Topic: Numark Platinum FX jog is not Scratching
Hello guys, I got a Numark Platinum FX and recently notice a problem that the jogs are not scratching, I think it is related to the software because if the song is pause the scratch works, then according to the manual the button SCRATCH is Toggle between Scratch (Vinyl) and Bend (CD) modes for the Jogwheel and SHIFT SCRATCH isSwap Control for Left/Right Decks. Left button toggles between Deck 1 and 3. Right button toggles between Decks 2 and 4. They are inverted, for me to swap deck is just pressing SCRATCH, then if I go to the mapper the option SHIFT_SCRATCH says vinyl mode but the mapper is empty there is not action on it, I will appreciate your help, thanks

Using some custom mapper?
In default mapper it appears as mapped as vinyl mode for not shift click...
If you are using custom mapper, you can revert to factory default at mapper settings

(unless the definition file got inverted somehow, or your controller button)

Already did that and yes to change decks now it is Shift+Scratch good, here is my problem, when I try to scratch the jog does not respond just does pitch bend, not sure if it is the hardware because if the song is on paused the jog responds to the touch so that is my doubt, I am using the default factory mapper, I will appreciate any additional details that might help me, thanks

Make sure it is on vinyl mode, press scratch again and it will take it back to vinyl mode, i'm gonna read thru again incas you have said this

when paused if you can scratch but not while playing, that is how it sounds when it is out of vinyl mode and in cd

click the vinyl icon on screen, I can give you a mapper, I've done loads, I got 4 different pad modes to each pad, so thats 16, i love this controller

I too am desperate, the scratch button works ONLY on the first connection with the software (serato or virtual dj with both window 10 and ios 10.5) then at subsequent times the button, whether pressed or not pressed, does not respect the assigned function, playback continues without stopping. From the various tests, the problem does not depend on the operating system or the software or even on the settings (in fact they are not respected at all).
