## MIDI Mapping

Example mapping play button on both decks

```xml
<midi app=" 1.9.10.5170">
    <control channel="1" event_type="Note On" control="28">
        <userio event="click">
            <play deck_set="Default" deck_id="1" slot_id="0">
                <translation action_on="press" behaviour="toggle"/>
            </play>
        </userio>
        <userio event="output">
            <play deck_set="Default" deck_id="1" slot_id="0">
                <translation action_on="any">
                    <alias name="on" value="127"/>
                    <alias name="off" value="0"/>
                </translation>
            </play>
        </userio>
    </control>
    <control channel="1" event_type="Note On" control="26">
        <userio event="click">
            <play deck_set="Default" deck_id="0" slot_id="0">
                <translation action_on="press" behaviour="toggle"/>
            </play>
        </userio>
        <userio event="output">
            <play deck_set="Default" deck_id="0" slot_id="0">
                <translation action_on="any">
                    <alias name="on" value="127"/>
                    <alias name="off" value="0"/>
                </translation>
            </play>
        </userio>
    </control>
</midi>
```

There is a top tag calles `<midi>`. Inside we define our mappings using the `<control>` tags.

### Control Tag

Tag parameters define the MIDI message, like the channel, note or control change.

- `channel`
  - **Integer**, *starting from 1*

- `event_type`
  - `"Note On"`
  - `"Control Change"`
  - `"Pitch Wheel"`

- `data_type`:
  - `"Relative Binary Offset"`
  - `"Relative 2&apos;s Complement"`
    - I could pseudo control trim gain knob with a quneo's rotary/jog, jog direction was doing + and - operations on the knob, no control on the knob position
  - `"Absolute 7"`
    - I could control trim gain knob with a quneo's vertical slider, including absolute position by pressing somewhere. No LED feedback.

- `reversed`
  - set it to `"true"` if needed, omit otherwise

One message has an incoming action and/or outgoing reaction or feedback. This is defined by the inner tag `<userio>`, which has a parameter called `event` that takes 2 values: `click` for the action and `output` for the reaction or feedback.

### Control.Userio Tag

### Control.Userio.**SDJCMD** Tag

**SDJCMD** = **S**erato **DJ** **C**o**M**man**D**, defines what Serato app will to when the control message passes

### Control.Userio.**SDJCMD**.Translation Tag

### Control.Userio.**SDJCMD**.Translation.Alias Tag
