When I add certain command In the VirtualDJ v6 Denon DN-S1200 mapper or the DN-S3700 Is there a way also to map the LCD screen to show the command? example when I use the toggle option Is there a way to make the command show on the LCD screen for a few moment?

Yes, you can use show_text to temporarily display some custom text:

show_text : display the text provided for a limited time (default 3 seconds). '$myvar$' in the text are replaced by the value of myvar. '$?myvar$' are replaced by 'on' or 'off'. '|' goes to new line. syntax: 'show_text "Shift:|Value=$?shift$" 5000ms'

E.g:

loop & loop ? show_text "Loop: On" : show_text "Loop: Off"

Thank you for the answer. What I meant to say Is how to display the different loop length on the LCD?


Another good question while I am at it. Is there a way to program a knob to function as a scroll knob when either the effects or a loop are off, and then acts as a parameter when the loop or the effect action are on?

show_text can only currently show fixed text, but you could do something along the lines of the following:

E.g: For a loop out button (Where loop length can vary):

loop_out & loop 0.125 ? show_text "Loop: 1/8" : loop 0.5 ? show_text "Loop: 1/2" : loop 0.25 ? show_text "Loop: 1/4" : loop 1 ? show_text "Loop: 1" : loop 2 ? show_text "Loop: 2" : loop 4 ? show_text "Loop: 4" : loop 8 ? show_text "Loop: 8" : loop 16 ? show_text "Loop: 16" : loop ? show_text "Loop: On" : "Loop: Off"


For a button assigned to a fixed loop length, it's a bit easier:

loop 4 & loop ? show_text "Loop: 4" : show_text "Loop: Off"


To adjust effect parameter with a knob only while the effect is active:

effect active ? effect slider 1 : knobs_normal_function


(Replace knobs_normal_function with whatever it's currently mapped to.)
