Slicer mode in VDJ

[deadman]

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 think it's a bug in VDJ.

there is no native slicer mode in VDJ. if you mean the loop roll function that is accessed with

loop_roll #

eg.
loop_roll 1 while_pressed
loop_roll 0.75 while_pressed
loop_roll 0.5 while_pressed
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).

that was me... remember what I asked you not to do?

Yup!
