Mixxx Pioneer Ddj Sb2

Serato

Apr 07, 2017  I recently bought the Pioneer DDJ-SX Controller and made a mapping including javascript by myself, derived from the existing Pioneer DDJ-SB2 mapping. The controller is fully functional with Mixxx, a few special button functions are included, too. What do I have to do to make it available to you? Perhaps I should make a wiki topic about it, too? Check Mixxx out if you haven't. It's free, fully featured, and intuitive. Put it in vinyl mode and set headphone output to channels 3-4 to get the monitor function working. Serato Pro seems expensive when Mixxx does everything, and well, for no money. It's Pioneer. Pioneer don't. The Pioneer DDJ-SB is an all-in-one 2 deck USB MIDI controller with a built in soundcard. Mixxx allows it to control 4 decks. It is compatible with Mixxx since version 1.12. Mixxx 2.0 supports Pioneer DDJ-SB and DDJ-SB2. If you haven't already heard, Mixxx 2.0 was released the other day. Among many new improvements are included mappings for the Pioneer DDJ-SB and DDJ-SB2.

When a deck is paused, the jogwheel allows you to browse through a track. If you want to browse faster, hold shift while using the jogwheel.

When a deck is playing, using the jogwheel allows you to temporarily change the tempo of the playing track. Again, holding shift exaggerates this effect.

The tempo slider allows changing the tempo of each deck. This normally changes the pitch of a track, but you can make the pitch stay constant by pressing the “key lock / tempo range” button.Additionally, with shift, the “key lock / tempo range” will fade the tempo slowly to 0. The fading speed can be customized with the speedRateToNormalTime mapping option.

Vinyl mode makes the jogwheels emulate the way turntables work. Vinyl mode can be toggled by pressing the “vinyl / slip” button. Touching the outer plastic ring of the jogwheel will temporarily change the tempo like when vinyl mode is off. Touching the metal disc simulates touching the vinyl record, so just putting your hand on it will stop the “vinyl”. You can scratch in a similar way as with turntables in vinyl mode.

Mixxx mapping for Pioneer DDJ-RB controller

I have a Pioneer DDJ-RB controller and I wanted to use it with Mixxx(https://mixxx.org), however as this controller is newish no one has written the mapping for it. I first tried the mapping for Pionner DDJ-SB2 and I could get the Mixer and basic Decks working but a lot of the feature were not mapped, so I found the Pioneer documentation for Midi mapping and started work on this project.

At the moment this is a !!Work In Progress!! while I map all the midi messages. I have not tested the inital version yet.
