How do I map and Define an LCD text screen in VirtualDJ8. I am trying to map/define the SysEx LCD for the Ableton Push.

240 71 127 21 {line} 0 69 0 {ASCII char1} {ASCII char2} ... {ASCII char68} 247
the value of the {line} byte is:
24 for line 1 of the LCD
25 for line 2
26 for line 3
27 for line 4

VDJ uses hex so i am converting your data to hex
240 71 127 21 -->hex F0 47 7F 15
Line1 : 24 ->hex 18
0 69 0 -> hex 00 45 00
ASCII characters : you need 68 bytes with 00 for VDJ to fill
End of sysex 247 ->hex F7
So the sysex is
F0 47 7F 15 18 00 45 00 ... followed by 68 bytes with 00 ... F7
In your definition try..
<text sysex="F0477F15180045000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000F7" offset="8" size="68" encoding="ascii" name="LINE1" />
i hope i counted the bytes correctly :)
So what VDJ does is starting from byte 8 (offset - VDJ starts counting bytes from 0 and not 1), reserves 68 bytes after that and fills with ASCII bytes
and then assign the LINE1 as whatever text you want e.g. get_sample_name 1 (should show the name of Sample 1)
PS.Since the space ASCII character is hex 20, there is a chance that the 68 bytes need to be filled with 20 instead of 00, so if the above doesnt work or provides "glitches" try sysex="F0477F151800450020202020202020....

BTW, i found this document https://app.box.com/s/w900ll2tq3tj83raes2a
On page 9 it provides the sysex you need to send in order the unit to be set to User or Live mode. Not sure which one is the one you need to set the unit to, but you should definitely choose one of them, so that it accepts custom text sysex.
So in your definition you must include..
240 71 127 21 98 0 1 1 247 which in hex its F0 47 7F 15 62 00 01 01 F7 (User mode)
<init sendsysex="F0477F1562000101F7"/>
or
240 71 127 21 98 0 1 0 247 which in hex its F0 47 7F 15 62 00 01 00 F7 (Live mode)
<init sendsysex="F0477F1562000100F7"/>

It is automatically in User mode. Live mode is what it uses to communicate with its native software Ableton Live.
Thank you, you have solved my problem. Now I need to separate each section of the LCD, but you have set me back on my way. Thank you for your help.

Blimey.
I was just about to ask a similar question. lol
I've written a software midi device to accept the sysex message (emulating the ableton push), to receive the text and then use TTS to read the text over my headphones.
Looks like you saved me some trouble. :-)
cheers

Could you tell me if you managed to seperate the sections?
(I tried other offsets but all the other sections in the line get overwritten.)
EDIT:
Ok, did it :D

Tip : To avoid long get_text scripts in mapping, since the 68 characters can be used to display more than 1 type of info, you could also split the text sysex into smaller pieces...by nesting multiple <sysex>
So could be...
<text sysex="F0477F15180045000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000F7">
<sysex name="LINE1_PIECE_1" encoding="ascii" offset="8" size="17" scroll="no" />
<sysex name="LINE1_PIECE_2" encoding="ascii" offset="25" size="17" scroll="no" />
<sysex name="LINE1_PIECE_3" encoding="ascii" offset="42" size="17" scroll="no" />
<sysex name="LINE1_PIECE_4" encoding="ascii" offset="59" size="17" scroll="no" />
</text>
So could be...
<text sysex="F0477F15180045000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000F7">
<sysex name="LINE1_PIECE_1" encoding="ascii" offset="8" size="17" scroll="no" />
<sysex name="LINE1_PIECE_2" encoding="ascii" offset="25" size="17" scroll="no" />
<sysex name="LINE1_PIECE_3" encoding="ascii" offset="42" size="17" scroll="no" />
<sysex name="LINE1_PIECE_4" encoding="ascii" offset="59" size="17" scroll="no" />
</text>

I figured it out soon after I started programing it... I only read you comment now ^^
Thanks again! It helped all very much and my display is finally working after 4 years of owning the push!
