Aloha, I've got a mighty old controller that I still fancy, and would like to use more!
Never could figure out how to get the LED's lit up with VDJ. They worked fine with mlrv, which comes mapped for the controller.
The technical details of the controller are up on wayback machine;

What would a sample LED assignment look like in the mapping file?

<map value="0-BUTTON0" action="play_button" />

It won't be in mapping, you need to write a definition file
NOTE can be 0x00 - 0xFF
NAME will be the name in the mapping for the button LED
DEFAULT will be the state of the button script it follows if you don't script the LED in mapping.
CH will be the midi channel 0-15 [note vdj uses 0 as the first channel some devices use 1 as the first channel, midiTrace will report as vdj expects]
It's a full configurable device so what NOTE & CH you need is yours to configure or you can discover the defualt with http://www.virtualdj.com/download/miditrace.exe
you'll need to read this as you will [have to] create a definition file

I think I'm in business! Got the first button lit up!
Should be able to define the rest of this beast now. Ty ty
I will probably post up more fully formed files for review once I'm done. There's all kinds of handy stuff tucked into the script lingo. Looking forward to getting more tips.

Everything is working brilliantly...except for the six additional function buttons which trigger but the LEDs don't light up!
I believe they're defined correctly in the Device file, the rest of the grid works fine. I'd like to use these to outline different operation modes, and tracking which one is in use is critical.
I couldn't find anything in the old documentation, or the vdj wiki.

not sure, maybe try grab the device config SW if it still exists
extra note
you've done this and it might lead to problems down the line
do this instead

<led note="0x00" name="0-BUTTON0"/>
<button note="0x00" name="0-BUTTON0"/>
do this instead
<led note="0x00" default="0-BUTTON0" name="LED_0-BUTTON0"/>
<button note="0x00" name="0-BUTTON0"/>

this has been maddening!
i am starting to think those last buttons just simply may not be wired for LED; they arent lit up in any of the related tutorial videos. which is crazy to think. the bigger sister and predecessor the Livid OHM has the same damn function buttons, clearly lit up.
i guess ill have to deal with my mode togglers existing as custom buttons and referencing the screen.
