Tópico: Numark DJ2GO....couldn't resist, so ordered one :) - Page: 1

Esta parte del tópico es antigua y puede contener información incorrecta para la nueva versión.

As per the title...for £49 I couldn't resist....should be here tomorrow (along with an S4 Decksaver), so I'll see what it's like.

As it has no internal audio device, going to run it up with a pair of Numark PHX USB headphones...so the full rig might be a Netbook, DJ2GO and pair of PHX USB cans...

Must admit, it's a bit strange to have an S4 (at the top end price range) and also a DJ2GO (at the bottom price range)...but it should be fun :)

mmm...it appears that whilst DJKIT are showing the DJ2GO in stock...they don't have any till next week...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...lol
 
Hahaa, me too!! Just called my local dealer. At that price it can't hurt anything, lol!

Yes, I think this would be great paired with a netbook for house parties and impromptu piss-ups where you just wanna throw some gear in a bag and go... let others have a drunken play and maybe not worry too much about spills or drops. :P
 
perfect companion to the mixdeck, i bought this so i can use this as a video mixer, or for a 4 deck setup.
 
They've been on back order at the dj shop where I work for a few weeks now, no sign of them landing so far! Hoping to use one alongside my trusty old DAC-2, for some 4 deck fun...
 
Apparently DJKIT have received stock this morning, so should get mine tomorrow...
 
Also available (UK) at Phase One www.djanddiscostuff.com which is where I ordered mine from earlier today...

Should be a very useful little gadget!
 
Nothing here so far... *goes and checks back order status...*
 
 
I originally posted this with the unit plugged into 7.0.1 and the following was based on trying to use the DJ2GO with that version. I have since upgraded to the 7.0.4 version and all but two of the issues have been resolved.

With this in mind....Please make sure you upgrade to the latest version of Pro.

---------------------------Original Findings---------------------------

Ok, plugged the DJ2GO in and fired up Virtual DJ 7 Pro...and we have some issues...

1) The jog wheels are mapped the wrong way round - Clockwise = backwards, Counter-Clockwise = Forwards. Tried using param_invert, but no joy - FIXED IN VERSION 7.0.4

2) The jog wheels are far too sensitive and I can't seem to able to alter it using param_multiply - I can alter it in the options, but that affects all the controllers that I use - Don't want to have to change it for each controller - FIXED IN VERSION 7.0.4

2) The browse knob doesn't scroll through the tracks, it just jumps down or up by pages. i.e. if you have 10 tracks visible, one click of the browse knob will take you to track 11, next click will take you to track 22, etc, etc - FIXED IN VERSION 7.0.4

4) The Master volume control does nothing - Still not working in 7.0.4 (in fact not even in the mapper)

5) The Cue/headphone volume control does nothing - Still not working in 7.0.4 (in fact not even in the mapper)

Everything else works fine...but as it stands...it's unusable (in versions previous to 7.0.4)

I know that it comes with LE LITE 7.0.2...but as a Pro user, I assumed, maybe wrongly, that it would work with Pro.

Oh and it's tiny and very, very cute...but comes with one of the longest USB leads I've seen!!! :)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

If we can resolve the Master Volume and Cue/Headphone Volume control issues, then this funky little unit will be good to go :)

oh and here's a pic of it sat on my 15" Dell Studio...
 
Got mine a few minutes ago!

Check out my icon :-)

All appears to be working fine here, both on 7.0.3 and 7.0.4.
 
oh..and handy tip...don't rip the packaging open too violently...if your careful, use a modelling knife (ask your mum or dad if you are unsure...lol)..to cut out the blow-moulded plastic to form a neat decksaver :)
 
Right...fixed the master and headphone volumes.

Just a case of setting them up in the mapper, using the LEARN function...

I have made some alterations to mapping, just to suit me:

1) Mapped the Pitch Bend - to loop_half

2) Mapped the Pitch Bend + to loop_double

3) Mapped the CUE button to loop

4) Mapped the jogwheel so that when a loop is active on the deck it moves the loop

5) Mapped the Deck Volumes to filter

6) Mapped the ENTER button so that if the focus is on the songs list, pressing it puts the focus on the Search area.

It really is a little peice of kit that is worth having in your bag... :)
 
HAHA I was making you a mapper and its pretty much the same... great minds ey... :)

-----------------------------

I tried to include as many features as I could. You need a shift button so I'm nominating the "pfl" buttons as they are the only buttons that you can do without as I turned the plf into a crossfader like numark mixers instead of buttons like pioneer.

ONINIT - deck 1 pfl & deck 2 pfl
deck 1 cue- var_equal 'pflshift_1' ? deck 1 hot_cue 1 : cue_stop
deck 1 play - var_equal 'pflshift_1' ? deck 1 hot_cue 2 : play_pause
deck 1 pfl - set 'pflshift_1' while pressed
deck 1 volume knob - var_equal 'pflshift_1' ? sampler volume : deck 1 volume_slider
deck 1 pitch bend (-) - var_equal 'pflshift_1' ? deck 1 loop 50% : deck 1 pitch_bend -5% 500ms
deck 1 pitch bend (+) - var_equal 'pflshift_1' ? deck 1 loop 200% : deck 1 pitch_bend +5% 500ms
deck 1 sync - var_equal 'pflshift_1' ? deck 1 loop 4 : sync
master vol - master_volume
deck 1 jog - var_equal 'pflshift' 1 ? param_greater 50% ? deck 1 effect_slider +0.01% : deck 1 effect_slider -0.01% : deck 1 jogwheel
headphone vol - var_equal 'pflshift_1' ? headphone_volume : var_equal 'pflshift_2' ? headphone_volume : headphone_crossfader
browser knob - var_equal 'pflshift_1' ? param_greater 50% ? deck 1 effect select +1 : deck 1 effect select -1 : var_equal 'pflshift_2' ? param_greater 50% ? deck 2 effect select +1 : deck 2 effect select -1 : param_greater 50% ? browser_scroll +1 : browser_scroll -1
deck A load - holding 1000ms ? deck 1 load : browser_folder
deck B load - holding 1000ms ? deck 2 load ; browser_enter
back - var_equal 'pflshift_1' ? sampler play_stop : deck 1 effect active
enter - var_equal 'pflshift_2' ? sampler play_stop : deck 2 effect active
deck 2 jog - var_equal 'pflshift' 2 ? param_greater 50% ? deck 2 effect_slider +0.01% : deck 2 effect_slider -0.01% : deck 2 jogwheel
deck 2 cue- var_equal 'pflshift_2' ? deck 2 hot_cue 1 : cue_stop
deck 2 play - var_equal 'pflshift_2' ? deck 2 hot_cue 2 : play_pause
deck 2 pfl - set 'pflshift_2' while pressed
deck 2 volume knob - var_equal 'pflshift_2' ? sampler volume : deck 2 volume_slider
deck 2 pitch bend (-) - var_equal 'pflshift_2' ? deck 2 loop 50% : deck 2 pitch_bend -5% 500ms
deck 2 pitch bend (+) - var_equal 'pflshift_2' ? deck 2 loop 200% : deck 2 pitch_bend +5% 500ms
deck 2 sync - var_equal 'pflshift_2' ? deck 2 loop 4 : sync
 
Love the mapping :) :)

What about using HOLDING for the PFL, so that if it's held for more than a second it sets shift while pressed, otherwise it activates the PFL?

I also changed the deck volumes to: volume & param_multiply 50% & eq_low so that you can swap decks without overloading on the bass.
 
sorry I just edited it, I made it a pfl crossfader like numark decks so you dont need the pfl buttons and they can be exclusively shift buttons, I think I want to get one of these now LOL

I never knew about param_multipy... Interesting, I wanted to use this on an lfo a while ago for some live dub...
 
So your using a swap on the crossfader so that it PFL's the deck that is away fromteh position of the crossfader i.e. crossfader to the left, deck B pfl active?

If so...clever thinking ;)
 
nah its using the headphone volume knob, so that effectively turns into a headphone crossfader, but if shift is held it will change the headphone volume... I think that's smarterer and more practical.

but the pfl activates on opening vdj, so you have both channels pfling all the time and crossfade between them as required
 
Have you got a device for this? I ask, because there is differentiation between the deck controls.
