Topic: vdj 6+ kdj500 jog wheel problems

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I Just picked up a kontrol dj KDJ500 controller and am deciding on buying Virtual Dj 6, right now im setting up my contoller on the demo version. everything seems to work flawlessly, except for the jog wheels! i can get them to jog in only 1 direction like a fader, VDJ doesnt seem to recgonize them as wheels. If this issue can be fixed than i would defintly buy the full version, because the rest of the software works incerdibally well with my controller. please help!

A controller definition is ideally required to describe the capabilities of the controller and to allow it to work optimally: http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/ControllerDefinitionMIDI.html

However, you may be able to get the jogwheel to work with Simple MIDI wrapper by using the following:

param_greater 50% ? jog_wheel +0.1% : jog_wheel -0.1%

that definatly worked! however the jog wheel only controllers the deck that is playing. how can i define each jog to their respective deck? i tried placing 'deck 1' infront of the code but that didnt seem to make a difference

You would need to add deck 1 in front of each action, e.g:

deck 1 param_greater 50% ? deck 1 jog_wheel +0.1% : deck 1 jog_wheel -0.1%

With a proper controller definition, you can tell the software that the controller has two decks, making this unnecessary.

If they are endless encoders (No min/max stopping points), then:

param_greater 50% ? browser_scroll +1 : browser_scroll -1
