SBDJ
Good afternoon :)
Came across a small issue with the mapping of the Performer.
If you have stems EQ enabled and your hardware EQs aren't set centre before starting Virtual DJ (or switching to stems EQ) then the EQ change persists until you go back to frequency EQ and move all affected EQ pots to reset them.
Not a big pain, after all Shift+PFL is mapped to switch EQ modes like Serato, but I have seen a couple of people complain about audio issues in the past so thought it worth mentioning as this could be a cause, especially since it's not something you can see in the UI.
I did try to switch the EQ mode and reset the EQ in VDJ through mapping a custom button, but it seemed to require actual hardware input to resolve. I didn't dig into it any further.
Obviously in Serato such settings don't persist, so stems EQ isn't enabled at startup. This means it's a conscious choice to turn it on, and thus easily becomes user error.

I don't think it's an error. I use the Rane One and sometimes a song's bass is too much or too little and I will adjust this before hitting my eq mode toggle button to swap to EZ remix when I want to use the stems.
If Virtual DJ "fixed' your issue, it would be creating a problem for others. If you use the Performer and you aren't doing lots of 3 deck mixing, I recommend using dual EQ mode. This is when your deck 1 and 2 EQ nobs work as normal, but the extra 2 channels' EQ nobs work the stems for deck 1 and 2. This is required when spinning on a Pioneer DJM as those EQ nobs are analog--the analog functions cannot be re-assigned but you can ADD functions to the nobs if you want to do stupid or creative things.
Note: eqMode and eqModeDual sometimes don't activate properly...I never changed these settings but sometimes the stem controls don't get assigned correctly when connecting to Pioneer mixers so I made 2 buttons that might be useful for the Performer.
<button action="eq_mode +1">
<button action="setting eqModeDual 'inner' ? setting eqModeDual 'outer' : setting eqModeDual 'inner'">
If you can make 2 buttons or even adding 2 entries to any drop down menu, use 1 line of code for each button. One toggles from EZ remix to traditional EQs and the other toggles which EQ nobs should be used for stems. If my stems are not on the nobs I want, clicking one or both of these buttons fixes it every time. Maybe it could be a solution for you too.
