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 Key-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 Action-Learn interface for selecting the
action from the skin.
All of these functions are performed from the right most area of the Mapper tab.
