Numark DJ2GO Scripting

[jus]

... how do i use the sampler decks?...

All Sampler controls are the same as for regular Channels. Just replace [ChannelN] with [SamplerN].

My problem is I dont think I can test it since I have no sampler decks with the newest version

You need to have the latest Mixxx 1.10 installed which is available here. Make sure you have the Sampler decks visible in the Interface, they are hidden by default. The corresponding chapter in the manual can be found here.

Hi guys,

Thanks for all the work on getting Numark DJ2GO mapped in Mixxx. Mixxx 1.11.0 is coming up and we have a MIDI-script freeze of May 26th. Do you think you guys can come to a consensus on what mapping we should include in Mixxx 1.11.0? Let me know and I'll bundle it.

Thanks,
RJ

I've been meaning to take two different scripts and combine them then check the XML on the w3schools.org XML validator. I might have time to do all of this early tomorrow. Unlike z3r0, I don't intend on keeping the lpd8 mapping in the same script with the dj2go mapping. With mixxx 1.11.0, its so easy to map a controller like that so I don't think there's a point to over complicate the script for something as simple as the dj2go controller.

i've just completed my first mapping, well two, for the djtech djm101 and cdj101. the only other controllers i have that would probably be any use creating mappings for would be the launchpad and icon idj. i could create sane mappings for those if wanted. i could certainly have those done before the freeze date (assuming i haven't done anything stupid in my cdj/djm scripts that don't conform to existing standards)

I'm working on the finishing touches of a cleaner script for the Numark DJ2Go. All of the previous mappings have had a lot of left over nonsense from the mixtracks xml (low-freq/mid-freq/hi-freq/loop/etc). I'm doing clean-up on the xml, which has reduced the xml from 19kb to about 12kb. This weekend I'm going to try to remove some of the left over nonsense from the JS... I have tried to remove a little bit at a time and it seems to mess up some of the other script-bind stuff. So I'm going to work on that little by little.

Also, as I have mentioned to Pegasus, I noticed that when the pitch slider (rate) is 'normal', 0/center is lined up, but when its invert, center will be -0.78 off. I'm not sure how it can be fixed... So for those who want it lined up with center/0 can always switch from ‘invert’ to ‘normal’... you would just have to ignore the fact that you would be going negative rather than positive and vice versa... It's pretty easy to ignore that fact because the controller, down is positive but on mixxx that's negative... so if look more at mixxx rather than the dj2go, the control movements would be closer to what's on the screen itself. IDK... it's a preference. Because I'm particular about fine details I would rather have it working as it is intended to, rather than using a work-around.

At this point the only thing that is not mapped is the back button... Save for that, I think it will be pretty much ready to be released with 1.11.0 beta come early May.

As I previously mentioned, here is a cleaned up mapping for the Numark DJ2Go controller.

Two things that are worth noting:

1) The 'Back' button is not mapped / assigned. Mixxx doesn't really have a need for a back button anyway. I figure I can leave it blank for now and if anyone wants to assign anything to that button, it's rather easy to map it with 1.11 using the mapping wizard. If anyone wants me to try to sniff out the back button and map it to a specific function I'm sure I can figure it out.

2) The pitch slider is backwards (goes negative when you slide positive and vice versa). I did that for a very good reason. In order to get the slider to match with the program (positive to positive, negative to negative) the 'rate' in the xml had to be 'invert' (rather than 'normal'). However it seems the center / zero value is off with invert (when the slider itself is centered, the software is -0.78 rather than 0). Until that is fixed (on the software side I assume), I figured I would just keep it at 'normal'. If anyone would prefer me to change it back to invert (as all of the previous maps for the DJ2Go have been), let me know and I can change it for you. I prefer the pitch being spot on. Plus the movement of the slider matches up with the software (rather than if you slide down, it goes up on the software)... So as long as you ignore the + and - on the controller itself, you won't even notice a problem.

That's it for now. I think this is probably the cleanest mapping so far as all of the others still had unnecessary junk left over from the mixtrack mapping (which was used as a template for the dj2go mapping).

1) The 'Back' button is not mapped / assigned.

You could map that to Mixxx's "reverse" control which plays the track backwards, or to "back" which is fast-rewind.

Regarding the pitch slider, does it correctly adjust if you change the direction in the Interface preferences?
