Hi folks,
I've been searching this forum for a quick 'dummies guide' to setting up some basic keyboard controls for a 2-deck layout. Basically, for each deck (separately), I want to be able to do the following and assign each action to a key on the left and right of the keyboard:
Go to the start of the track
Set a cue
Go to a cue
Play
Stop/Pause
Move Pitch +1.0
Move Pitch -1.0
Set Pitch to 0.0
Add a 5 second delay to the start of the track
Add a 10 second delay to the start of the track
These are all commands that were easy to set up in cross dj, but I am struggling to do them with Virtual DJ - so any help would be met with overwhelming (albeit completely forum-based) gratitude!
Cheers,
M@

Thanks locodog!
I'm trying to work all this out before I buy the pro version to replace CrossDJ at my wife's dance studio. The situation behind the 'start delay' is that sometimes the teachers have to walk off the floor, and up to the desk to play a track. they need to be able to make it back to their client before the dance starts, and (depending on the position on the floor) it can be 5-10 seconds)
So it would be brilliant if they are able to load a track, press a button to give 5 seconds delay (or another to give 10) before the track starts,and then head back to the client.
Does that make sense?

oh - I just found this code of yours:
var_equal "delayPlay" 0 ? off & set "delayPlay" 1 & repeat_start_instant "RSIcatchPulse" 33ms & load_pulse ? nothing : pause & repeat_start "RSdelayPlay" 10000ms 1 & play : blink & set "delayPlay" 0 & repeat_stop "RSIcatchPulse"
but I can't seem to get it to work...?

Since you are talking about manually starting a track with 5 seconds delay, use this:
repeat_start 'DelayPlay5s' 5000ms 1 & deck X play
repeat_start 'DelayPlay5s' 5000ms 1 & deck X play

an alternative to adding a delay - since you were going to buy the pro version? - might be to just use the VirtualDJ remote app and a tablet or phone and controlling it from anywhere in the room to start and stop it as you pleased

That one was for automix and is out of date, (automix mix time can now be set to negative numbers now)
I would have suggested something like phantom put forward, but wild's suggestion is good too, the remote app will give you full control from the floor

Thank you everyone
I think the remote app will be the way to go. All the rest of the button mapping went brilliantly. I'm going to show the team over the weekend, and (if all looks good) get the pro version asap.

What does that mean?
Incidentally, can anyone point me to a list of the music in Content Unlimited? I'm trying to find out if there's content in there that's appropriate for the studio (ballroom), and therefore worth subscribing to as well?
