Can someone explain to me why it is that when I use the XDJ-XZ or the XDJ-AZ as a controller they do not properly sync the BPM of the beatFX?
I tried switching the internal/external mixer mode, FXquantize on/off, auto/tap….but none made a difference.
Sometimes the BeatFX are all of a sudden in sync with the active track but most times it just sticks to the BPM it last synced with…
I must be doing something wrong cause I can’t find any threads with people having the same problem?
I’m using the latest version Djay Pro and running it on a MacBook Pro M1 16Gb RAM, 500Gb SSD.
I’ve been using multiple XDJ’s (XZ and AZ) on different locations and always made sure the controllers run on the latest firmware.
Hi @delaSarge, thanks for the detailed info.
- Please make sure you are using the (built-in) MIDI mapping for the AZ and XZ and not a custom edit.
- With the XDJ-AZ or XDJ-XZ connected to your Mac, please navigate to the djay Settings>Devices, then expand the drop-down menu at the bottom left near the “?” and select Reset to Defaults. This will ensure the proper configuration.
- After this, please retest, and confirm if you are still experiencing sync issues with Beat FX. Thanks!
Hi again @delaSarge, engineering has identified the issue and is working on a fix which should be included in an upcoming update (likely 5.6.4). Thanks!
You’re welcome @delaSarge
Hi @delaSarge, 5.6.4 was released today and should address this issue with the XDJ-AZ. Please update and confirm. Thanks!
So I used a XDJ-XZ yesterday with the updated version 5.6.4. but there was no noticeable difference. On those few moments when the FX-bpm is actually syncing to the active track, the BPM in the display is slowly changing/syncing towards the actual BPM, which I don’t understand. It seems as if the XDJ is the one that is measuring the BPM but I would assume that the BPM is being send through midi to the XDJ….
Hi @delaSarge, as stated above and in the 5.6.4 release notes, this only applies to the AZ.
