Topic: VDJ Script & setup help for Numark N4

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I recently picked up the N4 and have been using it mostly with Serato Intro because I initially had setup issues with VDJ. Now that I've got those sorted out, i'm going to try the 20 day trial of VDJ Pro.

Now onto the questions:

1. What settings would I use to add timecodes to the setup?

2. I want to modify the HOT CUE section. I currently have to hold SHIFT to use the hot cues. I would like HOT CUE to be the default setting hold SHIFT to delete. If possible can someone help me with that?

3. On Serato Intro there is an "INSTANT DOUBLES" action. Can I do the same thing with VDJ Pro?

Thanks for your help.

not sure if this will work the way you hope, but I would switch around the shifted and unshifted action

from this
var "$shift" ? var "$delcue" ? delete_cue 3 & toggle "$delcue" : hot_cue 3 : get decks 2 ? deck 2 sampler play_stop : sampler 2 play_stop

to this
var "$shift" ? get decks 2 ? deck 2 sampler play_stop : sampler 2 play_stop : var "$delcue" ? delete_cue 3 & toggle "$delcue" : hot_cue 3

you can make instant doubles by navigating to the scratch pannel on most skins and selecting "clone", but you could also map it to anything eg. "deck 1 clone_deck 2" this will copy the song from deck 1 onto deck 2.

to use timecode you need to plug your turntables or cd player with a suitable timecode record or cd into the N4, then go to the sound config screen and select timecodes as inputs, there is an indepth setup guide in the audio config manual
 
Hi, I wanted to do what you ask and thanks by the help of synthet1c I could understand it, and here is all the changes I made.

CUE1_FX

From this:
var "$shift" ? var "$delcue" ? delete_cue 1 : hot_cue 1 : page "effects,browser"
to this:
var "$shift" ? page "effects,browser" : var "$delcue" ? delete_cue 1 : hot_cue 1

CUE2_SAMP1

From this:
var "$shift" ? var "$delcue" ? delete_cue 2 : hot_cue 2 : get decks 2 ? deck 1 sampler play_stop : sampler 1 play_stop
to this:
var "$shift" ? get decks 2 ? deck 1 sampler play_stop : sampler 1 play_stop : var "$delcue" ? delete_cue 2 : hot_cue 2

CUE3_SAMP2

from this:
var "$shift" ? var "$delcue" ? delete_cue 3 & toggle "$delcue" : hot_cue 3 : get decks 2 ? deck 2 sampler play_stop : sampler 2 play_stop
to this:
var "$shift" ? get decks 2 ? deck 2 sampler play_stop : sampler 2 play_stop : var "$delcue" ? delete_cue 3 & toggle "$delcue" : hot_cue 3

CUE2_SAMP3

from this:
var "$shift" ? var "$delcue" ? delete_cue 2 : hot_cue 2 : sampler 3 play_stop
to this:
var "$shift" ? sampler 3 play_stop : var "$delcue" ? delete_cue 2 : hot_cue 2

CUE3_SAMP4

From this:
var "$shift" ? var "$delcue" ? delete_cue 3 : hot_cue 3 : sampler 4 play_stop
to this:
var "$shift" ? sampler 4 play_stop : var "$delcue" ? delete_cue 3 : hot_cue 3

NOTE: But to delete a Cue you must keep pressing "Shift+Delete+Cue#" once you do that, you must press "Shift+Delete" again, otherwise if you will keep deleting any Cue# you press. Test it your house, you don't want to have any mistake when you play in public or recording.
