and If I remember right I made a page select doing the same thing.. the skin I used was cds4 as the button toggled between the pfl and that how you selected the deck you want to play.... I also had help from Mr.Awesome ... djdad... thanks...
 

the CDJs already have the EJECT button assigned to cycle though the available decks of the software (depending on haw many the skin has)
Each time you press that button on any CDJ it will go to the next available deck.
If you wish to have that action mapped to a different key, copy the action from the EJECT button, delete the action from that one, and copy the action to the key you wish to use.
CDJs are single deck controllers, so there cant be sides


I will attempt to provide you a way how to make your 2 CDJs2000 to behave like sides (left-right), but the way the EJECT button works is the correct one, so not sure if the script below will work.

Map the EJECT button or any other button you wish as...
action_deck 1 ? deck 3 assign_controller "CDJ2000" 1 : action_deck 3 ? deck 1 assign_controller "CDJ2000" 1 : action_deck 2 ? deck 4 assign_controller "CDJ2000" 2 : action_deck 4 ? deck 2 assign_controller "CDJ2000" 2
But in order that to work, it needs CDJ #1 to be assigned as deck 1 and CDJ #2 to be assigned as deck 2. Goto CONFIG--<Mappers tab, select the CDJ2000 from the list, and choose the Mapper Options button on the right side. You will then see 2 CDJ200 and you need to assign the first one to deck 1 and the second one to deck 2. I am afraid you will have to do that, each time you start the software, but if the above script works for you, we could come up with an additional script to add to the ONIT.
