Topic: VDJ Script to switch\swap Decks

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

So now that there are 99 decks available. I would like to do a simple task and can not seem to get it right. I use a VCI-300, I set the assignment on the controller to LEFT and RIGHT respectively. All I want to do is remap my CRATES button so when it when pressed it swaps between deck 1 to deck 3 and the BROWSE button deck 2 to deck 4. But I want all the controls to swap (PITCH, VOLUME, JOGWHEEL, PFL) I would have thought there would be a simple command to do that I did notice "invert controller" will cycle through all the decks but I would prefer only the 2 respective to the LEFT or RIGHT, I guess the same effect as using the mouse and clicking LEFT or RIGHT on the bottom left of the decks. Maybe if the command does not exist it a decent suggestion something like "swap_active deck 1 & 2" or "deck 1 & deck 3 left deck" something to that effect.

You need to dedicate one button for deck and map:

device_side left ? deck 1 leftdeck ? deck 3 leftdeck : deck 1 leftdeck : deck 2 rightdeck ? deck 4 rightdeck : deck 2 rightdeck


and its led:

device_side left ? deck 3 leftdeck :  deck 4 rightdeck


and when deck 3 or 4 will be active the led will be ON.

This never worked for me but the following accomplished exactly what I wanted, you pointed me on the right track thanks:

I have VCI 300 so i mapped:

CRATES to deck 1 leftdeck ? deck 3 leftdeck : deck 1 leftdeck
LED_CRATES to device_side ? deck 1 leftdeck : deck 3 leftdeck

AND

BROWSE to deck 2 rightdeck ? deck 4 rightdeck : deck 2 rightdeck
LED_BROWSE to device_side ? deck 2 rightdeck : deck 4 rightdeck
 

Or even better, that makes the deck you swap to also the active deck, putting the waveform in front, as well as turn that deck to the deck you control with a 2 deck controller (like VCI-300)


deck 1 leftdeck ? deck 3 leftdeck & deck 3 select : deck 1 leftdeck & deck 1 select


deck 2 rigthdeck ? deck 4 rigthdeck & deck 4 select : deck 2 rigthdeck & deck 2 select
