Hi,
I do quite a lot of karaoke and would like a quick way to get to a Key+1, Key-1, and Key Reset to original key.
In 2 deck mode (VDJ2018) I have seen the drop down arrow near the KEY setting and this works perfectly.
However, most of the time, I work in 4 deck view, with my top 2 decks being for music, and the bottom 2 being for karaoke.
Therefore I would like to know of a similar approach in 4 deck mode.
My first thought was the performance pads.
I created a new page called Key Adjust.
Then for Pad 1 I selected Key > Key_move. I added -1 myself and called the button "Minus 1" (so in the action column it says key_move -1)
Then for Pad 2 I selected Key > Key_move. I added +1 myself and called the button "Plus 1" (so in the action column it says key_move +1)
I selected Pad 3 and selected Key. I added 0 myself and called the button "Reset" (so in the action column it says key 0)
On my gig laptop this did not work at all.
On my desktop, the first time I pressed the Minus 1 button, the key DID go down by one.
After that nothing worked.
I know I must have it *Almost* right.
Could anyone help please?
Thank you,
Lee.

Actions seem to be correct.
In your /Documents/VirtualDJ/Pads folder, there should be a Key Adjust.xml file. Can you open it with a ext Editor and post here its content ?

Thanks for the reply.
Copy/Paste from the DESKTOP computer in NOTEPAD.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<page>
<pad1 name="Minus 1">key_move -1
</pad1>
<pad2 name="Plus 1">key_move +1
</pad2>
<pad3 name="Reset">key 0
</pad3>
</page>
and Copy/Paste from my gig LAPTOP in NOTEPAD.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<page>
<pad1 name="Key -1">key_move -1
</pad1>
<pad2 name="Key +1">key_move +1
</pad2>
</page>
I have deleted some line spaces as it was really spread out. I hope that is OK? ( I haven't alterred any individual lines, just deleted 'blank' ones)
It appears I only attempted the first 2 pads on the laptop!

Hi,
Can anyone see if I am doing anything wrong, or have I encountered a bug?
Please be aware I am completely new to VDJ script.
Thank you,

If you have new lines in your scripts (often happens with cut and paste) that may affect you script
So your script should end with the last letter/number that has meaning
Other than that I think your script looks fine
But another option you could use is simply using the key cue page that is already there
I know it usually also jumps, but that's a setting - hold on, I'll make a short video
