Does anybody have a Midi map for the DJ-Tech CTRL dvs midi controller
I just picked up this DVS midi controller, and didnt even think to check if VDJ supports because , you know, VDJ usually supports everything!!!!!! :)
well to my surprise, i was wrong :( Virtual dj sees it but there no map in the software. Does anyone have a VDJ map for it ? its pretty much an equivilant to the Pioneer DDJ-SP1, . its like but on dicers on steroids, it pretty much gives me all the features my S4 mk2 does but for tech 1200s . . . . There is a XML map for serato and traktor availible for download from there site. . . Could i just use that? any help will be appreciated

Can't use those as they use different names for commands. And vdj needs a definition file.
but in the pdf it gives you the full midi table so making a definition file and mapper file wouldn't be too difficult

It might feel difficult to start with, but help is at hand when you get stuck.
And it feels great to "Own" your device right down to the definition file.

Thanks locodog for the response. . .
do you know if It would be easier to just copy the commands from my s4 and then just save each command to each feature, I say this because the lay out is very simliar for the auto loop nobs, beat move nob etc, it seems like i could just do that but not very sure , I have very little experience with midi mapping. I guest my biggest concern is how do i get the lights to turn on and off. .. . I found this midi list but it doesnt mention lights? Is there any reason why VDJ wouldnt have already mapped this?

That's the midi table. The lights are switched by Note on/off.
Instead of thinking of the big picture, try to write a definition and mapping that only sees the "M" button when pressed and switches the LED.
Get that down and you'll be on the way.
Or failing that post the vid pid, [How to get the Unique Identifiers :] I could get you started, [but I haven't done any definition files remotely before]
why was it missed by atomix? who knows, but you could also ask why wasn't vdj mapping provided by dj tech? You could try them.

If you can provide the VID and PID of the device we can map it natively
