Tópico: Pitch zero issue on VDJ 5.0.7 with HC4500

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

I've found a problem with 5.0.7 when using it with the HC4500.

On any pitch range other than 100%, if you move the HC4500 pitch control and then try to zero it, it's 0.02% out.

On 8% for example, moving the pitch one way will read 8% but the other way only reads 7.98%

Then when you move the slider back to centre, the pitch reads 0.02%

I posted about this before in a general thread but I'm not sure if it's been noticed.

I've come across this in my mapper that I'm developing. It's caused by some pitch ranges having an odd number of steps between their internal minimum and maximum values, which results in the 0% position being offset by -1.

This is visible thanks to the 2dp pitch display the HC4500 is capable of for more accurate adjustments. I doubt anyone would be able to tell that the song was running 0.02% faster though!

I've added code to my mapper that calculates the correct centre position, so that it always shows 00.00%.
 
So is the error affecting the song playback speed or is it just a display error?

If it affects the song speed then it needs addressing immediately, as it will will mean that songs will drift out when mixing.

If it's a display error then it's misleading, which could also cause problems. People may adjust their pitch thinking that it's out when it's not, leading to drifting as above.
 
It's not possible for me to tell for sure, because VDJ skins only show pitch to 1dp, so if it was out by 0.02, it would show as 0.0% (Rounded) on the skin, but +00.02 on the HC4500.

Being 0.02 fast would not cause songs to drift though, because both virtual decks would be out by 0.02%.
 
Can we have a reply from someone at VDJ regarding this please?
 
BUMP!

Can someone from VDJ please comment on this issue?

Thanks.
