Hello, I'm going to try to explain my success using Pioneer DDJ-SB2 with Cross DJ, both versions, iOS and Android.
At first, please forgive my bad English, I'm Spanish. I hope you understand everything.
- Getting the right map1- Download the demo version of Cross DJ from here:
https://www.mixvibes.com/cross-dj-free-download/2- Install the software.
3- Plug your MIDI controller (in my case Pioneer DDJ-SB2) and execute program.
4- Go to "
Preferences" and click on "
MIDI" tab. You will see your controller selected in orange in the list.
5- Push button "
Export controller mapping", down in the list, right button, and save the map with any name (the name is not relevant).
6- Close Cross DJ.
- Change some things in the map1- The map exported is a
plain text XML file. Edit it with any capable program, for example (in Windows) Notepad.
2-
The important thing. Change this:
PCDevice="
Pioneer DDJ-SB2" MacDevice="
Pioneer DDJ-SB2"
with this:
PCDevice="
DDJ-SB2" MacDevice="
DDJ-SB2"
in iOS and Android my device is detected as "
DDJ-SB2", so this is the right name.
3- Save the map with whatever name you want. I have renamed as "
Pioneer DDJ-SB2.mappings" to be coherent with the other ones.
- Put the map in the right placeIn iOS you have to put this map in a folder called "
Mappings" inside Cross DJ app. My way has been sending the map by email and use the app "
Files" in my iPad.
In Android you have to put this map in this path:
/Android/datacom.mixvibes.crossdjapp/files/Mappings - Final stepsThe power consume of Pioneer DDJ-SB2 is about 500 mAh so
you have to use a powered USB HUB to make it work.
Mine is this:
https://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B07M5LMGXZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1In iPad, plug this HUB in the
Apple Camera Adapter. I recommend using the original one. Mine is this:
https://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B01DGDNL2G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 In Android use any USB OTG adapter.
This is all. You can plug the device before or after executing Cross DJ.
*If you can't hear anything from the headphones out of SB2, be sure to check this:
Advanced settings -> Audio output mode ->DualThis Cross DJ preference has to be in DUAL mode.
