MIDI map for Numark Mixdeck

[joostenw]

Is there a MIDI map for Numark Mixdeck available (for MixvibesPro 7.2). If not, what is the best way to setup your own MIDI map. Where can I find information about building your own MIDI map and what does the function 'learning' means in this context. Only a little information about this item is available in the Mixvibes manual.

Thanks in advance,

Willy

Hey,

First of all go under options to the MIDI section and create a new File for your device like "Numark mixdeck". Then anable the product in the MIDI options.

the MIDI learn function is very easy to use. Enable learning -> go with the cursor to the button you want to configure -> hold the mouse minimum 2 seconds on this button. It should grow up in a light silver. Than you push the button on your midi-device. When it is know lighting up in a dark-blue when you pressing the button on the MIDI interface it is added to the mapping.

This you can also do by hand. Then you go back to the MIDI options under options and press the button edit. Then you can add new lines to the table. The line which is selected is hearing for a MIDI signal. So if you select the new added line press the button you want to map and there should be in the first row the MIDI note. For every button you must add 2 commandlines. One where you press the key and one command where you release it. It should look like the command when you use the MIDI lean function. (as an example how to map)

I hope it will help you.

Hi Christian,

The learing function works (it colors silver) but the Numark Mixdeck does not response (color does'nt change). The Mixdeck is recognized by Mixvibes Pro, because under device Mixvibes response with: Numark Mixdeck MIDI. Another question is how to deal with push and turn buttons.

Hey,

have you got selected the Mideck as Input Device for MIDI unter options? or how could I understand your sentence?

The Mixdeck is recognized by Mixvibes Pro, because under device Mixvibes response with: Numark Mixdeck MIDI.

You can test if it is respondig: Open the new created file for your MIDI map with the button edit and add a new Line. When selected push any button on the Numark. When there appears a MIDI note in the first row it works. If there is no MIDI note there is something wrong.

So create push and turn reglers you go in the file seting up a new line with the command like player 1 gain -> MIDI note without the last 2 bits for examle #f2 a1. This is the base tone and #f2 a1 00 to #f2 a1 FF is the highest bit.
If you have sliders there you also delete the last two bits that only stands #b0 01 or something else and set the flags "INC NOUP".

For example a Button like cue:

Code: Select all

#90 33   7f   CUE      1   1
#90 33   0   CUE      1   0

Example Gain-controll: (rotating button)

Code: Select all

#b0 d       GAIN      1
#b0 e      GAIN      2   

Eample Slider like Pitch-Slider:

Code: Select all

#90 38       PITCHSELECT   1   1   INC NOUP    
#90 3f      PITCHSELECT   2   1   INC NOUP

#b0 b       PITCHALL   1   0.0
#b0 c      PITCHALL   2   0.0

Creating the big Jogs:

Code: Select all

// JOG left
#b0 19      JOG2      1   0   800       JOGPOLLING JOGTIMER INVERSE JOGRELEASE
// JOG right
#b0 18      JOG2      2   0   800       JOGPOLLING JOGTIMER INVERSE JOGRELEASE

These are samples the MIDI note is not correct you must set the right MIDI note!

I hope it will help you.
