Topic: idj3 custom mapping

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

ok i just bought the idj3 because my old controller.. well it pretty much sucked.. i have to say im happy with this new controller and all its features but i am having trouble with 2 commands. First off, i wanted to changed the mute all button so it will mute all the frequencies only while pressed. this is the command i put into the mapper: "eq_kill_high while_pressed & eq_kill_mid while_pressed & eq_kill_low while_pressed"
i thought this would be simple enough to get the control to work.. but i seem to only get the results i want for the high end.. the low and mid still mute even when im not holding the button and still require a second button press.. i need to know if there is another command so i can mute all the high mid and low only when i hold the button. i also wanted to know if there is another way to invert the crossfader on the controller.. i tried the simple "crossfader_hamster" but nothin happens.. if anyone can help me out, please help out a fellow dj

So essentially you're trying to mute the song playing? Or just one frequency at a time? For a single frequency you could try: holding ? eq_kill_low for example. Check out the VDJScript examples page for more script details and tricks.
 
It looks as though that should work, however the script 'holding ? eq_kill_low' wont work as you described, It would only work after you held then released the button for half a second. All you need to string the commands together is '&' like you have done... I would make sure you have not made a spelling error first, failing that you could maybe just use 'deck # volume slider 0% while_pressed' that would probably mute it

For hamster use 'param_invert' before whatever is written... You could also use a toggle shift for the switch...

for the shift button
toggle 'hamster'

for the crossfader
param_equal 'hamster' 1 ? param_invert crossfader : crossfader
 
yea im tryin to mute the track but i havent figured out how to map it yet.. but only mute while the button is held..
 
deck # volume slider 0% while_pressed

it was in there LOL
 
yea i know.. i tried it but it said there was an error with 0% while_pressed
 
alright figured it out... I think volume_slider must only be for midi controllers, so use

deck 1 level 0% while_pressed
