Mapping RB Video-Crossfader to Channelfaders.

Hey everyone,

I am looking for a way to map the RB Videocrossfader to the movement of the channelfaders. That means if Channelfader A is completely up while Channelfeader B is completely down the Videocrossfader should be completely to the left (Channel A). If the Channelfader of Channel B now gets moved up the Videocrossfader should start moving towards the middle position until the Channelfader B is completely up. If the the Channelfader A gets moved down the Videocrossfader should move to the right (Channel B) until Channelfader A is completely down. 

I hope you understand what i am looking for. I dont want to use the Crossfader to mix, so I want the Videocrossfader beeing controlled by the position of the Channelfaders. 

Thx

No, sorry - what you're asking for would require some signal interpretation and math that the MIDI system is not designed for.

Based on your criteria, what should the software do if channel A is at 75% and channel B is at 60%?

You can use the crossfader as a video-only control so it's not affecting the audio.

Thats pretty simple math ... 

A - B

0.75-0.6 = 0.15 (15% from the middle to the left)

0.6-0.75 = -0.15 (15% from the middle to the right)

1-0 = 1 (Completely Left)

0-1 = -1 (Completely Right)

1-1 = 0 (Middle)

 

Now I found another problem: I made Videoplaylists in iTunes. But in rekordbox those playlists are empty. Why does that not work?

Unfortunately that math does not apply when dealing with multiple inputs for a single-input control. Again, simply assign the crossfader to the video and you won't have any issues.

As for the video playlists, there is currently no ability to mix audio and video playlists within rekordbox. Have you tried loading them to the video portion of the rekordbox collection?

But I am not using the Crossfader for Mixing. And I don't want to mix with Channelfaders and additionally control the video with the crossfader. That should work automatically, I am sure I am not the only one mixing this way. 

The Playlist I created in iTunes is a video only playlist. Of course loading the tracks to the video portion of rekordbox works. But I don't like updating my playlists in rekordbox every weekend before DJing. I manage all my music and videos with iTunes and I hope rekordbox supports this very soon. I spend a lot of money for rekordbox and reading videos of a iTunes playlist shouldn't be such a big problem -.-
