Hey vdj, this is my first post on the board even thought ive been lurking for a few months now. For xmas i finally got my first controller (Hercules RMX). I love it and i'm already playing with mapping. I saw the ad's for the novation dicer and instantly wanted it even though my skills arent at that level yet. So i figured I would try my attempts at incorporating the novation dicer functions into the RMX.

Warning: The scratch feature was disabled and replaced with the shift button

As if today. I successfully mapped the loop roll functions into the RMX while still maintaining the default effects buttions via shift button. My question to you guys is is their a way to make the same shift button have 2 modes. if i can get a second shift fuction then i can map the dicer cuepoint feature in. will also need the mapping code in order to due so.

Nice work man!! Wish I could give you an answer but I'm no good with that mapper stuff. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind posting your script for that "Loop Roll"?? I'm sure someone will chime and have an answer for you though, They always do..........

Good luck and Thanks for your time
Huey

Short part of Wiki ....


Make buttons perform different functions depending on what mode is selected:

First map a button to cycle through the modes, e.g: For 4 different modes Normal, Effects, Video and Sampler:

cycle 'mode' 4 & var_equal 'mode' 1 ? show_text "Effects|Mode" : var_equal 'mode' 2 ? show_text "Video|Mode" : var_equal 'mode' 3 ? show_text "Sampler|Mode" : show_text "Normal|Mode"

If your controller does not have text displays, then map the button to:

cycle 'mode' 4

And map the LED of the button (BUTTONNAME_LED) to indicate the mode:

var_equal 'mode' 1 ? on : var_equal 'mode' 2 ? on blink : var_equal 'mode' 3 ? on blinkfast : off

The variable 'mode' now holds the mode number, which you can then use in the mapping for each button that will act differently depending on the mode, e.g: You could map a button as follows:

var_equal 'mode' 1 ? effect 'Flanger' active : var_equal 'mode' 2 ? video_fx_select 'Negative' & video_fx : var_equal 'mode' 3 ? sampler 1 play_stop : hot_cue 1

The button will act as follows:

Normal: Hot cue #1
Effects: Turns flanger on/off
Video: Turns the video effect 'Negative' on/off
Sampler: Plays sample #1

Well thanks Bob I've posted in that thread was thinking he has something different, better perhaps..................Dyce590 is that where you got your loop roll script from??

Thanks for the time

Does that mapping from the wiki work with the RMX ? if so please describe the RMX's reaction. and how you know what 'mode' you are in if you are using the RMX/STEEl skin ?

Also,that is not the mapping i am using. Unfortunately I am on my other laptop at the moment but later on when I switch over i will post my mapping

You can do this with any controller. Just choose a button to be your multi SHOFT, assign it asd above. The LED will show you in what mode you are (Off, blink, blink fast, on)

Dj dad i will play around with it later

As for my mapping :

Reassign button / code

scratch / set '$shift' 1 while_pressed

button 1 / var '$shift' ? loop .0625 : djc_button_1

button 2 / var '$shift' ? loop .125 : djc_button_2

button 3 / var '$shift' ? loop .25 : djc_button_3

button 4 / var '$shift' ? loop .5 : djc_button_4

button 5 / var '$shift' ? loop 1 : djc_button_5

button 6 / var '$shift' ? loop 8 : djc_button_6

This isnt much of a 'loop roll' but each button has the same function as if you were on a dicer.
For button 6 you can assign however long you want it to be, the novation dicer only has 5 buttons and i like mixing my songs in 8 beat loops.
