Nimbus where are you
 
The default mapper of the C60 has no effect slots. Its mapped to select/activate the default slot, meaning that you should be able to select/trigger any of the effects listed in the EFFECTS page of Browser.
You can reset the mapper to factory settings in the COnfig-->Mappers tab. Select the C60 from the top list, and choose the Reset button from the bottom.

Ok this controller mapping are actually not done very well. The mapping that comes with it is all messed up. but the only mapper that has most of the function correct is the mapping for the Akiyama Tempest ported to the Voxoa C60 but the effects slots mapping need to be redone and I know nothing about it. should i upload the mapping and someone tell me what lines to change?
 
Have you tried porting the mapping from the Stanton DJC.4?? I would figure that'd be the closet.
 
Are you sure you are using the default mapper and not some other ? Make sure no files are placed in Documents\VirtualDJ\Devices and in Documents\VirtualDJ\Mappers and relaunch VirtualDJ

It is not recommended to use a mapper file of another device. The names of the keys may be different and not work at all or partial. If you need to import some actions from one mapper to the other better use the Mapper tab of COnfig, choose to show all Devices, copy actions from one mapper and paste them to yours.

Particularly the mapper of the DJC4 has totally different approach especially for the FX sections as it uses effect slots instead of the default one.
 
Yes the default mapping is not right...for ex: effect on activate flanger...eff 1 does nothing, eff 2 does nothing, eff 3 triggers sample 1. Effect select does nothing. im lost and have a gig saturday...
 
The default mapping works as follows:

Knobs (left -> right): FX select, FX param 1, FX param 2, Sampler Volume

Buttons (left -> right): FX activate, FX button 1, FX button 2, Sampler Play/Stop

I.e: Use the first knob to select the effect and the button below to activate it. Use next two knobs to control the effect's parameters. Use the two buttons below to press the effect's first two buttons (If it has any.)

If you wanted to use FX slots instead, then the following should work (Modifying the default mapping):

Knobs:

FX SEL: var '$shift' ? effect 1 slider 2 : effect 1 slider 1
FX_PARAM1: var '$shift' ? effect 2 slider 2 : effect 2 slider 1
FX_PARAM2: var '$shift' ? effect 3 slider 2 : effect 3 slider 1
FX_PARAM3: var '$shift' ? effect 4 slider 2 : effect 4 slider 1

Buttons:

FX_ON: var '$shift' ? effect 1 select +1 : effect 1 active
FX_BUTTON1: var '$shift' ? effect 2 select +1 : effect 2 active
FX_BUTTON2: var '$shift' ? effect 3 select +1 : effect 3 active
FX_BUTTON3: var '$shift' ? effect 4 select +1 : effect 4 active

Use SHIFT + button to select the effect assigned to each slot (If you are not using a skin that has multiple effect slots, use the EFFECTS tab of the skin to see which effect you are selecting.)

Use the knob to control the parameter #1 of each assigned effect. SHIFT+knob to control parameter #2.
 
ok how do i add left deck, right deck.... those seem to be setting both decks the same way
 
You shouldn't need to specify deck left/right as that is determined by the definition file built into the software. The effects knobs by default will change both decks parameters until you activate both decks effect at the same time. It has been noted to the team in the wishes and VIP forums, so hopefully it will be resolved so that effects parameters are independent by default in VDJ8... if it ever gets released :[

ok had to reset the mapper...which file do i modify the midi xml or the hid xml..and do i have to delete anything
 
another question...when i press the the folder select button it open the folder and i can select tracks but when i want to go back and scroll to another folder i have to click back to the folder section with the mouse. Is there a map i can do with Shift-track select to revert bact to folder browser.
 
something like this should do it:

var '$shift' ? browser_window "songs" : browser_folder

if that isn't what you are after you might need to paste in the mapping that you have as my laptop with VDJ dead :(

it seems tha this thread is starting to be nice i have a thread called slow bpm rap that can be closed and continued here.
 
deck left set_bpm 50%

deck right set_bpm 50%

ok i mapped this to the 2 fx buttons above pitch slider i dont use. how do i make it so i can hit shift with desired button and double the bpm?
 
var '$shift' ? deck left set_bpm 200% : deck left set_bpm 50%

var '$shift' ?


I take it that that phrase indicates a shift action.
 
It is a conditional variable. VDJ evaluates the condition as either true or false and acts accordingly. In this case the variable being evaluated is set eleswhere in the mapping and just so happens to be called 'shift' but it could be named 'banana' or 'cereal' or anything you like to describe what it does. The '$' dollar sign prior to the variable name makes the variable global, meaning when activated it will affect all decks instead of the local deck that the control is defined to operate on.

Conditional variables go further than just variables that you set, you can use anything that will evaluate true/false "which is everything" eg

query ? true : false

play ? doSomething : doSomethingElse

var '$shift' ? deck left set_bpm 200% : deck left set_bpm 50%
 
51%
