Can you please share how you were able to get it to work with the virtual dj?

I came across the link for launchpad definitions for programming (www.novationmusic.com/download/668/)
and it seems like it would be useful for making an XML definitions file.
I don't mind altering or even creating the mappings file but can't seem to make an adequate definition file, never made one from scratch before.
I too don't have the online account, and feel the "pro" online license price is unwarranted. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

indeed it is u need to somehow get vdj to send midi back to the launchpad to make any of it's led's do anything.

did a quick search here and i believe vdj uses some xml format for it's mappings as one post for a vci-100 mapping has stuff like this in:

Code:
<map value="PLAY" action="play_pause"/>
<map value="LED_PLAY" action="play"/>
so i presume you'll have stuff like <map value="buttonname" action="action"/> in your launchpad mapping and need to add stuff like <map value="LED_buttonname" action="action"/> to get feedback working

17.02.2012		^ a table of these colour values and other really helpful info is in the manual for the launchpad
Jonathan Chiuchiolo
17.02.2012		defining in vdj is best done using the hexidecimal midi messages as atomix have provided miditrace that displays that information to help with creating definition files.

but the way the launchpad works is it has the led note on messages the same as the button note, but to make it change colour vdj sends a cc value as well. the way it works is

green = 0x1C
red = 0x0F
yellow = 0x3F


for an example of the top left button on the launchpad, it's midi note in hex is 0x00, so to define it you need to use

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<device author="synthet1c" decks="X" name="launchpad" sysexid="XXXXX" type="MIDI" >
<button note="0x00" name="button 1" />
<led note="0x00" value="0x1C" name="green led button 1" />
<led note="0x00" value="0x0F" name="red led button 1" />
<led note="0x00" value="0x3F" name="yellow led button 1" />
</device>

02.11.2011		you sure they didnt perhaps email it to you?

and virtual dj isnt all that great, as for software for djing traktor and serato are probably the best and between those its just personal preference of which one you like better
