Topic: Split Rhythm Wave

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

ClayDJPRO InfinityMember since 2011
I am using the basic 2 player VDJskin 7.0.3.
As a standard, the blue/red rhythm waves for both players overlay each other.

I would like to split the two rhythm waves (not including the computer beat grids), and have the player 1 blue wave on the top half of the rhythm window, and player 2 red waved on the bottom half of the window.
The red/blue computer beat grids should remain at their current location (overlaying each other in the bottom of the window).

Could someone please show me with the script that will do this?

Thanks in advance,
Clay

here you go but before going ahead suggest you to make a back up of the skin file u'r editing
i still remember the days of hard work getting screwed in just one simple mistake
just open xml file in note pad & find this part

<rhythm pannel="Rhythm">
<size width="940" height="45"/>
<pos x="40" y="35"/>
*** BLUE ***
<chan1_active1 x="40" y="1430"/>
<chan1_active2 x="40" y="1900"/>
*** RED ***
<chan2_active1 x="40" y="2036"/>
<chan2_active2 x="40" y="930"/>
*** OVERLAY ***
<both_active1 x="40" y="1970"/>
<both_active2 x="40" y="2105"/>

<grid1 width="5" mainwidth="11">
<size width="950" height="5"/>
<pos x="40" y="85"/>
<active1 x="40" y="1430"/>
<active2 x="40" y="1900"/>
</grid1>
---- GRID ------
<grid2 width="5" mainwidth="11">
<size width="950" height="5"/>
<pos x="40" y="90"></pos>
<active1 x="40" y="2036"/>
<active2 x="40" y="930"/>
</grid2>
---- CUE MARKERS ------
<cue1>
<size width="940" height="50"/>
<pos x="40" y="26"/>
<down x="40" y="1430"/>
<mask x="602" y="2195" width="13" height="14"/>
<text dx="9" dy="0" font="LCD" size="12" color="#B0E0FF"/>
</cue1>
<cue2>
<size width="940" height="50"/>
<pos x="40" y="26"/>
<down x="40" y="2106"/>

<text dx="9" dy="0" font="LCD" size="12" color="#FF6868"/>
</cue2>
</rhythm>

and then replace the whole thing with the below part
whole thing if you miss one single letter then u'll see invalid skin line error
it's difficult to find what went wrong

<rhythm pannel="Rhythm">
<size width="940" height="34"/>

<both_active1 x="40" y="1430"/>
<both_active2 x="40" y="1430"/>

<grid1 width="5" mainwidth="11">
<size width="950" height="2"/>
<pos x="40" y="93"/>
<active1 x="40" y="1430"/>
<active2 x="40" y="1430"/>
</grid1>

<cue1>
<size width="940" height="50"/>
<pos x="40" y="26"/>
<down x="40" y="1430"/>
<mask x="602" y="2195" width="13" height="14"/>
<text dx="9" dy="0" font="LCD" size="12" color="#B0E0FF"/>
</cue1>
</rhythm>

<rhythm pannel="Rhythm">
<size width="940" height="34"/>
<pos x="40" y="59"/>
<chan1_active1 x="40" y="25"/>
<chan1_active2 x="40" y="25"/>
<chan2_active1 x="40" y="930"/>
<chan2_active2 x="40" y="930"/>
<both_active1 x="40" y="930"/>
<both_active2 x="40" y="930"/>

<grid2 width="5" mainwidth="11">
<size width="950" height="2"/>
<pos x="40" y="96"></pos>
<active1 x="40" y="930"/>
<active2 x="40" y="930"/>
</grid2>

<cue2>
<size width="940" height="50"/>
<pos x="40" y="60"/>
<down x="40" y="2106"/>
<mask x="602" y="2195" width="13" height="14"/>
<text dx="9" dy="0" font="LCD" size="12" color="#FF6868"/>
</cue2>
</rhythm>

this is a result of tested & it's working fine with my skin
hope you like it & it's what you wanted

play around the skin it's fun making it "remember to make a backup of the file"
enjoy peace & out

DJ Pradeep, Thanks so much for your help!
The waveform XML works on my machine almost perfectly except;

The red waveform displays, but the wave peaks (top half of red wave), and the red cue markers are flashing between bright red and dim red.
The blue Computer Beat Grid (CBG) at the bottom is also flashing in time with the red waveform peaks.

The red waveform works great if it is the only one displayed, but once I load the blue waveform, the red waveform starts flashing.
The blue waveform is always stable and works great.

I have a 1024x768 resolution.

You or anyone else have any ideas on what’s wrong?

Thanks again,
Clay
