Topic: MIDI controller not working anymore?

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I have a Behringer BCR2000 MIDI controller which I have mapped to Virtual DJ. I had the controller working fine with the mapping I had and now it does not work anymore.

Here is a simplified version of my mapping.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mapper device="BCR2000" author="Lee Eather" description="BCR2000" version="74" date="16/06/2010">
<map value="BUTTON35" action="loop 1" />
</mapper>


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<device name="BCR2000" author="Lee Eather" type="MIDI" drivername="BCR2000">
<button note="0x23" name="BUTTON35" deck="1" />
</device>

I have tried different usb cord, reinstalled Virtual DJ, different usb ports.

The MIDI trace shows the BCR2000 in both the right hand columns and sends MIDI messages to the MIDI trace.

In Virtual DJ I can use the simple midi wrapper and learn and the BCR2000 works.

I scanned for new devices and nothing happened.

I read through the wiki device, mapper and script and could not figure out the problem.

Any help much appreciated.

has the driver name changed with an upgraded firmware version, That is the only way VDJ is recognizing your controller.

To check open midi trace and the in and out drivers will be on the right of screen
 
It shows [ffff/ffff]: USB Audio Device in both columns
 
 
ok

Thanks for your help.

I changed the driver name to "usb audio device" and now it shows in virtual dj fine and works fine.
 
If you are using Windows XP then it doesn't support using actual device names. It will return all MIDI devices with the generic name 'USB Audio Device'.

Check to see whether the device supports MIDI SysEx ID: http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/Controller%20Identification.html - If so, add sysexid="<INSERT ID STRING HERE>" to your MIDI definition file.

NOTE: Windows XP is a very old operating system - Upgrading to WIndows 7 is recommended.
 
My system is windows XP on this PC.

I found that changing the device file name to "USB Audio Device" and drivername to "USB Audio Device" and in the mapper file changing device to "USB Audio Device" and the description to "BCR2000" showed the BCR2000 in virtual dj as BCR2000 in config, mappers and I also added the vid and pid so virtual dj would recognise the controller.
