Topic: CDJ 2000 NXS2 SUPPORT - Page: 1

This part of topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information

Hello,

Is there any plan to support the new pioneer staff (DJM 900 NXS2 and CDJ 2000 NXS2)?
 
Posted Tue 29 Mar 16 @ 1:45 pm
Yes, there is a plan, but no ETA at the moment
 
hope this is very soon
 
Especially the DJM900NXS2, because I believe the clubs will now renew the equipment to comply with DJ's wishes or riders and you can't buy the "old" DJM900NXS anymore...
 
Thank You DJ Dad! No one surpasses VDJ8! If you need a test subject, please let me know.
 
Just curious, because the CDJ 2000 NXS2 is now natively supported and that's great news...

The DJM S9 says "coming soon" for a while now in the supported controllers section.

But what about the DJM 900 NXS2 ? Not supported, not "coming soon", not seen anywhere yet...

I still don't buy this mixer, because I want to use it 50% of the time with VDJ, but last weekend my Pioneer mixer died. So I want to buy a new one... DJM900NXS can't be bought anymore, so I have to buy the djm850 or the new 900nxs2.. Not one artist here wants to use the djm8xx versions..

I know VDJ can not answer or and when it will be supported but does VDj has one djm900nxs2 to look at?
 
To be honest:
The DJM-900NXS2 can be used even without any native support since it's a "real" hardware mixer and it provides a sound interface for all apps to use it.
What won't work without official support is the ability to see the faders moving on the skin (fake actions anyway) and possibly the beat-aware effects that will have to rely on the auto detection of the mixer instead of the software passing the BPM and Grid.

Therefore, if you feel you need / want a DJM-900NXS2 there's no serious reason to hold back. You can get one. Once we do official support you will just have the rest things (like faders moving on skin) working again.
 
And if you do decide to get one and be willing to spend some time with the team we can probably support it even faster.
 
I believe I once got the advice to use VDJ with the soundcard of a djm instead of the soundcards from my XDJ-700's ?
 
Yes.
Due to the firmware bug of XDJ-1000/700

Maybe your VDJ version is to old?
In the newest v8.2 build the CDJ 2000 NXS2 is included in the list
Also you need a Pro version to be able to use it.
A home edition will only work for a 10 min test period

I am using A Pro Edition version : 7.0.4 Pro - mac (b364). I don't wish to upgrade to v8.

I wonder why?

VDJ 7 (especially one as old as yours) is no longer supported or updated. New hardware such as the NXS2 is not going to have native support in a discontinued software.

Even the newest version of VDJ 7 (why are you not running that?) only supports the original Nexus.

You have no choice but to upgrade to VDJ 8 - which is free if you genuinely do have a VDJ 7 Pro license.

Then you're out of luck. For the best experience you need to be using VDJ 8.2, build 3414 or later, with the latest firmware on the CDJs.
 
Any new news on the djm nxs2 support
Really interested in this mixer as a dvs option with vdj.
I know it can be used as is but was really hope the vdj team can really dial this in like the srt version (mainly the ability to use vdj's grid to sync to the onboard effects)

Thanks for the input. I have installed Virtual DJ 8 build 2483.1070 to test out the controlling options CDJ 2000NXS2 . However I am still unable to control the VDJ decks via CDJ's. I can see in the controller's option pane that it displays two "CDJ2000NXS2(custom mappings)" but the mapping options shows custom mapping and in the Deck option, I only get the Automatic as one option to select.

Can you help me with the above info. Do let me know if you need any more info!

Thanks
:)

If you read the changelog here: http://www.virtualdj.com/products/virtualdj/changelog.html

You see the following:

BUILD 3420 (2016-09-24)

-Support CDJ2000NXS2 firmware v1.5
-Various controller improvements
-Fix video editor lock up when resizing
-Fix editing remix field when originally parsed from filename


So you need a newer VDJ8 version for your CDJ's
 
SBDJ told him what build he needs, and he's just ignored it!

The latest public build is 3523 and he's got 2483 from somewhere. It's not available from here. It does look rather suspicious.
 
You are listed as a home user, why is that? Register your software, and you will get all the latest updates?
