Topic: Help with Pioneer DDJ-SX and VDJ 7.4

So I upgraded to the new Ver. 7.4 which should have native support for the DDJ-SX. However, mine is not working properly. Only thing responding are: Track Select, Load, Cue and Play functions. All other functions are not responding. Mixer has no responses at all. Matter of fact when decks A and B are playing, even with the up faders down to 0, both decks can be heard coming out of Master.

I never had the previous mapper made for the DDJ SX. I was using Serato DJ until VDJ can support it natively. So there is no old mapper to delete. Have the unit set to use Serato.

VDJ Config:

INPUT: None
OUTPUTS: Headphone
SOUNDCARD: 4 - Pioneer DDJ-SX

I am running a Macbook Pro on Mountain Lion.

Check that the INPUT SELECT switches on the front are all set to PC.

Choose the default VirtualDJ v7 4 deck skin and then restart the software.

NOTE: You can use other sources on CH3 & 4 if you wish, but to do this, you will need to use a 4 deck skin for now. This is because when using 2 decks, decks 3 & 4 of the controller wrap back around to 1 & 2, so the input select switch settings for these decks confuse the software. This will be fixed in the next update. You can also work around it when using 2 decks by switching the inputs of CH1 & CH2 to PHONO and back to PC again, but you would need to do this each time you start the software.

Switching it all to PC and running a 4 deck skin seem to do the trick. Thank you very much!!!

One thing I noticed though is that my CPU usage when playing video is now around 70-80%. Really high....

It's unlikely that this is related to using the DDJ-SX - Using MIDI controllers has very little CPU overhead, even for complex controllers.

Most likely this is because you have resized or maximised a skin that's not optimal for your computer's screen resolution or there is some other performance or configuration issue with your computer.

This may be the problem then since I changed to a different skin (4deck) to use. I'll check that out. Thx.

How do I download this? I don't know which level. Plus I am new to Virtual Dj. I want to download the skin on a Macbook Air. What should I do?

You will need to purchase the full VirtualDJ Professional to be able to use MIDI controllers such as the DDJ-SX, custom skins and other add-ons: http://www.virtualdj.com/buy/index.html

If you have already purchased VirtualDJ, please register your serial number to your account http://www.virtualdj.com/users/edit.html and then download the latest v7.4 version from your download center: http://www.virtualdj.com/download/updates.html (VirtualDJ v7.4 has native support for the DDJ-SX.)

If you haven't purchased VirtualDJ, then please support the software and its future development (Especially if you are a working DJ and you are making money as a result of using it.)

Do NOT use the download mapper while using the SX in SERATO mode!

Delete the SX mapper XML from the MAPPER folder inside the VirtualDJ folder and also the SX XML from the device folder!

NO NEED TO USE THE MAPPER FROM THE DOWNLOAD AREA IF YOU LIKE TO USE THE SX IN SERATO MODE!

This should slove the problem ;-)


NOTE:Please use only the download mapper only, if you have the SX in OTHER mode!
If you want to switch from other mode to serato mode, delete the dmapper and the device xml!
