    Default MPD32 with Virtual DJ 7 noob question.

    I cant seem to figure out how to map both decks. I was using VDJ 5 and there is a option to assign maps for deck 1 and deck 2.

    I cant find anything similar to this in VDJ 7 and thus can only map deck 1.
    Any and all help would be great.

    Thanks

    if you are using the simple midi wrapper you can just designate the deck in front of any verb you use eg... for a two deck controller

    deck left hot_cue 1

    deck right effect "beatgrid" active while_pressed

    or if you want to control 4 or more decks individually

    deck 1 loop

    deck 2 goto +4

    deck 3 stop

    deck 4 play_pause

    etc...

    Synthet1c,
    Thanks for your time berh!

    So could you explain a little more, are these codes that I need to input manually in the key learn or should these already be in Vdj?

    Again I'm new at this mapping thing and really appreciate the help.

    this is a list of all the verbs you can use
    http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/VDJscript_verbs.html

    to map them just pick what you want eg "play_pause", then designate the action to a particular deck eg "deck 3 play_pause" this should be typed in the action box after pressing key learn so the correct button/knob/slider is highlighted.

    You can also link commands together with "&" eg. "deck 2 hot_cue 4 & deck 2 loop 8"

    or you can use conditional variables that will perform an action if the thing you are querying is true or false. It is set out like this

    query ? action if true : action if false

    eg
    deck 1 play ? deck 1 stop : deck 1 hot_cue 1

    what that will do is if deck 1 is playing the track will stop when you press the button, but if the track isn't playing it will hot cue, its not a great function but just an example of how you can use it, but when you use multiple variables magic can happen

    Many Thanks again!

    So my tech savy friend is coming over tomorrow to try and help me.

    In the mean time could you give me an example how it looks to map deck 1 and deck 2 volume levels?

    Again thanks for your time.
