- You should take a serious look at MixVibes Cross DJ, if they still support it, it’s great software. You might trade in VDJ (if that is what you are already using on another system). At 45 euros for the full version it’s not expensive either.If it’s not supported (possible, don’t see it in the list anymore) the mapping tool is pretty easy to use.Just my two cents.

C.If meters on digital gear peak (digital 0dB), that’s the end of the proverbial line. I don’t know about VDJ, so not sure how they handle the meters. If you have done any real reading on this forum and blog you can not have missed all the posts that tell you to stay out of the RED! (or RED=BAD, if you need something to remember it by).As opposed to analogue sound where eating up your headroom slowly leads to increasing distortion (bad enough, but survivable), in the digital realm, if you hit 0dB there is no more room to manoeuvre. Clipping occurs. How to play songs on garageband ipad piano. Clipping sounds awful and is a sure fire way to get your speakers in serious trouble.Not sure clipping would sound like a piano, but it sounds pretty bad.So, rule #1, stay in the green on digital, with peaks in the low yellows. That should be enough signal to get 0dB average into your speakers/amp which is their optimal work load anyway.Greetinx,

I sorted the issue somehow by adding the driver name to the definition file. Until now it was only with vid and pid values since miditrace would not give me the sysexid. It was weird though, the more leds i was mapping the more piano sounds i had lol. But no piano sounds anymore so all good. and i got the leds blinking and flashing nicely.Anyway almost there now. Two things remaining:A. Define the jogwheels properly. How do i find the full=”xxx” value for the definition file? Miditrace? Or just trial and error until a full rotation of the jog results in a full rotation of the platter in vdj skin? I don’t expect to be scratching with them lol, but i’d like to make them perform as best as they can.B. What script do i use in the mapping file so i can make the pitch bend buttons move the slider instead? Is it even possible?I think i ll also remap the REV (reverse) buttons as SHIFT, to maybe add looping capabilities.I don’t know why Im bothering with all this, as i ve got a mixtrack pro and an lpd8. but im learning new things so it’s fun.I believe the jogwheel value for a full rotation of the jogwheel is “1.0” which is different from just “1”. For the pitch i think it’s pitch +X%Try setting the value to 160 instead of 162 based entirely that the codes are in hexadecimal. This is interesting, let me know how it turns out.I’m glad I could help. If you ever get an akai lpd8 and decide to map it let me know 🙂Hello Red_eye1980Great job on getting this controller to work with Virtual DJ – I am in a similar situation, as you were in before you created the mapper and definition file. I was wondering if your offer is still valid, ie. if you are still sharing your mapper and definition file. If so please can you send them to me at [email protected]. Many thanks.Regards

Virtual DJ provides the user mapping capability to support almost any external MIDI controller today. Virtual DJ uses its own action scripting called, “VDJScript”, when assigning the functionality of a MIDI controller. This tutorial will demonstrate how to edit and assign controls from within the Virtual DJ software to a MIDI controller. Tema: Mapping AKAI MPK Mini. Or create a full definition+mapper file.
