Topic: Ableton Link and resetFXOnLoad
cryptoDJControlleristMember since 2017
I want Ableton Link permanently enabled but resetFXOnLoad turns off Ableton Link when I load a new track. I really need resetFXOnLoad to reset effects automatically because I ALWAYS forget to do it manually. The three other reasons are, to free up the effects slots, and I don’t want to have to switch to the MASTER tab every time to re-enable Ableton Link in the MASTER EFFECT, and I want ECHO always enabled in the Sampler. Is there a way to map Ableton Link in ONINIT as a way to bypass resetFXOnLoad?

Just now, I found that Master Effect is not affected by resetFXOnLoad. Cool. But I can't get a script to work in ONINIT

effect_active 1 'Ableton Link' on &

or

deck master effect_active 1 'Ableton Link' on &

deck master effect_active 'ableton link'

should work

OH SWEET! It works! Thanks, Rune!

Is the example given in the Mapping section wrong? It says

activate/deactivate the effect on a specific slot. example: effect_active 1 'flanger' on or effect_active 1

I also got the sampler effect to stay on by omitting on & 1

Maybe the examples are outdated? Is there a website dedicated to Virtual DJ Script, with a noob section would be nice :D

Maybe it was the & sign you put at end.
Otherwise it looked correct yours ;-)

Here 's my controller's ONINIT script. As I understand it, the "&" is supposed to separate each statement and commands. It works fine on everything. I'm afraid to change it now, I just know I'll wreck myself if I do. Thanks for the tips!


set "$mode" 1 & deck 1 vinyl_mode 0 & deck 2 vinyl_mode 0 &

sampler_volume_master 30% &

deck master effect_active 'ableton link' &

effect_active 'sampler' &

video on &

deck 1 leftvideo &

deck 2 rightvideo &

headphone_mix 50% &

mic on &

mic_volume 50% &

video_crossfader on

yes.. if you had more statements the & sign is correct ;-)

I was right, yay!

Ouch! I just injured my shoulder trying to pat myself on the back 😂
