Topic: "device_side 1" script is working on one mixer but not another
I'm attempting to customize my EQ knobs so they look something like this:
EQ_HI = stem "HiHat"
EQ_MID = stem "Vocal"
EQ_LOW = stem "Melody"
FILTER = stem "Kick"

This works great on a 2 channel midi mixer but I'm attempting to achieve the same on a four channel Pioneer DJM. Stem separation on the outer channels and regular EQ on the inner channels.

I wrote the following script and attached it to EQ_HIGH, but it didn't work:
device_side 1 ? stem "HiHat" :
device_side 2 ? eq_high :
device_side 3 ? eq_high :
device_side 4 ? stem "HiHat"


So in an attempt to debug it I tested:
device_side 1 ? debug "Test"

It also wouldn't work, so I tested the same on a 2 channel mixer and it works fine. I've tested a simple debug "test" on the knob and it also works fine. I feel like I'm missing something obvious.

Why dont you use the EQModeDual and select the outer channels for Stems ?

Have you tried using action_deck x, instead of device_side x ? Probably acting the same but worth trying.
But again, there is an automation already for such cases.
 
I've been using EQModeDual up to this point with eqMode set to ModernEQ but I don't like the way the mid knob is configured with both vocal and melody, I'm looking to split them on to their own knobs, hence doing this.

I haven't tried action_deck but I'll give it a shot, unfortunately I just left the venue with the mixer and won't be back for a few days.
 
Thanks a heap DJDAD, action_deck worked.

For anyone else looking to achieve this:

EQ_HIGH
action_deck 3 ? deck 1 stem "HiHat" :
action_deck 1 ? deck 1 eq_high :
action_deck 2 ? deck 2 eq_high :
action_deck 4 ? deck 2 stem "HiHat"


EQ_MID
action_deck 3 ? deck 1 stem "Vocal" :
action_deck 1 ? deck 1 eq_mid :
action_deck 2 ? deck 2 eq_mid :
action_deck 4 ? deck 2 stem "Vocal"


EQ_LOW
action_deck 3 ? deck 1 stem "Melody" :
action_deck 1 ? deck 1 eq_low :
action_deck 2 ? deck 2 eq_low :
action_deck 4 ? deck 2 stem "Melody"


COLOR/Filter
action_deck 3 ? deck 1 stem "Kick" :
action_deck 1 ? deck 1 filter :
action_deck 2 ? deck 2 filter :
action_deck 4 ? deck 2 stem "Kick"
