[FAQ] What are the main MIDI controls ?

[polocorp]

Here are some of the basic MIDI commands for MixVibes as explained by DJ9 in his Fnch post and transalated by myself.
Hope this can help the more techy Djs in this community until we release a much awaited MIDI learning feature.
Please share your MIDI mappings of new and classic MIDI devices

cheers

This is a post made by Eric when he explain perfectly how to write the keyboard definition file for MV. It not only explain it, it helps too for the scripts (i love them!)...at the end u'll find a short script i did for backspin.. try it and start to write new scripts to share in our forums!

The syntax for SCRIPT is simple

COMMAND CH VAL OPTION TIME

COMMAND is the name of command (see menu list)

CH is the channel where apply the command

0 = active channel
I = inactive channel

the active channel is the channel where the script is executed (inactive is opposite channel)

if you use Active and inactive your script is independant of the execution channel

1 .. 16 : specific channel

A,B : Selected channel in the crossfader for A and B

VAL is the value for the command
this value can be a value for volume, for pitch ...

OPTION is more used for controller definition file (keyboard, MIDI, dmc1 ...)

INITUP
indicates to set at zero when button unpressed
used for pitch bend button for example

INC (Increment)
indicates to increment the field by the value

for example
you can be used to incrementing volume by 1db

VOLUME 0 10 INC

INT (Interrupt)
indicates to continue to send the command (each 100ms)
when the button continue to be pressed

TRANSDN (Transform Down)
Set the value (VAL) when the button is pressed (VAL=1)

TRANSDN (Transform Up)
Set the value (VAL) when the button is unpressed (VAL=0)

NOUP
don't send command when the button is unpressed

FADEUP (not yet implement)
create a fade up for setting the value
for example, use for creating a volume fade in

FADEDN (not yet implement)
create a fade down for setting the value
for example, use for creating a volume fade out

you can also have a value option

you can have more than 1 option

TIME is to be used to sequencing each command
TIME=+10
the command will be started 10 ms after the last command
TIME=+1t
the command will be started 1 beat after the last command
if you don not write +
the time is not relative
TIME=1t
the command will be started 1 beat after the beginning of the start of the script

for the file definition
for keyboard, you start the name of key (A ..Z or PF1 ... PF10)
for MIDI, you start by the MIDI controller

AS I WROTE, here is the backspin script:

// plat the active channel
PLAY 0 1

//fast reverse
REVERSE 0 1 TIME=+0t
PITCHBEND 0 +50.0 TIME=+0t
BRAKE 0 4T TIME=+0.5t

//unbrake and play
UNBRAKE 0 1T TIME=+2.5t
REVERSE 0 0 TIME=+0t
PITCHBEND 0 0 TIME=2.5t

JUST SETUP MIXVIBES 3DEX USED IT BEFORE BUT IT HAS BEEN AWHILE.MY HERcules console is not working with software are there any settings i need to change?

[yanndj]

Hello
Is your DjConsole the first or MKII one ?
Are you using last 3dex version 6.395 ?
If not, and if you version is older than 6.363 you need first to upgrade to 6.363 http://www.mixvibes.DJ/update-3dex-363-not-for-u46mk2-t7511.html
Then to upgrade to 6.395 replacement exe only http://www.mixvibes.DJ/hercules-console-mk2-midi-file-replacement-exe-file-t8510.html.
Don't forget to delete or rename the HDJSAPI.dll located in your MixVibes folder.

When you're done, just use Options->DjConsole to activate it, using the correct control file (named with 1 or 2 inside) depending on the DjConsole version you have.
Chosing the control file will also allow you to use either
- rotary as pitch and slider as volume
- volume slider as pitch and pitch rotary as gain

Hi ,

First post update ,

added some informations (after the table) found on the forum about options for mixvibes commands.
