Please add a feature similar to Deck Swap on the Pioneer DJM-S11 and Rev 5.
Essentially this feature moves the currently playing track from Deck 1 or 2 over to Deck 3 or 4.
This is really handy when you’ve completed your transition to a new track, but want to keep some parts of old track going, while you get another track ready.
a. For example, maybe you have some melodic element, a vocal loop or hi-hat pattern that works really well with the new track so you want to keep it running while you’re cueing up the next track.
Currently, I do this manually by creating an Instant Double from Deck 1 to 3 for example and then fader cutting between them, but it would be great to simply move the track with a single MIDI command to free up Deck 1 or 2 again. (For example, SHIFT + Load 3 to move the track to Deck 3).
On a 4 channel controller I prefer to do my main mixing on Decks 1 & 2 so I don’t need to constantly change the deck platter controls over to 3 & 4 and back again.
a. By pushing the old track over to Deck 3 or 4 there’s very little need to ever change the platter control away from Decks 1 & 2.
b. IMO this makes the whole 4 Deck mixing process smoother and easier to manage.
I regret I have but one like to give this feature request…but make it available to everyone in the software, not just users of that interface/controller.
Can you add a feature were when you add a cue point it goes in order.
And can u have the match feature search in current folder n limit how many match songs to show
With the recent improvements to S11 support, it would be great to have this feature. The deck move buttons send a midi message (yay!), but there doesn’t appear to be an action(s) to perform this. I think deck move is a combo of instant double, unload from deck, and propagating the audio state (level, eq, stems) to the new deck(?). Would love to have this!
i updated in light of trackdeck moving, looking through the midi actions… i could not find the function?? you mind showing a screenshot of which setting its under?
ie. general? mixer? decks etc
am i correct in thinking the swapped decks changes the playing songs from deck 1 over to deck 2 & vice versa
cheeRs
EDIT: i found the function, its under “music library”
im struggling to see where the feature could be implemented in a useful way…
i think without all the stem EQ,Stem,Fx being transferred over in the swap… you effectively change the deck with all the sudden changes but neither keeping all the settings of the original deck… the key point here are the sudden changes, which in my observation isnt instant…
but i suppose its the infancy of the feature request thats important… perhaps the developers will look further into how it maybe better utilised *shrugs
for myself, i anticipated deck changing with all EQ’s, Stems etc being deck swapped as well, which would have been handy with the 64 button scrub points ive mapped for jumping around in the song for vocal beat jumping
just to add some extra thoughts… the deckswapping also kills the playing Deck, which is not desireable ….
it would make more sense that if deck swapping occurs, that “Both” decks swap positions… & each element(FX,EQ,Stems etc) remains in place… also the state of play or stopped & position remains in their same state before deck swap
i can see why developers would not necessarily initiate deck swap with all the stems volumes/eq’s etc…
the inherent problem would be parameter jumping when moving the knobs after the deck swaps occurs(fixed knobs would be in different positions)… so perhaps the way its been implemented is to avoid this issue!
