is it possible to use the only avail colors for vci 380 color cue mapping

Dj cuervo 10:22 PM - 30 October, 2015
Since Vci 380 is not fully RGB so cue color mapping for all colors is not possible. Is it possible to force Serato DJ to only use the available colors for the 8 cues slot. Is this something I can do in the Midi configuration file? Does the software chose the color randomly or there is order of colors still available? It would nice if you could lock in those colors. I know Vestax is Dead but Vci 380 needs some type of color mapping.

You can change the colour of the cue points, I have done this. But the VCI380 only 7 colours and only 6 match cue point colours.

Open SDJ 1.8 > Remap the cue points (then save mapping) > Open saved file in Sublime > Edit mapping and save > Load mapping in SDJ

Below is the code:

You can cut and paste this into a new mapping folder.
Dj cuervo 7:46 PM - 31 October, 2015
Ok thanks I will try this!!!!
pushafire 8:33 PM - 31 October, 2015
i tryed this but it wont work here, the colours dont match and on the right deck is still everything green.

this is what i did


open sdj

connect vci380
go into midi setting and enable midi remapping
set up a new mapping
map all cuepoints( now they are light blue)
save midi mapping

close sdj

open xml in sublime
copy and paste the text from above / or delete everything in the xml file and copy and paste the text from above

save file


open sdj again
left side is colored but the colors dont match / right side is all green if the cue point is used


where am i wrong?


could u upload your working xml file?
&Midge 9:21 PM - 31 October, 2015
VCI380 only has 7 bright colours and 7 dim colours so only 6 will match.

I think I only mapped with left deck as I couldn't decide what to do with cue point 2 and 6. If you tell me what colours you want 2 and 6 to be, I'll map the right deck.
pushafire 9:36 PM - 31 October, 2015
thx. i figured out how do also do the second deck proper. but now i experience a other problem.

the slicer auto loop or roll mode wont work anymore cause now only cue point get triggered. can u test this also? or does it work for u?
