Hello

Can someone try and resolve a little issue with the cross fader control on the XDJ-R1 using Virtual DJ Pro 7.4 ...

My problem is the unit is all setup as per the wiki article, however the cross fader does not function as it should - moving it fully left outputs the right [ B ] deck and moving it fully right outputs the left [ A ] deck ???

Also can anyone explain why Pioneer have opted not to display the track info etc. on the unit itself in Midi mode ? very bizarre ...

Thank you

Glenn

p.s. I have been given a demo unit to review by Pioneer for a UK DJ Association.

There is a command in VirtualDj that will invert the crossfader.
Are you sure you haven't used that command?
It's "crossfader_hamster"

As for why Pioneer opted not to expose the LCD on the MIDI side of the unit you should really ask Pioneer.

My guess is that they wanted to emphasize the stand-alone / recordbox function of the unit and not the MIDI/PC part of it, but that's just my personal estimation.

For the LCD display issue, PhantomDeejay's explanation is correct. They want the emphasis to be that it is a stand-alone with 'controller' features and not a controller that can also stand-alone.

As for the audio issue, if you didn't have 'hamster' enabled in VirtualDJ; then please post your current Audio configuration in VirtualDJ.
And, are you sure you changed the XDJ-R1's mixer option in the unit's configuration utility?

Thank you for the replies ...

Very silly of Pioneer then to promote a product with use for Virtual DJ and not allow full Midi use of the display outputs!

Reference this 'Crossfader_Hamster' ... where is this in Virtual DJ ? settings ?

Thank you

Glenn

Please do not SHOUT.

The R1 has two operating modes, as explained in the user manual.

One mode allows you to use the R1 mixer, meaning that the on screen mixer is not required (because you have a real mixer). The other mode allows you to use the R1 as a controller for the on screen VDJ mixer.

I've using Virtual DJ Pro with Vestax VCI-400 which has been working like a dream never any issues. Just purchased the Pioneer XDJ-R1 it's a nightmare having the same issues like everybody else.
