Section: All other sections
- The rest of the buttons and sliders follow their factory configuration.

Additional Mapper features:
- Fully supports DJ Lunatico's DN-MC6000 Pro v8 Skin set.
- Synchronized transport control lighting with the use of matching Skin sets.

Protected Cue:
Normally the CUE can be overwritten with the CUE button when the deck is paused, when "Protected Cue" is active, pressing CUE while the deck is paused will take you back to the pre-existing CUE rather than setting a new one. With this mapper, when the Deck is paused, the CUE light will BLINK when the CUE is overwritable (just like the Pioneer units) and remain OFF when you cannot set a new CUE (protected).

Additional notes:
- Matched skins are available in the SKINS section:
http://www.virtualdj.com/addons/16825/DN-MC6000_Pro__v8.html
- Some functions are activated by using a combination of buttons on the controller. When using SHIFT in your sequence make sure you press SHIFT FIRST and release LAST. There is a bug in VDJ where if you release SHIFT while still holding your secondary button and do this enough times VDJ will stop communicating with the controller until you restart VDJ.
- Other functions require you to hold the secondary button for a specific amount of time in order for a particular feature to be activated. Note that triggering occurs at the release of the button. Not waiting the amount of time required will trigger the other function that did not require the holding time.
- You may need to re-adjust your starting volumes for the SAMPLES playback

Instructions:
*** IMPORTANT***: Since VDJ8 supports multiple mappers for a given controller, make sure you select the correct mapper for the DN-MC6000 otherwise you might get unexpected controller behaviour.
Just download the XML file and put it in the MAPPERS folder of Virtual DJ.
