Mapping description

Save both MIDI and script files to your controller mapping file locations#user controller mapping folder, then load the preset as described in the user manual

NOTE: As it is not being used in the mapping , I'd recommend disabling the Proximity sensor (AIR control) in the DJControl AIR+ control panel in order to prevent unnecessary MIDI data being sent to Mixxx
