Novation Dicer for Mixxx mapping thread in the Mixxx forums: http://mixxx.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3583. There are currently 2 mappings for Mixxx available.

1. Novation Dicer basic mapping for Mixxx 1.10+

The basic mapping works essentially as documented by the manual for the Dicer. This means that about half the buttons are unmapped and are supposed to be "user definable".
