Hello together,

ich have a little problem.
The the vdj embedded coding for the vci-100 is pretty good, but i want to make it for me a little bit more individual.
So i take the mapper from the download area and adjust it for me.

But now i've got a little problem, i couldn't find the answer.

How must i set up to see a button, green/activ or orange/passive and see the for example the sync button flash with the beat?

Hope you can help me

THX
Haui

The General MIDI features of VirtualDJ is for receiving information from a device. VirtualDJ does not 'send' MIDI signals so you can not make lights turn on or off (or blink).

Thank's for your answer.

But why it works, if i use the vci100 mapper inside VDJ (Config -> controllers -> vci100)?

There must be a trick, because with my self setup under General MIDI there is no change - i see - to switch on button lights!
Can you explain me the difference?

Is there any change to see the VDJ-inside xml document?
I only want to make it a little personel, the most settings are right!

You are crossing 2 things - native support and MIDI support.

Native support (Remote Control tab -> VCI-100 icon) - with the native support where a custom coded mapper is written using programming code ( C++ ) you are able to receive information from a controller and send information to the controller using code.

MIDI support (Remote Control tab -> General MIDI icon) - VirtualDJ's MIDI environment is a MIDI input only capability where VirtualDJ can receive information (Notes or Control Codes) from the controller but not send information to the controller.

Ahhh, that the point!
Now i understand, thx!

But sorry, i dont give up.
I want to have the full options. :-)

If i find somebody or learn it by myself to make a own Remote Control tab, is it possible to put in my VDJ programm?
I don't have a problem to share it with the community!

And what are the premises.
Can i have codes?
Are you my contact person for further steps or my support?

THX for your time!

Best regards
Haui

LED support is only available to a proper plugin, it presently cannot be done via the MIDI window. For this you'll need programming skills, most code them in C++. You can't really customise the native support without doing this.

I was going to write a full blown VCI-100 mapper, but I haven't had access to a unit unfortunately.

It is possible to do it remotely and have someone test it over and over, but obviously this would take time.
