Hey everyone. I've been using the basic version of VDJ shipped with the Hercules Steel controller.
I haven't been able to figure out how to rebind keys directly, so I've been remapping everything through MIDI (a pain in the ass btw). So now I can use the number keys to activate samples.
Which is awesome, but what would be really sweet is a way to activate the LEDs for the button whenever the sample is active.
Is this possible?
The booklet says that the MIDI message for key 1, for example, is Bx 01 Value. Does this translate into dmx somehow?
Thanks!
Also, am I supposed to register on here with the VDJ version that came with the controller?

If you look at the "map" tab there are drop downs. The top drop down is the device function, there should be XXX_LED. Use that to map the led, something like this: sampler 1 play ? on : off ( this will turn the light on while the sampler on 1 is playing ) So many ways to map an LED its ridiculous, VDJScript is the greatest. Its all up to your imagination.

Sorry, the limited edition (LE) that comes with the DJ Console RMX and Steel doesn't support custom mapping.
To be able to custom map, use custom skins/effects and much, much more, you will need to upgrade to VirtualDJ Professional: http://www.virtualdj.com/buy/index.html (The RMX or Steel console entitles you to a significant discount.)
The trial of VirtualDJ Pro can be downloaded from http://www.virtualdj.com/download/trial.html

Hmmmm. Lets see if I can find my key...
Is there a way I can back up all of my cue points for when/if I install the professional version?

Yes, you can backup the folder My Documents\VirtualDJ
If you use external drives, also backup the VirtualDJ database found in the root of each drive.
NOTE: You should do this regularly if this information is important to you. Also, make sure that you backup your entire music collection.
However, cue points and database information will be retained when you upgrade.

Well luckily for me I decided to try the trial before upgrading.
Maybe I'm doing this completely wrong, but I can't get the mapper to work acceptably at all. All of the buttons are just mapped to 'djc_button x' and I can't even map the buttons on different sides independently!
Plus, I don't know where I'm supposed to be able to see XXX_LED, but I certainly do not.

As JPBoggis said
In the config there is a tab called "Mapper". In that tab there will be a drop down menu in the top right. These are all of the properly defined functions that you can use without having to alter the .xml definition and .xml mapper.
Im not at my VDJ machine so I can not post any pics at the moment.

Okay. That's for the LEDs, you mean?
So do you know how I treat the right and left decks separately? It only has BUTTON1 through BUTTON12, but I'd want button 7 on the left side to do something different from button 7 on the right.

You would have to map it like this:
action_deck 1 ? command for left deck : command for right deck
action_deck 1 ? command for left deck : command for right deck
