One Button Switch for Modes

DJ Hondai 2:30 PM - 20 June, 2005
Hi folks,

how about using just one button for switching between absolute / relative / internal modes instead of three right now for each deck.

To make it work perfect, let's say "Ctrl-F1" switches all modes for "deck a" in this manner: absolute-relative-internal-relative-absolute

The same thing for "deck b" with "Ctrl-F2"
That should work seemlessly.

or even better for vinyl purists: absolut-relative-absolute

It would be much easier to map this two buttons to a third-party controller, instead of the six single buttons.

Greetz,

It's one button for me... of course, caps lock is on and then it is F1, F2, F3, etc.

but what would happen if you wanted to switch to internal from relative without switching to absolute first?? or the opposite, from internal to relative?

im afraid one button will not work...

Yeah thats right.

I really like the idea of using a programmable keypad or other controller instead of a keyboard. The regular keyboards are far too chunky and the small sized keyboards have simply too small buttons to use them in a live performance.

But most programmable keypads or controllers are very limited in the number of buttons.

I think at least a button for switchin only between absolute and relative mode would be nice for vinyl DJs, who don't use the internal mode anyway... (I'm one of 'em ;-)

It looks nice with three buttons!
