Hi,
I'm trying to make use of my Hercules DJ Console (Mk. 1 <- yes I know, old school :-) ) in an attempt to control 4 decks in Virtual DJ.
I have setup the PFL script from the VDJScript example: http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/Control%204%20decks%20with%20a%202%20deck%20controller.html
select ? device_side 'left' ? deck 1 leftdeck ? on & deck 3 leftdeck & deck 3 select : on & deck 1 leftdeck & deck 1 select : deck 2 rightdeck ? on & deck 4 rightdeck & deck 4 select : on & deck 2 rightdeck & deck 2 select : select
But unfortunately the controller does not move to the selected deck, all controls stay with the original deck. For example, (in Pro mode) if I click the PFL button on the left side of the controller it does move C -> A in the left active deck and change the top waveform to C along with the headphone audio changed to C. But all the controls on the left side (jogwheel, filters, play/pause etc) are still with deck A, not C.
I would like to change the control to the active deck, either with separate DJ Console button mapped to it or when the PFL is selected. I did add "assign_controller" to the example script after each select, but this did not work as expected, with the controller not assigning correctly and controlling left/right sides incorrectly.
select ? device_side 'left' ? deck 1 leftdeck ? on & deck 3 leftdeck & deck 3 select & deck 3 assign_controller : on & deck 1 leftdeck & deck 1 select & deck 1 assign_controller : deck 2 rightdeck ? on & deck 4 rightdeck & deck 4 select & deck 4 assign_controller : on & deck 2 rightdeck & deck 2 select & deck 2 assign_controller : select
Not sure if the issue is with my "old" controller and the "select" verb should then mean the controller should take control of the specific deck, or if there's another verb/command that can be used to make the controller control the active deck?
My main aim is to be able to control all 4 decks with a 2 deck controller, moving all left/right controls of the DJ controller to the active/selected deck. So I can be playing an active track in Deck 1 (Deck A), put it into a loop and then swap the active track in Deck 1 with Deck 3 (Deck C) to then control this track with the controller, leaving Deck A looping and swapping between them with the PFL button when I need to take control of the relevant track.
Would appreciate any help and advise on this :-)
Thanks,
DV

Which decks are currently selected in the Controller options?
For the first script that changes leftdeck/rightdeck to work, in controller options you should have the dj console assigned to left, right and not to 1, 2

WOW, as simple as that!
I changed the controller settings to Left/Right, instead of the default (Automatic 1,2) and it's working perfect :-)
