I have noticed the new Qu Neo mapping plug in. Has anyone used it? What did you think of it? From reading the attached PDF, I have a question. How do you adjust the BPM for beat matching? It only mentions pitch bending! I don't like using the SYNC button. (Not trying to start a debate, I am just stating MY preference!). Thanks in advance for your responses.

There are so many possibilities with the QuNeo. We tried to stick with things that made the best sense based on the design and options of building a single preset that would work best for VirtualDJ, but allow people to also make changes to their liking.
The vertical sliders make the most sense for pitch fader control - but you have the horizontals as well.
But look at the mappings and see if there is something you could live without in the mapping? Or something that could move up to a 'Shift' control scenario. For example, here is the default vertical slider mappings -
BTN_Vertical_Slider_1 >> var "$shift" ? deck left volume 0% : nothing
Vertical_Slider_1 >> var "$shift" ? nothing : deck left volume
LED_Vertical_Slider_1 >> deck left volume
BTN_Vertical_Slider_2 >> var "$shift" ? deck right volume 0% : nothing
Vertical_Slider_2 >> var "$shift" ? nothing : deck right volume
LED_Vertical_Slider_2 >> deck right volume
BTN_Vertical_Slider_3 >> var "$shift" ? headphone_volume 0% : nothing
Vertical_Slider_3 >> var "$shift" ? nothing : headphone_volume
LED_Vertical_Slider_3 >> headphone_volume
BTN_Vertical_Slider_4 >> var "$shift" ? nothing : nothing
Vertical_Slider_4 >> var "$shift" ? nothing : headphone_mix
LED_Vertical_Slider_4 >> headphone_mix
If you don't need the SHIFT actions for instant volume kill (Shift+Vertical Slider Push) - then you could change the vertical sliders to something more appealing like Pitch fader control and move volume control to the SHIFT level.
BTN_Vertical_Slider_1 >> var "$shift" ? nothing : nothing
Vertical_Slider_1 >> var "$shift" ? deck left volume : deck left pitch_slider
LED_Vertical_Slider_1 >> var "$shift" ? deck left volume : deck left pitch
BTN_Vertical_Slider_2 >> var "$shift" ? nothing : nothing
Vertical_Slider_2 >> var "$shift" ? deck right volume : deck right pitch_slider
LED_Vertical_Slider_2 >> var "$shift" ? deck right volume : deck right pitch
OR, maybe you don't care for headphone volume or mix control -
BTN_Vertical_Slider_3 >> var "$shift" ? deck left pitch_reset : nothing
Vertical_Slider_3 >> var "$shift" ? nothing : deck left pitch_slider
LED_Vertical_Slider_3 >> deck left pitch
BTN_Vertical_Slider_4 >> var "$shift" ? deck right pitch_reset : nothing
Vertical_Slider_4 >> var "$shift" ? nothing : deck right pitch_slider
LED_Vertical_Slider_4 >> deck right pitch
But the choice is yours on what modifications you need to make and where. Plus if you want to dive into creating another Preset (or use one of the exisiting) then you could extend the mapping even more to fit your needs.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your response. This is exactly what I was looking for!

One more question. Could you possibly give me the code to fader start, so that the track starts playing when the cross fader is moved? Thanks in advance.

Here is the list of VDJScript actions (verbs) - http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/VDJscript_verbs.html
What you need to do is assign a button to enable/disable - fader_start
Either use a keyboard shortcut - or change one of the buttons on the QuNeo
