I just found the cause that let MIDI Rules hang up.
Currently if you use MIDI Rules for a while and specially if you trigger the controls fast, MIDI Rules will stop working.
The cause is a deadlock the timer code of MIDI Rules. (If you press ctrl+break in the MIDI Rules console window you can see the heap dump of the Java VM).
I will publish a bug fix release of MIDI Rules Prototype in the next days. So keep an eye on this blog.
P.S.: Sorry Behringer that I thought it’s a bug in the BCD2000 Hardware

Thanks a lot for the comment. I spend a lot of time in midi rules for me because my software ideal is traktor 2.5 and when hangs up i think to use virtualdj, but this software is very very stable, but i don´t like, not has for example a mute, the sliders don´t work fine and the sound in traktor is very very better and the information for the song and for the mix, and the record button for the movements of the controls is great. the only thing that is better in virtual(for the novice djs, not for me) is the autosync, but i don´t need. If midi rules don´t hang i return inmediately to traktor. Thank you very much.

Wud MIDI-Rules work on Linux? With something that supports Win32 apps?

Hey Cyc0kraut,
Has this fix been released yet? I’m so impressed by your workaround and the only thing spoiling it is the occasional hangup.
Cheers for all your work!

Waiting with fingers crossed for that fix! Also wondering where Cyc0krauT is while waiting. Once I start making money from my deejaying I think I will be in a position to donate something to his project!

New MIDI Rules Prototype has been released. Sorry for the long waiting time.

mariusz & darren355: are you using a dual core laptop?
I was just reading some things about the bcd 3000 and I found out that the ASIO driver can giver problems with a dual core laptop
from the behringer site: http://behringer-en.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/behringer_en.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1159&p_created=1185873369&p_sid=rLlWmZHi&p_accessibility=0&p_redirect=&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPSZwX3NvcnRfYnk9JnBfZ3JpZHNvcnQ9JnBfcm93X2NudD0yMzgmcF9wcm9kcz0mcF9jYXRzPSZwX3B2PSZwX2N2PSZwX3NlYXJjaF90eXBlPWFuc3dlcnMuc2VhcmNoX25sJnBfcGFnZT0x&p_li=&p_topview=1

During the development of my Mac driver for the BCD2000 I have repeatedly bumped into this problem, and that was without MIDIRules. What happens is that the BCD2000 just stops sending MIDI data, so I’m afraid I’ll have to stick to my original statement that it’s a hardware bug. Of course, this does not mean an additional bug in MIDIRules might worsen the situation, but I don’t think you can fix this entirely for all platforms (it seems to depend on the USB host chip being used).
You can use USB Snoop on Windows to see if you have the hardware bug.

I have a new BCD3000 as well. Can you send me the new mappings you’ve just made (tks and drl,?
thanks in advance!

For those having problems with unexpected stops while playing music on a laptop… try to extract the battery.
I had the same problem, and I don’t tried everything to solve it, but that weird thing solved it!
ps: i don’t know why….
