Please help us with this. I’ve lost so many time trying to figure out how it is called in the MIDI mappings, I think it is a must have option!
Thank you
Like a lot of the midi commands a simple “select next”, “select previous” option would do it for me.
I have the panes up nearly all the time anyway and just being able to flick through would be a massive help.

Hi @daniel_curley, MIDI commands for Next View Mode and Previous View Mode are already available when you set the Target to General.

That option only takes you through the modes. Sampler looper etc.
I meant to switch between hot cues, loops, effects etc.
Not yet implemented in MIDI and it is something we have been eagerly awaiting in each update. Please note, @Slak_Jaw was asking for the same thing in the original post.
Definitely a quality-of-life feature that would make djay Pro more user-friendly (and it’s already friendly).
I know.
@Slak_Jaw wants to map each function to an individual to pad mode.
I am saying as I have the panel raised already I’d be happy scrolling through the functions like you would with the library.
A different approach to the original request but with the same goal to not have to touch the screen when you are working.
I’d take either option or any other way that could be suggested to avoid using my fingers.
Currently there is no way to select hot cue, loop, fx display panels from a controller on ios. (Buddy and Mixtour Pro excluded and also limited).
It would be a much better experience to able select or scroll through these options from a device rather than having to select with your finger on the screen.
If I were to load a new track I haven’t familiarised myself with yet I would first want hot cues, then I would like to select a saved loop and then an effect.
This would involve 3 or even 4 personal ineractions with the screen which I do not find pleasant while working.
Library navigation and selection can be done without the need to get “hands on” I believe the same could be done for the above mentioned functions and make the user experience a lot smoother.

When I first saw this on the Mixtour Pro, I also thought that it made a lot of sense and that there should at least be an option to activate automatic switching of the view. In addition, you could perhaps add the option of whether the switchover only takes place after the pad mode has been selected twice (as is now the case with the Mixtour Pro) or immediately on the first selection.

What do you know about these commands @Slak_Jaw?
They would appear to be somewhere in the region of what I’m looking for but when I assign them to various buttons nothing happens.
Hi @daniel_curley, yes, the commands were added a few releases ago, but had to be disabled as the engineering team found some issues with certain hardware. These remain the stepping stones towards adding this functionality in the future.

Reasons to be optimistic then.

This would have to be the biggest let down of DJAY PRO and such a pity for what’s otherwise a granted feature in every DJ software for years…

I have few requests for abilities to MIDI map the View modes management of the layout. My main aim is the iPad, but it can be made to be in harmony with the MacOS & Windows versions as well.
-
Direct MIDI action selection of the View Modes - “Hardware Mode”, “4 Decks”, (maybe Video, etc.) with a direct MIDI action.
Hardware Mode is awesome and use this one mostly, but I often need 4 decks display during a set and it’s inconvenient to go through the screen flow for switching this. There’s the action to cycle through the available “View Modes” but it’s annoying and makes me worry that the app may crash while playing (silly me
). -
MIDI Actions to switch on/off the mini-Looper / mini-File Browse / Tools panels (applicable to Hardware/Pro/4 Decks mode) as Direct actions - On/Off Mini-Looper; On/Off Tools; On/Off Mini-Library, similarly how the on-screen control work, but mappable to controller buttons through MIDI.
-
Properly functioning “Toggle *” actions in the “General → View” section. There are “Toggle Tools/FX/NM/etc” that work on Computer, but on iPad they do nothing.
On iPad, the Tools panel has NM/Cue/Loop/FX/EQ tabs, but we cannot select them from controllers. There are similarly named MIDI action commands, which work on the Computer version, and can possibly be enhanced to activate the 5 panels in the “Tools” tab as direct MIDI actions, and make it more consistent across computers and iPads.
Writing this in one request, as they are all related to the same application area - MIDI mapping. I hope many users will enjoy this set of MIDI mappable commands.
