Tópico: Upfaders, what to do with them??

Este tópico es antiguo y puede contener información incorrecta para la nueva versión.

Ok I have a midi mixer an ECLER NUO4. I love this thing!! Anyways I have it all mapped out just the way I like it. I have a couple of knobs and 2 upfaders that can be mapped out, I would like to know what you guys have mapped out your upfaders to controll?? I use turntables so I dont need the pitch control, the video crossfader is the same as my audio crossfader. So let me hear what ya'll have done.
Thanks for your time.

OK, nobody uses them, lol!! On to the next 1.................
 
I have one of my faders set to activate combinations of video effects as you slide it up - five or six different places where it activates on the fader.
 
@musicalcheers, nice can you type out the script so I can try it?
Thanks for takin a look.

Anyone else wanna post?????
 
I actually modified the script for my mixer to do this so will need to check back to see what I did exactly - it was a while back now - pretty busy for next few days but will get back to you.
 
If you do video mixing you can have each of the upfaders mapped to fade each deck to black.
 
I don't like crossfaders, never use them. Mine is completely disabled.

I use the upfaders all the time, they do not fade to black.

The video is set to automatically crossfade according to the volume of the upfaders.
 
Soulman could you PM me that script. Right now I have them setup as macros. When I push up it turns on 1 video and when I cross a certain point it changes to another video effect. Then on the way back down both effects are triggered at the same time.

Thanks for looking and your time

Sorry I forgot all about this. Here is how mine currently work...

I have the device xml set to trigger at different points on the slider...

<button cc="19" value="0" name="CH3_FADER_1" />
<button cc="19" value="20" name="CH3_FADER_2" />
<button cc="19" value="40" name="CH3_FADER_3" />
<button cc="19" value="60" name="CH3_FADER_4" />
<button cc="19" value="80" name="CH3_FADER_5" />
<button cc="19" value="100" name="CH3_FADER_6" />
<button cc="19" value="127" name="CH3_FADER_7" />


Then the mapper is sent to trigger whatever you want when the slider reaches that level. For example, I have it triggering video effects...

<map value="CH3_FADER_1" action="video_fx_select Boom_Auto &video_fx" />
<map value="CH3_FADER_4" action="video_fx_select VideoCube &video_fx" />
<map value="CH3_FADER_6" action="video_fx_select VideoRotation &video_fx" />
 
Man thats some serious stuff...

I didnt even think of doing stuff like that. My crossfader is mapped as the internal audio crossfader in vdj. Under the settings though I have crossfader disabled so I'm still using the the external sound mixer where you can change the crossfader curve etc. I'm not good at scratching with upfaders so crossfader is the best option.

I then map the link/unlink button for video crossfader to audio crossfader and I switch between controlling the video transition. As well as that I map a couple buttons which basically auto fades the video transition between each deck as another option. I only do this because its a perfectly timed and smooth movement rather than me moving one of the faders on my mixer slowly.

Theres obviously heaps of ways you can do it... I might look into the scripting idea though, sounz like you do some pretty mean things
 
@Musicalcheers,
Were on the same page, thats how I have mine setup.

@I rids,
Yeah theres lots you can do, have fun man!!

Thanks for ya'lls input I'm sure this will help a bunch of people!! Nice work!!

It's not a script, I just have the crossfader disabled in the Options Tab.

In the Video Tab, the "Video Crossfader Automatic" is ticked.

The video output plays according to which volume fader is up. If they are both up then the output shows the middle of the transition you're using. As soon as you lower one of the faders, the opposite video takes over the output screen. If you have both faders up and one of the videos comes to an end then the opposite video takes over the output screen. If you are beatmixing videos then as soon as you start raising the volume of the incoming video, then the video output shows the middle of the current transition. This is all done smoothly.

Simple really, and means you don't have to watch or think when mixing from one video to another, it's all automatic. :-)

Cheers
Have fun
