Topic: Setting the loop in point as hotcue while playing the loop

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hi all,

I am trying to modify my buttons from the HC4500 by using some vdj scripts in a way that my controller
works as a traditional CDJ(Cd) player.

Does anyone know how i can set my beginning of the loop (that is playing) as a hotcue. Thus not setting a hotcue as
loop, but rather a starting point in the track.

Greetings,
Paul

Not entirely sure what you meant.... but i guess just do both at same time then. With script set_cue & loop

And if you want a more "memory" feature (cdjs), you could use save loop also
 
Actually there's no need to set a hotcue on the beggining of a loop while a loop is active in order to jump there.
The reloop action will force the track to jump instantly back to the loop in point (the start of the loop) and will resume playback.
That's if a loop is active.
If loop is not active it will jump back to loop in point and will also trigger the loop (as the name suggests)

So, instead of using a hotcue, just use the "reloop" action

Hi all,

Thanks for your quick replies. I love this forum.

I tried the above script, but doesn`t work as a was intended. To make things a little more clear i want the next actions
in the sequence below by pussing on my HC4500 controller:

1.) The music file is playing----> button play
2.) Pressing cue to set the temporary cue point. (pressing cue once again is a stutter play action) -----> button cue
3.) When pussed the cue button the red marker is at the temporary cue point (and the music file is not playing) i want the jogweel do the following actions:
----- > jogwheel (VDJ script??)
- when turning the jogwheel a loop of 1/4 bar is created.
- At the same time a can jog this loop 0.05 bar forth or back.
4.) When the right starting point is find (by listening off course) i want to press the cue button to do the following actions: ----> cue button (VDJ script??)
- delete the first temporary cue point and
- set the start point of that loop as the new temporary cue point
- the loop is released and what is left is the new temporary cue point
5.) At this time a want to store the hotcue ----> hotcue button

I hope you can find the wright VDJ script for it. In this way an old software programm works that way. It was called bpmstudio and was the first software that comes with a original controller in the 90`s.

Anyway thanks.

Marcel
 
Actually you want stutter cue-ing.
Unfortunately this way of cue-ing is not supported (it was never supported by VirtualDJ) and it can't be scripted 100%
