Is there a way to keep pitchlock on while loading a new song? The only way seems to be turning off the pitch reset on load (not ideal) or creating a mapping key (not ideal). This was an AWESOME feature that is absent in version 8.1. Does anyone have an efficient workaround?

Anyone? I've seen this mentioned before, but no definitive answer...

on a custom button "pitch_lock"
seems to work and stay on through track loads via my controller
but i do not use pitch reset on load
anyways the 2 would contradict each other if both used don't you think?

Yes, but in VD7 you could enable the pitch_lock (the lock icon next to each pitch fader) AND it would stay on when you load a new track on either deck with the pitch reset on.

i guess i don't understand why you need pitch lock on .. if u want the pitch to rest to zero when the track loads ......

I'll try my best to explain:
Situation: I am doing a session of quick mixing, and I want to get in and out of the songs as quickly as possible.
*I have the pitchlock permanently on both decks (as in VDJ7)*
On DECK 1 a 132 bpm song is playing. On DECK 2, I load a 140 bpm track, hit SYNC (so that both decks are now 132 bpm), and simultaneously raise the bpm of BOTH decks to about 138 bpm to more closely match the track I am bringing in (DECK 2). This is all done WITHOUT extra keystrokes OR changing my focus from the deck I am cueing (DECK 2). After I have mixed into DECK 2 in at 138 bpm, I can then bump it up to 140 bpm, hit TAB to switch focus to DECK 1, and load in a 128 bpm song in DECK 1. I find my cues, and then slowly bring down the bpm of both tracks simultaneously while still cueing on DECK 1 before I bring it in at about 134 bpm.
So, while my focus is on the deck I am loading and cueing, I can still raise the "universal" bpm using keyboard mapping (I use these keys for quick access: < pitch -.001% and > pitch +.001%.)
I hope that makes sense why I would want this feature (that was already available in VDJ7). Let me know if you need further clarification!

You could map a custom button to this:
That custom button would then toggle pitch_lock on and off, but it would check 10 times per second and it's been switched off then it would switch it back on automatically. When you toggle it back off, the checking would then stop :)
toggle $lockpitch & var $lockpitch ? repeat_start 'lockpitch' 100ms & pitch_lock on : repeat_stop 'lockpitch'

Wow. That is a very roundabout method, but A+ problem-solving! Would I have to worry about any CPU issues for a code that is constantly running? Any other program functionality that would be compromised?

Shouldn't bother your CPU at all, and no other side effects that I can think of.

I have set resetPitchOnLoad to No and picthLock to YES and when i load new tracks, pitchLock reverts back to no too.
I am really not understanding why there is a "no" / "yes" option when it simply fails to work. If I set it to "yes" i expect it to stay that way.
Can this be fixed in an update?
