Topic: Pioneer DDJ-RR Sampler issue

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I'm currently running VDJ 8.2 b3523 with a Pioneer DDJ-RR, using the default unmodified mapping. When I activate sample mode the buttons light up indicating the default samples are loaded but when I press the button no sound is heard. In VDJ I can see the line moving on the sample button indicating that the sample was activated but still no sound. I previously was using VDJ with a Pioneer DDJ-SB2 and had no issues using sample mode using it's default mapping. Can anyone point me in the correct direction to resolve this issue?

1. Did you try to reload the sample? 2. If you use the mouse to activate the sample, does it play?

When I use the mouse the same thing happens as if activated by pressing the button, visually it appears that the sample is being played but no sound is heard. I was initially using the first four default samples and then I loaded one of my own samples into the 5th slot and no sound is heard from any of them, even after reloading.

Where do you have the sample audio output set to, deck or master? Are the volumes up?

The RR is equipped with the rotary volume knob for sampler in the mixer area,
have used it to increase the volume could be the issue

Thx GGGDJ you were 100% correct!! I had to increase the sample volume with the rotary knob. Even though I wear glasses I don't understand how I missed that!! LOL.... obviously this is still new to me it being a Christmas gift to myself and of course I didn't RTFM so I was just going off my DDJ-SB2 experience... Anyways thanks to those who took a minute to look and respond. Much appreciated!!

This community with its fast, friendly, and helpful advice is the one of the reasons I want to stay with VDJ over Rekordbox even though it comes free with the controller. You guys are the best.

If you're planning to make a new year resolution, may I suggest it's "always read the manual"?
