I am reviewing the Midi Fighter for http://www.digitaldjtips.com/, and working on some mappings so I can use Virtual DJ in my review.
Here's my question:
If I map a button on the computer keyboard, the OS's auto repeat kicks in automatically. So for instance, on my laptop, if I map a button to
When I hold that button down on the keyboard, after a split second it continually repeats, meaning the master_volume increases without me having to repeatedly press the button.
However, if I program a key on the Midi Fighter to the same function:
using the Simple Midi Wrapper, pressing the button has the effect of increasing the master_volume parameter once only, as there is no auto repeat.
Is there a way of making a Midi Fighter button (or I guess any Midi button) auto repeat if it is held down, in the same way as it functions on a keyboard?
Thanks for any help! :)

Via Midi or Hid is not possible to have an auto repeat, I will try to ask another time in the next future beta session because you are not the first one that ask this function.

That's great, thanks. It would allow for the ability to use two buttons to "copy" the function of a fader or knob - really useful in keyboard mapping and would be good for Midi too. Much appreciated.

You can set up customized repeats for button presses using "Autohotkey": http://www.autohotkey.com/. I guess your midi fighter device is MIDI/HID. If not you can use Bome's MIDI translator which turns MIDI into keystrokes.
Im just learning how to use Autohotkey myself, as I would like to set up repeat macros in VDJ. I'd like a button to repeat X number of times if I press it once, and sometimes spread out over a period of time - for example for controlling very gradual tempo changes.
