v2.3.1 can be downloaded.

If I'm right it's W7 compatible (and older).

For the use of video you need to have a seperate license for the (old) video plugin.
Starting Cross 3.0.0 the video was included in Cross and the new license only removes the watermark (Cross Free and Cross DJ).
V3.x supports higher resolutions than v2.x

Sorry, my mistake. I tested downloading Cross, which as I just tested works fine. Cross DJ however doesn't work; only an empty zip (or some like this)

and...
bad news again...
I've decided not to fight with the wind // set up problems,
and decided to buy the freshest Cross 3.3.10 - FULL / TOP version!
but... what a great disappointment I had to meet, when...
the Cross (the TOP version of Cross!) did not want to find my second CDJ-850 !
The 1st one - OK,
Connected - and worked perfectly!
but the 2nd --- NO F**** way!
I've even downloaded drivers from Pioneer website, installed them etc - NO WAY!
Cross doesn't seen my second Pioneer CDJ - 850!
Francly speaking - the old version of your Software was much more user friendly and stable.
everythng was fast to install and to record mixes.
New versions - hmmmm

Are you MIDI or HID connecting? All settings on the CDJ-850 correct?

all settings in CDJs 850 are the same and correct.
I connect to Cross by HID, because there is no way to add TWO CDJs in MIDI - strange, but there is only ONE MIDI instrument can be added in Cross now - in old versions of MixVibes you could add as much MIDIs, as you wanted.

the old version of MixVibes:
it was enough to connect CDJs via USB to Notebook,
next - add in MIDI options of MixVibes your CDJs - and... ready!

but now...
you have to download 100000's of drivers ,
additional software etc etc etc...
and no effect anyway...

to compare this fact with other proggz:
tractor recognises everything itself, as well as other DJ software.

I was trying to be loyal and to keep patriotism to MixVibes, because it was one of my first DJ proggz , and I like the interface very much, but i feel F***ed this time, especially, when I've bought new and TOP version of Cross.

I tried to connect by USB - everything (I mean all equipment):
U-Mix Control Pro, and 2x CDJs 850.

when I enter OTPIONS - I see only U-Mix Control Pro, when I click MIDI and nothing else. no way to add any other equipment (!)

in old versions it was possibility to add "next" equipment in MIDI options - for example CDJ, but here... there is no where to click even (!)

next thing is, that , when I connect the first CDJ 850 via USB to notebook - Cross "recognises" it and everything works PERFECT (f.e. vinyl mode etc), but when I connect the second CDJ 850 - NO reaction !

I don't see any player (I mean any CDJ 850) in MIDI options.
and nowhere to click - to activate them even.

and that is the problem! (like in that great film one actor said :( )

and here is the problem:
1. I do launch the Cross on Laptop - OK
2. I connect U-Mix Control Pro to laptop via USB - it recognises itself - and launches properly. All pads are working correctly.
3. I'm connecting CDJ 850 via USB - Cross also recognises it and all pads are working properly in every mode (vinyl etc) - OK
4. and.........when I'm connecting the second CDJ and.... nothing happens! i'm clicking all menues and all options on CDJ as well as cros and... NO REACTION.
that's the point!

In MIDI mode make sure that you CDj are not set to operate on the same channel set otherwise only one device will be recognized. If CDj #1 operates on MIDI channels 1 and 2 the seconCDJ should be set for different channels if using the same MIDI map
