Please add Dual Deck Modes and the ability to Split STEMs across 2 Decks.
Basic Mode: simply lock 2 Decks together so they can both be controlled by the Jog Wheel and Tempo Fader without switching between decks.
a. Typically this will be Deck 1 & 3 or Deck 2 & 4.
STEMs Split Mode: basically create an Instant Double of the currently playing track on Deck 1 over to Deck 2, but at the same time switch Deck 1 to Instrumental and Deck 2 to Acappella.
a. By default, the tracks would be BPM and Beat locked together, but this could be disabled as well for additional flexibility.
b. Obviously, we’d want the ability to do this in reverse as well (ex. Acappella on Deck 1 and Instrumental on Deck 2).
c. This will enable independent EQing, FX, Cutting, Scratching, etc., of each STEM across the 2 channels.
Several of the recent features coming to other softwares were done by Algoriddim first (streaming service integration, real-time STEMs separation, STEMs FX, STEMs EQ, even the new “Auto BPM Transition” on the Pioneer Rev 5 is basically djay’s Automix).
I was actually able to get pretty close to the STEMs Split functionality with a custom MIDI Mapping on my Reloop Mixon 8 Pro.
I used the Duplicate function to map 3 MIDI commands to a single button.
First I mapped Instant Double to SHIFT + Load Channel 2.
Next I mapped Deck 2: Neural Mix Solo (2ch: Acappella) to the same button.
Finally I mapped Deck 1: Neural Mix Solo (2ch: Instrumental) to the same button again.
So, if I’m playing a track on Deck 1 and I press SHIFT + Load Channel 2 it will essentially put the Acappella onto Deck 2 and switch Deck 1 into an Instrumental.
With Slip and Sync engaged, you can pretty much keep the Instrument and Acappella locked together even when scratching.
Here’s the mapping key to go with the Reloop Mixon 8 Pro MIDI Mapping above. White Text represents regular button functions and Orange Text represents SHIFT + functions.
