Advanced Setup

MIDI Operation

The factory default Mapping offers the functions described in this Manual, however those can be adjusted to your needs via VDJ Script actions.

A Pro Infinity, a PLUS or a Subscription license is required to customize the Mapping of the MDJ-1000 (the CONTROLLERS tab will not be available in LE mode).

Note. Each MDJ-1000 unit (if more than 1 is connected) will be additionally displayed in this window, and any modifications in the Mapping file will affect all units.
