Reloop Terminal Mix 4 + VDJ. Help needed ! Posted on: 27.05.2012 by Velia Gant hey guys, so i know sod all about mapping and im getting confused by the way the channels are set out 3124 rather than 1234 and i cant work out how to change the effects the fx knobs/button affect, would someone mind telling me all the key's in the mapper i need to change for this and the script in which i need to put in each individual one?heres two pictures from the mapper at the points that i believe the things i need to change are to help you see what im looking at: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/535/problem2a.png/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/196/problem1r.png/ thank you!!! | |

I was working on the pioneer scene effects before starting my skin and made some really cool combos, just bidding on a novation nocturn so I can map them out on a dedicated controller, that can take the place of my efx1000 if I get it |

| Jonathan Chiuchiolo 27.05.2012 | for the effects that should be fine, what it is doing is only operating on the effect loaded in the particular slot effect 1 active this means effect slot 1 toggle on/off, it doesn't matter what effect is loaded as vdj always substitutes the effect name for the slot number when you script like that, the benifit is that you can change the loaded effect easily on the skin or mapping "effect 1 select +1" or "effect 1 select -1" to buttons. The other method you can use is to name a specific effect to a knob or a button which doesn't matter if the effect is in a slot or not with "effect 'effect_name' slider 1" eg "effect 'flanjet' slider 1" "effect 'crusher' active" "effect 'beatmasher_single' button 2" In regard to changing the order of the controller you can use the following formula on all the controls of the mixer action_deck 3 ? control for deck 1 : action_deck 1 ? control for deck 2 : action_deck 2 ? control for deck 3 : action_deck 4 ? control for deck 4 eg for the low eq action_deck 3 ? deck 1 eq_low : action_deck 1 ? deck 2 eq_low : action_deck 2 ? deck 3 eq_low : action_deck 4 ? deck 4 eq_low all the controls you should need are eq_high eq_mid eq_low volume gain crossfader_assign 'left' crossfader_assign 'right' crossfader_assign 'thru' load select pfl the fastest way to do everything is in a text editor using 'find and rename' then paste it in the action box in the mapper, although this is fairly short so you can probably manually edit it just as easily |
