YESSSSSSSSSS!
Only took 6 years
Sorry to ressurect an old thread, but does anyone know if this still works?
Iâm trying to change the Djay2 mapping for my WeGO3. Iâve followed the instructions and have created a custom map via Djay Pro, renamed the file to remove the âeditâ,dropped this into Djay2âs File Sharing in iTunes and restarted the app yet it doesnât seem to make any difference. I do not get any error messages but then the file doesnât seem to do anything in file sharing - should it disappear when uploaded?
Any advice gratefully received.
Okay, so it does workâŚfor NEW maps. I created a custom map for my DJ2GO dropped it into file sharing and it works perfectly with Djay2. However, my custom map for my WeGO3 just wonât work so Iâm wondering if Djay2 doesnât over write existing maps for controllers that are natively supported.
Is anyone out there listening, am I rambling to myself - it has been 3 mths!
Have emailed
Have emailed again btw - just in case itâs stuck in your spam folder!
So initial attempts using a custom edited version of the actual djay2 map for the WeGO3 extracted from the app itself have proved fruitless. So itâs looking like theyâre locked and cannot be overwritten via file sharing. I wonder if custom maps for unsupported controllers can be overwritten once initially loaded. May as well give it a try.
In the meantime, looks like Iâll have to down the jail breaking route, which will have to wait as Iâm on iOS 8.2
Frustrating.
Sorry to resurrect this, but Iâve carried out all the steps mentioned above to the letter, but when I try to install the edited version via iTunes sync, the app loads up to about 8 oâclock progress and then the icon disappears from my iPad, note the icon appears without the DJay icon graphic, itâs just plain. I tried it with another random app and it loaded up fine.
If I delete the edited version and re-download from iTunes and sync again it installs fine.
Any idea what Iâm doing wrong?
Iâm using DJay 2 not DJay Pro if thatâs relevant.
No it does not need to be jailbroken.
-
Open iTunes.
-
Click View > More > Apps from the menubar.
-
Right Click the DJay app and then hit âshow in finderâ
-
Rename the File extension to .zip instead of .ipa
-
Extract Files.
-
Navigate to the âPayloadâ folder, right click and âshow package contentsâ
-
Now navigate to the Midi Mappings folder.
-
Delete the Default mapping you wish to remove.
-
Re-zip the extracted main folder and remove old version.
-
Re-name your new Zip it exactly as the old file was before (including extension)
-
Remove the App from the Ipad / Phone manually.
-
Sync Your Device apps with iTunes.
Well, I couldnât get this to work on DJay 2 and have just wasted my money buying DJay Pro only to find it wouldnât work with that either. It just seems like âtamperingâ with it triggers something that stops iOS accepting it. Perhaps thereâs been updates since it worked aboveâŚor Iâm doing something wrong.
However, in amongst the latest maps I noticed a WeGO4 mapping. Probably be announced at BPM later this weekend.
Firstly, I appreciate the responseâŚthis has been an issue driving me nuts for a long while.
In answer to your questions - Iâm using latest versions of iOS, iTunes & OSX and the app icon appears as a blank icon with no DJay graphic, loads to about 8 oâclock then disappears completely on the iPad but remains in âInstallingâ status in iTunes. Itâs a supported controller (WeGO3), but judging by what youâve advised the problem may well be what I zipped - I zipped the lot, not just the content. Iâll try again a bit later this evening.
Thanks again helping out.
Iâm pretty sure that doesnât work as DJay will prioritise the inbuilt map over any new one that is added via iTunes file transfer.
Okay, so IâŚ
1.) Changed to .zip
2.) Extracted files
3.) Opened âPayloadâ folder
4.) Right-clicked âdjay 2â selected âShow Package Contentsâ
5.) Removed WeGO3 map from âMidi Mappingsâ folder
6.) Zipped âiTunesArtworkâ+âiTunesMetadata.plistâ+âMETA-INFâ+âPayloadâ - so 2 files, 2 folders, respectively
7.) Renamed âarchive.zipâ to âdjay 2 2.8.2.ipaâ
8.) Deleted everything else
9.) Tried to install via iTunes
This is where it fails. The DJay icon appears and says âloadingâŚâ to about 6 oâclock, then âInstallingâŚâ to about 9 oâclock then the icon just disappears. The Sync completes however iTunes still states the apps is âinstallingâ.
Tried with DJay Pro with exactly the same result.
Iâm lost! Could I still be zipping the wrong things? Am I zipping wrongâŚIâm right-clicking and using âCompressâ ?
iOS v9.3.5
DJay 2 v2.8.2
iTunes v12.4.3.1
El Capitan v10.11.6
So when I extract the zipped file it creates the âdjay 2 2.8.2â folder, which contains the 2 files/2 folders mentioned above. So to be clear, once Iâve completed all the other steps I just select that folder alone and compress it, nothing else? Not that folder AND the content of it?
Thatâs amazing, thank-you. Shame I have to wait about 12 hours to try itâŚ!
Just closing out the loop, it didnât work for me either, no matter what combination of files/folders I zipped. Most had a blank icon and loaded to about 8 oâclock, the nearest I got was when I zipped JUST the content which resulted in the actual DJay graphic appearing but only getting to 9 oâ clock.
Iâm using the smaller iPad Pro but will give it a try on my iPhoneâŚ
So frustrating!
No joy 
This is really still a topic? Oh well, I would also like to request the ability to midi map my ios Djay app as I am a professional dj who uses a wego 3 for small gigs, most of the time with VDJ8 and sometimes with Djay 2 on my ipad. I would gladly use Djay more often if I could tweak some of the mapped controls to more closely match my primary software. Then again, this is a 3-year-old thread so I guess Iâll not hold my breath.
Bro, Iâm totally with you because I been meaning to to the same thing with my wego3. Wouldnât be surprised if no one is listening, though, because obvious suggestions and fixes donât ever get implemented and no one ever gets a reply on these forums.
In summary, I canât use this program with my WeGO 3 on the iPad because I canât remap the controls to match the remapping I did with Djay Pro on my Mac. This makes zero sense. Donât reply, algoriddim, these persistent, logical requests that go unacknowledged provide entertainment to my sick brain.
DJ Ivan - USB hub. I actually donât mind the WeGO 3 but was annoyed that I couldnât remap some of the knobs and buttons to my liking even if only to match the way I remapped the darn thing in djay Pro on my MBP. Thatâs how asinine these guys are. If, like me, you map the mid eq knob to the filter in djay Pro and would also like to do that on your iOS version of djay, you arenât allowed. Cheers.
Yeah but then they wanna be cute and lock down all their natively supported devices like the wego3. You remap it on the Mac then it ignores the map on the iOS device even after you import it.
