Virtual DJ 8: Simple Controller Mapping

[@tab_iill]

Thank you so much! I just got the Pro 3 and I've been struggling without a gain button as equalizing is important to me and now thanks to the filter knob being a gain I couldn't stop mixing testing it! Awesome!

[@jade007z]

Thank you so much!! you really helped me! straight to the point, you rock Echo Papa!

[@joesilva7377]

Thank you for your help, I appreciate your time and effort very much!! Keep the videos coming!!

[@EchoPapa]

You are welcome.

[@JAMROC70]

You explain with clarity. Can one key be mapped to move the fader lt and rt and auto play the deck to which ever side the fader is located?

[@JoseVega70]

Great tip. Finally I can map my effects button to my desired effect.

[@andrearisr2593]

do you have a video of you mapping both play, stop & volume knobs on each side?

[@brianmurray8399]

I have a scs.4dj with vdj8 and have mapped my mpd32 to trigger hot cues and samples. My question is what command is used to trigger deck A hot cues? or deck B? I'm using hot_cue 1 but it doesn't distinguish A or B so it jumps back and forth. And also I would like to map the vdj8 custom buttons to the scs.4dj hot cue buttons.. Not sure what to assign to them but I wont need two sets of hot cue buttons. I prefer the mpd32 for hot cues. Any Ideas?

[@tinozee6797]

Hi Echo Papa, can you make a video tutorial on mapping with VDJ 2021 please, thanks.

[@cadewhite7757]

How do you map controls for specific decks like filters or loops?

[@shivanksolaris]

Wow, this opens a whole new world for me. I have a party mix , and i always wanted a wet/dry knob for filter, let me know if you have an easy way. I have a deck gain i dont usually use. Thanks.

[@aftashok1]

using the VMS4.1, when i moved to VDJ8 my browse/scroll buttons no longer work, i used to hold 'shift' button along with turning the 'sample/select' knob to scroll thru my playlist, then push the knob to load the song. any idea how i can get this re-mapped again? can i possibly copy/paste script from my VDJ 7 settings into VDJ8?

[@basslinefilthradio7190]

need help i have vdj8 and have an issue , when i go to mapping!! in vdj5 you used to be able to choose which deck the mapping would control but i cant seem to figure out how to do it in vdj 8.0 now when i try to map 2 different faders for left and right on my midi i have to always select the deck its really annoying, i want to be able to control the 2 decks with 2 different faders

[@rustykarts3894]

awesome video, Id like to find out how do i map a controller button to my master effect, to adjust its parameters using a knob

[@Cookbeat]

Echo Papa Please help me map the jog so when I touch the outter side of it, it pitch bends with the key change like it did in VDJ 7... My touch wheel function works, everythings fine there, but I would also want to pitch the song using side wheel. I work in Numark Mixtrack Pro. Thank you!

[@mauriceknight2124]

Yep, I need help as well. I have the Numark NV and I am trying to map effects control 2 and 3 to the 2 and 3 to the program. along with the parameter knob.

[@djayo8163]

can you do a video on more advance mapping? Thanks for all these videos I love the sharing of information.

[@EchoPapa]

What's up AYO. I actually have some more advanced mapping stuff coming down the pipe. Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback.

Im using pioneer xdj r1controller . The sound effects both " CRUSH " & " NOISE " is not working by using my controller. i used effect_active " noise " this script is not working and i used toggle "fxnoise" also, both didnt working. can you give me the exact code for the effects.

[@mikey301000]

Got me a Numark NVii. Have used all VDJ programs in the past but this one came with serato :/ I'm trying to use it with VDJ but there are no map options like key learn or any list of what does what. My controller won't respond to anything I do and the screens don't do anything but show me NVii. How can I get this controller to work? I'm licensed with content untld and VDJ pro infinity. Any help to get this fired up would be bomb, other wise I have to learn serato :/

[@shishirpun6385]

Dear sir , is pioneer cdj 850 and pioneer djm 850 pre mapped on virtual dj 2018 ? and is virtual dj good for playing at clubs ? i have been using virtual dj at my home with just a small speaker n now i want to buy the virtual dj license to use with pioneer cdj 850 n pioneer djm 850 but im not sure whether virtual dj crashes down or stops functioning when used for long hours as i have heard from few people that serato dj crashes sometimes . pl.ease KINDLY reply , Thank you

[@_cr8ive_]

Can I connect a DENON DJ MC7000 to virtual DJ 8 for free and have the controller working right? Mapped correctly? 🙏🏻🤝

[@melissamoreiraty6344]

I really need some help, in MIDI mapping Korg's Electribe Sampler. I have watched various youtube videos, seem pretty easy, the hitting buttoms and assigning the actions, but i when hitting a buttom in my electribe i just get a ONINIT or ONEXIT option, no code buttom of my electribe.

[@djdeep6554]

Can I use xone k2 with VDJ to control 4 decks and I use xone 23c and behringer cmd Dv-1?

[@marcomartins9550]

Hi I´m trying to map effects for Denon mc 3000..eg efx1, exf2 buttons etc..What are the parameters for just turning effects on/off?..and also the effects control knobs parameters? thanks

[@ShawnNearman]

Thanks for the video. I'm having trouble figuring out the correct way to map deck cloning. There is a function on the controller to do a double-click on the browser load button, but that just loads the song onto the other deck. I can't figure out a way to unload the second deck and load song currently playing on the first deck. Hope this makes sense. Thanks for any thoughts.

[@migno7890]

Very nice,,, and hopefully helpfull as new user to VDJ 8 and mapping. But is it possible that any one in here already has a mapping for a Pioneer MEP-7000/SEP-C1?

[@brucelovespsytrance1395]

hey wolud you be able to explain which one is the load track button? i cant load tracks with my mixer when i push the button it just shows you the details of the track.

[@joesilva7377]

Thank you for your reply! I was using a Windows PC with VDJ 7 Pro and the Midi Fighter Spectra to launch FX. It worked perfectly. I upgrades to a Mac Book Pro and VDJ 8 Pro. I can not seem to be able to map the midi fighter spectra to VDJ 8 Pro. I have down loaded mapping from VDJ's website and it does not work. (It states it's for VDJ 8) I tried the mapping from VDJ 7 Pro with no luck. I am not sure of what to do, or if it's do to the change in platforms from windows PC to the Mac?..... I look forward to hearing back from you.

[@EchoPapa]

When you plug in your Midi Fighter, do you see it in the controller mapping section of VDJ 8 settings window?

[@PADW4VOTK]

Did you get the right drivers first!?!?!?

[@KillaklownTV69]

for some reason my numark partymix dosnt want to make the scratch sound whilst the platter goes backwards but does when the platter goes forward. Can you help me out with this? Thank you. -Dj S!ck

[@bizarrehazar]

You know of a way to program a knob on one deck to control the filter of another deck? I specifically would like to have: 1.) Deck 3 EQ_High knob to control Deck 1 Filter 2.) Deck 4 EQ_High knob to control Deck 2 Filter 3.) Deck 1 EQ_High (normal function) 4.) Deck 2 EQ_High (normal function) Is this possible? I ask because my Numark N4 unfortunately does not have filter knobs :/

Hello Echo Papa. I have been trying to map out a controller. i can get the left side to do the commands, but how do you get it to do the left side of the controller? when i use the find & target a key on the other side. both sides of controller control the same deck. Thank you

[@messaoudfiras4939]

[@zambranojulio]

Hi! Can you please make a video showing how to map a custom button to activate and deactivate at will the new video skin “for Live” in the 4 deck layout from Virtual Dj 2018 (found no custom buttons on it)? I asked the Vdj support and they said that “yes” it can be done by mapping the button with: setting “UseVideoSkin”. Thanks!

[@djdeep6545]

Thank you very much it was very helpful

[@dr.labbejl1686]

When doing this type of mapping does it work for both decks or just the A? Does it apply for example to both loop in( to whatever key the controller has on the 2 decks A& B?) thanks

[@EchoPapa]

***** It applies to both sides by default

[@EchoPapa]

It depends on your controller. Not all controllers are left & right, but most are.

[@johnnyxthemacnifient5333]

ni nice explained but my mapping does a strange behavior.. it moves just a little bit to the richt whil i trun knop on keyboard althe way lelft, richt. whenis it is max out , it just stays there. nothing happens when i turn knob on my midi lx88 impact keyboar, why is that ?

[@poche2521]

ive subscribed and shared with friends and liked. i tried searching through your vids but do you have an advanced mapping like i have a mixtrack pro 3 controller using virtual dj 8 im still very new at this. i was wondering when i use 4 deck how could ibadd cue pad for the rest two

[@joesilva7377]

Echo Papa, wondering if you have mapped a Midi Fighter Spectra with VDJ 8? I mapped my Midi Fighter Spectra to VDJ 7 Pro with great results. I have tried to map FX in VDJ 8 to the midi fighter and have not be successful. I would appreciate any input you may have.

[@EchoPapa]

I have not mapped that specific controller, but what is your question specifically, I will answer if I can.

[@Sirch100precent]

thanks for all these videos man. & thanks for responding to my question about duplicate decks.. stinks about the bugs. oh well .. seems like 8 is solid regardless. gonna jump from 7 , but still use the 7 skin. will i have all the same functions with the 7 skin?

[@EchoPapa]

They have been working most of the bugs out pretty quick but they are a few lingering ones.

[@EchoPapa]

The engine will still be 8, but not everything can be accessed via the 7 skin.

Can you please help? I've have tried for days but without success. I am running Virtual DJ 8 on PC with the Numark NV controller. I am trying to get my microphone to work through channel 3 on my controller. This will mean I can use my fader to control the mic volume and use the equaliser to make sure it sounds correct. I've managed to map everything else the way I want it but the mic is causing me a problem. You're the man, I love your videos ...please help!

[@ricknz8746]

Hay man, I've got a Voxoa S70 controller and it seems to be mapped but every time I turn on virtual Dj 8 the headphones jump to master volume and nearly blow my head off (unless I turn the headphones volume all the way up then it catches and turns down to where its set like your ghost volume video) also it keeps auto syncing tunes which I don't want unless I press the sync button, is there a way to keep virtual Dj mapped so it remembers all the button settings on my controller? Thanks keep up the good vids

[@onelove1832]

Hi echo papa, great vids! Please help me. I'm using the numark mixtrack pro 2 and vdj 8 pro. My issue is with the effects bank. The parameter knobs would only work with the effects on slot 1. When I look at the Mac screen, the effect that it's showing is the one on effects slot 1. There is no way for me to even see which effects I'm choosing for effects slots 2-4. P.s. I was able to see and control all effects slots and parameters in vdj pro 7. Please help. Have a great day.

[@EchoPapa]

Check this out. It's not the pro, but the mapping should be the same. www.virtualdj.com/documents/Numark%20Mixtrack%20II%20-%20VirtualDJ%208%20Operation%20Guide.pdf

I downloaded mapping for icon idj controller on vdjweb but there is only one play and one cue etc. Can I program the key list so I have different play and cue for both deck?

[@EchoPapa]

Yes. use the command device_side. For example, you want the left deck to play & pause but you want the. right deck to play & stutter it would look like this. device_side 'left' ? play_pause : play_stutter What you are saying is...is the button your pressing on the left side of the controller? Yes, then do command 1 otherwise, by process of elimination, it must be the right side, so do command 2. Be sure to put the little quote thing around left.

[@SeattleareaDJ]

Echo Papa I would like to make a button to turn on the camera and record the camera at the same time

[@EchoPapa]

Mobile DJ Sean Denard video_fx_select "camera" & video_fx & record NOTE: I played with this for a while. It seems to work, but it did lock up one time, it turns both the video record and the camera on, but you have to make sure that your record setting is set to record video. Also for some reason the button stays lit up I think because camera is still selected in the video fx, even though it's not turned on.

[@rolitoellama8819]

You have a crack for mixtrackquad for virtual 8

Hey Sean. What function are you trying to map. And is it not letting you type it in manually or just not working after you type it in?

[@movegroove8747]

Hello Echo Papa...I have a Numark Mixtrack 3 and I would like to assign the "Pitch Bend -" and "Pitch Bend +" buttons on the controller to the "Gain" knob(s) in Virtual DJ8. Since this controller does not have a Gain Volume Knob to control the Gain, I have to use my mouse and manually raise or lower the Gain on screen in VDJ8. I was hoping to assign "Pitch Bend -" to lower it and "Pitch Bend +" to raise it. But if not, any configuration would suit me fine. A related question within this question, "Can a controller button be assigned to control a VDJ8 knob?" Thank you very much! I love your videos!

[@DjPhaseFour]

Just use 'gain +5%' and 'gain -5%', change the number depending on how fine of a control you want. For your second question I'm not sure what you are trying to do.

[@movegroove8747]

Thank you very much. Your advice worked just fine. As far as my 2nd question is concerned, I think I actually just repeated the first question using different wording...ha ha....sorry! I must have been tired that day. Thank you again!

dude how you get the license for your controller ?

[@EchoPapa]

If you are a Virtual DJ 8 Pro user, then you shouldn't have to do anything. If you are not, they will charge you a fee to unlock that controller to work the VDJ 8. Start VDJ 8 and plug-in your controller. Go to "Options" (it looks like the small gear in the upper right corner) then on the left, select LICENCES. You will see a large button that says UNLOCK THIS CONTROLLER. Click it and follow the instructions.
