Topic: ASSIGNING 2-FUNCTION TO BOOTH VOLUME KNOBS

Dieses Thema ist veraltet und kann veraltete oder falsche Informationen enthalten.

Hi, Is there any possibilities to assign 2-commands to a BOOTH VOLUMES KNOBS? to map as the following: Ist=work as "volume" of the sampler and 2nd=to work as "Filter" knobs? by assigning another buttons (lets call this button "SAMFIL" buttons) to serve as toggle switch of this 2-commands? For example if i press the "SAMFIL" button the booth knobs will function as "Sample Volume" then if i press shift+samfil button the booth knobs will work as filter. It sounds weird but if anyone have thoughts on this please tell me how does it works if need some scripting then just show me some example just to try on how does it works. thank you.

hey bro, what you need to do that is a simple shift to change the knobs function, but instead of using a toggling shift you need to make it toggle manually with scripting "0" & "1"

samfi shiftl on = set 'samfil' 1 or var 'samfil' 1 ?
samfil shift off = set 'samfil' 0 or var 'samfil' 0 ?

the reason you are doing this is so you can change what the "samfil" button does when shifted, with your normal shift.

so for your 'samfil' button you can script

var '$shift' ? set 'samfil' 1 & on : set 'samfil' 0

then for the knob you can use the 'samfil' shift as the query

var 'samfil' 1 ? filter : sampler_volume

you should also do yourself a favor and download qb filter, its amazing quality.. I have posted settings up before do a search of the forum if you want to find them, and be aware there is 12 parameters to the plugin not just what is on vdj's screen, it can all be mapped though.
 
Hi Bro, this is amazing... it is really great, thank you so much for your help again. I will try this filter.
 
This idea is really great and i was able to assign a lots of things easier now as it was before, my only question Andrew is do the "shift led" works blinks and assigned how fast it blinks. For example right now i have changed the assignment of my low eq knobs but still i used your idea of how it is being done. Right now i have used all my "LOW" EQ knobs as my FILTER and i like the idea of having it, i have seen some controller having fix switch button to toggle filter and the low eq knobs i want only to request the "shift led" flashing just to let me know that my low eq is now on filter mode. Would it be possible? sorry as i don't really get the logic of the led mapping and finding it difficult for me to understand. Thanks again.
 
the led is actually in the script, but only if you make it the "default" in the definition file..., I would take "on" out of the script and map the led individually, and yes, you can specify a blink time in milliseconds eg "blink 400ms" but the defualt if you just type "blink" on it's own is 500ms

var '$shift' ? set 'samfil' 1 & on : set 'samfil' 0

so for the led
var 'samfil' 1 ? blink 300ms : off

Also I suggest using your Hi eq for a filter, as this is almost always at or around 50%, and will cause the least interferance with your mix at either end of the scale, I also added this when mapping mine

param_smalller 55% ? eq_high & filter : param_smalller 65% ? filter & param_multiply 30% & eq_high : filter & param_multiply 15% & eq_high

this will stop the high from peaking and too high if I do a high sweep and turn it off back into the track..
 
Yes i did you are right, this is fantastic it much nicer to have the highs, as i feel redundant punch of bass on my low eq if i usually touch when sweeping the knobs now works very smooth, also i have notice on my VDJ "sampler" which is my booth knobs is doing the volume of that and i'm irritated with the gain of the vdj sampler as it plays a samples as in 4x or more higher than the main volume. I have observe that is still a bit higher than my mains something like the gain is so much louder i don't know why. Is there a remedy to reduce the gain of the sample knobs it should be at least level structure to the main volume and it should not go beyond that. Thank you so much bro.
 
vdj8 will probably be the remedy It has been requested for a while, as unfortunately the sampler isn't linked to the master or gain of the decks at the moment.
 
I think the best way is to link in the deck/channel or small percent higher but should not exceed to the main outs so that it will be the same as the audio played in the deck. Thanks bro
 
I put a script on here somewhere that does exactly that mapped to the play button, never tried it out though LOL, it was pretty much

deck default gain 50% ? sampler volume 100% & sampler play_pause : deck default gain 49% ? sampler volume 98% & sampler play_pause : deck default gain 48% ? sampler volume 96% & sampler play_pause : deck default gain 47% ? sampler volume 94% & sampler play_pause : deck default gain 46% ? sampler volume 92% & sampler play_pause : etc...

you would need to modify the parameters as this is just, how it could work in theory to set the sample relative to the playing track...
 
Ok let me try this and i will let you know. Thanks again.
