Development MixVibesPro Stopped?! I have Mixdeck!!!

[joostenw]

I've understand that MixVibes Pro has stopped the further development of the MixVibes Pro software.

I, as a longterm user of MixVibes Pro, am not informed about this.

I've bought a new, and very expensive, Numark Mixdeck controller, so that means that I won't get the right MIDI map for this controller because there would not put any efford anymore in MixVibes Pro.

There will be at least one update after the 7.4RC and if you need the Mixtrack into Producer then your best bet is to do the mapping as you would like.

I'm not experienced in MIDI mapping it seems very complex and the learning function with Mixdeck works only with the cue, pause and start button. All other buttons, bass, treble etc. and all sliders (eg. crossfader) does not work. I also don't know hoe to deal with the monitor function (right click) in the mediabase window is not separated, this means it runs with channel 2.

I've tested the LE version of Tractor and there is the MIDI function of Mixdeck fully integrated.

This is a very bad thing. Until now I've a lot lot of money invested in all the MixVibesPro updates from version 4 until version 7.

This is a bad, bad thing!

Hey,

When you want to map a slider or a gain controll you must do it via the edit under the MIDI option.

You create a new line and say for example GAIN and then you select the line. After that you turn the gain controll to value. There should be now a MIDI note in the first row. But this is not the right one. THis is only the current value. (example #90 53 3f)
You must delete the 3f . Than you close the edit window and test the command. Normaly it should work.

For Sliders like pitch or volume it is to 100% the same. Only deleting the last value. This say only the current value from 0 to 7f in Hex. These are in dezimal 0 to 255.

If you want more information write the question about what you want to map and I will check if it could be mapped and how.

You didn't answered the question about the right click monitor function in the mediabase window option.

[christiankoopmann]

This function I never used. I will check this today evening how it must mapped. I saw at a quick look in my software that there are options like:

I don't know if it works I have no MIDI devise here in the university but it could work like this:

Code: Select all

//MEDIABASE SELECT SONG
#b0 6a 1    SELECT      0   1    1    NOCHANGE
#b0 6a 7f    SELECT      0   -1    1    NOCHANGE

#90 4b       LOAD      1   1    1   NOUP
#90 34      LOAD      2   1    1   NOUP   

#90 4f       ACTIVE      0   1      INC NOUP

and the Monitor function is also available with this command:
Example 2 buttons for monitoring (I have a bcd 2000 i added the two buttons in the middle as monitor buttons:)

Code: Select all

//MONITOR
#90 30       MONITOR      1   1        NOUP INC
#90 37       MONITOR      2   1        NOUP INC

You mast look for the right MIDI notes! These are the commands of my BCD2000.

I'll told you before and just tried it again in the MIDI edit mode: the gain, bas, treble, master and CH1 and CH2 slider from Mixdeck doesn't react! Cue, pause, crossfader, pitch bench creates a MIDI note.

[christiankoopmann]

hey,

I looked at the Numark Mixdeck specs. When they not react and create no MIDI sound these sliders and buttons are no MIDI controlled things. I mean that these are analog things. I don't know exactly how the mixdeck is build up internaly but it could be that these faders and gain, bass and treble are from a analog mixer. The sound is generated as optimal output through the internal mixer.

When you use the Mixdeck with Traktor have they mapped? I think that the mixer in the middle is an analog mixer and not a MIDI controller. But I'm not realy shure. Maybee ask the Numark Support for a detailed MIDI note table of all functions of the Numark Mixdeck.

note: You can also controll with the internal mixer of the mixdeck external devices. So it theems to be a normal mixer with no MIDI support.

I think that the mixer in the middle is an analog mixer and not a MIDI controller.

I agree, the mixer is analog

Question and answer from the Numark Mixdeck FAQ page

http://www.Numark.com/mixdeck

Is the mixer MIDI mappable?

The mixer is a purely analog design because you may want to mix other sources with software.

Hence no MIDI notes from the mixer

[Support@MixVibes]

May be those controls are 14bits MIDI.

EDIT :oups didn't see the analog thing, sorry guys !
