this isn't my doing, user: deosi gave me a PM [or six] about sending vdj midi [via a virtual midi cable] into the unreal engine.
I know nowt about how unreal deals with midi,[former gaming addict, had to put the pad down] deosi didn't know much about vdj_script, nor definition creating.
so 24 hours after I realised he wasn't going to go away unless I helped, [and a dozen messages later] he sent me this video

nothing extravagant, but pretty tight on latency considering.
boiling it down; it's video dmx
I've bumped him a few ideas on how to catch a beat or a 32crash. I'll leave him to poke the unreal end of things.
is it just a nerdy pass time or could it be a thing?, IDK but it's interesting [sort of]

I'm pretty sure it's possible to create a virtual MIDI device that can then recieve all the jogwheel, fader and knob states from VDJ.
I think that would be super awesome. We can already show these things on-screen with some control through the Video Skins in VDJ, but no 3D capabilities of course.
There are a few apps and tools out there for Virtual Reality DJing, and i think they are neat but not really useful for a lot other than showcasing.
If however someone were to add a virtual setup in VR chat or something and it's controller by an actual DJ software then suddenly it becomes an extension of professional, serious DJing.
I don't know when the pandemic is over but maybe people are looking more into virtual parties and then this would be a really cool thing to be able to do.

FunctionDJ, I think you get it! I'm running into issues because i'm an idiot as locodog alluded to, but I've got my platters, crossfader, filter and eq knobs, and a 4 beat counter setup in unreal. I'm out of channels in my custom device mapper, so I have to either figure out how to get unreal working smoothly with different cc's, or just understand midi better in general. heh. groovindj, tribe is cool, and super well done!, but different than this. While this could be experienced in vr, its more for playing with real hardware and representing your actions in unreal. Thanks for the feedback guys. Here's a youtube video of me practicing badly in the unreal space for like 20 minutes.
