fluid beatgrids?

[Orhan Deniz]

Hi all,

I'm unsure as to how these work

When I have loaded a track, I hit my applications key to go into the context menue, hit nvda+r to ocr, then hit enter on bpm editor. So far so good.

Then it presents me with a choice between fluid and rigid. When I press enter on fluid, nothing seems to happen, or at least nothing that I can detect. Maybe the grid is visually populated. I then hit alt+f4, and then nothing?

To make this even more confusing, some tracks in my folder have analyse fluid grid in the context menue, and others have reanalyse bpm.

am I doing something wrong?

Best,

Orhan.

Hi Orhan

you don't need to use the application key to access VDJ context menu.

just press 'CTRL +ALT + E' until you hear 'analyze BPM using Fluid BPM analyzer'

then press 'E'

there are also s            ome settings in the VDJ options to configure as well, such as  'fluidAnalysis' is  etc.

Pete

Strange. I see those options in the vdj options but I don't have that option in my mallmuzik ctrl+alt+e menue, despite updating to the latest version.

Also do you have any recommendations on configuring it well?

Cheers!

Hi, you're probably trying to find the fluid analysis in the menu when the focus is on the sidebar. Go to the file list and press Ctrl+Alt+e.
Best regards.

[Orhan Deniz]

Hi,

I don't know what that means. I am in the songs list which are my files.

Best regards,

Use the left and right arrow keys to switch between library panels.

These are:
Folders,
Files,
Side List,
Automix List,
Karaoke.
The Ctrl+Alt+e menus may differ in each panel.

When you find a folder with music files in the folders panel, press the right arrow key once to go to the file list. Within this list, press Ctrl+Alt+e until you hear "fluid analyze."

Best regards, Zenek

Aha, thanks very much. I’m sure last night I tried pressing VO shift and left and right arrow, but it was getting rather late. But at least my question prompted you to also mention the shift W shortcut, which I forgot about. So much to learn, and I’ not very methodical or patient, so I’ve started off by working on a rather complex project, but I’m getting there. I’ve noticed that Logic Magician doesn’t seem to exit when I go into the keymappings bit with Option K, and I’ve inadvertently been turning on latch automation and goodness knows what, so I must remember to press control escape before going into that. My last weird issue was that the tape delay plugin had loads of dimmed sliders, and I couldn’t work out how to change the delay note/beat value, or the free and sync button. So I gave up and am having a lot more joy with the stereo delay. Thanks very much for the help. That slider question was indeed incredibly basic and probably just needed me to take a deep breath and pause for a second, but thanks for the speedy response.

Have you read all the keyboard shortcuts on this page? I think many of them would be helpful to you.

I'm so glad it worked out.

Ah, turns out I forgot to add it to my custom keymap. I had convinced myself I had. All sorted now!

Apologies, I posted a message there intended for the blind Logic group. Proof that I've still not got a full rasp of the Mac.

ah. if you want to use the context menus in a custom mapper or custom controller, there are some built in script macros.

use, for example. "show_text &quot;^^ContextForwardSelector^^&quot;" in place of the select context item, (same as CTRL+ALT+E in the default keymap,). and also use "show_text &quot;^^ContextItemActivate^^&quot;" in place of the activate the menu item command (same as 'e' in the default map).

then any future updates will also apply to your custom mapper

.

these only work if you keep your custom map file in the 'custommappers' folder.

I will get around to putting up the list of all the script macros. honest guv LOL.

anyway, Hope this helps.

Ah, now I understand what the changelog said :)
Oh yes, it would be nice to update the website with new keyboard shortcuts and script macros. Take care, Zenek
