Topic: Custom knobs
Basically Im using stems and I want gain to be gain, Hi to be stem instru, mid to be stem bass and low to be stem kick and hihat and filter to remain filter. I have a flx10. Can I do this or I can only stick to the 4 EQ options ?

VDJ allows one to set any knob to what ever stem (or combo) you wish.

Just create a new mapping for your FLX4, (so you can always return to your current mapping) and define the knob's mappings for:
EQ_HIGH
EQ_MID
EQ_LOW
to the stems you desire.

note: they will currently be mapped to, for example EQ_HIGH = eq_high

where eq_high is a place holder for the EQ determined by choice of a VDJ EQ setup, ie Frequency, EZ_Remix, ModernEQ or Dual Inside or Dual Outside. (the eq_mode)

change the mapping from eq_high to stem 'Instru' for example.

see the action/verb stem for a complete description of the possible stems and combos.

and if the already aggregated stem combos are not enough, ie Rhythm = HiHat and Kick,
you can group any stems combos, to a knob, (its mapping) by using a "&" for each stem that you wish the knob to control.

what eq_mode are you currently using?
 
I tried that and it doesnt work. I put eq_high at stem_instru for instance, not working. And it keeps disappearing it's like it really doesnt want to be that.
 
for the FLX4's mapping of EQ_HIGH, try as suggested stem 'Instru'

see the stem verb for it's how the stem verb is setup.

"stem_instru" is NOT valid

also click the save icon/button to save your changes, after modifying the mapping.

stem

Change the amount of a stem in the mix. Stem names are: "HiHat", "Vocal", "Instru", "Bass", "Kick", or you can use aggregate stems: "Melody" (Instru+Bass), "Rhythm" (HiHat+Kick), "MeloVocal" (Melody/Vocal), "MeloRhythm" (Melody/Rhythm). To get kill on left side and isolate on right side of the slider, you can use "FullVocal", "FullMelo" and "FullRhythm" To map a slider to always control the equalizer, regardless of EQ mode, you can use "stem FreqHi", "stem FreqMid", and "stem FreqLo"



hope that helps !
 
Thank you very much! I will apply those changes shortly and will report back with results.
 
The sound works but on the screen the knobs dont move at all.
 
That's most likely because the skin knobs are in EQ Frequency mode.
You would most likely see changes if you have the EQ mode set to one of the Advanced, stem-based modes.

Also, controllers with an internal mixer setup like the DDJ-FLX4, by default, should give the option to choose the EQ mode on controller connection/detection:
