Sorry! I just didn't know what category it would go in. Don't know if it's a mapper issue or just something stupid I am doing, so I was trying reach different people.

Hi,
just register your Professional Full license here: http://www.virtualdj.com/users/edit.html
and download the mapper from the Download section. Not that complicated.
Greets, Heiko
P.S: Nobody will send you a mapper by eMail beause this would be against the license agreement and nobody would like to use his payed license just because of you.

Attention to ALL DDJ-SX users:
As you may already know, when I initially wrote the mapper + definition file for the DDJ-SX I didn't had a unit available in front of me.
I finally bought a unit a few days ago and I was able to figure out why there was poor jog perfomance on some cases, plus a few other things.
So, I have updated my mapper today and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone that uses my mapper >>> LINK <<< to update ASAP.
Technical Info that you can ignore:
DDJ-SX (and similar controllers) handle their LEDs on a firmware level. For instance, while you actually see only 16 LEDs on the pads (8 per side) the firware of the device actually receives commands for 4 decks x 8 padmodes x 2 modes (shifted/plain) x 8 pads = 512 LEDS
VirtualDj WILL constantly send info (led status change) for all these LEDs even if you don't actually see them. For instance, when you are operating HOTCUE mode on deck 1, the SLICER led updates on the same deck are still send by VirtualDj on the unit.
So here's where the original problem with poor jog performance lies: There is a limit on notes polyphony that the MIDI protocol can handle. Above this limit, the rest of the notes get buffered and this causes breaked up performance.
The "solution" is quite simple as a concept: We need to instruct VirtualDj to control the various LEDs of the controller only when there's a need to be done. For instance we must instruct VirtualDj to controll the "SLICER" leds ONLY when we're on "SLICER" mode on a deck and not all the time.
That's EXACTLY what this mapper does!

I thoroughly enjoyed your technical info George.. hopefully now the beta is about to be released we will see more of you on here!

Not easy at all to do something like that though. I mean , ok, you can do that with some extra lines of mapping, but how the software can tell if a LED is "visible" or not ?
In other words, the software will always take care of ALL the LEDs, and we just need to see if we can provide some solutions with mapper actions.
But, anyways, that was a good solution George. Well done ;)

Fortunatelly, for the SX that was easy enough since the padmode buttons send midi messages.
Each padmode button sets a variable and this variable is now part of the leds illumination code.
We only care for the leds because it's computers midi output that reaches its max capacity and breaks performance.
PS: It's not the fact that VDJ controls too many leds at once that brakes performance. It's the fact that it might send too many midi out messages at once in its attempt to update the leds status.

Version 1.2.1 is UP!
I fixed a couple of "bugs" introduced with version 1.2 and I also re-included the User Manual.
Enjoy!

Thanks for this update.
I will report any issues after my stress test in the weekend.

This is just what I needed, Phantom. My number one complaint has always been the nasty jog dial response. I was on the verge of selling it until you came along with this update. It is so perfect now. Thank you so much.

You can't download or use mappings unless you're using the full Pro VDJ.

THANK YOU George for this mapper. It easily outperforms Serato! Latency and sound quality problems are history! The only thing I can't wrap my head around is the effects... is there a writeup for the basics somewhere? I'm sure this will be all changed with 8, but until then, BRAVO.

On mapper's download page the second icon will allow you to download an instructions PDF file.
Everything is explained in there...

I performed 2 shows live last weekend with the mapper. It's a success! I did have one crash while loading a video from Content Unlimited then simultaneously loading another local vid on the other deck: an old bug unrelated to the mapper. I have to say I like it. I was able to bring the sample rate for ASIO down to 256ms & 2 kernels with no lag. After having unpredictable audio levels and being unwilling to hand edit or rescan 100k files, I decided to change the gain to gain_relative in the mapper with autogain disabled in the options. Most files push right up to 0db anyhow, so that works well. Just have one request: is it possible to map the 1 &2 buttons above each channel to enable left or right effects (2 effects mode) on each channel (ie Serato style).? And also thinking about the possibility of some hotkeys for the 4 bank sampler plugin. Page + Sampler button would be killer! Once again, thanks! It was fun seeing the DJ envy last weekend with everything the SX, VDJ and this mapper can do together!

A bug I found in the latest mapper version.-:
When switching to deck 3 or 4, the "key lock" button does indeed work, but the led doesn't - it's always off.

Thanks for reporting that.
The code for the LED seems 100% right but I will test it ASAP
