I want to be the first to thank the VDJ team for the speed in which they worked on the support. I can't wait to use it but I had to thank you first.

Thank you so much for making it functional, one thing I wanted to ask is when in stem split mode, would it be possible to manipulate each deck individually, for example, I load a track put it in stem split, this clones the decks, putting the acapella on deck 1 and then the instruments load on deck 3, normal behavior. now what I want is the ability to then hit deck 1 or 3 while in stem split, then hit slip mode, and perhaps scratch the vocal while the instruments continue playin and vice versa.. currently in the current implementation, touch the jog will manipulate both decks even if a specific deck is selected, in this example it scratches on both decks instead of the single deck...not sure if this is possible but I kno on Serato it is as ive tried on both.

That is what the stems_split_unlink action does, after you have entered stems_split "mode"
After you trigger that, the split stems run independently when it comes to scratching, hotcue jumping, braking and so on
When you then trigger it a second time it goes back to the locked stems_split mode, and the leading deck for this transition (back to being locked together), will be the deck you trigger the "relinking" on, by turning the unlink off again

I'm not sure if this unlink action is currently mapped on the Rane Four, and I have neither a Rane Four nor a VDJ hardware manual for the unit to check it on :) (I don't think the manual is ready yet)
But if you can't find the action on the unit, you can still test it by temporarily mapping stems_split_unlink to a custom button on the skin, and then click that after you have enabled stems split on the controller

update mapped the unlink function to a button I dont use, and it works as expected.!

I would think it would be mapped on these buttons somehow:

Fixed now, after restarting VirtualDJ the factory default mapper should be updated automatically

It will get added there.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

THANKS!!

Just a quick note:
In order to turn it off (and join the decks back together, but keep stems_split active) just click the blinking deck button.
I'm saying this because in Serato after you unlink the decks you click the "STEMS SPLIT" button to link them again.
In VirtualDJ you just click the deck button instead
