I am trying to map 2 switchs (FADER START) on the NS7 to shift to deck 3&4. The left switch controls the left deck (1 or 3) and the right switch controls the right deck (2 or 4). These are switches, so you move them and they stay (unlike a momentary contact of a button). I can get all of my goals to work, but I am working out a small bug.
Here is the catch, I also mapped a "set 'deck_shift'" command to turn on a status light when the deck is shifted. The problem is, every time VDJ starts up, these lights flash (indicating a shifted deck) until you cycle this FADER_START switch. This is what I have:
FADER_START - action_deck 1 ? up ? deck 1 select & deck 1 leftdeck & set 'deck_shift' 0 : deck 3 select & deck 3 leftdeck & set 'deck_shift' 1 : nothing & action_deck 2 ? up ? deck 2 select & deck 2 rightdeck & set 'deck_shift' 0 : deck 4 select & deck 4 rightdeck & set 'deck_shift' 1 : nothing
Once the switch is cycled, everything works correctly until the next VDJ start up. Now I have found a way to make that not happen. If I use this:
FADER_START - up ? set 'deck_shift' 0 : set 'deck_shift' 1
The lights don't flash on VDJ start up. They work perfectly actually with this command, except for that I removed all the deck shifting stuff. So there would really be no need fo the status lights if I had to use this ;) So I need a way to combine these next two scripts as they work perfect only when on thier own:
Command 1 - Deck shift part (no status light)
action_deck 1 ? up ? deck 1 select & deck 1 leftdeck : deck 3 select & deck 3 leftdeck : nothing & action_deck 2 ? up ? deck 2 select & deck 2 rightdeck : deck 4 select & deck 4 rightdeck : nothing
Command 2 - Status light part (no deck shifting)
up ? set 'deck_shift' 0 : set 'deck_shift' 1
So far, I need to use the first script where they flash on start up. Because any of the other revisions of this script that I have tried, either one or both functions don't work. I am close, I can feel it, any ideas??
