Forum: Hardware Technical Support - Topic: Icon Idj Scratch wheel problem

Hi I recently got a Icon Idj and have been trying to map it to Vdj. I'm having the problem of whenever the track is playing and I try to scratch the track starts playing again as soon as the platter stops moving instead of staying paused until I take my hand off the platter. I have tried to map touch on and touch off messages to "scratch wheel touch" and other things but whenever I do this is just reads the touch wheel on message. Any idea? Thanks for your time.

If it has a touch sensitive jogwheel then map the following to the jogwheel's movement left/right:

touchwheel

Or if you are using simple MIDI wrapper, you may need:

param_greater 50% ? touchwheel +0.1% : touchwheel -0.1%


Map the following to the jogwheel touch sensor's on/off note:

touchwheel_touch

Ok thank you this worked great. the only problem I'm having now is mapping the jogwheels separately to each side of the unit. In simple midi wrapper if I map play pause with "deck left" or "deck right" before it I can map to either deck individually. however If I try this on the jogwheels or pitch faders it does not, It simply controls whichever deck is selected in vdj. Any ideas? Thanks for your time.

You need to add deck left or deck right in front of each action, e.g:

For left jogwheel:

deck left touchwheel_touch

param_greater 50% ? deck left touchwheel +0.1% : deck left touchwheel -0.1%

For right jogwheel:

deck right touchwheel_touch

param_greater 50% ? deck right touchwheel +0.1% : deck right touchwheel -0.1%

Ok thanks for the help. I just have one more question. Whenever I try to map the crossfader, it works fine however, if it is at exactly 50% in the middle it jumps completely over to the left side until I move it to 51% or 49% etc. I tried mapping it like "param_greater 0% ? crossfader" and it works great however, I can only move it to about 99% on the left so I always slightly hear the right track. I then tried mapping it like like "param_greater -1% ? crossfader" and it works fully but It then skips to the left again at 50%. Any ideas?

press the layer button in the centre of the idj, move the crossfader to either end, press the layer button again, it will change the crossfader curve

i made a mistake mapping the notes , it was note 47 and note 46 for touch wheels , now its working , thanx a lot !!!

I have just finished and uploaded an insanely powerful mapping for the idj, it has two layers, one scratch mode, one jog fx mode, in jog fx, there is 9 possabilities of effects, but in total there is 20 eftects mapped to the device. if you get vdj pro you can download it once approved. it will have this picture in the controller download section, since i have finished it, I haven't put it down it's so much fun!

Can you post the link when it will be avaible? :)

Hey, I saw that the iCon iDJ mapping by Synthet1c appeared yesterday. Unfortunately, I don't have a pro license so I can't download it and I haven't lot of money for the moment for buying a full VDJ version.

In this case, how can I do? :(

You will have to wait until you have saved enough money to be able to afford to purchase the full Pro version.
