Hello, I found your mapping for the Denon DN-S3700 (I have 2 of them) and would like to use it for mixxx. I managed to copy the files to the user share and could load them in mixxx, the connection could be made and midi is working. But when I try to control a deck with one of the Denon, mixxx says something like "Vinyl control is only available with a soundcard as input". How do you use this presets? What should I configure? Thanks for your help and the great mapping :). Sincerely Sven

Hey Sven!

Thank you for interest in the mapping. I must warn you that the project has been abandoned until who knows when. Though I had fun working on this mapping it was taking a lot of time, and at the moment it is hard for me to find more time to work on it.

The message you are seeing is probably due to activating vinyl control mode on line 280 of Denon-DN-S3700-hybrid-scripts.js. You could uncomment that line to hide the message, but you may need to expand the mapping if you want it to work without the "hybrid mode". My goal was to use the hybrid mode (hence the name! :), so you get both MIDI as well as vinyl emulation. Viny control is described here: https://www.mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/vinyl_control. To use vinyl you will need a soundcard with inputs that will be connects to DN-S3700's outputs. I'm hoping this is clear.

Please, feel free to ask more questions and I will do my best to get back to you. In the event you decide to also to contribute or take over the development of the mapping you will be more than welcome :)

Again,

Hey, thanks for your response :). Well I currently have no audio interface to input the 2 Denon seperately, so it seems I can not use the hybrid mode, correct? I also like the idea, I will take a look if I can use my Denon DN-XN 1700 as Soundcard for mixxx, then the interface could be used. I also apprechiate your work, the first tests looks really good.
