Tema: Mapping - device_side question

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

Just wondering if you need to specify the deck that will be effected if you are using "device_side 'left' ? action for button on left deck : action for button on right deck"

I am trying to use a large code but basically it is

device_side 'left' ? deck 1 effect "granular" active : deck 2 effect "granular" active

Can it be shortened to

device_side 'left' ? effect "granular" active : effect "granular" active

but still effect only the deck on the side the button is on?

Cheers,

Andrew

You shouldn't need to add the deck number because the software already knows this from which side you pressed the button on.

That's good to know, now that part will fit but... I have been thinking of other possibilities and now I kind of want to use

device_side 'left' ? deck 2 effect "looproll" active : deck 1 effect "looproll" active

Its the other way around now so I can increase the amount of available buttons for the dj2go, is this still possible? Sorry I don't have the device yet I'm just trying to get the mapping sorted while I wait for it.

Cheers for the reply

That would simply activate the effect on the opposite deck to what you pressed, which would be very confusing.

If you want to increase the number of buttons, try assigning a button you don't use to be a SHIFT button, e.g:

set $shift 1 while_pressed

Then map buttons as follows:

var $shift ? shifted action : non-shifted action

I Already have 1 main one (shifts the whole device) 2 deck specific ones and about 4 little ones for single action shifts, plus hundreds of variables LOL, can I make a definition file so I use each button separately so It will do what I want?

Also I think I need a definition file anyway so I can map the leds is this true, or are they available to control with the default mapping?

Sorry I have never mapped a 2 deck controller before... :)

You could make your own definition if you wish, however its much easier and less time consuming to just use device_side 'left' ? left action : right action to split the left and right button functions.

You can also use this in combination with shift, e.g:

device_side 'left' ? var $shift ? shifted left action : unshifted left action : var $shift ? shifted right action : unshifted right action

Yeah, I have another shift on top of that so I think I will need to make a definition file and start separating my mapping so I can use them on individual buttons, the granulizer thing won't need to be shorter because it will fit in the script area if not using device_side.

I think the controller will need a couple of extra buttons on the right side when deck 1 shift is activated and visca versa, as there is only 6 buttons per side not including the browser buttons.

Thanks for your help.
