Rane 68 vs Video SL

Impart 5:23 PM - 17 May, 2010
Hi There,

I got the Rane 68 for a few days now, except for some minor issues "already discussed in this forum the mixer works great :)

As I'm new into the SL thing i was wondering if anybody could drop some ideas on how to set-up the rane 68 (Midi) to get most out of the SL functions ?

I want to control the 4 filter drop down menu's & the control knob on those 4, at this stage i only managed to assign 1 filter drop down menu & select for each deck.

Also i want to control the transitions select drop down menu.

thanks for dropping some suggestions.

Best,
Markus

Markus, if you go to user group 5 (hold down the LAYER/SHIFT buttn on the top left of the mixer) and press CUE POINT button 5 on the left channel strip, this will make the control strips work VSL functions.
Here is a mapping of the controlls.

VSL Channel section

you can switch between the groups (X-Fader and Channels) by pressing the LAYER/SHIFT button on the mixer (it will switch between ORANGE= VSL channel controls & RED= VSL X-Fader controls)

To get back to having the control strips trigger cues and loops, hold the LAYER/SHIFT button on the mixer and press CUE POINT button 1 on the channel strip.

Hi Bigwiz,

thanks, this works great... i didn't knew that the rane 68 was already pre-mapped.

is there a pre-mapped Serato DJ effects page as well ?

thanks,

Best,
Markus

not that I know of but it's very easy to map stuff in the Sixty-Eight (or with any MIDI controller for that matter) when using Scratch Live

Thanks, i tried it but somehow I'm not able to assign a control knob so that i can adjust minimum or maximum the same way it's now working for the SL control knobs.

any suggestions on what 'i have might done wrong ?

what i did:
1 select a layer on the rane 68
2 open DJ effect's on serato
3 push midi on serato
4 click on control knob (using pointing device on computer)
5 turning or clicking on the knob ( Rane 68)
6 click midi again on (serato)

tried it, but somehow the control knob is not turning, i see some minor movements on the (serato) but not the complete min / max..

Yes, whie you have your mouse over the control and the MIDI box is green, press the letter C on your conputer untill the Data Type reads relative - binary offset
You should have to pess C twice to get to this option.
Here is a scren shot of what it should read.

You can make a crate and call it whatever you want at any given time.

Ummm... that was a misspelling, it was for a gig I was doing for a beverage company and was supposed to read.. Appleton.
My bad.
