Topic: Keyboard shortcuts to set and adjust first beat / bpm editor
Hi guys,

I'm looking for a way to move the first beat marker in the grid, but I want to just move it by small increments. What I'm trying to achieve is the open the editor, zoom in on the first beat and just use two keys (left and right, for example) to slightly move the first beat so I can get it set accurately without having to use the mousepad on my laptop.

I've mapped a key to set the first beat to the current play position, but can I set the others to move the marker?

Anyone?
 
I would like this as well, but I don't think the BPM editor has any keyboard shortcuts.

I really like the way beat grid editing works in Serato. You hit ALT-SPACE, and then the main waveform widget enters grid editing mode. In that mode you can set/delete markers, and adjust/slip the grid -- all from the keyboard and "live" while the track is playing! When you're done editing you hit ENTER and the updated grid is saved. If you messed up you can hit ESC, and you leave editing mode with no changes done.

This works really well, and is very efficient for difficult tracks. It would be cool if VDJ could up the BPM editor UX by doing something similar. :-)

You can indeed not use mapped keyboard shortcuts from within the bpm editor, but you can from a midi controller.
You could also simply zoom in the scratch wave, then you probably don't need to open the bpm editor.
 
How will the script look like if I also have another button, while pressed, open the Scratch wave window, max zoomed and when released return to previous window?
 
Any help?
 
zoom 0.1 while_pressed
 
That part i understand but what is the script to open the Scratch window if I have audio or video window open in the built in skin "pro" and when released the button, return to the previous view?
 
In the default pro skin the wave is always visible at the top, so it should always be visible.
 
I mean the scratch view window in the middle
 
I want this tab to open when I press a button to adjust the cbg
 
skin_panel 'scratchmixer' on
 
Thanks! I have tryed a lot of verbs but didnt found the right one.
 
 
Wow! I have missed the picker. Now it will be very easy. Thanks!!!!
