Any experience with Denon DN-MC6000 ?

I haven't found an active discussion about the new Denon MIDI controller, so I would like to start one here.

I'm toying with the idea of buying the DN-MC6000 since a few weeks. Now it is finally out and the first responses in DJ boards are as expected: awesome.

1)
    I would like to know if someone already tested the controller with MixVibes Cross?
2)
    How does the internal soundcard of the controller work with Cross and will I be able to use the internal soundcard with timecode vinyl?
3)
    And, of course, when will MixVibes provide the first official mapping for the controller? (Lazy as I am it I would rather customize a mapping than creating it from scratch.)

For all who haven't seen the new Denon:

I am curious about every response :lol:

1-No
2-I don't know but it should be possible if the internal routing allow it.
3-As soon as Denon will send it

Good news from Denon!
Concerning the question when the MIDI mapping will be available, I got this answer from Denon DJ Europe:

We are in constant contact with MixVibes in France and they are currently working on the DN-SC2000 MIDI mapping. We will send them a MC6000 in the coming weeks and hopefully, the mapping will be available soon in a future Cross release...


Can't wait to hear good news from MixVibes :D

I have got a similar question. Does someone have some experience with the denon DN-HC1000 in combination with Cross.
The reviews say its made to work with serato but it's also mapable in other software. I've seen the mapping in Cross, but I wonder if it is any good if it's made to work with serato.

I've been reading a lot or reports on a freezing issue the Denon DN-MC6000 jogs have, (mainly with VirtualDJ, :lol: :lol: :lol: )

Apparently if you pitch bend or scratch quite quickly with the jogs, the controller and software locks up, and it's a unplug and restart to release it.

Denon are supposed to be working on a fix

So beware!!!!!

Finally my MC6000 arrived.
I updated the controller with the newest firmware, so freezing is no problem.
I downloaded P_Jeans mapping (thanks for the mapping! :) ) and personalized a few things. Everything works fine exept the crossfader. The crossfader cuts off chanel A perfectly, but chanel B stays approximately 5% on. Is there a way I can fix that?

Knowing that MixVibes will provide an offical mapping I would like to share two ideas/questions for v1.6:
1) Will Cross 1.6 support crossfader contour?
2) Will it be possible to use the VU switch on the MC6000, so I can preview the volume of the cued song? (mapping the small bars which are located to the left and right of the faders in Cross)
