Topic: How to map Jogwheel to a rotary encoder the correct way

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I have a Behringer DDM-4000 and am trying to map a rotary encoder (in non-midi mode, it's an EQ pot) to control the jogwheel. It's essentially being used to slightly move the track +/- to precisely line up a cue point. I've searched extensively through posts, and have read the MIDI scripting FAQ, but still can't seem to get the correct function.

My current coding is:
deck 1 param_greater 50% ? deck 1 jogwheel +0.1% : deck 1 jogwheel -0.1%

If the encoder is at 12:00, and I advance it clockwise, the track advances. This is the correct function. However, if I bring the encoder backward in a counter-clockwise movement, it STILL advances the track until it's back to 12:00, at which point, the track will reverse if continuing to scroll CCW. If I reach the "stop" of the encoder and advance clockwise, the track continues to reverse until 12:00 is hit.

What am I missing?

This will only work with an endless encoder (A knob with no min/max stopping points.)

With a normal min/max knob such as EQ, this will not be possible.
 

I had it working the correct way that I mentioned on my work's PC version of VDJ. I think it may've been version 5.? though. Has this changed?

To reiterate, I only need to adjust the track within 1 or 2 beats... I'm not looking to scratch or anything. If anything, consider it a "fine tune" knob to set a cue point.
 

Any input as to what's changed from v5 to v6?
 

VirtualDJ v6 has a new mapping interface that allows any MIDI/HID controller to be fully supported with working LED's, etc.

Perhaps you could have a look at your works PC to see what it is mapped to?
