DDJ-RX Button Lights Not Working When Playing More Than 2 Songs

When playing more than 2 songs, all button presses still affect the software but the changes don't reflect on the controller.

For example if I press a Pad Mode button to switch from Hot Cue to Pad FX1 it will switch in the software but not on the controller. If I then hit a pad it behaves as if I'm still in Hot Cue mode.

Play/Pause, Cue, & Sync are unaffected and work normally. All other buttons will toggle the software but not the lights for the button.

When I stop playing one of the songs every thing reverts back and reflects whats in the software.

Also is there a place to request features?

Please be sure you're running the most current firmware: http://www.pioneerdj.com/en-us/support/software/ddj-rx/#firmware-update 

 

To request a feature, create a new post within the appropriate topic and label it accordingly.  For example, in the DDJ topic you can name a post "Feature Suggestion:  DDJ-RX."

I just checked and I have the latest firmware update.

@Paul > Have you changed any of the DDJ MIDI mappings?

Pulse

Sorry, I'm just trying to understand first how you're playing more than 2 songs ... how do you have things configured to control the 4 decks using the RX?

Paul Cruz

I'm loading a song in each deck using the deck switch button and playing them at the same time. The controller is right out of the box. The only thing I did to it was update the firmware. Should I try to update it again? 

Paul Cruz

I also noticed that the deck meters on the controller freeze as well.

I'm having the same issue - for example: when deck 1 and 2 are playing and i play deck 3 also, deck 2 responds but the lihghts on controller does not change accordingly. Software version is 4.0.6.

Same issue: When I start to play HotCues/PadFX/Slicer/Sampler seem to work but when I load tracks on deck 3 and 4 and switch to them, the HotCues/PadFX/Slicer/Sampler don't light up and don't work! If I press PadFX to change the Panel for example, I see a respond at the Softwear, it switches to the PadFX Panel but the Controller stays at the Hot Cue Panel.

It's the same with the FX section/Cue/Sync/MT/Slip buttons but they are actually working even if they don't light up. Volume meters freeze.

I have these issues since I updated the softwear to 4.0.6. I tryed to update the firmware again, deinstalled the softwera and installed it again but nothing worked...

We've got the engineers investigating this, but in the meantime, please try increasing the audio buffer settings in rekordbox and you may find it works.

Pulse

Engineers expect that this will be addressed in the next update - please test again once 4.0.7 is released!

Andres Kukk

Changing audio buffer works.

Pulse

Gotcha - okay, so that sounds like the issue which should be resolved in 4.0.7. Thanks for your patience.
