Topic: mapping problem with mc-6000

Hello,
I have made a custom mapping with mc-6000. The problem is that it seems that the some default mapper functions still gets triggered even though I have mapped them to something else. For example I have mapped SEARCH- and SEARCH+ buttons to key_move+-1 when SHIFT is pressed at the same time:

SEARCH- = var$shift ? key_move -1 : goto -1

SEARCH+ = var$shift ? key_move +1 : goto +1

Originally pressing shift+search buttons will toggle between vinyl and bend jog mode and it still happens! When I press
shift + search+ , the key moves 1 up but ALSO jog mode toggles to BEND. What is this? I don't want it to do so.

I seem to have this problem with some other buttons too, but only few of them, not all. How do I prevent original mapper functions to be triggered on mc-6000?

This is because SHIFT with these buttons are hardware mapped in the MC6000 firmware to toggle the jogwheel touch sensor on/off.

Even if you change the mappings, they will still perform this function, but VirtualDJ will then not match the same state as the hardware.

This is a hardware/firmware feature and cannot be changed,

Okay, is there some other firmware mapped functions? At least pressing SAMP button always toggles between cues and samples so mapping it to something else causes trouble. I would like to know the rest....

The following have special functions in the firmware:

SHIFT+PITCHBEND -/+ = Turns pitch lock on/off (Firmware-based 'soft' takeover for pitch sliders when changing between decks)

SHIFT+SEARCH -/+ = Pitch bend mode/vinyl mode

DECK = Toggles MIDI channel on left or right side of MC6000 to control alternative deck

SAMP = Toggles buttons between hot cues or samples 1-4.

SHIFT+BROWSER/SAMPLER/EFFECTS/RECORD = Changes MIDI channels of the MC6000 (Be careful not to press this by accident - MC6000 will only work with VirtualDJ on the default channels 1-4 - Press SHIFT+BROWSER to revert back to these.)
