Topic: Key change in 4 deck view

Hi,
I do quite a lot of karaoke and would like a quick way to get to a Key+1, Key-1, and Key Reset to original key.

In 2 deck mode (VDJ2018) I have seen the drop down arrow near the KEY setting and this works perfectly.
However, most of the time, I work in 4 deck view, with my top 2 decks being for music, and the bottom 2 being for karaoke.
Therefore I would like to know of a similar approach in 4 deck mode.

My first thought was the performance pads.
I created a new page called Key Adjust.
Then for Pad 1 I selected Key > Key_move. I added -1 myself and called the button "Minus 1" (so in the action column it says key_move -1)
Then for Pad 2 I selected Key > Key_move. I added +1 myself and called the button "Plus 1" (so in the action column it says key_move +1)
I selected Pad 3 and selected Key. I added 0 myself and called the button "Reset" (so in the action column it says key 0)

On my gig laptop this did not work at all.
On my desktop, the first time I pressed the Minus 1 button, the key DID go down by one.
After that nothing worked.
I know I must have it *Almost* right.
Could anyone help please?

Thank you,

Lee.

Actions seem to be correct.
In your /Documents/VirtualDJ/Pads folder, there should be a Key Adjust.xml file. Can you open it with a ext Editor and post here its content ?

Thanks for the reply.
Copy/Paste from the DESKTOP computer in NOTEPAD.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<page>
<pad1 name="Minus 1">key_move -1
</pad1>
<pad2 name="Plus 1">key_move +1
</pad2>
<pad3 name="Reset">key 0
</pad3>
</page>


and Copy/Paste from my gig LAPTOP in NOTEPAD.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<page>
<pad1 name="Key -1">key_move -1
</pad1>
<pad2 name="Key +1">key_move +1
</pad2>
</page>

I have deleted some line spaces as it was really spread out. I hope that is OK? ( I haven't alterred any individual lines, just deleted 'blank' ones)
It appears I only attempted the first 2 pads on the laptop!

Lee.

Hi,
Can anyone see if I am doing anything wrong, or have I encountered a bug?
Please be aware I am completely new to VDJ script.
Thank you,

Lee.

If you have new lines in your scripts (often happens with cut and paste) that may affect you script
So your script should end with the last letter/number that has meaning
Other than that I think your script looks fine

But another option you could use is simply using the key cue page that is already there
I know it usually also jumps, but that's a setting - hold on, I'll make a short video

Here is my example of using the default keycue pad:

That is absolutely perfect, thank you very much.
I was not aware of KeyCue. (I have been using VDJ7 until very recently).

The only problem now is why I cannot create any pads of my own? Bug? or stupidity?!

There should no problem creating your own - for instance I created one today

But be careful when pasting the script - new lines chars at the end of the script can mess up the last part of the script (though as I think that cause of error will soon be taken care of by the devs)

Thank you Klaus,
What would be the easiest and most fool-proof way to see if I can create ANY pad?
This will determine if it is my fault, or some sort of bug I am encountering.

Thanks,

Lee.

Maybe try selecting to create new pad page, and map something simple like play_pause to the first pad. Then exit the pad ediyor, use the mouse on the pad, and test that it does play/pause on the track in the deck

Hi Klaus,
I now know what I was doing wrong!
You were correct, I was pressing 'Enter' after typing my command, and this indeed does stop it from working.
I have created all sorts of pads now!
Easy when you know how.
Thanks once again.

Lee.
