ION Discover DJ and update to 2.5.0 -- one deck no cue/play

all,


searched quckly here in the forum but couldn't find concusive answers (well found several dead links).

My little girl will become 8 yo and as she likes playing with my gear (CDJ850s DJM850) I decided to give her a ION discover DJ controler so that she can play herself. She really likes it ;-)

I did find that the original (1.3.2.?) s/w was ... well limited a bit and I upgraded to Cross as suggested on this website.

I found out that with the original s/w I can (stutter)cue and lay OK; with the new version it seems something is wrong with the mapping.

The left "deck" cannot start a track, the right one does. If i start the right, th eleft cue and play leds will blink as if it's in sync with the playing track. But as said -- no way to start a track.

Revering back to the old version directly regains deck control.

What's up with this? Is there a bug in the mapping?

that's what I surmised as well -- I''ll wait.

Just promise me to have it working approx a week before oct 31 as she's tunring 8 then and a working mapping would be cool ;-)

She's at "work" here. So I believe own stuff is a good plan ;-)

Ok, I'll see if I can do that. I got 2.6 rc btw, does that one have the mapping?

I'd rather have it fixed instead of playing around as it hampers the upgrade paths.. ;-)

Little Miss released another vid btw....
