Not sure if this should go here but I think it's a controller issue...
I have been testing V8 on my backup laptop for a few days with my VMS4.1 and it has been going well. In fact I was going to gig with it tomorow night.
However, all of a sudden one of my deck faders (CH1) is not responding.
Go back to V7 and it's fine.
Tried following the instructions to clear all xml files from Documents\VirualDJ\Mappers and \Devices but there is nothing in them anyway.
Any ideas guys?
Think I'll have to go with V7 for gigs :-(

Up date to my post above:
De installed VDJ 8, tested VDJ 7 all ok, Re Installed VDJ 8 from original installer and tested all ok,
Update carried out and accepted and fault instantly re appeared (Deck 1 fader not responding).
Conclusion: There is an issue with the latest update?

Update: Not so sure I have just closed and re opened VDJ 8. Refused the update and the same fader is now non responsive again.

PC or MAC ?
Will investigate further...


Laptop WIN7 home premium 32bit 4GB RAM, nVideogtm330, BCD3000, Novation Launchpad and the DJ-Tech IMIX Reload

Allready tried different jogwheel values such as 0.1 0.5 0.25 0.125 1.0 1.5 2.0 and also tried different jogwheelsensitivity settings.

Jogwheel allways controls half a rotation of the vdj player maximum and than stops any control until i release and touch them again

i remember the native mapping from v7 had issues with the touchwheels

are there still different mapping possibilities for a jogwheel/ touchwheel, as in v7 ?

is there any setting you recommend, that i could try out on my end ? would be cool to give v8 a thorough test over the friday, saturday

thanks tremendous for your assistance

Yes. Sandbox can only be activated when using the internal (software) mixer. Your controller needs an external (hardware) mixer setup to work. Therefore you can't use sandbox while it's connected


Sorry I have a denon dn- hc5000 controller with a denon dn-x500 mixer

This action is ok???

because by selecting the roll so the effect is activated, then remove the part q vìbastara pointed them?

Guys, please if you have any issues with a specific controller, please open a new thread. We cant really follow and read issues with so general title and everybody posting here all kind of issues.


@Advokut, please open a new thread.. We dont have the controller here, so we may have to take a closer look via Teamviewer.

In version 8 a lot of VDJ Script commands have changed.
Espesially commands regarding your controller's mixer part.
Also, the browser has changed significantly (there's no "sampler" page anymore, no "effects" page e.t.c.

The default (native) mappers for supported devices have been updated to reflect these changes.

However if you are using a custom mapper you either need to tailor it to be v8 compatible, or start from the official (native) v8 mapper and re-tweak your changes.

Before you report that a controller is not working as it should please make sure that you are using the default native mapper.

In order to do so:

1) Close VirtualDj
2) Visit your VirtualDj\Mappers folder
3) Create a subfolder named "Backup"
4) Move all XML files from the "Mappers" folder inside the "Backup" folder
5) Visit your VirtualDj\Devices folder
6) Create a subfolder named "Backup"
7) Move all XML files (if any) from the "Devices" folder to the "Backup" subfolder
8) Start VirtualDj 8

If your controller still has issues with it's mapping then please use this thread to report them.

Thank you!



If i decide to use vdj 7.4.1 again, do i move those mappers back or will it read them from the "back up " folder?

The Backup folder is not some kind of a special folder, its a simple "Backup" folder to save/backup your files. You could of course save them anywhere else in your computer.
And yes, if these files are required for version 7 to use the controller, you ll need to put them back.

When controller is detected after opening VDJ, it causes problems like missing crossfader and no audio.

I'm going to confirm that iON Discover DJ (Not Pro) works flawlessly. Thumbs up to Atomix! Now we just need the Mac full screen spaces thing to work instead of just using up the main desktop.

Hope someone can help, I have a pair of Denon DN-SC2000 controllers, since installing 8 only the left deck works there is no response from the right hand deck as all, I have look at the settings on the controller in the config and as far as I can see everything is as it should be. Any ideas on what I can do? (the decks work perfectly on v7)

*********** NOW SOLVED, on the controller the is a deck a, deck b switch, in version 7 you had to change the one of the controllers to deck b, in version 8 leave both the controllers as deck a (blue light) and they both work perfect :) **********

Then why did one of the other Atomix guys - PhantomDeejay - create this thread?
