Topic: When using set_cue how do we disable quantizing to the beat
When setting a cue via a script I'm struggling to turn off quantizing to the beat grid, I've tried
quantize_setcue off & set_cue "new"
Still snaps to the beat.

I also tried turning off "Snap" in the POI editor but it doesn't seem to affect "set_cue".
There's a quantizeSetCue setting but that seems to reflect the value of the quantize_setcue verb.

Even the set cue buttons in VirtualDJ don't seem to respect that setting.... I feel like I've missed something obvious again.

I'm pretty sure your script works. Are you sure you are targeting the right deck?
 
I just ran it again, doesn't seem to work, I'm running "v2024 b8346". Would love to know if anyone sees something different
 
Yep, although I already have a keyboard mapping for quantize toggling, I literally just took your script, put it on a custom button, placed an uncued track into a deck, made sure the deck was the active and master deck, turned on all the quantize options and tried it - it works for me.

I'm on a Mac with b8630 (Early Access)
 
Check if quantize_all is off as well
 
Thank you that's it:
quantize_all off & quantize_setcue off & set_cue "new"
 
@Adion (and other vdjscript gurus) just curious...shouldn't quantize_setcue off imply that quantize_all off?
 
quantize_all is independent of the other quantize options.
So you could enable/disable quantize_all at times (some controllers have a button for that), while still keeping some individual settings always on/off based on your preference.
 
While I do understand that logic, I do also think it's a bit odd at first glance that specific quantize verbs are overriden by quantize_all if it's on, especially if the specific verbs are used last.
I'll keep that in mind.
