As your all aware there are a few changes in the effects section of VDJ 4.0, these have now been reflected in the DMC/DAC2 Plugin.
DMC/DAC2 VJ Mapper For Virtual DJ 3.4+ (www.virtualdj.com)
Design By DJK, Coding By jpboggis
Version 2.0 for Virtual DJ 4.0 Only
Thanks for reading the instructions, thats always a good place to start! This mapper is simply a "Deluxe" version of the virtual DJ built in mapper. It's been built for those that like the loop controls on the "Group" keys, and for those that have perhaps moved over from other software(!) that uses the DAC, and are sort of set on the button functions, like me!
This version includes video switching, direct from the DMC/DAC2, a nice bonus that I miss in the default mapper. I take little credit for its creation, as I know nothing about C++, all thanks goes to jpboggis (Jonathan Boggis) for his daily lessons on what to type and where to put it!
NOTE:
This version is designed for Virtual DJ 4.0, it does seem to work with 3.4 but the FX functions will not work. For Virtual DJ 3.4 Please use VJ Mapper version 1.01.
Any problems, post me a message on the Virtual DJ Forums at www.virtualdj.com
TO INSTALL:
Simply put the dmc1mapper.dll file in your Virtual DJ Folder, where Virtualdj.exe resides. To uninstall, just delete the same dll file and Virtual DJ will resort to it's built in mapper.
WAITLIST:
Use this key with Load, FX, Cue & Play
SHIFT:
Use this key with either FX, The Jog Wheel, Play or The Match key.
FX:
Applies the selected audio effect, Press again to cancel those effects that don't cancel themselves. SHIFT + FX = Next audio effect, WAITLIST + FX = Previous audio effect.
LOOP/PREVIEW:
This performs a Video Transition to the other player. A quick tap will just switch video to the new player with no transition, similar to a crossfader "Slam". This is useful if you have run out of time on you previous song.
Pressed and held, LOOP/PREVIEW will perform a transition using your selected transition. The Transition will only be applied for as long as you hold the button, so you can also use a combo of transition and slam to create new transitions depending on exactly how long you hold the button down for. For a full transition you'll need to hold the button for about 4 seconds, Just long enough to take a sip from your drink =)
MATCH:
Applies the Beatlock for a moment, to match both BPM's, Beatlock is released when you release the key. To Lock Beatlock press Shift & Match together, to unlock, just repeat!
<<|:
Adjust Loop time shorter, Number of loops is shown on the left of the display.
GROUP:
Apply Preset Loop as shown in the display, a second press will exit the loop. When player is in loop play mode, "SINGLE" is shown in the display.
|>>:
Adjust Loop time longer, Number of loops is shown on the left of the display.
LOAD:
Loads the selected Track into the unused player, This can be used after "Shift+JOG". SHIFT + LOAD Toggles between Elapsed and Remain time in the players, note that time is calulated out for real time display taking pitch into account. The Progress Bar will also flash when the track has 30 seconds remaining, and faster when 10 seconds remain.
JOGWHEEL:
Inner wheel performs a track nudge to set cue points while not playing, and a mild pitch bend while playing. Hold "Shift" and then use the wheel to browse the record library.
Outer wheel is used to Seek throughout the track, if used with "Shift" it will change directories in the browser.
CUE:
Stops the track, Or saves cue point one if pressed with Shift. If pressed while stopped, mapper will progress through avaliable cues, including a virtual one at the begining of the track.
PLAY:
This button does nothing... Except play the track! =)
If Shift is pressed and held while pressing play, Track will stutter play, ie, for as long as the Play button is held. Note that if you Stutter one two many times, releasing Shift first will allow the track to continue after you remove your finger from the Shift button!
-:
Pitch Bends the track back while being pressed.
+:
Pitch Bends the track forward while being pressed.

Great update..
Just one request if possible. I use the DMC and never use videos, could you do a version that on the PREVIEW button has the same functionality as the FX button in the current version ? That would really solve a lot for me, and other DMC users i think.

My version is "Optimized" for the DMC-1, but works with both DMC1 and DAC2. It makes sure that all functions works correctly on the DMC1.
It is uploaded to the site for release, so it should be available soon. But you can read about the functionality in my blog until then.
