Back online now, better late than never.
Next test underway.

thanks man

Okay i found that testing as normal worked their for second pressing was not needed for mapping 20 apart from the last part of test.

CUE too ROLL was working as intended:
CUE that was lit blue goes Off and ROLL mode goes On Turquoise.

CUE too SAMPLER was working as intended:
CUE that was lit blue would go off and SAMPLER mode goes On purple.

Pressing the SAMPLER a second time: turned ROLL On Yellow. (This should give you an idea now based on the new findings above)
Then pressing CUE took me back too CUE On Blue

all these seemed spot on although after testing many times I could still end up with variation, something quite simple can mess things up and still I cant understand this in any relevant sense, but based on my logic and judgment I would say these above are working like I would expect.

I have run through test and tried to see any variables in the push sequences many times over, so see some results below, Although I think my description above is spot on and i better understand it this way at a short glance, so thinking things have fallen into place for me over past week, a few things where lost in translation as I am sure the other way around too, so to put a pun on it !, we are on a roll now lol.

For test 20 lets go with a different premise.

Before We started in CUE Mode then switch to ROLL mode by pressing ROLL.
To turn of ROLL mode we pressed ROLL mode a second time but it hasn't work so far. mostly working without second press

How about assuming that we are OK to turn on ROLL mode but it takes 2 presses to turn off. Not needed

So the test goes likes this.

Start as always in CUE mode
Press ROLL to turn the ROLL mode on - only pressed once and it is okay so did not use that premise of a second push.

What is the CUE mode button doing? On? If it is on, what color? or off? Off no colour (Good)

What is the ROLL mode button doing? On? If it is on, what color? or off? On Turquoise (Good)

After the two presses - Only one press needed.


Same test for sampler mode

I did not restart Cross and controller this time for second part of testing I just carried on with test

Before We started in CUE Mode then switch to ROLL mode by pressing ROLL.
To turn of ROLL mode we pressed ROLL mode a second time but it hasn't work so far.

How about assuming that we are OK to turn on ROLL mode but it takes 2 presses to turn off.

So the test goes likes this.

Start as always in CUE mode
Press SAMPLER to turn the SAMPLER mode on

What is the CUE mode button doing? On? If it is on, what color? or off? after pressing SAMPLER button once - CUE light Off. (Good)
What is the SAMPLER mode button doing? On? If it is on, what color? or off? SAMPLER button On lit Purple (Good)

After the two presses
Now press the SAMPLER mode button twice. this I did and it went to CUE mode Blue and SAMPLER Off (Good)

On a second run of the test straight through no restarting
What is the CUE mode button doing? On? If it is on, what color? or off? CUE button off /SAMPLER Off !
and the outcome was:
What is the ROLL mode button doing? On? If it is on, what color? or off? Roll button Turquoise, On a third test its lit yellow,

on occasion I end up with variation and even re-Starting everything has not corrected all the button from cycling trough and then flipping the order in which buttons light up or show on/off states,
not sure how or why this is, more likely just the fact that this is where we need to start with the continuation of the coding, we are just about half way through mapping the pads and the odds should be more in your favour as we go.

I hope this helps.

Attention to all those interested in this map.
Due to recent problems with Mixvibes I won't resume this mapping activity.

I am trying to establish communication with the Mixvibes Team to resolve the issue. However, I have not received any responses to my inquiries. Until such time that the issues are resolved, I must stop any further code development for my own protection.

Will post on this subject as soon as possible pending resolution.
Thanks for the help on testing.

Not a problem, I hope you sort things out.

I know FigDJ was away for the weekend (or at least not online). Should be back (later) today or tomorrow. As for the rest I am not sure what the status is.

No way it can be fully done without some one with Coding knowledge and has the controller, this controller is not quite as you would expect, otherwise I could have finished it off less the lighting etc as I have done with many controllers in the past, and I will not copy the MIDI control data for the awkward things FigDJ has already done that have proved tricky for me this time as its not right too do so when its mainly FigDJ's work, all I have been doing is relaying the controller coding results back to Fig as he does not own this controller unfortunately, so it looks like we are stuck on this for now.

Pity Mixvibes has fallen behind with the controller releases over the past year or two , I would have hoped they would off had contacted the controller makers to request these, after all I know many who don't have these credentials yet still get access to the many controllers being releases just for reviews sake etc, whilst mixvibes is a business that I don't see why these company's would not help out its in their interests. so its areal shame and at the moment with no contact on the forums etc I am starting to get a little worried, I hope Cross does not go the same way as Deckadance and m-audio x software for the various reasons. I would have hoped to have seen something from mixvibes before xmas , think they are going too loose many more customers because of this years lack of anything really, the many times I would said I would pay for the more complex updated as I am sure others would too for the wright devotion from mixvibes, personally I understand they need to make money to progress, but I think they are barking up the wrong tree hoping on their iPad software etc alone to do this, but yet I still think their is a huge opening for another DJ software , Cross could be it, but its not looking like this at present , I just don't understand it really' bad business if you ask me, maybe their is a genuine reason but this should have no baring on mixvibes existing fan base .

We can but hope we will be spoken too very soon , but alas I see this being the biggest downfall for mixvibes unless they pull the rabbit out of the hat so to speak, I love them for what they have done so far, but disappointed in the silence here and how they have slowed down a lot more than should have been expected, so much promise, so near yet far to competing with the top 2 other competitors, real bad decisions have been made, and this is said in no way to diss mixvibes, just out of concern. At present I am getting to grips with Serato and my controller again, and its is usable for me in the long term, but just annoying that they will never have live previewing/track pre cue systems this they have stated apparently its too difficult for them to put in place based on their coding and will never happen, again this is where Cross excels over all, dam shame.

I would say to others though at least give mixvibes into early next year for some communications on Cross etc before you decide to completely jump ship.

well... time to move on...

well... time to move on...

Do you mean move on from Cross or move on from the thread?

So far Mixvibes have talk a good game over email. I hope they move forward with some actions. I am still waiting.
