Topic: Crossfader while video mixing using the VMS4.1 Skin

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Not sure if it a skin defect or something wrong with my settings. When using the VMS as a controller and have the skin set to the video mixing, my crossfader drifts towards the middle causing the song that I'm cueing through my headphones to play over the speakers. Noticed it while I was practicing thankfully.

I think it has something to do with my crossfader in the VMS. The CF issue only happens when the controller is connected and only happens to the right deck when using 2 deck skin.

Did you try the 4 Deck Skin...same issue...?

I find with my VMS4.1 I get every so slight movement from the crossfader - I think because it's really loose (which is great for scratching of course) it picks up vibrations. It's a pain when I use the Key Learn button in Setup but not had it being as extreme as you're talking about. Try the default skin and make sure the mapping for it is just to 'crossfader'. If you're still seeing the problem it might be a hardware fault. You could also confirm whether it's a hardware fault by using miditrace. There's a similar thread here which includes a link: http://www.virtualdj.com/forums/165792/Hardware_Technical_Support/Crossfader_automatically_fades_back_left_when_controller_hits_100__right.html?search=crossfader&page=1

The mapping of the crossfader should be ..
fake_crossfader & video_crossfader
and the Sound Setup to External Mixer

Have LINK enabled and AUTO disabled in the VIDEO mixer panel. If you still see the crossfader moving around without doing touching anything, then it should be a hardware issue.
