I have uploaded a mapper and definition file.

The mapper was designed as an add-on for your existing controller with sound card. It does not have transport or volume controls for the decks, but does have the following features:
The mock-up diagram does not show all the features, but can give you the basic idea. All LEDs that were used for this mapper are customizable as well.
Have some fun with it!!!

I had the launchpad but took it back as it was good but needed a few things to make it great. It would be a great toy for visualation buttons and other stuff. Instead I got the apc 4o as it had better volume controls and some dials and other stuff that can be used to be the dials for the effect .. just the cross fader in it is worth the extra money.. the idea of what he programed it with was the reason I went at the apc.. Im looking at making changes before I release the notes.. Thanks for this posting and help...

I have to agree as it is hard to replace a physical fader with a series of buttons (something just doesn't feel right about it). Hence the reason that this was mapped as an add-on device. If you need a few extra buttons, this will work directly out of the box with the mapper and def file.
You can pick these up fairly cheap new, or purchase gently used. A lot of people got intimidated trying to set it up with Abelton or didn't have the patience to learn the software. You'll see classified ads that say things like "used once" or "didn't have time to use it".

At the recent BPM show in the UK, I spotted this:
It's a Tweaker by Electrix. It kinda sits between the Launchpad and the APC40 - except for price. It's £350.

I'm a Numark Cue user and am unable to install the mapper using the installer file. I get "Install failed with error: -6" when running the installer app on OS X 10.8.1. The only difference I've found with Cue vs VDJ is the plugin path is ~/Documents/Numark Cue rather than ~/Documents/VirtualDJ. I've managed to install audio effect plugins without issue using the correct path.
If fixing the installer to work with the Cue branded version is too much effort, any chance I could get just the mapping files to install manually? I'm dying to use my Launchpad as a control surface for VDJ.

Download and install Home Free version of VirtualDJ from here.. http://www.virtualdj.com/download/free.html
Then try to download the plugin again.
Once installed in VirtualDJ folder, manually copy the files to Cue folder.
Hope that helps

I downloaded, installed and everything worked as advertised, the mapping triggers the various effects, loops, samples etc. But when its used the Ableton Live, you press the button below to deactivate the working button. Once I activated a sample or effect i had to go back into the software to turn it off. It may seem obvious, but how do you stop a key once started? You should write a sort of simple quick start guide for us so we can get to grips with the mapping straight away. I get the impression you have done a great job and spent a bit of time creating this, so it would be fantastic to have a walk through. Haven't done one for Traktor as well have you ;-)

I apologize for that. I simply have not had enough time to get a walk through together as it was something that I was intending to do.
The sampler buttons are mapped as play_stutter so it's not an on/off kind of trigger. However, down the right side of the controller is the vertical section of round buttons. You'll notice that when you trigger a sample, the one marked pan (2nd one down) will start flashing red. That is your sampler kill that will stop all triggered samples.

Hi is there any mirror for this? I wanted to try out the launchpad with virtual dj 7, I can't download it due to me not remembering the account that I created the licence with so no mappers for me whatsoever.
It's killing me mapping them out seperately, can you lend a hand and whap it over email? I'd be happy to pay.
Thanks
Sam

If you do have a Pro VDJ license and a serial number, why not contact Atomix support with the details and they should be able to help.

Your version of Virtual DJ (LE) will only work with the controller it came with - so even if you could download the mapping, you wouldn't be able to use it.
On the other hand, Virtual DJ 8 has native support for the Launchpad. You will however need to buy a license in order to use it.
