Reset Defaults, Delete an Assigned Key, or Add a New Key Entry

Below the list of assigned keys for the selected controller, are three buttons

that provide access to these functions. The first button will reset the

selected device to the original settings* when first installed. The second

‘Trash’ button will remove a selected key entry from the list. The last ‘Plus’

button will add a new entry to the list for assigning a key and action.

* Note – the reset to original settings only applies to the natively installed devices. Devices

added using an independent definition and mapping file cannot be reset to their original settings

using this method. * To learn more about adding your own device definition and mapping files

please visit our wiki at http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki and view the Controller Definitions section.

Key and Action assignments

The Mapper interface is designed to bring as much flexibility to the user in selecting and assigning

actions for customizing your externally connected devices.

For selecting the key to assign, you can manually select the defined key from a list then enter the action

in the action box. Or, use the VirtualDJ Auto-Learn feature; so when you push or move the key on your

device it recognizes it automatically.

For assigning the actions (VDJScript), you can manually type the entries using the action list and the

action descriptions as a guide or the direct WYSIWYG interface for selecting the action from the skin.

All of these functions are performed from the right most area of the Mapper tab.
