Hi Edy, firstly i must say that your software it´s  great, im very happy with free version, good job!

I´m from Brazil (so, sorry for my bad english, i don´t wanto try wrote in spanish becouse i´m very confused to translate this text) and very interested in mp3 controllers, but i have no maney as well so....

Since i have tested the last beta with joystick support i´m planning to build a controller via joystick, i have 2 cdj piooner 500 and 1 had broken in 1996 and i can´t do a reppair since that, so i decide to hack and use a joystick circuit do make a controller.

i soldered the pitch circuit to a "y" axis (+5v and GND pins) into a joy circuit and the buttons o cdj to buttons of joystick, works like a charm to me but when move pitch fader it´s send continuos signal to y axis... can you do via software a way that a y axis send a temporary data?

here are some pictures of it:

Congratulations!! Your controller looks great!

I don't fully understand you here, please explain it with more details.

Have you calibrated the joystick at Windows' Control Panel > Game Devices?

Yes, i calibrated the jay.

But, the pitch of software only stop moving when i move the pitch fader (Y axis) to center and i would like to stop move pitch fader, (no on center fader) and the software stop moving.

I routed the joystick to midi to control virtualdj and there has a option to send temporary comand.

hope that you understand, thank´s

I think I got it. By default the Y axis of the joystick is mapped to the function "Pitch adjusts", which moves the pitch at a rate proportional to the movement of the Y axis (thus, the pitch doesn't move at center position).

In order to do what you want you must map the Y axis to the "Pitch set" command.

Click The "Controls" button (lower right corner of the program). Find the "Pitch Adjust" and "Pitch Bend" funcions. Remove all controls for these functions.

Then find and select the "Pitch set" function. Click "Add", move your slider and... voila!

Please let me know if it worked.

NOTE: I recommend you to try this procedure in latest beta (1.2.2). I'm uploading it right now, so it should be available when you read this.

Best regards!

Ok, i will download now and tell you..

thanks again

Thank you for the latest beta, now works greeeaatt!!

I do the same thing on jogwheel... it´s my cdj500 on my pc! Thank you so much!
