hi

I have been trying my hardest to achieve this without success… i even tried the CrossMap without success…

All i wish to do is use the endless encoder on the mxr10 to scroll forward and backwards through the playlists/smart lists… i have pretty much mapped everything else i need and this is the only thing left..

I am unable to get the encoder to scroll forwards and backwards…. I can only seem to get it to scroll one way…. I mean when i rotate the encoder clockwise i wish to scroll down through the lists and when i rotate anti clockwise i wish it to scroll up.

could anybody shed some light on this?

BTW i have tried all the available options but i imagine there is some method that i have yet to discover….

have to say loving the Cross DJ
Thanks in advance

Please register your Cross DJ license key in your user profile.

If you upload your mapping someone with appropriate knowledge may be able to help you better.

Hi RoJeC

Unsure how to go about registering it as I bought it from the App Store


Thanks

Please check out the link in my signature on registering and on Apple store.

Thanks again RoJeC

I just contacted Apple to send my bill... They have yet to send it to me.. As soon as I do I shall use the instructions in your last post

Thanks

The problem that you described can be fix in two ways depending on your level of experience.

If you are experienced in mapping using code and not just the MIDI learn interface in Cross, I can send code that you will insert in your map to take care of the problem.

If you are not that experienced, then you should post your map. I can then take a look to determine the fix. if I can fix it, I will post the fixed file with a description of what I did to fix it.

Hi FigDJ

Please send the code and I will append to the map I have created.

Because I failed at creating the encoder to do as I requested there is no mapped feature on my current map.

Many thanks!!

Disclaimer- The following code should work. However, I have no way to test it in case your controller/mixer have special requirements.

make sure that you change your parameter and channel to work with your controller.

Code: Select all

        <mapping name="SELECTOR">
          <events>
            <MIDI type="CC" parameter="0x40" channel="0x7"/>
          </events>
          <controls>
            <control alias="fam(Tracker).BrowseActiveBrowsable"/>
          </controls>
          <preset name="Inc.-Dec. Integer Fader/Knob">
            <parameters>
              <parameter object="map" key="backwardIntegerRange" value="-1 -63"/>
              <parameter object="map" key="backwardNormalRange" value="1 0.511811024"/>
              <parameter object="map" key="forwardIntegerRange" value="1 63"/>
              <parameter object="map" key="forwardNormalRange" value="0.00787401575 0.496062992"/>
              <parameter object="step" key="factor" value="1"/>
            </parameters>
          </preset>
        </mapping>

Once again, remember to change parameter and channel to match your controller.

parameter="0x40" channel="0x7"/>

Hey GigDJ

Many thanks!!
Much appreciated I will do this when i get home later and report back

Thanks again!

Hi GigDJ

I have tried your code

However it still only travels in 1 direction… currently downwards only...

I tried the code you supplied in my mapping and tried in a new blank mapping with just the code you supplied and the values of the MXR10 as below.. parameter="0x34" channel="0x1 which is what is detected when i rotate the encoder.

<mapping name="SELECTOR">
<events>
<MIDI type="CC" parameter="0x34" channel="0x1"/>
</events>
<controls>
<control alias="fam(Tracker).BrowseActiveBrowsable"/>
</controls>
<preset name="Inc.-Dec. Integer Fader/Knob">
<parameters>
<parameter object="map" key="backwardIntegerRange" value="-1 -63"/>
<parameter object="map" key="backwardNormalRange" value="1 0.511811024"/>
<parameter object="map" key="forwardIntegerRange" value="1 63"/>
<parameter object="map" key="forwardNormalRange" value="0.00787401575 0.496062992"/>
<parameter object="step" key="factor" value="1"/>
</parameters>
</preset>
</mapping>

The only way so far i can get it to "work" is using a modifier - doesn't seem normal to me though to need a modifier to scroll forward and back on an encoder…

For kicks i tried Serato DJ and Traktor - both map easily enough and work as expected…. I am not trying to compare these software but only wanted to check there was nothing special needed to make it work….

Thanks for your help though
