*I posted this in the PC Technical Support section and realized it should probably be here instead but can't close my thread there*
I've searched the forums all day and I've seen nothing(in english lol) that explains how to setup the S3700 in Hybrid Midi Mode so I decided to figure it out myself and I got it working(note this is specific to a SL2/3/4 and VDJ 7):
Since VDJ Supports 2960 cycle resolution in Hybrid Midi mode, you might as well set it to that
-Hold down the "Memo" button until you enter preset mode
-Turn the knob until you see cycle 1480, press the knob, then change it to 2960 and press memo to save it
Now on to setting it up:
First - Since VDJ supports the s3700 native, don't change any of the midi settings. If you're changed your midi channel to 5 and 6 for Serato, change both back to Midi Ch. 1(it will work set to midi 5 and 6 but the display won't function neither will the lights light up when you press a button)
Second - you need to click the Platter Mode button and make sure the platter is in Jog mode. I haven't been able to get this to work while being in scratch mode. The midi buttons work but the track never plays
1 - Set input to Timecodes, Output to External Mixer, and Sound Card to Rane SL2/3/4
2 - Under Timecode Config, set Vinyl to Other (Relative Mode Only) 1000 KHz
3 - Set Mode to Smart Relative
4 - Click Debug and make sure Disable ClearSound is checked
5 - Click ok on all the windows
You should be good to go now!
Bit of a warning. There is drifting while using timecode mode. If you figure out how to get rid of that please by all means chime in. I haven't figured it out yet though. As long as you don't spin back TOO fast you don't have any drifting that I can notice. Straight MIDI mode is the only way I've been able to get rid of all drifting, but the platter is MUCH more responsive when in Hybrid MIDI mode
