DDJ SZ Jog Wheel Issues

[dj_decka]

How doin MVers!

This question is for the mapping pros on the forums.

Just picked up the DDJ SZ and oh boy...Its a lot of fun!


However the problem I am having is the digital marker on the jog wheel. It works fine the first time I hit the play button...but if I hit cue or a locator...or even if I press pause, The marker returns and stays at the 12 o' clock position.


For the life of me have no idea howta fix this.

I tried both serato and MIDI mode and no dice.


Thank you for all help in advance!

make sure that you have set up your controller to work correctly with other than Serato software. This information should be availble in the controller's owners manual.

Now if that is settled, (I am assuming that you mean the track progression marker in the inner circle of the jog that lights up in red).

Disclaimer: The following is my suggestion only, I have noway to test if this works.
In Cross you sould be mapping that with this command

In&Out fam(Player)[0x1].NeedleSearch (Normal) == "Needle Search"

The input to the search strip which (after looking at the MIDI table) is parameter 03 channel 1,2,3,4 for the respective deck

The out put should also be mapped to

In&Out fam(Player)[0x1].NeedleSearch (Normal) == "Needle Search"

but to parameter = 21 channel 1,2,3,4.

Been on vacation and just got back. Did you ever get this figured out.
What mapping file are you using to control the DDJ-SZ? Did you create it yourself. Your answer will allow me to formulate a response at your level. Output mapping can get complicated sometimes.

Welcome back Fig!

Hope your vacation was epic!


I am using the ddj sx pre set mapping to be able to control the sz.

Does it works?
If it does except for the issues that you mention you should 1st try the custom DDJ-SX mapping that I posted in the general chat section.
Let me know if that works and then I will examine the code to make sure there are no minor issues with the DDJ-SZ and modify it to include the code to light up the jog wheel track progress.

Hi dj_decka, my info was about the location where you should save a third party MIDI file (like the one FigDJ created). So please be specific on what you did/are using now.
FigDJ is refreshed and eager to help you with any suggestion on how to make the MIDI mapping fit your (or the controllers) needs.
