Topic: Help mapping Kontrol Z2

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

Hello I just got a Kontrol Z2, tweaked a few simple commands to my like, slipmode,looprolls,loopjumps,FX,etc, now I wanted to control Deck 3 and the Sampler on the Z2 pads.
by default we can change hotcues 1-4 and 5-8 by switching on "HOT A" or "HOT C" ,
so I edited it and make it like Traktor: press "HOT A" (LED on) access hotcues 1-4 ; press again "HOT A" (LED blink) and access hotcues 5-8
[cycle 'whcues' 2 and for LEDs var 'whcues' 1? blink : on ]

http://www.virtualdj.com/manuals/hardware/ni/z2/layout.html
now I wanted to use "HOT C" for the deck 3 Hotcues 1-4 & 5-8 same has deck 1
and use "HOT D" for the Samplepads 1-4 & 5-8
when I got more than one variable/query I get confused and things get messed,
help please thank you

last year djdad helped me creating a script for my vestax padone, maybe I should use the same script??just changing the effects for hot cues??
thank you
deck left set 'test1' 1 while_pressed & down ? deck left effect_active 'echo' on & deck left effect_slider 'echo' 2 20% : deck left var 'test2' 1 ? deck left effect_slider 'echo' 2 30% : deck left var 'test3' 1 ? deck left effect_slider 'echo' 2 40% : deck left var 'test4' 1 ? deck left effect_slider 'echo' 2 50% : deck left effect_active 'echo' off
 
Solution:
<map value="HOT_A" action="var_equal 'whcues' 0 ? set 'whcues' 1 : set 'whcues' 0" />
<map value="HOT_B" action="var_equal 'whcues' 0 ? set 'whcues' 1 : set 'whcues' 0" />
<map value="HOT_C" action="var_equal 'whcues' 2 ? set 'whcues' 3 : set 'whcues' 2" />
<map value="HOT_D" action="var_equal 'whcues' 2 ? set 'whcues' 3 : set 'whcues' 2" />
<map value="LED_HOT_A" action="var_equal 'whcues' 0 ? on : var_equal 'whcues' 1 ? blink : off" />
<map value="LED_HOT_B" action="var_equal 'whcues' 0 ? on : var_equal 'whcues' 1 ? blink : off" />
<map value="LED_HOT_C" action="var_equal 'whcues' 2 ? on : var_equal 'whcues' 3 ? blink : off" />
<map value="LED_HOT_D" action="var_equal 'whcues' 2 ? on : var_equal 'whcues' 3 ? blink : off" />
<map value="HOT_1" action="var_equal 'whcues' 3 ? shift ? sampler_stop 5 : sampler_pad 5 : var_equal 'whcues' 2 ? shift ? sampler_stop 1 : sampler_pad 1 : var_equal 'whcues' 1 ? shift ? delete_cue 5 : hot_cue 5 : shift ? delete_cue 1 : hot_cue 1" />
<map value="LED_HOT1" action="var_equal 'whcues' 3 ? get_sample_color 5 : var_equal 'whcues' 2 ? get_sample_color 1 : var_equal 'whcues' 1 ? hot_cue 5 ? shift ? blink 333ms ? cue_color 5 : off : cue_color 5 : color 15% 'white' : hot_cue 1 ? shift ? blink 333ms ? cue_color 1 : off : cue_color 1 : color 15% 'white'" />
 
thats great! I will try it as soon has I get home! thanks a lot!

edit: what about deck 3? can I just add deck 3 hot_cue to the var ´whcues´ 3?
can I use HOT C for deck 3 and HOT D for Sampler?
thanks again
 
Hello , just edited the mapping with your scripts, HOTs & LEDs,copied and tweaked for the rest of the Cues, its looking great, and performing great! thank you so much Phantom
but I need the sampler only on the right side, now I need the 3rd deck on the left side please (HOT C=deck 3 ; HOT D=sampler)
thank you
I tried and add some action_deck 3/left deck to your script, no success....
 
edited your scripts for these to try and get the 3rd deck on the left....
HOT_C = var_equal 'whcues' 4 ? set 'whcues' 5 : set 'whcues' 4

HOT_1 = var_equal 'whcues' 3 ? shift ? sampler_stop 5 : sampler_pad 5 : var_equal 'wscues' 5 ? shift ? deck 3 delete_cue 5 : deck 3 hot_cue 5 : var_equal 'wscues' 4 ? shift ? deck 3 delete_cue 1 : deck 3 hot_cue 1 : shift ? sampler_stop 1 : sampler_pad 1 : var_equal 'whcues' 1 ? shift ? delete_cue 5 : hot_cue 5 : shift ? delete_cue 1 : hot_cue 1

with this script I only get the sampler....no success

HOT_C = var_equal 'whcues' 2 ? set 'whcues' 3 & set 'deck3' 1 : set 'whcues' 2 & set 'deck3' 1

HOT_1 = var_equal 'whcues' 3 ? var_equal 'deck3' 1 ? shift ? deck 3 delete_cue 5 : deck 3 hot_cue 5 : shift ? sampler_stop 5 : sampler_pad 5 : var_equal 'deck3' 1 ? shift ? deck 3 delete_cue 1 : deck 3 hot_cue 1 : shift ? sampler_stop 1 : sampler_pad 1 : var_equal 'whcues' 1 ? shift ? delete_cue 5 : hot_cue 5 : shift ? delete_cue 1 : hot_cue 1

no success, I get deck 3 and sampler, but then loose deck 2...help please
thank you
 
tried this script today:
HOT C = var_equal 'whcues' 4 ? set 'whcues' 5 : set 'whcues' 4

HOT_1= var_equal 'whcues' 3 ? shift ? sampler_stop 5 : sampler_pad 5 : var_equal 'whcues' 5 ? shift ? deck 3 delete_cue 5 : deck 3 hot_cue 5 : var_equal 'whcues' 4 ? shift ? deck 3 delete_cue 1 : deck 3 hot_cue 1 : var_equal 'whcues' 2 ? shift ? sampler_stop 1 : sampler_pad 1 : var_equal 'whcues' 1 ? shift ? delete_cue 5 : hot_cue 5 : shift ? delete_cue 1 : hot_cue 1

its getting better I think, but still have issues: deck 1 and 2 get stuck on hotcues 5-8, I can delete(shift) cues 1-4 and 5-8, but can't go back to cues 1-4,...... deck 3 and sampler work fine.
HELP please, almost finished...
thank you
 
I think I got it!
hot_1 = var_equal 'whcues' 3 ? shift ? sampler_stop 5 : sampler_pad 5 : var_equal 'whcues' 5 ? shift ? deck 3 delete_cue 5 : deck 3 hot_cue 5 : var_equal 'whcues' 4 ? shift ? deck 3 delete_cue 1 : deck 3 hot_cue 1 : var_equal 'whcues' 2 ? shift ? sampler_stop 1 : sampler_pad 1 : var_equal 'whcues' 1 ? shift ? delete_cue 5 : hot_cue 5 : shift ? delete_cue 1 : var_equal 'whcues' 0 ? hot_cue 1 : hot_cue 1

3 decks and sampler! going for the LEDs will post for help, when I get in trouble.
 
now I'm stuck on mapping the LEDs
edited Phantom script for this one:
LED HOT_1= var_equal 'whcues' 3 ? get_sample_color 5 : var_equal 'whcues' 2 ? get_sample_color 1 : var_equal 'whcues' 1 ? hot_cue 5 ? shift ? blink 500ms ? cue_color 5 : off : cue_color 5 : color 15% 'white' : hot_cue 1 ? shift ? blink 500ms ? cue_color 1 : off : cue_color 1 : var_equal 'whcues' 4 ? deck 3 hot_cue 5 ? shift ? blink 500ms ? deck 3 hot_cue 5 : off : deck 3 cue_ color 5 : color 15% 'white' : deck 3 hot_cue 1 ? shift ? blink 500ms ? deck 3 cue_color 1 : off : deck 3 cue_color 1 : color 15% 'white : var_equal 'whcues' 5 ? deck 3 hot_cue 5 : shift ? blink 500ms ? deck 3 cue_color 5 : color 15% 'white' : deck 3 hot_cue 1 ? shift ? blink 500ms ? deck 3 cue_color 1 : off : deck 3 cue_color 1 : color 15% 'white' : color 15% 'white'
deck 1 and 2 and sampler are fine, but deck 3 isn't light proper, only if deck 1 is empty ,can someone HELP me out?
thank you
 
LED_HOT_1
var_equal 'whcues' 3 ? get_sample_color 5 : var_equal 'whcues' 2 ? get_sample_color 1 : var_equal 'whcues' 1 ? hot_cue 5 ? shift ? blink 500ms ? cue_color 5 : off : cue_color 5 : color 15% 'white' : hot_cue 1 ? shift ? blink 500ms ? cue_color 1 : off : cue_color 1 : var_equal 'whcues' 5 ? deck 3 hot_cue 5 ? shift ? blink 500ms ? deck 3 cue_color 5 : off : deck 3 cue_ color 5 : color 15% 'white' : deck 3 hot_cue 1 ? shift ? blink 500ms ? deck 3 cue_color 1 : off : deck 3 cue_color 1 : color 15% 'white' : var_equal 'whcues' 4 ? deck 3 hot_cue 5 ? shift ? blink 500ms ? deck 3 cue_color 5 : off : deck 3 cue_color 5 : color 15% 'white' : deck 3 hot_cue 1 ? shift ? blink 500ms ? deck 3 cue_color 1 : off : deck 3 cue_color 1 : color 15% 'white' : var_equal 'whcues' 0 ? hot_cue 5 ? shift ? blink 500ms ? cue_color 5 : off : cue_color 5 : color 15% 'white' : hot_cue 1 ? shift ? blink 500ms ? cue_color 1 : off : cue_color 1 : color 15% 'white'
deck 3 lights up only when deck 1 is empty/unloaded...
no success.. my brain is melting.....
help please
thank you
 
Why don't you just wait for help, rather than just posting again and again? People have been warned against doing that on the forum.
 
sorry, I was posting the best scripts I could build. maybe someone could read them, and find the errors.
I found a solution,
LED_HOT_3= var_equal 'whcues' 3 ? get_sample_color 5 : var_equal 'whcues' 2 ? get_sample_color 1 : var_equal 'whcues' 4 ? deck 3 hot_cue 3 ? shift ? blink 500ms ? deck 3 cue_color 3 : off : deck 3 cue_color 3 : color 15% 'white' : var_equal 'whcues' 5 ? deck 3 hot_cue 7 ? shift ? blink 500ms ? deck 3 cue_color 7 : off : deck 3 cue_color 7 : color 15% 'white' : var_equal 'whcues' 1 ? hot_cue 7 ? shift ? blink 500ms ? cue_color 7 : off : cue_color 7 : color 15% 'white' : hot_cue 3 ? shift ? blink 500ms ? cue_color 3 : off : cue_color 3 : color 15% 'white'

when I finish the Z2 Mapper I will share with VDJ community. it will control 3 decks, and sampler.
thank you PhantomDJ for the code scripts, you helped me a lot.
 
So, you figured this out ?
I can come up with a script, but if you sorted this then it would be best to not clutter the thread
 
I think I did figure out, can you please check the scripts for errors? thank you

hot_c= var_equal 'whcues' 4 ? set 'whcues' 5 : set 'whcues' 4

hot_1 = var_equal 'whcues' 3 ? shift ? sampler_stop 5 : sampler_pad 5 : var_equal 'whcues' 5 ? shift ? deck 3 delete_cue 5 : deck 3 hot_cue 5 : var_equal 'whcues' 4 ? shift ? deck 3 delete_cue 1 : deck 3 hot_cue 1 : var_equal 'whcues' 2 ? shift ? sampler_stop 1 : sampler_pad 1 : var_equal 'whcues' 1 ? shift ? delete_cue 5 : hot_cue 5 : shift ? delete_cue 1 : hot_cue 1

Hello again, I need help, the Z2 has Load A / B buttons to load or duplicate tracks, the commands are only "load" and "clone_deck", now I wanted to map the the A/B buttons to clone deck A to B or vice versa, the native Z2 mapper clone deck randomly clones to deck 3 and 4 also...
thank you

device_side 'left' ? deck right clone_deck left : deck left clone_deck right

 
If you are running the latest Build, you can try, just ..
clone_from_deck
or if you want to click/tap to load and double-click/tap to clone, you can try..
doubleclick ? clone_from_deck : load
 
in need of help please, can I associate the loop size with beatjump? lets say the Z2 loop size is at 8, so beatjumping would be 8 beats, if the Z2 loop is at 16, beat jump 16 beats, on so on. is this possible?
thank you
