Sujet: Clone_deck question

Ce topic est ancien et peut contenir des informations obselètes ou incorrectes.

Hello everyone. I am trying to get my sync button, which i never use, to clone the oposite deck without ever loading a file in decks 3 & 4. In other words I want the left deck sync button to load a clone in deck 2 only and the right deck sync button to load a clone in Deck 1 only. Works fine if one of the decks is not playing. Also, I would like to still have the sync button flash with the song. Is any of this possible? I'm using a Denon MC-6000 in 4 deck PC mix mode. Not sure if any of that makes a difference.

Thanks in advance for any help

After combing the forum I was able to get the script to only load clones to decks 1 & 2, but I would like to add something to make sure I never load a clone to a deck that is playing. The script i'm using is "deck 1 clone_deck 2 & deck 2 clone_deck 1" . . . hopefully someone sees this, since the original post was months ago, and nobody ever responded. If not i'm gonna start another post!!!! ;)
 
The mapper of MC6000 offers only one SYNC button to assign, and not depending on which side they are, so this has to be mapped like...

device_side "left" ? deck 2 play ? nothing : deck 1 clone_deck 2 : deck 1 play ? nothing : deck 2 clone_deck 1
or
device_side "left" ? deck right play ? nothing : deck left clone_deck right : deck left play ? nothing : deck right clone_deck left
or, if that doesnt work try ..
action_deck 1 ? deck 2 play ? nothing : deck 1 clone_deck 2 : action_deck 2 ? deck 1 play ? nothing : deck 2 clone_deck 1

or for 4 decks ..
action_deck 1 ? deck 2 play ? nothing : deck 1 clone_deck 2 : action_deck 2 ? deck 1 play ? nothing : deck 2 clone_deck 1 : action_deck 3 ? deck 4 play ? nothing : deck 3 clone_deck 4 : action_deck 4 ? deck 3 play ? nothing : deck 4 clone_deck 1
or
action_deck 1 ? deck right play ? nothing : deck left clone_deck right : action_deck 2 ? deck left play ? nothing : deck right clone_deck left : action_deck 3 ? deck right play ? nothing : deck left clone_deck right : action_deck 4 ? deck left play ? nothing : deck right clone_deck left

Sorry to provide more than 1 solution. The MC6000 is a bit special on the way the device can be mapped.

About the LED of the SYNC (called LED_SYNC). You need to find that in the List of the Keys (top right in the Mappers window) and assign that as ..
sync
Thats easy :)

Hope that helps.
 
I tried the one in the middle 1st, and it does exactly what I wanted.

"device_side "left" ? deck right play ? nothing : deck left clone_deck right : deck left play ? nothing : deck right clone_deck left"

Thanks DJ DAD
 
I'm now trying to get clone_deck to not load songs to a deck that is playing while using Denon 3700s. I tried to alter the scripts above, but nothing worked. I accidentally grazed my clone deck button last night at a club gig. Wasn't pretty =[ but I recovered. Now I'm a little paranoid.
 
Using the Denon 3700 (single deck device), you should use the script with the action_deck , not device_side/left/right etc.
Are you using a 4 deck or a 2 deck skin ?
 
I'm using a 2 deck skin. This one worked:

action_deck 1 ? deck right play ? nothing : deck left clone_deck right : action_deck 2 ? deck left play ? nothing : deck right clone_deck left

Thanks again.
