Hi All,
i have just purchased a Macbook Pro M1 and have loaded VDJ onto this. I am using this in conjunction with a Pioneer XDJ XZ.
I have been using VDJ for many years now with no issues until now!
Issue 1
First thing that i can't seem to figure is relating to a warning that appears on initial start up screen, stating 'Enable the Mixer Midi from Utilities'. see attached picture.![](/img/411888/7198/Screenshot 2024-08-10 at 11.27.45.png)
i have went into utilities on the XZ but this prompt doesn't seem to tie in with anything i can see. Currently the system is work with audio working fine.
Any suggestions?
Issue 2
i use Music (iTunes) to build all my playlists and manage my music. Purchasing of tracks is from a third party sources (Master Mix etc).
On opening up VDJ, every time the system starts browsing through all the tracks (see attached).
Why does it do this everytime when they have been scanned in? is there a way to disable this?
I have scanned in all the music and 'added' this to the search data base, both for Music (iTunes) and also my local directory where all the files are stored (all music is stored in the MacBook SSD).
The other thing that i am noticing, even though i click on the music folder where all the files sit and 'add this to search data base', this doesn't maintain this request, as the next time i open VDJ, they are not showing and i have to add this again. see image attached

Issue/Advice
i would like to use the Beat jump button which gives access to the 8 pads and have this bring up Stems rather than Beat Jump. i had a look at the mappings but got lost and wasn't able to achieve this.
Would someone be able to assist with this if possible.
thanks in advance for your help here.

to adjust pad pages
its pretty simple load up this page of the manual then read the section with the header "Pad Page Controller Assignment" .. there is also a video at the end of that section that shows the process.... have fun
