Topic: Mapping SHIFT button with Hot Cue Points onto IDJ3

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hi! I just bought an IDJ3 (started mixing a few weeks ago) and allthough its a siple controller I am happy with it. The only thing that I am missing is the presence of hot-cue buttons...

So I have been trying to replace the Mute buttons for the low mid and high with set_hotcue 1, set_hotcue 2 and set_hotcue 3. The problem is that I also need buttons for goto_hotcue 1, 2 and 3 so I figured I would use the Mute All button as a modifier to change the set_hotcue 1, 2 and 3 buttons to goto_hotcue 1, 2 and 3. Is this possible? If so what do input do i need?

Thanks in advance!

you need to use the full version of vdj pro or activate the trial to map controllers

if you want the shift button to set the cues, otherwise go to the cue use this

mute all button
set 'shift' while_pressed

mute all button led
var 'shift' ? blink 400ms : off

eq kills buttons
var 'shift' ? set_cue 1 : goto_cue 1

eq kills buttons leds
hot_cue 1 ? on : off

just change the number "1" to the relevant cue number.

also you should be aware that hot_cue already sets a cue if none exists, and will jump to and play from the cue point if one is set. Goto_cue, will only set the song position at the cue point, so it won't play if the track is stopped of paused.
 
Thanks alot for the help! It worked! :D Im guessing I can set the shift button to change the knobs to effect/key modifiers? :)
