For those of you with an RMX, Steel, VMS4 or any other 2 deck controller that would like to control 4 decks in VirtualDJ you will need to add some mapping to do so.
Now keep in mind that you can only control 2 decks at a time but using the code I will put below you can assign a button on your controller to swap from Deck 1 to 3 and from Deck 2 to 4.
I have used the button pitch bend + and - on the VMS4. But you can use any button you like.

Very usefull infos DjHomeboy. Many users are asking the same questions all the time..
ok..let me add this also..
You can also make this happen with just 1 button at each side of the controller, using this..

A SUPER selection button script that select focus between loaded decks only and also toggles left-right assignment:
This only works on 4 decks skin and controller must be assigned to left & right. But you can assign it to any button and it works very very well! :)
I suggest that there would be a dedicated forum for script help only.

and a few more ..
In case those buttons do not respond different (not left-right side), meaning that they are in the middle or there are Single Controller buttons like CDJ400 you can assign these..
Shortcut 1 (to switch between deck 1 & deck 3)
Shortcut 2 (to switch between deck 2 & deck 4)
Further on that, if you need also to assign each of the left decks to leftcross (crossfader) and leftvideo (video crossfader)
try these..
Shortcut 1
..and for the right side...
Shortcut 2
I will add propably more.. lets gather them all in one place !

Hello Neighbour,
I want to try your suggested command of flipping between decks, but everytime I rescan for new devices and clicking ok, my Xponent is not available anymore. Any idea why this is happening?

Hey DJhomeboy and DJDAD, I asked this very same question on the VMS4 discussion thread earlier. I was trying to use the mapper to map the + & - Pitch bend buttons on the right and left decks of the VMS4 to switch between decks but it didn't work. Sounds like you have the solution, but where exactly do I put that little bit of code?

thought i'd add this for anyone wanting to map 4 decks to 2 cdj400's. i have it mapped to the eject button so that the left cdj swaps between decks 1&3 and the right cdj decks 2&4:
action_deck 2 ? deck 4 assign_controller 1 & deck 4 rightdeck : action_deck 4 ? deck 2 assign_controller 1 & deck 2 rightdeck : action_deck 1 ? deck 3 assign_controller 2 & deck 3 leftdeck : action_deck 3 ? deck 1 assign_controller 2 & deck 1 leftdeck
action_deck 2 ? deck 4 assign_controller 1 & deck 4 rightdeck : action_deck 4 ? deck 2 assign_controller 1 & deck 2 rightdeck : action_deck 1 ? deck 3 assign_controller 2 & deck 3 leftdeck : action_deck 3 ? deck 1 assign_controller 2 & deck 1 leftdeck

Open VirtualDJ. Go to config. Click mappers. Make sure the device you are mapping is listed in the drop down menu. Press the green plus symbol to tell VirtualDJ to listen for a midi button. Press the button you are mapping to swap 1 and 3. Paste the first line of text into the action box. Now do the exact same thing for 2 and 4, pasting the 2nd line of text.

Have you installed a new custom mapper for it from the site? If so remove it from the devices folder and re-launch VirtualDJ. Is it recognized?
Posté Mon 18 Oct 10 @ 8:25 am

Actually it's the definition file the one you have to move from the VirtualdJ/devices folder in order to work.

Here's one mapper I'd be interested in, especially with the 6 deck skin (and in the future for those who go beyond 6)
What I'd like is a "Deck Scroll" capability. The ability to use three (I think three would be safest) buttons to scroll through the various decks so that on a two deck controller you can assign any deck to the left or right deck.
So using the VMS4 and pitch bend keys as an example, each press on '+' would take you to the next deck. Pressing the thrid button would then assign it to the appropriate side. '-' would obviously do the reverse.
Or maybe the effect knob would be more appropriate SHIFT+TURN to choose deck, SHIFT+PRESS to assign.
One thing though. Would VDJ realise if you scrolled to the other assigned deck and allow you to skip over it? Can this be achieved in script?
Just need to think about what button to use as the assign button...
Cheers,
Roy

Excellent idea. Hopefully this will happen. Although there is also the wiki where people can add extra examples but a dedicated forum would be great from a Q&A perspective.

Hi DJhomeboy, I tried your code for using the Pitch BEND + and - buttons, but it didn't totally work. I clicked the green plus sign in the mapper page, then pressed the left deck - button and then typed in the entire code you listed for decks 1 and 3 and then repeated the process for the + button. Then I repeated this process again on the 2 right deck buttons. When I try it, I can only access decks three and four. I press the left deck Pitch Bend - or + button and deck three along with the cue button light up. I can not access or switch to deck one on the left side. Same situation with the right side. I click pitch bend + or - and it only highlights deck 4 and the deck 4 cue. Help.
