Slicer mode in VDJ

Slicer mode in VDJ
Posted on: 16.05.2013 by Tonisha Alders
Does anyone know how to get Slicer mode working correctly in VDJ? I tried but it keeps losing it's slip position. I am beginning to believe it's a bug in VDJ.

loop_roll 0.25 while_pressed

I made a pretty cool mapping that I posted on the VDJ Forum, click the GIF below


If you actually mean a slicer it could be possible with some complex mapping using the following verbs

get beat_num # 16 ?
loop_move +/-#
goto +/-#

Tried that before (actually I had someone else write the script). But we all have the same issue. When using the above for slicing it does not slip back to the start beat. So if pad 1 was beat 1 of a 8 beat bar for instance and you hit pad 1 at beat 5 it does not go back to beat 1 it messes up and goes to beat 2 instead. The slip or slip_mode seems to be bugged.

I tried 2 variations.

The Pioneer DDJ-SX mapper in VDJ

get beat_num 1 8 ? slip while_pressed & loop while_pressed : get beat_num 2 8 ? slip while_pressed & goto -1 & loop while_pressed : get beat_num 3 8 ? slip while_pressed & goto -2 & loop while_pressed : get beat_num 4 8 ? slip while_pressed & goto -3 & loop while_pressed : get beat_num 5 8 ? slip while_pressed & goto -4 & loop while_pressed : get beat_num 6 8 ? slip while_pressed & goto -5 & loop while_pressed : get beat_num 7 8 ? slip while_pressed & goto -6 & loop while_pressed : get beat_num 8 8 ? slip while_pressed & goto -7 & loop while_pressed : nothing

and one another person tried to get working.

get beat_num # 16 ?
loop_move +/-#
goto +/-#

The latter only works on pads 1-4 at present but has the same issue. It's not slipping in VDJ to the correct beat when you let go and then hit another pad (or even the same pad).
