Yes, No. :)

SX2 Will work. Not the jogs inner leds though.
 
About the inner Leds.
Those are actually 4 Leds (each one represents a quarter of a full cycle). In Serato those Leds represent how far you are from the nearest HotCue point. Since this feature is not available in VirtualDJ at the moment, and the Leds are just 4 so we cant use them to show e.g. the Song progress, we left them unassigned for now.
 
If I don't need this cycle indicator, can I use all of these inner red LEDs as flashing indicator when the track comes to an end?
 
I have done that..... Off if no track loaded, on if track loaded in deck and flashing within 30 secs of the end.

Only thing is I'm using a custom definition file which I don't think is the same as the default.

I will check tonight if this works with the default definition and if so I will post the script.

Doesn't work with the built in definition. Must be different to my custom one. The part of the definition for the inner jog is as follows:

<bar cc="0x04" min="0x00" max="0x04" name="LED_JOG_INNER" channel="11" deck="1" />
<bar cc="0x05" min="0x00" max="0x04" name="LED_JOG_INNER" channel="11" deck="2" />
<bar cc="0x06" min="0x00" max="0x04" name="LED_JOG_INNER" channel="11" deck="3" />
<bar cc="0x07" min="0x00" max="0x04" name="LED_JOG_INNER" channel="11" deck="4" />

Which must be different to the controllers.dat built in to VDJ.

Key

LED_JOG_INNER

Action

loaded ? songpos_remain 30000ms ? blink 150ms ? constant 0 : constant 0.99 : constant 0.99 : constant 0

Another thing I have done is to have the cue LEDs white if no cue, flashing blue if track loaded and cue set and constant blue if track playing and cue set:

hot_cue 1 ? var 'cueloop' 1 ? blink 300ms ? get_constant 'blue' : off : get_constant 'blue' : off

You just need to change key LED_CUE_LOOP_PAD1 so the cue number matches the pad number

Default mapping files now offer the Red Inner Jog Leds to behave as above.
Available in builds ending at .949 (or higher)
 
So I guess what im reading is that you cannot use vdj 7 with the pioneer ddj sx2 I gotta spend more money to upgrade to vdj 8?
 
No, as your license also includes version 8 - just download it from the download link in the navigation and activate the Computer by entering your username and password at the first start of the Software.

@Keith, could you please explain in what way "the implementation is basic" and the RGB Leds are poorly mapped ?


Sorry, the words didn't come out the right way. What I meant is that the use of colours in the default mapper isn't very creative. But of course Atomix don't have a unit to experiment with and also users can map the colours themselves with a bit of scripting.

Apologies if my comments came across the wrong way :)

BTW, for Sampler side it is very easy to do via VDJ.
You can give a hole group one color or each button/sampler it's own :-) (Sampler Editor)
 
You dont have to apologize. If there is something that we can do to improve the functionality, we are here to do so. Your feedback is appreciated as much as the criticism. However if you could all be a bit more specific, we could probably do more ;)
 
Is there any easy way how to disable in the mapper completely deck 3 and deck 4 or I must delete from the mapper all deck 3 and deck 4 related parts? I have input 3 for Mic and input 4 for external backup player and I don't need VDJ/DDJ-SX2 decks 3 and 4 anymore....
 
Flick the little input switches on the front of the unit. That will disable deck 3 & 4 - no need to modify the mappers.
 
I switched CH3 to Mic1 and CH4 to CD, but still I can load a tracks to these decks, play it and hear it thru the master out, even if the faders 3 and 4 are in zero positions. Why?
 
You can always load "any" deck on VirtualDj 8.
There's no way to "disable" a deck.

So, if you press load on deck 3, deck 3 will get loaded. If you press play on deck 3, deck 3 will play, e.t.c.

In order to avoid hearing decks 3 & 4 on your master you have 2 options:

1) Start VirtualDj with all switches on your SX2 set to "PC", lower all volumes to 0 and then turn switches to MIC and CD

2) Go on mappers find the "ONINIT" key and add the following commands on the start of the current text:
deck 3 level 0% & deck 4 level 0% & [original text]
 
If you want the outer (white) jog to flash within 30s (or however long you want) from the end of the song, try this for LED_JOG

load_pulse ? songpos_remain 30000ms ? blink 200ms ? constant : get_rotation & param_add 0.01 : get_rotation & param_add 0 : constant 0.99

I have just upgraded from my sx to the sx2 and was using the Pads sx skin.
Just wondering what skin you are using and if you plan on uploading your custom mapper if you have mapped more features to the sx2. You seem to know your way around it so thought i would ask.
I was planing on using the flip buttons to record loops to samples, unless anyone has any better ideas?
Thanks
 
I'm using the Fruit skin, it's great!

The mapper is a personal thing, what I have modified wouldn't work for everyone.

If you want to change any aspect of the custom mapping to your own taste, just ask and we'll help.

Bonjour à tous, nouveau parmi vous avec un ddj-sx2. Est il possible de changer la couleur des 4 boutons pad_mode?
Merci d'avance pour vos réponses.
 
Please post in English or use the French forum.
Quick reply. No, the Pad mode buttons cannot change color. Those are hardware presets.
