Been working on a skin for the Allen & Heath 4D controller.

What do you think so far ?



Still need to figure out how to make the loop length fader (the right one, on each deck) move... got the loop length working, but no movement on screen yet.

Thank You...

But still need to figure out how to get the loop length fader to move, before it's complete.
At the moment it works fine , meaning it is moving the looplength up and down like it should, but the fader does not move like the pitch on the screen.

if any one has a solution for this, here is the code that i use for the loop length fader :

<slider action="deck 1 loop ? param_smaller 12% ? loop 0.125 ? nothing : loop 0.125 : param_smaller 24% ? loop 0.25 ? nothing : loop 0.25 : param_smaller 36% ? loop 0.5 ? nothing : loop 0.5 : param_smaller 48% ? loop 1 ? nothing : loop 1 : param_smaller 60% ? loop 2 ? nothing : loop 2 : param_smaller 72% ? loop 4 ? nothing : loop 4 : param_smaller 84% ? loop 8 ? nothing : loop 8 : param_smaller 96% ? loop 16 ? nothing : loop 16 : loop 32 ? nothing : loop 32 : nothing" orientation="vertical" direction="up" >
<size width="24" height="117"/>
<pos x="11" y="131"/>
<fader>
<size width="24" height="9"/>
<pos x="180" y="860"/>
</fader>
</slider>

If anybody can tell me what to change to getting it to work right, please do...
(have tried without any succes)

<slider action="deck 1 loop_length ? param_smaller 12% ? loop 0.125 ? nothing : loop 0.125 : param_smaller 24% ? loop 0.25 ? nothing : loop 0.25 : param_smaller 36% ? loop 0.5 ? nothing : loop 0.5 : param_smaller 48% ? loop 1 ? nothing : loop 1 : param_smaller 60% ? loop 2 ? nothing : loop 2 : param_smaller 72% ? loop 4 ? nothing : loop 4 : param_smaller 84% ? loop 8 ? nothing : loop 8 : param_smaller 96% ? loop 16 ? nothing : loop 16 : loop 32 ? nothing : loop 32 : nothing" orientation="vertical" direction="up" >
<size width="24" height="117"/>
<pos x="11" y="131"/>
<fader>
<size width="24" height="9"/>
<pos x="180" y="860"/>
</fader>
</slider>

not upsolutely sure but looks like your missing the ..reletave="yes" after the orientation. look at this...
<slider pannel="loop_slot" action="deck 2 loop_length" orientation="round" relative="yes">
<size width="28" height="28"/>
<pos x="1086" y="228"/>
<clipmask x="52" y="2516"/>
<up x="631" y="4455"/>
<mousemask x="52" y="2516"/>
<fader>
<size width="28" height="28"/>
<pos x="12" y="2516"/>
<over x="640" y="1548"/>
<mask x="91" y="2516"/>
</fader>
</slider>
this its used when you want a rotary jog to control the loop lenth... in two skin i use there is two methods for this...
here's the other..
</slider>

<slider pannel="loop_lenght 2" action="deck 2 loop_length" orientation="round" relative="yes">
<size width="159" height="159"/>
<pos x="1038" y="585"/>
<down x="1038" y="585"/>
<clipmask x="423" y="910"/>
<mousemask x="423" y="910"/>
<fader move="circ" sensibility="5000">
<size width="159" height="159"/>
<pos x="933" y="2177"/>
<mask x="423" y="910"/>
</fader>
</slider>

let me know if it works..

Tried it out.... no effect at all.

Now could some of the real hardcore vdjscript guru's or skin devil's please look at this ??

Is it not possible to use a vertical fader to control the loop length ?? If it is please enlight me with the xml coder for it, because everything i've tried so far doesn't work !!!

Hey Dude,
You got to figure that out. The mappers are hard to set but you can leave em as is and make the difference when you set up your keyboard short cuts. Just an idea cool skin can't wait to download it. How can I?

Yeah.. really need some help in this one... can't get it to move on the screen, but it changes the loop length well, but no movement...
The skin is not complete before this function is working.

It doesnt work this way. Loop length needs an endless encoder, not a slider. You may use a slider or a simple knob in controllers to handle the loop length, but i dont think it si doable in a skin.

like i wrote....

The loop length works fine, but there is no movment of the slider on the screen...

I can move it with the mouse, but it doesn't move when i use the controller
The loop length works fine with the controller fader, it's just on the screen there is no movment, when i use controller

Thats because param_greater etc is for controllers not skins. So yes it moves correctly when using the mouse but it can not understand the param_values.

What should i use instead ??

How sould the code for a loop length fader look like ?

The code:

? param_smaller 12% ? loop 0.125 ? nothing : loop 0.125 : param_smaller 24% ? loop 0.25 ? nothing : loop 0.25 : param_smaller 36% ? loop 0.5 ? nothing : loop 0.5 : param_smaller 48% ? loop 1 ? nothing : loop 1 : param_smaller 60% ? loop 2 ? nothing : loop 2 : param_smaller 72% ? loop 4 ? nothing : loop 4 : param_smaller 84% ? loop 8 ? nothing : loop 8 : param_smaller 96% ? loop 16 ? nothing : loop 16 : loop 32 ? nothing : loop 32 : nothing"

Is taken from my mapper that i use with A&H 4d, because it work with the controller, but what code should i use to make the fader move on the screen ??

still nobody that can help me out on this one

Perhaps I could help you, but you will need VirtualDj Full PRO in order to be able to achieve what you want.
And that's because I could include your need in a General Purpose plug-in (take a look on my Ghost OSD skin to understand what I mean) but you'll have to have a license in order to be able to download and use it.

Hi Djpp,

this is a great skin and the first for Xone 4d.
How can i get it.
 

Posted Sat 08 Oct 11 @ 4:24 pm
I´ve just recently got my Xone4d...and I felt really confused since I found out that this top controller isn´t natively supported by VDJ :((( So, it would be very cool if you can help me with your skin to improve this badest-VDJ-experience-situation ;)

So, can you please post it to me??

You should always check that a controller that you intend to purchase is natively supported before purchasing:

http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/Is%20MIDI%20controller%20NAME%20supported%20by%20VirtualDJ.html

However, there are user-made mappers available for the Xone:4D, which may help you:

http://www.virtualdj.com/addons/controllers.html?category=best&order=default&search=xone

NOTE: The above skin will not make any difference to the functionality of the Xone:DX. The skin has no effect on controllers and vice-versa. You can use any skin of your own choice. Based on the fact that this topic is over 2 years old, the user has probably never finished the skin and/or published it.
