Topic: custom BPM deck

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hi friends :)

Is there a way, via script, to just get the BPM of the deck playing (example Deck A) and double it on the Deck B.
For example: Deck A is playing (85bpm), on deck B i press a custom button with a script that places the BPM on that deck B, the double as Deck A (170bpm).

Thank you !

So you want to clone the same song with double BPM?

Hi Kradcliffe

No, different songs. Just make the BPM of Deck B the double of deck A :)

Not sure that's possible as the new track will have it's own BPM and you don't really want to overwrite it with an incorrect doubled BPM from the other deck.

Not writing bpm Keith, just manipulating pitch
thing is with this it's only good with pitch range 100%
action_deck 1 ? deck 2 sync & deck 2 pitch & param_multiply 2 & param_cast & deck 2 pitch : deck 1 sync & deck 1 pitch & param_multiply 2 & param_cast & deck 1 pitch


there's probably a neater way but I don't fancy figuring it out now

Setting pitch to 100% and then using match_bpm might be faster. (assuming both songs are in a similar bpm range)

Hi locodog

Your solution, actually almost gives me the result that I was trying to explain. The thing is that for example, if i have a 80 bpm the other deck gets a bpm around 170 which is more than the double...any idea why it happens? (it happens with other songs with other bpm too)
Even though thank you all for taking the time to answer i really appreciated that :)

Sorry locodog, I forgot to place pitch range at 100% now it works perfectly! :)
Thanks for the heads up
