Forum: Old versions

OK I know it's down to the VDJ guys really, not ADJ - but it's still pretty daft to have a button marked config that has NO config options!

However I experienced another issue with LE. When I hit congig, I got the popup for try pro for 20 days. Can't remember what the two options were now but from what I remember it was worded in a way that meant I had to choose Pro - so I did. Hit config again and was told my 20 days had expired! and I could not access the settings at all to see how it was set up.

Cue buttons - I've narrowed the issue down to VDJ. When the unit runs in analoue mode or connected via USB, but without VDJ started, the cue buttons work as expected. However as soon as you start VDJ the buttons start to act strangly. I'll upload a video to explain.

Effect Knob - This is way to sensative. Turning the knob often bypasses effects or moves on the next without you realising. Is there a way to adjust this via VDJScript?

What I meant was that the VDJ issues are fine here, but any ADJ issues - like hardware and firmware - would be better off on their own forum, as it probably won't get seen here.

Personally, I find the mixer not mapped if you use a different sound device a bit more of an annoyance and shouldn't be on the user to do.

So expecting things 'just to work' at this point, I plugged in my monitors (to the master out) cued up a couple of tracks and hit play. Nothing!!! I turned the master, gains and faders to the max and got a bt of noise in the VU's. Couldn't even get anything in the headphones.

Now though the decks were asignd to midilogs 1 and 2. I'm sure I read somewere here (chris/rick) that VDJ would be assigned to midilogs 2 and 3 leaving 1 and 4 for other devices. I went back to settings and found the advanced setup under the ASIO and saw that I could assign the sound card channels independently to the midilog channels. So I assigned channels 1&2 to midilog 2 and 3&4 to midilog 3. Then just assigned 5&6 to midilog 1 and 7&8 to midilog 4 just so that everything had its own place. BINGO... Now working as expected.

However I noticed that the 4 out/8 out switch had no effect on the ASIO settings or the device. Do I need to have VDJ setup for timecodes for this to kick in?

The 4 out/8 out switch - I discovered that the change only gets noticed by the software once you power cycle the VMS4.
So if you want to change from one sound card setting to the other, you have to cut the juice.

Can someone send me this file, I already have serial number so I don't see it as a breach as must still need that to work it.

I have 2 xp-10 controllers too. is it possible to use them connected to other 2 free channels of vms4? That could bring interesting possibilities....

If you have Pro already, and you install LE (necessary to get all the bits and bobs installed) then the install process will also put certain files
into the VDJ 'storage area' (which isn't the install dir) so when you next run Pro, the VMS4 skin will be there and so on.

If you don't have Pro and you upgrade from LE, that'll work too - because LE will have installed the VMS4 specific bits.

This may explain your other problem above ... but the expected default of the unit is in the 4-out mode NOT 8-out. If you switched it to 8 out that might be why you were having some issues ... but hard to know since I wasn't there :)

Daft or not, that is the standard skin design on ALL VirtualDJ products and is what the user's expect to see if they have ever used the trial version or another VirtualDJ product.

Chris/Rick,

I' thinking we should add a "Getting Started" page to the Wiki for the VMS4. There's some interesting info coming out now whihc would help others and being in the Wiki it would be something that would evolve over time.

Can we have a new Index page under Hardware Controllers for "American Audio" and then we can start to build the wiki page in there.

Cheers,

Roy

Haven't got an issue with that. Even just a non-editable placeholder with a link to this thread would be a start ;-) That way we should be able to cut down on the number of duplicate threads...

One more for you. Since setting the VMS4 in to 4 OUT mode, I appear to have lost any volume from the sampler.

I also cannot fathom how to chain effects. Selecting the next effect does stops the current one. That said, I haven't tried experimenting with pushing the effect knob.
