DJ Tech CDJ-101

You and your GIFs…!! LOL

Cool, that’s simple enough… thanks. What about making a backup / reverting to default settings??

just hit the bottom left button to revert back to the factory mapper, but you may want to backup the one you changed as that gets deleted.

very cool gif :smiley:

I couldn’t leave well enough alone as it is too good of an idea to not do… And I’m a crack baby lol :smiley:

this one has the crossfader implemented. to access it you need to hold the encoder button down for 5 seconds then release. To tell you that you are in crossfader mode the led will blink at a rate of once every half a second. The tricky bit is the way the deck focus changes and I’m not sure it’s the best way to do it but it will select the decks as shown below.

I also changed the pitch led to be on when the jog is in jog mode or scratch mode, it will blink 3 times a second if in filter mode or off in effects mode.

pitch slider
var ‘$crossfader’ ? crossfader & param_equal 0% ? deck right select : param_equal 100% ? deck left select : param_greater 50% ? deck right select : deck left select : param_smaller 25% ? set ‘$pitch_shift’ 0 & vinyl_mode 1 : param_smaller 50% ? set ‘$pitch_shift’ 1 & vinyl_mode 0 : param_smaller 75% ? set ‘$pitch_shift’ 2 & vinyl_mode 0 : set ‘$pitch_shift’ 3 & vinyl_mode 0

pitch led
var ‘$crossfader’ ? blink : var ‘$pitch_shift’ 0 ? on : var ‘$pitch_shift’ 1 ? on : var ‘$pitch_shift’ 2 ? blink 333ms : off

encoder button
holding 5000ms ? toggle ‘$crossfader’ : var ‘$pitch_shift’ 2 ? holding ? browser_window “songs” ? browser_window “folders” : browser_window “songs” : browser_window “songs” ? load : browser_window “folders” ? browser_folder : nothing : loop

I’ve never been able to get the led rings to light up or blink in VDJ. No problems in any other DVS, just VDJ. My scripts don’t seem to work for it. So I use them in Torq 2 and Traktor.

I tried the mapping in the GIF. Same issue. For those that can get their LEDs working, does my old mapping for them actually work?

any way of dumping out what actual midi is being sent by vdj? i’ve never had any issues with led’s on the cdj-101 but also don’t use vdj.

I have no idea if there’s a way to see what vdj is sending and receiving, in realtime or as a dump. It receives just fine, just doesn’t seem to be sending or the CDJ doesn’t understand it. No issues with a Versadeck, hercules dj console, or idj3 (which is busted, now). I suspect the CDJ is being seen partially as HID, because while deselecting MIDI under mapping causes it to stop working, the MIDI # assignment knob has no effect in VDJ.

That was it: the MIDI # assignment knob. Good grief.

Hey there folks, I saw your thread about the DJ Tech CDJ 101, I am interested in getting the VTT 101 with the smooth cross fader… I intend to use this piece of kit exclusively for creating and recording scratches by recording the Stereo Mix off my soundcard with either Audition or Cool Edit and then using Recycle to make a “pre-made” scratch file for Dr. Rex in Reason…

Is it possible to map the VTT 101 in Traktor?

I see that someone ~has~ gotten the CDJ 101 to work with Traktor, and has it able to make use of the touch sensing metal platter top, and there are TSI files made for the CDJ 101, but will that same TSI file work with the VTT 101, the model with the nice, loose crossfader (I wouldn’t be able to do quick cut outs with that pitch fader).

I mainly want to get this unit to use as a cost effective way to record scratches, which I would then individually select (keep the best ones that I’ve recorded through Stereo Mix using Audition or Cool Edit) - then toss my .wav file into Propellerhead’s Recycle, add slice points on the arrangement of scratches, and load the RX2 file of that in Dr, Rex player in Reason. I don’t need it for much else, just scratching.
