Control Jog Wheel in Resolve Fairlight using X-Touch Universal

I wish to use the large Jog/Scrub wheel on a Behringer X-Touch to move up and down the timeline in DaVinci Resolve Fairlight page.
Resolve (Fairlight) have panels with large scrub/Jog knobs that do this, but in Windows it currently requires dragging the timeline cursor with a mouse.

Capturing the incoming CC when going both left and right is straight forward, but what do I use to input that midi message to the Fairlight software? Can I also control the speed of the jogging with greater turns of the X-Touch jog wheel? Many thanks DaveT

Hi and welcome to the Bome community!

I don’t think that Davinci Resolve supports either HUI or Mackie MCU for MIDI functions, however you could certainly convert your jog wheel output to keyboard shortcuts to get the results that you want.

This post shows how you can use various controllers to control different video editing software (including Davinci Resolve). I would recommend that you try it using the X-Touch One Preset. Many Davinci resolve shortcuts are included here. Presets 1-5 handle different controllers and presets 6-12 handle different video editors. The project is set up to be able to separate the incoming MIDI messages from different controllers to output different keystrokes, essentially separating the input and outputs.
It uses the perform action heavily to handle dthe MIDI to keystroke translation. In my case translator 4.7 handles the MIDI input, 4.8 monitors whether or not the scroll wheel is still moving and 10.5 handles the shortcut keystrokes. Translator 10.2 handles making sure Davinci Resolve if focused before sending keystrokes.

The attached version below the updated project file since I originally posted about this in the referenenced posting.
