Topic: VMS4 Mapping Trouble

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.


I moved and when I re-plugged my VMS4 controller to my new place I noticed that I lost my previous VMS4 controller mapping??? I tried downloading the 2 VMS4 mappers under the download/controller section but when I activated the Mapper section I only found the "Keyboard" mapping on the VDJ software....can anyone can help me???

Did you put the xml mapper file in the mapper folder?

My doc/virtual/mappers
 
yes in fact I did. Now I see the mappers in the Mapping field but my console unfortunately doesn't work..no worries i'll figure it out thanks for the support
 
the controller is native to VDJ you shouldn't need to install any extra mappings. try redownloading 7.4 and installing it. you might even try installing the LE version first before 7.4 pro. also try different USB ports on your computer. double check your power pack and turn everything on BEFORE starting VDJ. also double check your settings, make sure you have the correct audio settings enabled. sound card and the vms4 asio. i have the 4.1 so mine looks slightly different from this link http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/VMS4%20/%20VMS4.1.html
 
thanks for your help! But the only problem I have is extracting the FIRMWARE 3.11 file..it's in SYX format? WinZip doesnt work and I have no clue what program to unzip it with??
 
"The included version of Virtual DJ includes a Firmware update utility. It is necessary to install this. To update your VMS4:
1. Please check your computer audio setting and ensure that the VMS4 is not set as a default playback, playback recording, or MIDI device. This will interfere with the update and software applications.
2. Click the start menu > All Programs > Virtual DJ > FIRMWARE Update.
3. Select the VMS4 or USB Audio Device (Windows XP). Load the update file by clicking browse and going to the file location."

found this in the .pdf off their website, page 21 http://www.adjaudio.com/pdffiles/vms4.pdf

the rest of the info including the LE version with the utility can be found at http://www.adjaudio.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ItemNumber=1447

good luck
 
Had a hard time Initially setting the VMS4 when I first bought it 2 years ago but nevertheless I succeeded....Now that I've moved I've attempted to follow the steps but I remain unsuccessful (i'm beginning to pull my hair out)...I won't give up and thanks for sending me good luck!! I'm not ready to divorce the VMS4 yet LOL
 
ok im almost there. the fader and volume controllers on the vms4 work but nothing else does? and when i move the crossfader it doesn't move on the skin like it used to? DJDad if you're out there do u have any suggestions..I remember you giving me some tips about changing mapping commands like the fake.crossfader etc but i honestly forgot and I cannot find that previous thread neither. much appreciated!
 
Make sure no VMS4 files are present in both MyDocuments\VirtualDJ\Mappers and MyDocments\VirtualDJ\Devices folders.
Launch VirtualDJ and see if the VMS4 is detected in CONFIG-->Mappers tab.
If the VMS4 is not there, or you see Simple Midi wrapper then the VMS4 is not detected as Midi properly.
In this case, disabling any Logiteck hardware, Wifi, Webcamera from Device Manager might help. Try also a USB 2.0 port, in case your VMS4 is plugged to a 3.0 USB port (blue one) or use a USB 2.0 Hub.
If all the above fail, re-install Windows. You will save more time than trying to figure out what happened.
 
they are both detected in both folders..Thank u so much for your help...will give it a go!!!
