midi2vJoy 2

works with endless encoders: use your dj controller as a steering wheel!

1. Download and install vJoy from sourceforge
2. Download midi2vjoy.exe from the latest release
3. Test the MIDI connection with midi2vjoy.exe -t
4. Create mapping (Help: midi2vjoy --config-help or down below)
5. Start midi2vjoy.exe with midi2vjoy.exe -c <your config file> -m <midi device id>

If your config file is named mapping.conf and is located in the same directory as midi2vjoy.exe, you can start midi2vjoy with just midi2vjoy.exe -m <midi device id> or midi2vjoy.exe if your device number is 1.

# midi2vJoy 2 has 3 modes:

# SLIDERS
# <midi_channel> <midi_subchannel> --slider-> <vJoy_id> <axis>
177 8 --slider-> 1 Z

# BUTTONS
# <midi_channel> <midi_subchannel> <midi_value> --button-> <vJoy_id> <button_id> <down/up>
146 7 127 --button-> 1 1 down
146 7 0 --button-> 1 1 up

# BUTTON-AXIS: this is a special one designed for endless encoders.
# It takes a button as an input and adds or subtracts a value to an axis.
# <midi_channel> <midi_subchannel> <midi_value> --button-axis-> <vJoy_id> <axis> <value>
178 10 1 --button-axis-> 1 Y +25
178 10 127 --button-axis-> 1 Y -25

# finally, you can use the following to set an axis to a specific value at startup:
# <axis> <value>
Y 16384
Z 0

# the axis range is 0-32768
# hint: 50% is 16384
