- Old versions 7 : Importing Keyboard Shortcuts -->
Desmond0
Hey everyone..
Just wanted to see if it was possible to import my old keyboard shortcuts from VDJ 5 to VDJ 7 (in the old versions they were saved to a simple file that could be imported).
Can you still do this in the new version?
Thanks!

Script Engine was changed in version 6, so you will have to manually edit/modify the old ver5 actions based on the new one.. http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/VDJscript.html
Feel free to ask for further (more detailed) assistance on any of your custom actions.

I have these commands that relate to a quick temporary pitch change (my prefer way to pitch bend) and EQ adjustments that I need to put into the new system. Shouldn't be too hard right?
Can I save these to a file somehow in the new system once I get them set up?
<sc chan="1" action="pitch" key="1" value="temporary -20"/>
<sc chan="1" action="pitch" key="2" value="temporary +20"/>
<sc chan="2" action="pitch" key="3" value="temporary -20"/>
<sc chan="2" action="pitch" key="4" value="temporary +20"/>
<sc chan="1" action="high" key="W" value="+200"/>
<sc chan="1" action="high" key="Q" value="-200"/>
<sc chan="1" action="medium" key="S" value="+200"/>
<sc chan="1" action="medium" key="A" value="-200"/>
<sc chan="1" action="bass" key="X" value="+200"/>
<sc chan="1" action="bass" key="Z" value="-200"/>
<sc chan="2" action="high" key="R" value="+200"/>
<sc chan="2" action="high" key="E" value="-200"/>
<sc chan="2" action="medium" key="F" value="+200"/>
<sc chan="2" action="medium" key="D" value="-200"/>
<sc chan="2" action="bass" key="V" value="+200"/>
<sc chan="2" action="bass" key="C" value="-200"/>
I'd probably consider purchasing the Basic Pro version if I can set up the new one like I have the older one set up.

You have 2 ways to create a mapping file for your keyboard. One way is to follow this http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/How%20do%20I%20map%20a%20keyboard%20shortcut.html , and the other way is to manually create/edit the keyboard mapping.xml file , which is created by the software, once you first edit the default keyboard mapper (can be found in MyDocuments/VirtualDJ/mappers folder).
Some basic changes (ver 5 vs ver 6&7) ..
chan----->deck
key=---->value=
value=---->value is attached to the action itself
temporary-->while_pressed (follows the action and the value)
I'am not really sure what those values represent for your actions, if they are absolute or relative values (need to find some very old documentations to refresh my memory), but will try to give you some examples.
<sc chan="1" action="high" key="W" value="+200"/>
Assuming that value="+200" means increase the eq high by 2%, the ver7 actions should be ..
deck 1 eq_high +2%
if you use the first way of mapping or
<map value="W" action="deck 1 eq_high +2%" />
if you manually create the xml file
Another example..
Assuming that -20 is like -0.2% pitch drop, the line
<sc chan="1" action="pitch" key="1" value="temporary -20"/>
should be ..
<map value="1" action="deck 1 pitch -0.2% while_pressed" />
----
<sc chan="2" action="medium" key="F" value="+200"/>
turns into..
<map value="G" action="deck 2 eq_mid +2%" />
etc.
high-->eq_high
bass-->eq_low
medium-->eq_mid
Again, i m not sure about the values, but you will get the idea.

What version of 5 are you using?
If you register the serial number to your account here, it entitles you either to a discount on upgrades or free updates to your existing version.

Well that was really easy! Just modified the mapper file - took 5 minutes! Thanks a lot!
If I download / install the Pro Basic version I can just overwrite the old file and I'll be all set right?
And groovindj - thanks for the heads up!
