Topic: Sampler out of sync when started by controller
SveninoPRO InfinityMember since 2009
I start my sampler with a Drumloop via Controller-Button with
deck active sampler 7 play_stop

Leftdeck is masterdeck and the sampler is synced fine.
Now I start Rightdeck synced to Leftdeck and crossfade.
Stop Leftdeck.
Then I put Rightdeck as Masterdeck & Selected deck.
When I now change the tempo of Rightdeck the Sampler 7 should sync to it.
But it stays in tempo of Leftdeck although this is stoped and not masterdeck anymore and not even selected deck.
This is crazy. What to do?
(By the way: in Sample Editor the loop is set to "loop" and "Sync-Loc"
And please don´t tell me, the "Sync-Loc" is the problem, because I need this to

By the way: Sampler output is set to
deck master sampler_output

(otherwise the loop would disapear with the crossfade to the right side)
Please help, I have really gigs in some days and spent MANY hours to move from
VDJ7 to VDJ8
I can´t move back now, this is too late.
(And these simple things worked always in good old VDJ7
Whether I started a loop from the controller or anywhere else, it always stayed in sync with the master tempo deck.)
I´m tired of all these little issues and bugs!
I want to stop having to reprogram everything and finally start making music again!

Sorry, but how can a Sampler-Loop that is correctly set and synced to the master deck suddenly no longer be in sync simply because the master deck has changed?
Please help...

Crazy: When I start the sampler from the skin-sampler-pads it works fine.

Seems to work fine here, but maybe I misunderstood a step you did ...

Hey Rune, nice to know You are there...
How did You start the sampler.
With the mouse on the skin or by a controller?

I have installed "Sampler 16" Addon. May this be the issue?

Shouldnt matter if its a controller or mouse..
Unless the controller takes master deck somewhere else

???What does this mean???
I manually put masterdeck and selected deck with my fingertips on the skin and see that Rightdeck is Masterdeck and selected. And nevertheless the f... sample get´s out of sync just because it was started by the controller and not by the skinbuttons...
huuuurghhhh!

and it even doesn´t matter if I turn pitch_sync on or off...

Will give it a try on controller in a few, but without it for sure works like a charm my end ;-)

What is "a few"?
days? ;-)
The PROBLEM is ONLY the start by the CONTROLLER and nothing else...

It seems as the sampler started by the controller button is on another planet, after the stoping of the deck which was running, when the sampler was started...
How shall I mix, when the drumloop under everything is on another planet???
(Sampler output is set to "deck master sampler_output")

Please try further...
I can´t mix with a mouse or my fingers on a screen.
I need to start things by big controller buttons...

Please excuse this tone, I know that You are working hard to help here in this forum.

But I am working hard on so many issues these days. And then a sync problem like this just knocks me out because I can't go on stage with such an error. I can stay at home... And I won´t get paid...

Can there be something in the options that I missed?

Or can I give the button smth. more?
Not just [deck active sampler 7 play_stop]
But [deck active sampler 7 play_stop and stay in sync with every deck which is made to a masterdeck]?

It´s 4:29 am !!! It took me 4 hours (trying many things, making a video on Youtube....)
And now I (myself!) found out:

The right command for the button has to be
sampler_pad 7

If a Controller-Button calls this, the corresponding sampler slot will react to the tempo changes on every masterdeck...
I tested this with 5 drumloops running all in sync with leftdeck and then with rightdeck...

Sorry, but something like this really gets me down. It took 4 hours and so much energy...

Now it is time to ask for forgiveness because of yesterday's impatience.
It was very late and I was at the end of my rope...
Dear RUNE, NICOTUX, LOCODOC and everybody else here!
All of you who have helped me so many times:
You do not deserve impatience but only praise for all the help.
(The tube-vid was just non-public - didn´t know how to post a video here...)

So again (last time for today), I'm totally excited about VDJ 2021 with all the great possibilities.
And it cannot be emphasized often enough:
The quick help in this forum is sensational. Where else can you still call for help far after 11 pm?
So many thanks to all of you and Cheers!
Svenino
