Guys I'm currently changing my setup and I'm having to create a definition file and a few custom mappers. Before I go to deep into my frustration I want to get some general advice.
My aim is to use VDJ as a go between between a controller and digital mixer. 90% of my controller is mapped for VDJ and I no longer want to use a 3rd party midi translator for the other 10%. Below are the 2 option I think would work in VDJ:
1. Create a definition folder for digital mixer with each component I want to control set as a global variable i.e. master volume would be mapped as "$mastervolume" and on the controller I would map a slider to "$mastervolume".
2. Create a definition folder for digital mixer but all the commands as "led note", map these to custom faders and buttons in VDJ, then map my controller to the same custom faders and buttons.
Probably should have posted this in technical support, but just want a general opinion from the greater wisdom before going down a path of destruction. Does anyone think either would work? and which option do you think would be the cleanest?

Create a definition with the actual knobs, buttons, sliders etc the way they are on your controller and then create a mapper (or more than one if you have multiple uses for the controller) with the actual actions you want performed by these controls.

Thanks Adion but the action I want to send from mapped button is to send a midi message to another controller (digital mixer), can this be scripted from the mappers file?

Going through variables as you suggested could indeed work.
One controller sets the variable using set_var, the mixer's mapper could read this variable using get_var.
In the definition for outputs there's a couple of options to get midi out such as leds, led bars etc...
