if you made a definiion file or have one available, you could just define different channels that eack controller operates on by adding a little to the xml file eg.
this would all be the same button, but you would need to change the whole definition for each button.
****TRANSPORT****
for controller 1
<button note="0x00" name="play" channel="1" deck="1" />
for controller 2
<button note="0x00" name="play" channel="2" deck="2" />
for controller 3
<button note="0x00" name="play" channel="3" deck="3" />
for controller 4
<button note="0x00" name="play" channel="4" deck="4" />
****VIDEO FX****
for controller 5
<button note="0x00" name="cube" channel="5" />
****AUDIO EFFECTS****
for controller 6
<button note="0x00" name="beatgrid" channel="6" />
****SAMPLER****
for controller 7
<button note="0x00" name="sample 1_1" channel="7" />
for controller 8
<button note="0x00" name="sample 1_2" channel="8" />
for controller 9
<button note="0x00" name="sample 1_3" channel="9" />
for controller 10
<button note="0x00" name="sample 1_4" channel="10" />
that is set up so you would have the following groups
1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - transport
5 - video fx
6 - audio efects
7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - sampler
if you do it in notepad or wordpad using find and rename it should less than 20 minutes, then when that is done make sure the corresponding controller is on the correct channel as most midi devices operate on 16 channels, then you can just map the different groups.
for things like video and audio effects you would need to designate the deck in the mapping, but for the transport group you would only need to map all of them together once as vdj thinks they are all the same big controller, just the buttons operating on different channels
