XDJ RX BPM Bug/BPM fluctuation

So lately I've been having the issue that the BPM changes the whole time while using the XDJ RX, with pretty much every track. I have master tempo engaged and updated my Rekordbox Software and the Firmware of the RX. Didn't change a thing.

It makes it completely impossible to make any clean transitions whatsoever.

 

Is there a fix for this yet?

Go in Rekordbox settings, and check what type of analisys you have, if dynamic try to change it and re-analyze you songs.

Connor Kratz

That didn't change anything. I deleted the songs from my library, changed the settings to normal instead of dynamic, imported and reanalyzed them, but the same problem still occurs

Jacox

1 - On the display on the RX the BPM change between start and end of the song?

2 - Do you select and load the song thru "Folder" option in RX?

Connor Kratz

1 - The BPM changes randomly during playback on the RX, so there's no way of readjusting it with the tempo slider because it starts changing again after a couple of seconds

2 - I selected the tracks though the "Playlist" option, the "Folder" option doesn't show up anything. It's empty

Jacox

You can display waveform on the RX?

Connor Kratz

Yeah everything works fine, except for the BPM change during playback. Waveform and beat grid work perfectly

Jacox

For me the only reason is the dynamic analisys instead normal analisys...

try to format your USB Dongle, do the normal analisys in rekordbox, and re-export to (blank) USB key...then you can try in RX.

The problem is in all 2 decks? Have you tried to play the track left/right and see if BPM change in all 2 decks in the same way?

Connor Kratz

None of the above helped, but thanks anyway. The problem occurs in both decks

I guess I'll have to wait for the official technical support to reply...

@Connor > Sounds like your beat grids aren't setup properly.  Tracks should always be analyzed in normal mode unless they have BPM changes in them (tracks played by a live band, transition tracks, etc).

Connor Kratz

Thanks a lot @jacox and @Mark. Reanalysed everything and it seems to be working fine again! Awesome!
