Hi Guys,
I was wondering if there was a tutorial or a help-file that will tell me how to map my keyboard. There are some things that I would like to do on my keyboard while spinning my decks. It's probably easiest to use MVmapper.exe or is it easier to use the keyboard-tab in the options-window? But the MVmapper.exe-box is a bit hard to understand and on the other hand, I'm not that good at "programming".
Maybe somebody already knows the answer?
-I would like to use the arrows on my keyboard to go to a song (that works(!)) and then press a button to either send it to the left player (player 1/A) or the right (player 2/B)
-I would like to hold my platter/vinyl at a particular place in the song, press a button (or a combination, like ctrl-1/2/3/4) and that it will generate a cue-point. Then later I would like to press 1/2/3/4 to go automatically to that cuepoint.
-I would also like to know whether there is a function (and an assignable key) to the next problem. Let's say you have a song playing on your right-hand deck and the next song you want to play is a song that you would like to mix in using a very difficult scratch-move that u can only do using your right hand, so you want the song to load in the right deck and have the song that is already playing in the right deck to move to the other, left deck. For example, it would be nice to have a button that duplicates the song that you're playing to the other deck so you can move your crossfader on your own mixer to the left and you can now load the new song in the right deck and do the mad scratch you wanted.
I hope this is understandable...
Maybe it is helpfull to have a look at this next DJ, who does a nice radioshow online. Every week he makes a small vid of it and puts it online. If you look closely, you can see how he uses his keyboard to do some things, especially duplicating a track in the other player, then give it a small hold on the platter so it's just bit behind the (it's own) beat and juggle around. He's using Serato though...)

this link, have a look at the video called "ML75.NL Weekmix 20/09 DJ TLM (Hi-Hater)". For example, at 1:30 he pushes a button that automatically duplicates his track to the next player at the exact same point in the song so there both running exactly the same. After that he does a short juggle. Have a look at his other weekmixes too, they're nice so listen to and look at.
Thanks a milli in advance for the replies!!!
EDIT: Mind you, I'm still working with version 6 'cause I can't update yet, don't know if the new MVmapper is different ?
