i mentioned this in another thread but i think it deserves its own thread because its a surprise that it is missing from VDJ in the first place
"slow start" and "slow stop" fuction, with an option (knob) to decide how slow the start and stop are
the activation of the feature through the pressing start or stop on the play button (not buried away in the effects section)
the idea is to emulate the natural slow start and slow stop of a vinyl turntable, because is useful as a mixing technique for

Do your presets on the plugin and then add it in to your key control in mapping..

Are you referring to the "break" & "break start" plugins?
I think your missing my point
Slow start and slow stop should be standard playback functions activated by pressing the play button. Not an effect
If I am triggering an effect plugin it is not as natural or spontaneous as it should be
Because I first must double check if the correct plugin is assigned and if I understand correctly cannot trigger that simply with the play button
It's counter intuitive
Unless there is some way to program this which I am missing

Or you could just use a turntable................everybody wants to talk bad about turntables yet they want their little controllers to act just like one...............

just map the play button with
effect 'brakestart' active
You can map ONINIT so you don't need to set it every time you open the program.
effect 'brakestart' slider 1 30% & effect 'brakestart' slider 70%
or you can map the ns6 start & stop knobs with
effect 'brakestart' slider 1
effect 'brakestart' slider 2
effect 'brakestart' active

i dont use brake to emulate a turntable specifically, i do it because i like the sound of it
turntables dont play video....i use VDJ to play video
i have 1210 turntables , i have denon 3700 turntables, and a numark NS7 aswell
and all im saying is i have noticed a very fundamental feature missing from virtual DJ
on digital turntables such as the denon 3700, and numark NS7 the slow start/stop function is not controlled by the platter
and therefore when used as a software controller for Virtual DJ , the slow start is not native supported because it is buried away in the effect section, IMO the wrong place for a basic playback function
bringing my technics 1210s to every gig is a crazy amount of work, i bring them sometimes when i have time & space to do so
regarding controllers: "little" is actually a good thing .....

ok, tried this at a gig
...and there are problems
mainly , if you have breakstart plugin assigned to both play buttons, then you try to finish a song with a slow break , while its slowing down you hit play on the other song , and guess what.... the other song also has the slow break effect happening, so instead of having one song ending and another starting, you have two songs ending
IMO effects is not the way to go
still better for VDJ to include a proper slow start slow stop feature.

You dont have it mapped properly............ Works on my Mixdeck perfectly. Give me a few to check my script.

I have not tested this, but it should work.
Try making a copy of the "break" effect plugin and rename it with a "2" after the name. Use the second one for the second deck... Modify your maps for that second deck too.

yea, its a good idea, i had thaught of this aswell
but in the mapper options there is not a seperate PLAY option for right and left deck, only one which covers both
so i dont see how i could access these seperatly

Is it feasible to use "slow stop" and then "slow start" in sync with the initial beat, i.e. just before the "slow stop"? I think it would sound good.
