Could Algoriddim team or someone from the community provide some documentation, if not official reference on how to map hardware controller/mixer VU-meters on Djay ? Even if it means tweaking the mapping file with a text editor.
I could obtain results by copy-pasting from other mappings and change to my controller’s MIDI spec, but it doesn’t always work and I would like to understand the the logic fully.
More generally, some documentation on how to map LED feedback would be cool, again I tend to find my way but sometimes there are some headaches.
As far as I know midi mapping the VU meters is not supported. I asked the question about a year ago when I moved over from Traktor. I’m happy to be corrected if it’s changed since then.
Thank you @NathanielAlgo. I’m actually trying to map the Pioneer DDJ Rev1. I’m not far from something pretty usable.
My only difficulties are :
those Vu-meter LEDs,
the 3 FX selection buttons per side which are supposed to be lit either alternatively or in parallel when pressed together. Otherwise, could easily map the 4 decks + Neural Mix.
tracking feature does not seem to be present/mappable.
Transform is mapped right in the hardware and sends messages that move the line faders to cut, so no problem there.
However the tracking mode isn’t hardware controlled, I guess it would require Algoriddim to implement the scratch patterns in the software and provide a mapping entry.
I know you have some similar feature with SHIFT+scratch, so maybe it could be cool to provide more patterns and mappings for them to get a similar feature. I see you added some scratch courses. It’d make sense to add some of these scratching helper tools.
