I think it is not supported yet in VDJ as it is new unit. I could not find any info on that.
 
Damn.. are you serious DJ-ALF... Dj Norway said it was, that was one of my reason for getting the unit.. do u think the next version of VDJ will be compatible with it...?
 
damn you operate fast Swizzle ;) hehe

its supported in NEXT version of vdj, the controller is new... ;) It will be out promtly...

Sorry about that

As of today, you can map it manually, by midi, in VDJ
 
Wow u had me woried there for awhile Dj Norway.. I am gonna ask u for a big favor, how do I manually map this thing, i have no idea how to do that.. i am asking for your tutor services now..
thanks for throwing me a floatation device, i jus need a line to pull me ashore.. lol :-) help help...
 
hehe.. sure ;)


To map it manually do this :
- Enable MIDI on the Denon
- Enable General MIDI in VDJ controller tab (in VDJ settings)
- Go to keyboard shortcuts, and choose a function to map, and option to be used
- Press the button/knob on the Denon to assosiate with that
- Save

Repeat above, until you mapped out what you want

There will probably be other mappers too, made real soon from users, just as the Denon DN-HC4500 has it already ( http://www.virtualdj.com/addons/view.html?type=tool&page=1 )

Leds and display wont work (reading VDJ info, such as BPM) before the native built in support comes though ;)

btw, dont think I've ever said VDJ supported that Denon controller... but it will anyways;)

Maybe you read Denon saying it here:

Thanks Norway, I gonna follow your directions and see what happens, with my limited computer skills.. if I am I having anymore problems i will be hitting you up..
Even though you aren't gonna gimme a specific answer let me ask you this, do u think we'll be getting the new updated version of VDJ anytime soon?
 
yes it will be soon ;) at late stage of beta testing now, so unless some bug surface, it will be real soon :)
 
ok Norway, I appreciate the info.. i gonna try and map this thing..
 
Hey Norway, i know you re thinking to yourself that is simplest way to put it, but I am asking, can you put it any simpler for folks like myself who isn't that computer savy..?
 
It will be easier when Native support comes in VDJ, and a mapper too ;)
 
ok Alf.. how soon do you think that will be? before june or july?...

Nobody knows for sure, but not too long I hope ;)
 
Did you map it up yet Swizzle ?

If not, let me know, and I'll try get the Denon midi chart, and help you ;)
If you wanna try yourself, it fairly simple

Each button,knob and so on (that are midi), on your Denon deck, sends a midi code.
This code gets picked up by VDJ.

You do need to potentially install drivers from Denon, first. If so, you should have a program install CD.

When ready, all you need to do is this:'
1) Enable general midi controller, in VDJ controller option
2) In Keyboard shortcuts option, select a feature you want to map..
Say for example "PLAY". Locate that feature, and choose deck 1 and deck 2 according to what Denon controller you map (Guessing you have two).

3) When "shortcut" (feature to map) is choosen in VDJ, press the button to map it to. Denon will then send a signal to your PC, that VDJ gets.

4) continue to map... 1) - 3)


When done, save it :)



 
no I haven't mapped it yet... I am lost man.. i don't know what to do.. MK2 was easy its plug and play (I wish to god this was the same) ... i am at the point of pulling my hair out man... i would appreciate any assistance you can throw my way Norway
 
I'll try first see if you can do it yourself, as thats better... then you can tweak and change for own likings ;)

If you cant do it, I'll try make the XML mapper for you, but going to London for rest of week :(

Ok, back to mappings..

1) FIRST and most importantly install any midi driver etc that Denon might have supplied with the units. And set the Denons in midi mode.. Probably is such a switch button or something

2) Then ACTIVATE Genral Midi in VDJ (see picture)



3) at SAME screen choose the config part there (at General Midi), and choose function you want to map at the list, then choose CHANGE.



4) At the change dialogue page, press the button on Denon that you want to map it to, and Denon will send the signal to VDJ, and new midi value will show...




Hope that made a bit of sense :)


 

I think Rune, someone need's to write a guide (Simon...hehe) on how to Map out a midi device, I've just had a quick look and I can't found anything. It would be good to have a sticky on this.

Maybe you can do one when you get back from my Captial City. I Know you're never busy and you have all that time on your hands....lol ;)



 

lol ;) never busy.. that would be the day.. hehe ;)

Yeah, more guides and useful info will come on site soon, little by little... its the goal ;)
 
thank you for "Mapping made Easy" even a cave man could do it lol.. I am gonna get on it rite away.. thank alot man... i appreciate it... yes yes.. :o)
 
thanks for that tutorial.. it worked like u said it would Norway.. but I think I am gonna wait on the update from VDJ.. do u know if anyone mapped the Ecler EVO5 yet.. i am getting in the next few days?
