I've been spinning since 1990 and have been through all sorts of genres. However for majority of the time I have been heavily into Drum n Bass and Chicago House and those are my main stay of music. However I like all music which is outside mainstream and pop. I've also produced for many years on and off since 1996. Recently since late 2008 I have created a record label called Mixtura Records with my partner in crime Smokingroove. www.mixturarecords.com www.pazngroove.com However my career is not producing or DJing. I have no patience for the professional DJ world as I make much more money as a Technical Director for Flip Media which is the largest online interactive agency in the Middle East. I currently reside in Dubai with my wife Natasha, although we hail from Toronto, Canada and have also lived in Amsterdam, NL for 8 years before progressing to the hot arid concrete jungle of Dubai.

Hey all,

I've been mucking about with my Xone 3D for about a month now and I simply love it's control surface. Soundcard leaves more to be desired, but its good enough to just take the lappie and mixer and plugin!

Anyhow, I've spent quite some time working on a midimap which suits my preferences and thought i should share with the community.

This is version 1 of the midimap and comes complete with the template overlays. You can download both the xml file and 1:1 overlay image here:

The labels in blue are for pushbuttons and the labels in green are the knobs. Hopefully some of you will find this usefull. Because there are so many control surfaces and so many options in VDJ, I mapped the ones that I find usefull in my mixing adventures.

NOTES (Wishes):
- the loop select should allow a value or increment so you can use a knob or button to increment the values instead of the stupid popup which is useless if you dont want to lunge for your mouse
- the load_sample function should have a '0' value which allows you to load the currently select sample on deck X. this would allow me to cut the number of buttons down to just one knob for select and one knob for load...
