How do we use this remapper? And which versions is it compatible with?
geposted Tue 26 Aug 08 @ 6:07 pm
The information provided by DJ Cel is the mapping of controls to an ID, you will still need to write the whole C++ plugin.
I would write a RMX mapper, but I don't have one I can use to do so :(

hey Scott, if it would help, you can borrow mine for a couple of weeks, or whatever time frame you need, on a cheeky proviso, if you could see if it were possible to use one of the jog wheels (preferably the right one) to control the video transitions for mixing, or if you know that isn't possible the offer is still there.

We have to write a script in C++ and compile it to a rmx.dll, wich stored in the Directory where VDJ installed - for Windows Vista
Quote :
C: Users USERNAME Documents VirtualDJ Plugins ControlDevice rmx.dll
After stored it in the Directory we have to bound in it, over the Settings==>Remote Device or so. I have a german Version an its called there Einstellungen==>Fernsteuerung.

Thats really my problem too! I never wrote a script in C++ before, only in PHP and MYSQL. But i will try it with the information in the forum.
I used MS Visual C++ Express Edition to Test with the following code from another user in this forum. He posted it a few month ago - i think it was on march - but DJCel answered to him, that he need a new header (DJCMapper2) to use this code for the new RMX. And now he posted this header above in this forum.
That is the Code he posted:

While Debugging that code VDJ open, but the program hang - so that i'm not able to steering with the beatskip-button on rmx. In the Options==>Remote-Device the GeneralMidi is colored red
show here:
![](http://666kb.com/i/b1l7rm2gdp49m811g.jpg)
With the compile function in MSVisual C++ i dont become the needed dll. Only 3 files wich named
debug_CLOOSHYBRO.dll.embed.manifest
debug_CLOOSHYBRO.dll.embed.manifest.res
debug_CLOOSHYBRO.dll.intermediate.manifest
So i dont know what to do next.
Hope that somebody help us ;-)

larsdaslandei - For me it's not the coding that is a problem, I've written a fair few plugins already, it's the fact I don't have an RMX ;)
Tayla,
Interesting offer, I'm not sure what you mean by controlling the video transition though - are you talking about using the jogwheel to select a transition, or actually perform it?
Regards,
Scott

Ok Scott! Thanks for your answer!
But its my problem now, because i want to code a device-plugin for the RMX. i really have the RMX ;-)
Perhaps you know how to build the needed dll-file?
geposted Wed 27 Aug 08 @ 7:50 am
sorry Scott i didn't explain myself properly, i mostly only use music vids, normally when i have deck 1 playing i like to crossover onto deck 2s video to mix them up or let the punters see which vid will be coming up next, but just now i can only do that with my mouse, thought it would be more useful and convenient using the right jog wheel to do this, but still have the master crossfader have it's functions when mixing. hope that explains it a little better, but i doubt it, lol.
geposted Wed 27 Aug 08 @ 8:16 am
Well you could use a shift-key with the jogwheel to perform a video crossfade, then decouple the a/v crossfaders so the video is not affected by the master crossfader until it passes the point you faded to with the jogwheel, whereby they then couple again?
Hows that sound? Confused? ;)

hehe, yes, be simpler for my hands and brain if jog wheel was the only thing that i needed to move, once again i forgot to mention that i have no use for the jog wheels as they are now, also while i got my cheeky head on would it be possible to assign both sets of six buttons to bring a square from the clip bank into the video window. thanks for your time on this Scott
geposted Wed 27 Aug 08 @ 8:45 am
Clipbank control is easy enough, should be able to set those buttons up so they can be toggled through various sets of functions - for example clipbank, loop, sampler, effects etc...
geposted Wed 27 Aug 08 @ 8:52 am
you are making my day scott, now there is just one other thing if you.... lol
geposted Wed 27 Aug 08 @ 9:12 am
Well theoretically I don't need the RMX to make the mapper, I can always build a test DLL and send it to you, repeat and rinse. I suggested the same thing to Bagpuss for a VCI-100 mapper as well.

Scott

you do realise your talking to a complete idiot when it comes to computers scott don't you, lol. as for the loan of the rmx the offer still stands if required.
geposted Wed 27 Aug 08 @ 9:42 am
Otherwise we have to wait for next mapper version from DJCel. I hope that last not too long :)
geposted Wed 27 Aug 08 @ 9:55 am
Well I've already started putting together a mapper...
If you lived closer Tayla I'd pop by and borrow your rmx lol

Hey scott!
If you need help or response to a beta of your new mapper, send the dll 4 testing and i would do it.
Pehaps you can send me a sniplet of the source code, than i can learn to prog in c++ too - only if you want to do. That would be nice.
