i need to pick some brains....
i'll make a long story short. trying to write a definition file for my midi controller...
ive followed alot of the steps from:
http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/ControllerDefinition.html
and
http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/ControllerDefinitionMIDI.html
i've also used the "MIDI devices tool" to get the code:
sysexid="F07E??06020001790300010020120820F7"
vdj sees the controller and my test mapping i've made, so all is good there. here is where i'm having problems....
when i use the tool and press a button (i have 4 rows of 4 buttons)
i get the following when i press then release the button
92 2E 7F 00
82 2E 7F 00
<button note="822E7F00" name="PLAY" channel="2" deck="1" />
<led note="922E7F00" name="LED_PLAY" default="PLAY" channel="2" deck="1" />
I noticed when i reversed the press/release then i was able to get the button to function, although the LED works it flashes like a strobe for 1 second vs just being ON, i'll still have to tinker with that part.
another issue is although im pressing the key i want, its mapping to the button 2 rows down. i think im having a hard understanding of understanding the code of the key presses. also my buttons have LEDs that are on and change to a different color when pressed, not sure if that is an issue or not
if anyone can help me that would be great, thanks
cheers

whenever i map with MIDI i use Chackl's controller definer tool to sniff my MIDI.
it provides all the data you need in a much more readable format.

Your definition is incorrect. You just need to specify the MIDI note number for each button/LED (2E in this case), not the full MIDI message!
I.e
<button note="0x2E" name="PLAY" channel="2" deck="1" />
<led note="0x2E" name="LED_PLAY" default="PLAY" channel="2" deck="1" />
(The 0x is important to tell VirtualDJ the number is hexadecimal, not a normal decimal number.)
As far as the above MIDI messages are concerned, they mean the following:
92 2E 7F 00 - '9' is MIDI note on (Button pressed), 2 is the MIDI channel number, 2E is the note number, 7F is the velocity, the 4th byte 00 isn't used by MIDI notes.
82 2E 7F 00 - '8' is MIDI note off (Button released), 2 is the MIDI channel, 2E is the note number, 7F is the velocity (Technically, this should normally be 00 for a button being released.)
I.e
<button note="0x2E" name="PLAY" channel="2" deck="1" />
<led note="0x2E" name="LED_PLAY" default="PLAY" channel="2" deck="1" />

you should also note that miditrace has a zero index meaning that channel 0 is really channel 1 in the definition file. so for the example above channel 2 is really channel 3 when defining

for whatever reason it works on channel 2 but not 3, could be the controller and the current settings i have it at
