OK, I want to connect the MIDI on my Pioneer DJM 800 to my laptop so that I can control the crossfader while mixing video. I guess I would need a midi to USB cable? Like this one http://www.brilliantstore.com/computer_cables_dekcell_cpa_1281.html Please help me on this I am not sure what to do. Thanks

After I connect that cable, what do I have to do in Virtual DJ to make it see it.

1- activate general midi on VDJ
2- activate midi on the mixer (button midi on/off)
3- press start/stop on the right bottom of the mixer to synchronize the mixer with VDJ
4- in VDJ, configuration, external controller, right click on general midi, configurate
5- choose the functions, one by one, you want (fader, bass...) and assign a control (on the mixer) by pressing on the button.

I don´t really remember what i did when i have it, I think i had to activate midi on mixer, then VDJ recognized midi msgs. Be sure to connect correct midi plug into mixer if you have 2 of them at cable (in and out).

I got it to work, I had the wrong midi cable plugged into the mixer. Sorry if I had a similar question in a different topic, It is ok to shoot me now...
