Topic: How can Pitch Slider Direction Logic be reversed?

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Is there a way to increase the pitch by pushing the pitch slider upward instead of downward?

Thanks

Hi PJ,

How do you get to "Param, etc."

I have version 6 on my Vista DT and XP LT.
 
Do you mean change the direction on the skin? or controller?
 
Skin. I am trying to work only from the Laptop. Of course the signal goes to my mixer.
 
Which skin are you using?
 
Whichever skin you are using, you need to go into the folder where the skin xml file is....

open the xml file up in a text editor >>> scroll down until you see something along the lines of.....

Pitch Deck A
-------------------------------------------------------------------
<slider action="deck 1 pitch" orientation="vertical" direction="down" dblclick="deck 1 pitch 100%" rightclick="temporary" >

then you need to change the .... direction = "down" ... to .... direction = "up"

then scroll down to do the same for

Pitch Deck B
-------------------------------------------------------------------

if you have any problems, just let me know

The Version 6 Skin Dropdown gives only Skin Options. I see no way to alter skin functions there.
 
You can't edit skin functions from within VDJ - you have to open the actual skin XML file in a text editor and change it.
 
You have gotten the answer you need, but I just want to comment on your topic title - - "Topic: How can Pitch Slider Direction Logic be reversed?"

And the logic is not reversed ... you are reversing the logic to accomodate what you see. You see things a up is greater and down is less, hence the reason you think logic is backwards ...

The pitch control is based around the clockwise rotation of the turntable. Pushing up or towards the back of the turntable in the opposite direction of the spinning platter, so you would be going against the direction of spin (visually) so therefore slowing down the speed. To pull forward or towards the front of the turntable you would be going in the same direction of the platter and therefore increasing it's speed.

Thanks but this is sort of Greek to me.

What is the actual skin XML?

What is a text editor?
 
Go into your skins folder, find the skin you want to change and unzip it.

You will be presented with a BMP and an XML file. Open the XML file in something like Notepad, make the changes, then save.

Open VirtualDJ and select the skin you just edited.
