VirtualDJ - ddj sx slicer issues

PRO InfinityMember since 2009

My vdj 8 has worked fine until tonight. I clicked in the slicer and all audio and video cut out until I pushed one of the pads.
Any thoughts and also is there a way around the soft takeover so i do not have to keep twisting knobs and pitch control to make it work correctly

Try with the default mapping file in case you re using a custom one. If the default mapping (recently modified) is working fine with the slicer and loop rolls, then use the same actions for the PAD MODE buttons to your custom one.

If the factory (default) mapping is not working for you, please try with the latest beta build.. no issues here.

For the sliders soft-takover you can see the options that the ControllerTakeoverMode and ControllerTakeoverModePitch settings offer.

so are we talking about these commands that have to be replaced in the custom mapper ?

-<map value="PAD_MODE_GROUP1" action="set 'padmode' 4 & slicer off" />
- <map value="PAD_MODE_ROLL" action="set 'padmode' 1 & slicer off & effect "Loop Roll" select" />
- <map value="PAD_MODE_GROUP2" action="set 'padmode' 5 & slicer off" />
- <map value="PAD_MODE_SLICER" action="var_equal 'padmode' 2 ? on & slicer off : set 'padmode' 2 & effect "Slicer" select" />
- <map value="PAD_MODE_GROUP3" action="var_equal 'padmode' 6 ? on & slicer off : set 'padmode' 6 & effect "Slicer" select" />

are these all of them , or did i miss something ?

so i just replace these in my custom mapper and i am ok ?

so...hold on..

let me get this correct :

should i add my custom mapping to the native mapper OR should i copy and replace the above ( some of them are not present in my custom mapper ....) to my custom mapper ?

so for the sake of argument could i please have the full list of what i have to change and from what to what ( native to modified or modified to native ) ?

i dont want to make a mistake and end up with a mapper that does not work corectly

PHANTODEEJAY : if it is not much to ask : could i send you my modified mapper and maybe you could make the changes ?

I'm in the same boat but I'm just going to rake through the XML and copy over the lines I originally changed. should only take 10 minutes or so.

so just to be sure

i will only have to copy the lines phantomdeejay posted ?

<map value="PAD_MODE_SAMPLER" action="set 'padmode' 3 & sideview 'sampler' & effect 'Slicer' active off & effect 'Loop Roll' active off" />
<map value="PAD_MODE_HOTCUE" action="set 'padmode' 0 & effect_active 'Slicer' off & effect_active 'Loop Roll' off" />
<map value="PAD_MODE_ROLL" action="set 'padmode' 1 & effect_active 'Slicer' off" />
<map value="PAD_MODE_SLICER" action="set 'padmode' 2 & effect_active 'Loop Roll' off" />
<map value="PAD_MODE_GROUP1" action="set 'padmode' 4 & effect_active 'Slicer' off & effect_active 'Loop Roll' off" />
<map value="PAD_MODE_GROUP2" action="set 'padmode' 5 & effect_active 'Slicer' off & effect_active 'Loop Roll' off" />
