    i have time to help out today... if what u want right now is the notes sent out by the midifighter i have the info here:


    the format is add_grid_control(ROW, COL, MIDI-CHANNEL, "note", NOTE-NUMBER)

    led feedback is the same as the midi it sends out

    for the "hardware id's" i have this in my devices manager:

    USB\VID_2580&PID_0001&REV_0002&MI_00
    USB\VID_2580&PID_0001&MI_00
    couldn't find your link to miditrace but here's the raw output from pressing and releasing buttons one row at a time in normal mode, top to bottom, from my dump.exe:

    edit: you'll notice that my decode is an octave out from the official midifighter docs as they seem to use the (odd) traktor starting octave, which is one out of what most other apps seem to use. the raw is what you are intersted in i presume anyway

    I will thank you both as this will benifit me as well.. Just let me know when its availiable and Ill grab both and play with them and get you some feed back as well. My Midi is delayed but I couldnt get mad once I read this

    I must apologize, but our supplier of PCBs has hung us out to dry with a big error in their shipment to us. Due to that fact, we are quite behind in getting these MF orders out. Expect yours to ship next week. My apologies.

    Hey guys, im super interesting in this mapping, iv been working on basic mapping for my midi fighter but im struggleing a little bit, i was wondering if you guys could send me your mapping and any vst effects that i would need to run your mapping, i have some interesting ideas for things i would like to be able to do with the midi fighter so once iv had a play with your mapping i may be able to help work out some bugs and make some improvements.

    on a side note, does anyone know if you use recorded triggers with vdj... for example, if i played a sample on the 4th beat in the song and i want this sample to play on every 4th beat though the rest of song, does anyone know if this is possible and if so could you help me programme it into the midi fighter.

    thanks alot guys =]

    I'm still working on one that uses only vst's, but I'm having trouble finding a suitable roll effect that works flawlessly.. If you have a vdj pro licence you can download the effects from the vdj forum (unfortunately I won't be giving these away due to the wishes of the creators of the plugins and atomix productions).

    I have a basic mapper that covers the masher, a 4 grat effects, slicer, couple of cues and transport that I made to work with both mac and pc that will be uploaded today. I am honestly just waiting for the masher and it will be finished with everything in the picture, but i'll quickly edit the one i'm uploading to virtualdj.com to loop instead of roll.

    The closest I have come is instajungle version 1, if you could download and report back on whether it works properly on a different system that would be very handy. In all my tests it will only work on deck 2 if deck 1 isn't loaded with a track...

    to make instajungle work turn it on and move the 1st slider past 50% to
    engage the roll, and slider 5 to change the roll size.

    On the side note... you cant do that natively as vdj doesn't have automation yet, but if you are good at computer coding in c++ you could make a plugin that retriggers anything you would want, as vdj has verb

    get beat_num 1 16 ? action if true : action if false

    which will only return true if on the first beat of each 4 bar section

    the other way around it is just to record a sample loop that is 16 beats long with silence where you want it, then just loop the sample

    this is my problem right now, i have a full liscenced version of traktor pro, and a LE lisence (with full vdj7) that i got w2ith my vestax typhoon, but because of how expensive vdj is compared to traktor i want to make sure it is able to perform as i want it before i invest.

    could you please give me the link for the basic mapper please, mostly so i can use it as a base to work from,

    thanks

    did you try instajungle on your system?

    there are a million copies of it on the web (legit site is down)

    just place the dll in [user --> virtual dj --> plugins --> sound effects]

    I should mention it will only work on windows, you cant use vst's in vdj on OSX...

    ...but what specifically did you want vdj to do, it is capable of an enormous amount of things.

    i'm in the same situation pretty much. own traktor pro 2 and the 'le' version of vdj that came with my hercules mk2. i do like the idea of buying vdj for all it's expandability potential - but the price seems pretty steep.

    i'd quite like to own a copy in addition to traktor - not instead of tho.
