Mixvibes Android applications for Smartphone and Pad: CrossDJ

Having done a few before your own certainly is questionable.
I actually bought Mixvibes' "top-of-the-line" controller when I discovered that you're adding support for other manufacturers' interfaces. It never appeared to me that I'm buying an unsupported device. Here's what I take away: - Mixvibes have an excellent Android app; - The U-Mix Control Pro 2 controller is nicely built; - The Android app was updated to support OTG audio on select Pioneer controllers before the Mixvibes' one; - There's no telling how long before they support their own hardware. - All in all (based on the above), a bad purchase. Even per your incentive, I should have really bought a different controller.
Not bothering to give us an ETA is just weak. We all understand bugs can prevent releases. That's why the E stands for Estimate. That way nobody's going to rage if you come out and say, "here's our latest update, but feature X didn't make it in", we at least know you're working on the feature. Saying "it's logged as wanted by many" doesn't mean you care and are working on it.
The lack of commitment to your own userbase demonstrated makes me sad. I'm leaving it at that, no rants, bad reviews, etc.

It sure is nice to see that mixvibes tries hard to include features into android, noone else cares to provide, but for us as consumers, supporting other manufacturer's gear over their own just seems strange. It should be easier for anyone to implement the hardware they built themselves over some other hardware manufacturer's gear. I just can't wrap my head around this. Also, from what I understand usb audio should be standardized, if android now officially supports usb audio, what is all the trouble about? Is this due to the fact, that more than two channels of audio are being routed?

Just to clarify, the UMCP2 seems to be (MIDI) mapped already, although there are some things that don't work as expected (e.g. LEDs not corresponding to filter mode).
As for OTG Audio, I do maintain that there are a number of posts implying that as long as your Android device supports it, CrossDJ is ready.
Are you saying that the "mapping support" topic concerns both OTG Audio and MIDI?

Not really going for usable here. Having a choice between mono out and no cue, I've stowed the controller away and don't see myself using it even in non-live situations.

Me too. The controller comes in handy as an very extravagant paperweight though!

Any news about Sound over usb - otg ? I think it's possible now with Android 5.xx. On Apple devices it's possible to control many musc hardware :-( but I don't buy an Apple device cause I don't need it for anything I do with my PC or Android phone.
