HERE IS THE DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE MAPPER:

VIRTUAL D.J., ATOMIX PRODUCTIONS
Numark MIXTRACK ACP’s Midi Mapper
(2 Virtual Decks – No Inputs)


• Mapper Device:
Numark MIXTRACK D.J. Software Controller.

• Author:
Alejandro Castillo Peláez - “D.J. Castol”.


• Description:
An alternate and convenient mapper of the “Numark MIXTRACK D.J. Software Controller” for users of the “Virtual D.J.” software. This mapper will allow the user to perform with “user friendly” features on the controller including accurate “Hot Cues”, “Effects”, and “Loops” management among others. The LEDs on the device have also been programmed to activate on a BPM basis according to the software’s 4/4 “Beat Bar” in order to enable the controller to simulate a “Mini Light Show”.

• Source:
This mapper is based on Virtual D.J. 7’s bundled programming file. The mapper’s actions have been programmed in such a way that the user can actually get the best out of the software’s features throughout the controller; therefore, some of the functions will not match the actual labels printed on it.

Hello, I just recently purchsed the full version of VDJ and am using Mixtrack Pro. Can you please help me to install your new mapper settings so that I can use the mixtrack pro with four decks? I am completely new to this and dont want to mess up any of my default settings. I've saved your latest mapper setting in my pc documents. I just need to know how to upload them into VDJ.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
Dj Dominic
