Craving for midi mapping Denon MC3000 for Rekordbox

Hi guys ,

This is now couples weeks that I am looking for the midi mapping for my Denon DJ MC3000 to play on Pioneer rekordbox (I am guessing the one of MC4000 or MC6000 could work as well).

I always used Traktor and it works well, but Pioneer Rekordbox got a better music management, few things that I would love to try.

The midi map for traktor is .tsi, I got some midi mapping for virtual dj as well in .midimap. But rekordbox is expecting a file .csv. Please can anyone help me to find this file ? I looked everywhere online (even in PioneedDJ) but It was impossible to find for me

I thanks in advance every tip that can help me

John

Even if you find or create one by yourself you won’t be able to map your jog wheels… Yup, they locked out essential commands like that to their own controllers…

Oh damn, that’s silly … Thanks a lot for this information Indeed you are right, in the midi pannel of rekordbox, they propose various commands but no Low, medium, high or filter …

I wanted to get a different experience than traktor, so I tried rekordbox and Serato. But after hours looking for mapping files and how to trick the applications to make them work, I see it s way to complicated

So last thing I can do is to try to find a better music manager than itunes, with multi-tag (proposed by rekordbox)

There is a thread somewhere around here about hacking the jogs, but without doing some custom work, those jogs wont work at this time.

Yeah indeed, it’s: http://djtechtools.com/2017/05/08/hack-rekordbox-use-controllers-jogwheels/

But it’s pretty complicated and dunno if this could work in my mac with my setup. I can’t even find the midi map in .CSV for rekordbox without the jog, and I have a deficient fader so I can’t use the learn function of the midi mapper …

Any gonna stick to traktor and try this solution

Yeah its a bit of work. You need to map pretty much everything else, then go back and modify for the jogs. If I had an MC3000 on hand, I would create one for you.

Tks a lot man.

I followed the topic “How To Hack Rekordbox DJ To Use Any Controller’s Jogwheels” and understood how to trick the system to make it visible in rekordbox.

I got now 1 file extracted from resources of the app, it’s the midi mapping of PIONEER DDJ-SX.midi.csv that I renamed as MC3000.midi.csv. And I got a file that I dl during my long researches on the subject, it’s the mapping for serato Denon MC3000.midi.xml.

The hardest part is to report the hexa number. I discover than 9043 and 9243 are the Play/pause in deck 1 and 2. But to find the others number and the output number it’s

Thats amazing! If you get it working, please let me know. I would love to have that mapping to share.

I finally made it works. I am currently mapping individually the buttons and knob.

Do you know by any chance how to combine 2 buttons ?
Exemple in traktor to delete CUE1: I press SHIFT + CUE 1, but here I cant map 2 buttons in the same time, it’s either SHIFT or CUE1…

Any ideas ?

[MrChill]

I mapped most of the tricks, without the one we need 2 buttons, and one of the most basic thing:

Unfortunately there are no modifiers, so if the controller’s shift button is just a midi button and not an actual layer shift button, than it wont work.

[Stewe]

With a little help of Bomes MIDI Translator you will be able to setting up Shift button with ease

Super cool peace of software.

That’s isn’t a big problem, I don’t delete cue that often. When there are set, I keep them in. Even I don’t use them all the time. I have been able to map the 8 cue in the 4 buttons, that’s was a great news )

Indeed I tried to use it but this app is way to complicated. I have no idea what is the value, the note and so on …

I spent hours mapping my controller to have fun and don’t want to spent more hours just for a function (delete cue number) that I may use 3 times a year. So that s ok for now. But thanks for the tip tho.

Hi,

I finally mapped most of it, and it works well. But it was impossible to map MIDI out, even when I followed my MC3000 guide in hex, the controller didn t show any light. At list I got the commands that’s the most important …

[Stewe]

Isn’t the “jog turn” mapping command still locked out and exclusive only to Pioneer controllers?
If so, what’s the point of using MC3000 with Recordbox DJ?

It is not, I finally mapped it.
The point was to use my actual controller to try this application sightly different than traktor

Hey John

Any chance you could email the mapping to me?
