What do you mean gain has special behavior ?

Was it ever confirmed if the SRT has hardware effects or not?

Everything in short is:
When I clone decks the gain gets cloned as well... This is cool for pure internal mixing, but it can get really annyoing when you have a controller that has got its own gain-knobs. Means that after every cloning the user has to pickup the gain from its possition (or whatever setting 'controllerTakeover' is set to).
This can get defused a little bit by setting the controllerTakeover to "instant" or "gradual", but this would mean that every slider behaves this way which also can confuse in between different controllers.
I generally think (besides of just NOT cloning the gain) there could be a nice addition to the controllerTakeover-modes which behaves "absolute"
--> No ability to change sliders with the mouse, only take the absolute position of the controller.

The second strange behaviour is:
If the sampler is routed to a channel, the gain-knob of this channel does not work for the sampler at all, this is confusing because on an actual external mixer it would behave another way.
(This topic is related to it: https://virtualdj.com/forums/230023/Wishes_and_new_features/Sampler_should_respect_Gain_(when_routed_to_a_channel).html)

And I just don't why it is like this with the gain.
I also tried switching every gain-related setting off, but it still stays the same for both cases (sampler & cloning channels)

In DDJ-1000SRT the gain knobs are hardware operated. Yes their movement is visible on the GUI but it's NOT USED.
Therefore the gains behave as in any "hardware" mixer. Nothing special here.

Well the sampler does not get routed to a deck. It shares the deck's output channel.
Anyway, in DDJ-1000SRT the sampler has it's own separate channel so that should not be an issue

Ps.:
Could you explain me why the gain has a special behaviour, other than the normal channel-controls?
I just want to understand the reason for this :)
You can write a personal message if you want, since this is slightly off topic.

I was refering to this part of your previous post. I thought you meant specifically the 1000SRT mapper, and not MIDI controllers in general...
That's why I asked.

Because you want the track to sound equally loud when cloning?
Gain is supposed to be used to level out different tracks, so once adjusted for a specific track it should be right.
Level and eq are your live controls to adjust volume per channel.

Of course there are people who use gain as an alternative level slider and for those this behavior would be less logical.

1) We were able to find a way to control Crossfader Curve from within VirtualDJ (and in fact use the crossfaderCurve setting to adjust it).
This will come in the following software update.

Hi!
There were some software-builds since this post, but somehow I this doesn't seem to work yet.
The crossfader doesn't respond to curve changes as far as I figured out...
Is this function already in VDJ?

I have two questions about the 1000SRT.

In Audio Settings, how do I set the 4 deck output to match the 3/1, 2/4?
Is there a way to use all of the board effects?A few of the top ones work. Enigma Jet, Flanger. Spiral, Slip Roll, etc don't work.

Won't be necessary. We will have the SRT available in our offices as well next week. Thanks for your offer anyway, we may ask your assistance in the future on another device.
