Hey guys,
I got the following challenge. As can be read in this thread http://www.virtualdj.com/forums/157305/General_Discussion/VirtualDJ_LE_reading_out_fader_positions_and_VDJ_Pro_not____.html the VDJ LE version I got with my VCI-400 is newer than the current VDJ pro release and supports the controller better. In particular setting all the parameters/sliders/controls in VDJ to the exact position of the equivalents on the controller on boot.
I wanna find out the difference in midi communication on boot between VDJ LE and Pro in order to create an oninit statement in the mapper that will force this behaviour in the current version of VDJ pro.
Probably its a sys exclusive command that triggers the VCI to return data.
Is there any way to 'monitor or sniff' the communication between VDJ and the controller?

Or its of course very much appreciated if any developer would like to disclose the initial communication :P
Thx ;)

It should be a SYSEX command, and it should be documented on your controllers manual (at least thats the case with all controllers I ever come across).
If you still need a MIDI monitoring program, send me a PM

It was already explained that this has been updated in the definition/mapping for PRO and will be handled in the next PRO release.
If you want to build from scratch the entire definition file then you are more than welcome to do that. This functionality can only be placed in the device definition with the proper SysEx message statement to handle the new functionality added to the VCI-400's firmware.

Mm,
In my simplicity I would think its a matter of making a customer mapper to get the xml file and than adding the oninit statements for the initial communication and indeed just release that mapper.
Or... would that be much more work than that?
And shamefully the manual of the VCI only deals with standard midi definitions and no sysex.
