Ok i want my sync button to blink accord to the 4 beat grid lights..still with the sync function. I mix hiphop/r&b and the sync light doesnt respond well. So i just want it to blink with the progressing of the cbg indicators at top of screen.

ok when it come to the tech part i need help...where do i right all of that
 
ok sensei ....grasshopper needs much learning..ok i want my cue button to just take me to the beginning of the track. since the the vci400 has so many cue options don really need them on bottom.
 
how do i save these mappings it seems to change when i restart VDJ
 
the only reason i can think of regarding your mapping not updating is you may have the write protection enabled. To fix it go to the mappers folder in 'my documents/VirtualDJ' right click the properties option and make sure the 'read only' box isn't checked. Not sure that is the problem though as it's never happened to me.

For the cue you have four options grasshopper. if you set cue 1 at the start of the track every time use:
hot_cue 1 ? goto_cue 1 : set_cue 1

The next two methods aren't fool proof and will have varying results that are out of your control as VDJ's algorithm decides it for you. but try the following three options and see which works best:
goto 0
goto_first_beat

the last option will go to the absolute start of the track. It would be like using a cd player where you had to turn the jog to find the first beat for some tracks:
goto 0ms

for the reasons above the I strongly suggest you use hot_cue 1 for the start of your track on every track, that way you have full control over where the track should start.
 
thank you very much...ok i can assign samples to pads instead of sample bank? so i can have sixteen samples on pads. or do i use sampler 48 for the banks. The vci400 has 16 pads but i think even with sample bank im limited to 12 samples at a time. is that correct?
 
so the four rectangle buttons become pages, so the sampler 48 plug in is not needed. each page will have 12 global samples and will be the same on both left and right side. so will i be able to pull up mode 0 on left side then can pull up mode 2 on rightside or is it mirrored for both sides
 
this is what im thinking mode 0 a set of samples across the pads, mode 2 another set of samples, mode 3 another set of samples ect. and still use the shift button on top of button to toggle between my sample scheme and my cue scheme..like it does now but in cue mode the grid buttons do nothing.

Map the LED of the SYNC button as ..
get beatpos & param_mod 1.0 & param_smaller 0.25 ? on : off

no need to install any Plugin actually.
 
that's pretty cool, but the readme file didn't say there was anyway to reference the different banks with VDJ Script, You should send the creator a PM and ask if they can incorporate a way to change the banks with a script variable, until that happens your stuck with the hard way if you want to map it, but you could probably use the plugin to set the banks and then copy the locations from the config file for the plugin and default volumes if you want to set that as well.
 
Is that the led being on when the deck is synced to the master deck Babis? or is it just blinking on the down beat. That can also be done with "get beat_num 1", or "get beatgrid" for every beat. The only reason for the inclusion of phantoms plugin in this case is the master sync, which I think is a very worthwhile addition.
 
yea that made it tighter...thanks dad...
 
Ok im stuck with this sampler situation ...is modes like pages with eight samples on each mode that auto loads when i hit one of the grid pads. im lost please be patient with me...i never could understand VDJ script...so i ask a lot of help.
 
with the last script I gave you to put into my webpage it will play samples 1 - 8 on the left side and 9 - 12 on the right. Because it dynamically writes the code with a loop the sampler numbers actually go up to 16 but you can change them manually if you want them to do anything else. I'm not sure how I can cut the loop short easily to stop it from happening as that loop checks and replaces about different 10 regular expressions before printing the final results at the bottom of the page.

In regard to the loading of sample banks that is up to you, but you would need to script the samples you want to load as I showed above and add it to the mode buttons. you can use this as a template, but remember to delete out the new lines before adding it to your code

sampler 1 load "samp_1_name.vdj" &
sampler 2 load "samp_2_name.vdj" &
sampler 3 load "samp_3_name.vdj" &
sampler 4 load "samp_4_name.vdj" &
sampler 5 load "samp_5_name.vdj" &
sampler 6 load "samp_6_name.vdj" &
sampler 7 load "samp_7_name.vdj" &
sampler 8 load "samp_8_name.vdj" &
sampler 9 load "samp_9_name.vdj" &
sampler 10 load "samp_10_name.vdj" &
sampler 11 load "samp_11_name.vdj" &
sampler 12 load "samp_12_name.vdj"

if you want to easily remove the new lines you can open a new post on the forum. paste in your sampler script when it's finished, then press F12 on your keyboard to open the developer tools, click on the console and paste in the following code. When you press enter it will delete the lines automagically. copy the text and press back to not post a new thread. This will work on any webpage with a large text input box though.

(function(){var t = document.getElementsByTagName('textarea')[0]; t.value = t.value.replace(/\n/g, ' ');})();
 
you gurus make me feel dumb dumb...i just dont get it..
 
 
no. im trying to map my sample pads on the vci400.

yeah the sampler only has 12 slots so you couldn't use all 16 pads. If your going to do that you may aswell change the grid buttons into four individual shift layers. That is as easy as setting a few shifts on the rectangle buttons below the grid follow the respective order.

var '$shift' ? set 'mode' 4 : set 'mode' 0
var '$shift' ? set 'mode' 5 : set 'mode' 1
var '$shift' ? set 'mode' 6 : set 'mode' 2
var '$shift' ? set 'mode' 7 : set 'mode' 3

I made an application to easily populate 8 shifts using javascript a while ago, I'll put it on a friends server that I just made a website for. I'll have to delete it in a couple of days though. When you open it press the "show example" button, you can change anything in the boxes, then to compile everything press the show scripts button. There are special key words to do different things as stated at the top and it will tell you if you have not filled a conditional statement in fully. It says you can type SLICER but I removed it as it was too buggy to release so there is just a placeholder there now. I made it on Chrome, so I don't think it will work on IE earlier than version 9.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

thats what he introduced me too.

i mention sampler48 because it has 4 banks and want to be able to map sample banks to the 4 grid buttons on the vci400 and still be able to shift toggle into the cue scheme which i will have to remap because when i hit shift it toggle between sampler and loop schemes.
 
if you load up some sample banks in the sampler manager or sampler 48 plugins and send me the configuration files I'll do it for you if that easier, It shouldn't take too long to do. The configuration files ".ini" are located in the folder with the plugins. Or I can make a quick web application to automate it, that would only take a couple of minutes more..
 
i wont ask u to write a program...but ill load the samples and try to send it to you. where do i send it
