Topic: [Solved] Pioneer DJM 850 (Mapper not showing up) - Page: 1

This part of topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information

Ok so I got this mixer and I gotta say I love it, still don't think any Pioneer sounds as good as my Ecler but anyways,

I've downloaded this file, http://www.virtualdj.com/addons/16077/Pioneer_DJM-850_(1-2-3-4).html

Yet when I open VDJ 8 it's not showing up?? I've also downloaded the other file created by Black Matrixx and his works just fine but it not a full file like ACW's (color knobs are not in the device file).

So could someone please take a look at ACW's (the link I posted) and see why it doesn't show up??

Thanks for looking as it's most appreciated!! 🙏

The more I think about the more I think there's a problem with ACW's header so when I get home tonight I'm gonna switch headers and see what happens..........

Well it worked so that proves something is wrong with the header...............Thanks for looking though.

Take it all back, things are still all messed up. Bright side is, everything is working with SDJ now..............

Well I've pmed ACW and no answer yet an it would seem as if no one here is gonna help or can help?? Maybe you don't have access to one??

Either way if something is gonna be in the download center it should be tested and if it doesn't work take it down.........

This is clearly not working 👎

Hi,

All DJMs mapping were done for VirtualDJ 7 version, I would update it to work in VirtualDJ 8 now. Is just something version 8 work a bit different, but I would do it now.

Would let you know in a few minutes

Awesome!!

Thanks a million!!

Something still isn't right. All of the controls come up as "0-Slider18, 0-jog18, 0-encoder18"

Basically VDJ8 is not reading the mapper that goes with it.

Well maybe someone from the team can reach out to him again cause his mapping still doesn't work.

I refuse to let this go 💪 I need this to work.

Hi,

DJM-850 shouldn't be as a SIMPLE MIDI device. It should look as a DJM-850 on your mappers. You may need to check the PID of this DJM-850. Are you using a MAC OS or WIndows?

I suggest you to delete or move any related mapper from MAPPER and DEVICES folder and download the mapper again

It's the same on both Mac and PC. Will do if I can't get it to work I'll just start from scratch and do it myself.

Thanks for the time 👌

Let's try a remote assistance. I send you a PM to continue.

I don't think its possible cause were on the other side of the world and our schedules don't match.

Eitherway both the mapping folder and device folder are empty and I downloaded again and it still comes up as a simple midi wrapper. The problem is not on my end, both vid and pid are right in the definition file as Ive check on both the mac and PC.

And again this mapping, http://www.virtualdj.com/addons/14604/Pioneer_DJM-850.html works perfectly!!

I have checked vid/pid numbers on both machines and they are correct. I have checked the audio/midi window on the Mac and the DJM 850 shows as it's supposed. I have checked the driver name and it is correct on both my Mac and PC.

Now if this was only happening on 1 machine I'd say it's my fault but the SAME problem on 2 different machines on 2 different OS's is telling me there's something wrong with the files.

Is there anybody else who has this mixer that is willing to test this out?? There's no way that it's only my 2 laptops that this is happening to.

Anybody??? 😭💦💦

I just find the error, but I am updating the mapper at this moment. It would work now, I just test it and find the syntax error on a COMMENT I have inside.

I would let you know

I'll download and test tonight then get back in touch with you 👍

Still not working.......... Shows up as a simple midi device.

I don't even know what to do right now. Both the device and mapper files have the name "Data"?? What is going on with this stuff??? 😡
