Hello,
I have almost no experience in mapping functions, but need to fix something for a show next week.
The idea:
3 songs, always to be played in the same order. I need to assign 3 buttons to do several things:
Button 1: fade in - play deck 1 in a preset volume.
Button 2: set volume deck 1 to 50% and start playing deck 2 in a preset volume..
Button 3: stop playing deck 1 and deck 2. Start playing deck 3 in a preset volume.
Deck 3 will contain a song of 1 hour. At any time in this song, if we press buttoin 1 again, deck 3 should fade out, and deck 1 should fade in.
Can anyone help me with the mapping codes for the 3 buttons?
Thanks in advance!

You could try to assign the crossfader to deck 1 and deck 3.
Now mapping the buttons:
button 1:
deck 1 play & auto_crossfade 3000ms
(You can specify the duration of the crossfade in ms)
button 2:
deck 1 volume 50% & deck 2 play
if you don't pull the volume fader all the way up you could use volume_relative:
deck 1 volume_relative 50% & deck 2 play
Off the wiki:
volume_relative : set the volume of the deck, relative to the software volume position.
button 3:
deck 1 stop & deck 2 stop & deck 3 play
Now mapping the buttons:
button 1:
deck 1 play & auto_crossfade 3000ms
(You can specify the duration of the crossfade in ms)
button 2:
deck 1 volume 50% & deck 2 play
if you don't pull the volume fader all the way up you could use volume_relative:
deck 1 volume_relative 50% & deck 2 play
Off the wiki:
volume_relative : set the volume of the deck, relative to the software volume position.
button 3:
deck 1 stop & deck 2 stop & deck 3 play

Great, works lik a charm!
Can we make this somewhat more difficult...:)
Instead of playing song 3, would it be possible to play a song from the playlist? And if no buttons is pressed, the next playlist song will be mixed? Would be great if all the playlist songs remain in the list after being played, and there is a shuffle action in it, so everytime button 3 is pressed, a different song is loaded....
Could this also be done?
Thanks for so far, the solution so far will work out for now!!
