Mapping ID for the Reloop Beatpad ?

Hello,

I am trying to de the mapping for the Reloop Beatpad (the first one, not the Beatpad 2), and I have a few question, and any help could be very appreciated :
- the controller mapping need an id field in the header (<id ID="xxxxxxxxxxx"/>), where xxxxxxxxx is a number with 9 or 10 digits. I suppose it is based on the USB Vendor and Product IDs, but I cannot do the link and figure out how to get this number. One simple way would be to build the mapping in the Windows version of Cross DJ , but I don't owe the PC version, I just have the Android Pro version. Any Clue ?
- As a last resort, do the mappings for Cross DJ Windows are compatible with mappings for Cross DJ Android ?

Thank you for the help you could provide on this. For everything else, I think I can sort out, this is not the first mapping I could develop for the Reloop Beatpad. :)

User defined MIDI mapping for Android isn't supported.

The Android version isn't a 'copy' of the windows version, so mappings can't be exchanged just like that.

It is not because it is not a "copy" of the windows version that it does not reuse some same mechanisms in its code.

For your information, mappings in android are located in this folder :
sdcard0/Android/data/com.mixvibes.crossdjapp/files/Mappings

You don't haveto be root to access the mappings, they are public, (file extension ".mappings"), for U-MIXCONTROL 2/PRO/PRO2 , DDJ-SB and DDJ-WeGO

They are xml files and have exactly the same structure than for the windows and the Mac version.

Extract for the DDJ-WeGO :
Code: Select all
<controller kind="MIDI">
    <id ID="171393191"/>
    <properties Model="DDJ-WeGO" Manufacturer="Pioneer" Version="2.40" Publisher="MixVibes"
                PCDevice="Pioneer DDJ-WeGO" MacDevice="Pioneer DDJ-WeGO" HiRes="on"/>
    <icon Data="6404.IBkSG0fBZn.... //shortened by me//"/>
    <mappings>
      <input-mappings>
        <fourteenBitsMidiTable channel="1">


Everything tells us it is possible to build our own mappings for Cross DJ Android.

Of course, you won't be able to exchange the mappings between Android and Windows ! They are less functionnalities aavilable with the Android version. But impossible to do a mapping for android ? NO ! For sure !

I precise of course I bought the Android pro version and I don't share any files coming with it. We have to be respectfull of the work that was done on this wonderfull software.

I found the demo of Cross DJ for Windows, wich supports mappings. andI have exported the mapping of the UMIX-control in order to compare it with the Android version, and guess what....



They are EXACTLY the same except for the ID !!!

Wich means that if you have a working mapping for the windows version, it is 99,99% compatible with the Android version :D
