This part of topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information

Hey,

I've got an RMX, and I guess this is a mapping issue, but is there a way of getting the "scratch" button to make the console control the 2 new extra decks?

So for example, when the scratch button is not illuminated, I control decks 1 & 2, but when I press it and the light comes on, can I then control decks 3 and 4?

I got the idea from the Herc 4-MX, which appears to have a button to switch which deck the jogs operate.

Failing that, can I plug in my old DJC Mk2 to control decks 3 & 4?

I'm so used to not using the mouse it's becoming a pain!!

Cheers

Bugger! Wrong forum, Sorry folks!

Any chance this thread can be moved?
 
same problem for me
 
 
I mapped this to my Source 1 & 2 button. Source 1 toggles between deck 1 & 3 for the left deck and Source 2 toggles between deck 2 & 4 for the right deck. So you could toggle everything with similar code on the scratch button. Personally, i like my solution, having individual control over each deck. :p

here's my code for SOURCE:
action_deck 1 ? deck 1 leftdeck ? deck 3 leftdeck : on & deck 1 leftdeck : deck 2 rightdeck ? deck 4 rightdeck : on & deck 2 rightdeck
 
Sir Wesley, Thank you! I didnt think of using the source buttons! Thanks so much, I'll try it out later
 
Just used the above example and works a treat. All I have had to do is add deck 3 and 4 to the commands for the scratch button so I can select the scratch on or off on all at the same time, tried by just adding them to the list but they are inverted, if deck 1 scratch is off, deck 3 is on.

Is there a command or globally turning scratch on and off?

Do you mean the "Scratch" LED?

In my example:
sirwesley wrote :

action_deck 1 ? deck 1 leftdeck ? deck 3 leftdeck : on & deck 1 leftdeck : deck 2 rightdeck ? deck 4 rightdeck : on & deck 2 rightdeck

the commands "on" and "off" are used to control the LEDs. So you will need to figure out the proper place to put those commands in the logic sequence to get the expected behavior.

I don't have my RMX with me at the moment, but I'd imagine something like this would work if you wanted to use the scratch button:

deck 1 leftdeck & deck 2 rightdeck ? deck 3 leftdeck & deck 4 rightdeck : on & deck 1 leftdeck & deck 2 rightdeck

However, keep in mind that if you manually select deck 1 & deck 4, they become out of sync, and the next time you push the "scratch" button, you will get "false" which will make deck 1 and deck 2 the decks with focus.

Hope that helps clear things up.
 
Thanks!

It's a better than I had originall thought of, and works brilliantly!

Many thanks again!
 
You're very Welcome! Have fun!
 
Hey guys ... I couldn't get this to work with the source button but it works fine for me using the kill mid buttons. Is there a code to do the same thing with the video control between the decks ?? I don't wanna have to use the mouse and I'm terrible with the codes and any help is greatly appreciated. If anyone has the code that works like it does for the decks could u please post it for me. Thanks in advance for any hep. VDJ ROCKS !!
 
I got it to work except the numbers don't light up ... and suggestions ??

Thanks for this but is anyone else getting decks 3 & 4 functioning like the scratch button is on no matter what?

Edit:
a quick fix was to add deck 1 vinyl_mode & deck 2 vinyl_mode & deck 3 vinyl_mode & deck 4 vinyl_mode to the scratch button which when on allows 3 & 4 to function like its off and 1 & 2 scratch and vise verse if that makes sense.

but that switches BOTH decks at the same time??
From being 1 & 2 .. to being 3 & 4 ..

For any controller that have 2 buttons mapped to same function (meaning it doesnt specify in the mapper if the button are left on the controller or right on the controller) like the SOURCE button on Hercules RMX (its just ONE source button in mapper settings, not two.. like Source_left and Source_right).. Having ONE in mapper is made to simplify mapping controllers..

But to have DIFFERENT actions on SAME button on both sides of the controller do this :

device_side left ? deck 1 leftdeck ? deck 3 select & deck 3 leftdeck : deck 1 select & deck 1 leftdeck : device_side right ? deck 2 rightdeck ? deck 4 select & deck 4 rightdeck : deck 2 select & deck 2 rightdeck

(for example at the SOURCE button at Hercules RMX)

This way you can change to deck 3 and deck 4 independently :) on right and left source button on the controller
The scripts "asks" if you press on the left side of the controller or right side :) and act independently

Adding SELECT to the script is useful, as it will also make this the dominant waveform (active), as well as headset prelisten (unless you are using PFL buttons manually in the skin)

This works but I would love a fix for the scratch button! Maybe I am missing something but even with that code I still have to toggle it?

Doesnt that work like you want?

Looks like I was close with my second attempt or at least had the functionality achieved :) :

I didn't see "device_side" in the "VDJScript verbs", but the wiki page still being @ 6.0.8 could be the problem.
 
So, I used the example above, the 1st one, and mapped the Source 1 button to swap between 1 and 3, and source 2 for 2 and 4.Then went to the scratch mapping and added in the extra decks, then in the options made jog mode cd.

Works a treat. Scratch still turns scratch on and off and light up if scratch is active.

So the code I used:
SOURCE button: action_deck 1 ? deck 1 leftdeck ? deck 3 leftdeck : on & deck 1 leftdeck : deck 2 rightdeck ? deck 4 rightdeck : on & deck 2 rightdeck

SCRATCH button: deck 1 vinyl_mode & deck 2 vinyl_mode & deck 3 vinyl_mode & deck 4 vinyl_mode

Just remember to change the jog mode to cd otherwise you end up with deck 3 and 4 having scratch turned on as you start up and they are then the opposite of 1 and 2 each time you press scratch.

The Source 1 button works just swapping the left side of the controller not both, the right works on the right so I can have 1 and 4 or 3 and 2 selected.

Thanks for the help!
 
Just thought I would try the code with the device_side in as suggested and it does work better, waves swap and pfl too. Cheers again everyone.
 
I'm not beside the RMX now but thought I'd ask this related question here as you folks will probably have an answer by the time I get home...

I intend using the RMX in conjunction with a pair of stanton vinyl decks and I have received information from Fuskit on here about to set this up http://www.virtualdj.com/forums/135522/PC_Version_Technical_Support/Question_about_VDJ7.html?search=timecode&page=1

I like the sound of the button to select a deck as outlined here but one thing that isn't clear to me however is how I will be able to toggle between timecode and standard vinyl when the system is configured in this way - any ideas? (I currently have "timecode_bypass" set to the SOURCE button in the RMX mappings which works fine when just using the 2 decks but it would be great to have 2 digital and 2 vinyl working too)

Thanks.
