You can use upto 8 MIDI device with Cross DJ/Full.
If a supplier doesn't support a controller this merely impacts the audio driver. As MIDI doesn't use a driver. It communicates at a lower more technical level (of the ISO-OSI layers).
In Cross you do not select a controller but a midimapping for a controller. You will have to set your own wanted mapping. As you can have multiple mappings for the same device it would be very inconvenient....
I will try to explain my suggestion more clearly, but please allow me to give you a little background on myself: I'm a Virtual DJ Pro user. In fact, I've used that software since the company first started (I used PCDJ prior to switching). With Virtual DJ, I never had to map a controller because it supports so many. However, users have the option to map their own controllers. I never tried, so please excuse my lack of knowledge on this subject. Consequently, I greatly appreciate your contribution to this discussion!
What I'm suggesting is that Mixvibes has basic MIDI mapping that's specific for each controller (some have more buttons and features than others). Using the Firstmix controller as an example (a very simple controller): I had to type in the name so that the software would recognize it, but none of the buttons and features work. Also, a pic of the Firstmix controller was not provided in the controller list. Once I specify the controller, the software automatically downloads the premapped MIDI controls specifically for the Firstmix controller with my suggestion. I'm not sure if this is what you've already explained, but if you did please forgive my redundancy....
Once this is done, a dialogue box allows me to assign the controller to either decks A and B or decks C and D. For this discussion, let's imagine that I have 2 Firstmix controllers. When I connect the 2nd Firstmix controller, the software will automatically download the same premapped MIDI controls and assign it to the 2 remaining decks.
Moreover, the software will distinguish between both identical controllers by naming one Firstmix 1 and the other Firstmix 2. Therefore, in my example, Firstmix 1 would control decks A and B while Firstmix 2 controls decks C and D. No remapping would be necessary because the software has automatically distinguished between both identical controllers.
I hope that I've explained my suggestion more clearly... but like I've already acknowledged, I have never MIDI mapped a controller. Thus, I don't know if my suggestion is even possible. Nevertheless, I appreciate you taking the time to enlighten me on a subject that I'm unfamiliar with because the only issue I have with Cross DJ is regarding the FirstMix controller. It could be my fault that it's not working.
This discussion makes me feel like I've been a member here for a while. Maybe later I'll reveal why I've switched from Virtual DJ Pro to Cross DJ... until then I will attempt to resolve the controller issue....
