Q: How to upload/submit a Custom Mapper for a Controller for VirtualDJ 8 ?


If you have created a Custom mapper for a natively supported USB Midi Controller or Definition and Mapper for a non-supported one for VirtualDJ 8 and you wish to share those with the VirtualDJ Community, please upload it to our Add-ons page by following the next steps:

  • Visit the Upload Add-ons page (you need to be logged in)

  • Select Other as the type of Add-on and select Custom Mapper from the available categories.(required)



  • Type a name for your Custom mapper (required). Use a simple, short and unique name. Avoid reserved words such as Default and VirtualDJ. If the name is already available, you will be notified on submission so that you change it to a new one.



  • Description, Image and Hastags
    [list]
  • Provide a short description (optional) that describes the offered features of the mapper compared to the default/official one (no more than a couple of short lines - you will be able to provide further details and instructions after approval in the Comments topic)
  • Provide an image for your Custom Mapper that will be visible in the Add-ons listing (required). Can be a very simple image of the controller. Prefer an image of 16:9 aspect ratio (it will be resized to a 16:9 if a different one is provided).
  • Optionally, provide any Hastags (Search Key words) separated by comma. e.g. Pioneer, DDJ-SX in case your Custom mapper is for the Pioneer DDJ-SX



  • Select the User's License Level that your Custom Mapper will be available to. E.g. select PRO users only if you wish to share your Add-on with the Pro Infinity users only or All Users if you want to share it with all users regardless of any purchased License.



  • Provide the mapping xml file or compress all required files if more than one into a zip file (e.g. if you want to provide a txt/pdf file with instructions)
    In case you have created a definition along with the mapping file (for a Controller that is not officially supported), provide both definition and mapping xml files into the same zip file).



  • Provide any information (optional) about the Custom Mapper that would help VirtualDJ Team to review your creation. These info will not be visible in public.



  • Click on the Submit button

    [/list]


    Rules to follow :

    • Only submit once. if you submit the Add-on more than one time then all version will be removed and not considered. And then you can re-submit.

    • It is your responsibility to review the status of your submissions. There are notes that may be left in the description that need attention on your Add-on. Do not expect a comment to be placed in a forum thread. Once you have made the corrections, then simply remove the comment made in the Description field when you update your submission. If no corrections are made in a reasonable amount of time - the submission will be removed.

    • Do not submit any custom mapping file unless you provide information about the difference of your Custom mapping compared to the official/default one (can be included inside the zip file as a txt/pdf file or in the Comments for Review area)

    • Do not submit Custom Mappers that differ in just a couple minor Keys compared to the official/default one (e.g. a different color for the Pad LEDs).

    • custom definition files for officially supported MIDI Controllers will not be accepted.




    Notes:

    • Do not share your creations by providing public links (such as Dropbox and other Sharing media) in VirtualDJ forums. If you wish to receive any feedback from users, please upload your creation to the Add-ons page by marking it as Beta, or use Personal messages with Licenses users.
    • Open a topic in the Plugins Forum if you wish to get feedback, provide information or ask any questions about your Add-on.
    • Once your Custom mapper is uploaded, VirtualDJ Team will test and approve within a reasonable time (depending on the amount of submitted Addons) and will make the skin available in our Add-ons page.
    • VirtualDJ Team holds the right to reject your submission without notice, in case the submitted Add-on is not filling the requirements mentioned in each of the categories. In case you wish to ask any question regarding a rejected Add-on, please contact Support
    • Updates go through the same approval process as if you had the Add-on submitted for the first time. So if you update your Add-on, keep in mind that there may be a delay for them to be available.
