Could this be expected as a firmware update any time in future?

| Jonathan Chiuchiolo 04.09.2013 | that will work fine. If you want to do something more indepth let me know. |
| Lucinda Keill 04.09.2013 |
knobs for effects will be mapped as
var 'FXSel' 1 ? effect 'backspin' slider 1 : effect 'dsp_distorter' slider 1 var 'FXSel' 1 ? effect 'brake' slider 1 : effect 'flanger' slider 1 var 'FXSel' 1 ? effect 'flangedLoopOut' slider 1 : effect 'dsp_reverb' slider 1 filter <map value="KNB_FX1" action="filter" /> <map value="KNB_FX2" action="effect slider 1" /> <map value="KNB_FX3" action="effect slider 2" /> <map value="KNB_FX4" action="effect select" /> So knob 1 is a dedicated filter knob, knobs 2 and 3 control the parameters of any of the effects being engaged and knob 4 is effect select so I can use more than 6 effects if I need to. Let me know what you believe. |

| Mohammad Bouquin 04.09.2013 | It's in the firmware. 0 = orange, 1 = blue, 2 = blinking orange/blue. It would have to be a firmware change. |
| Jonathan Chiuchiolo 04.09.2013 | You would have to ask Nem0nic if it's possible, it might be set in the firmware. If it's just a case of sending a midi message it would be possible in VDJ as you can either define a pre determined color in the definition file, or set the color dynamically with the mapping with "set constant 0.5" and a little tweak of the definition file. Although from memory I believe the led colors are set in the firmware not in the software, and it would be unlikely that you could fire both LED's at the same time to make a third color. Most manufactures don't include that sort of functionality. |
| Kiyoko Wellisch 04.09.2013 | How come you can't control all the LEDs? |
| Mohammad Bouquin 04.09.2013 | What I'd really love, is having full control of the LEDs, so I could have: Off, orange, blue and both (Pink?). I'm believeing mainly for the hotcue buttons on the PL-1, to make it possible to see the type of hotcue. For now I'll have to live with making the loop hotcues blink . |
| Jonathan Chiuchiolo 04.09.2013 | No worries mate |
| Lucinda Keill 04.09.2013 | Thanks sooo much, you're the man!!! I'm gonna try all this in the morning and report back, thank you again!!!! |
| Jonathan Chiuchiolo 04.09.2013 | You would need to add the fx select buttons as they aren't included in the mapping file. To do that you need to open the mapping editor of the config menu. from there press action learn then hit the 1st fx assign on the controller. paste the following in the action box set 'FXSel' 0 repeat for the 2nd button. and map the following set 'FXSel' 1 the LED's for the fx select buttons will be var 'FXSel' 0 ? on : off and for the second fx select button var 'FXSel' 1 ? on : off then for the effect buttons you need to add the shift to them LEDS for the effects will be mapped as var 'FXSel' 1 ? effect 'backspin' active on ? on : off : effect 'dsp_distorter' active on ? on : off var 'FXSel' 1 ? effect 'brake' active on ? on : off : effect 'flanger' active on ? on : off var 'FXSel' 1 ? effect 'flangedLoopOut' active on ? on : off : effect 'dsp_reverb' active on ? on : off filter 50% ? off : blink 333ms buttons for effects will be mapped as var 'FXSel' 1 ? effect 'backspin' active : effect 'dsp_distorter' active var 'FXSel' 1 ? effect 'brake' active : effect 'flanger' active var 'FXSel' 1 ? effect 'flangedLoopOut' active : effect 'dsp_reverb' active filter 50% knobs for effects will be mapped as var 'FXSel' 1 ? effect 'backspin' slider 1 : effect 'dsp_distorter' slider 1 var 'FXSel' 1 ? effect 'brake' slider 1 : effect 'flanger' slider 1 var 'FXSel' 1 ? effect 'flangedLoopOut' slider 1 : effect 'dsp_reverb' slider 1 filter Also the way it's mapped is when shifted you will access; backspin, brake and flanged loopout. if not shifted it will access; distorter, flanger & reverb., If you want it the other way around just change the effect name's around. By the way, you can change the effects name's to anything you prefer from the list of available effects or change the name's to numbers to access the particular slot. This is better if you want to be able to select your own effects in each slot, but you would need a skin that show's three or four effect slots. If you want something different like using slots instead, start a new thread and I'll help you get it sorted. EDIT --------------------------- I didn't realize that there was 4 absolute knobs in the effect section, I changed the mapping to have the filter on the fourth knob |
| Lucinda Keill 04.09.2013 | I got to be honest I've been utilizing the fx part of the map this last week and i'm really starting to like it other than the funky script and the problem with the leds, I'd like to stick with using fx assign as a shift for fx 1,2,3. Either way I appreciate your input. Oh also how exactly would I script the keylock led, I was messing around with the beatgrid script before I made this post but without any luck. Thanks again!!! |
| Jonathan Chiuchiolo 04.09.2013 | there is a shift in that mapping that has been called 'delCue' You could use that or make another button another shift, what do you want to do? A negative about using the current 'delCue' shift is that you could accidentally delete your cues which isn't a great option. It may be okay to use the fx assign buttons for the purpose of changing the effect. Up to you... |
| Lucinda Keill 03.09.2013 | Thanks synthet1c, This part of the map was contributed by some one else, I didn't care that it looked weird because it worked, it's set up so that fx assign is like a shift button for fx 1,2,3.

| Jonathan Chiuchiolo 03.09.2013 | where you have the condition, you are not querying anything, The way VDJScript works is like this query ? action if true : action if false for the query you need to ask something, that could be whether the effect is active, or if you are shifted or really anything. Also the simplest way to make any modifications to your mapping is through the config menu, not in the XML file, as the mapping editor will convert special characters of xml for you. The simplest thing you could do without having to know how it was mapped is query if the effects are active eg. effect 'backspin' active on ? on : effect 'dsp_distorter' active on ? on : off effect 'brake' active on ? on : effect 'flanger' active on ? on : off effect 'flangedLoopOut' active on ? on : effect 'dsp_reverb' active on ? on : off effect active on ? blink 333ms : off I also made LED four blink three times a second if any effect is active just to show you LED's can easily be made to blink at set intervals. And to make the keylock LED blink to be beatgrid, you would use 'get beatgrid'. If you want the LED to blink on the bass drum you would use 'sync' for the LED. |
| Lucinda Keill 03.09.2013 | Hey guys, lookin for a little VDJ script help. I tweaked a few maps for the Studio 4a and Im pretty much settled on my latest one however i'm having a couple issues with mapping the leds correctly so I can get the proper feedback as to which functions I have activated and which ones I don't. Thanks in advance for any assistance and here is my script that I would need the corresponding led script for. <map value="LED_FX1" action="? effect "backspin" active : effect "dsp_Distorter" active" /> <map value="LED_FX2" action="? effect "brake" active : effect "flanger" active" /> <map value="LED_FX3" action="? effect "FlangedLoopOut" active : effect "dsp_Reverb" active" /> <map value="LED_FX4" action="effect active ? on : off" /> Now currently this suits me very well the only problem is that when I engage any one of the 4 FX it turns all 4 FX buttons blue where I would very much like it to only turn the effect's button i'm using to change color. Also as a side project I'm trying to get the "keylock" button to blink to the music the same way the sync button does. Thanks again! |

So first problem, Behringers Site seems to be broken and i cant download the ableton scripts or the Traktor tsi.s and it has been broken everytime i have checked in the last week. So can anyone tell me where else i can download those files from. Next thing really shows my noobness im afraid and i embarrassed for asking, I have the MM-1 being recognised in deckadance and all the knobs and faders seem to work as they should but how do i load a song onto the decks without using the dreaded mouse or do i need to buy the PL-1 to do that also although LC-1 is in deckadance it doesnt seem to be mapped to anything err is that right ? if so how do i set up my own mapping? I realise that there may not be quick answers to some of my questions so I would appreciate being pointed in the right direction. Thanks for you patience Laters Ray |

| Kimberly Schoeff 28.08.2013 | Hi guys, I have just received my Behringer CMD Studio 4a, but somehow it is not recognized by my computer. The download of the Behringer ASIO driver http://www.behringer.com/assets/CMD_...SIO_Driver.zip somehow has an error on my computer and I can't download it Am I the only one with that issue? If yes, where else can I download it? Thanks in advance. |

Pressing any row of buttons generates a 5th note. As long as all buttons are held down, the 5th note will be generated. Pressing any column of buttons gets the same behavior. All columns and rows get a different 5th note - making 8 possible "extra" buttons. |
| Kellie Myrum 23.08.2013 | Pretty good review on CMD modular by DJWORKS: http://djworx.com/review-behringer-c...j-controllers/ Though still not a word or vid from anybody about DC-1 supercombo firmware. |
