When using it as a USB controller, the DJ app does all the audio processing and mixing and just sends the master output channels to the controller’s audio interface. Using hardware FX in the controller is limiting in this scenario. And since Serato/Rekordbox uses a software version of the original Pioneer FX there really is no difference from a user’s perspective. At the same time the FLX10 also has the hardware FX for external/line sources, which is really nice.
So, what you are really requesting in this thread, is that Algoriddim should license the Pioneer FX package and integrate it into DJay Pro. This would make the FX section seamless as it is on Serato/Rekordbox. I will vote for that!
Have you try to use external mixing mode (if possible)? I don’t have a flx10 but on rane controllers it is possible to rout the channels directly to the channels in the build in Mixer - than I can use the build in hardware fx.
Hi @Steinar, I spoke with engineering, because of the hardware design of the FLX10 it is not possible to use hardware FX with DJ software, so controlling software FX is the only possibility. Thanks!
Yes, I studied the signal flow chart in the manual and came to the same conclusion. I just didn’t expect it since my REV 7 works that way. But maybe that’s something new they are doing in the FLX series.
yes, the issue with beat fx. it just sounds bad because it runs through the software. and Auto BPM → „section Beat FX“, also doesn’t work. it always shows 120 bpm
Hi @DJKamyR, I’ve moved you comment from the general FLX10 discussion to this one. Please note as shared above that it’s not possible to use the hardware FX with the FLX10. Can you please try to capture a video of the Auto BPM/Beat FX issue, upload it to your Google Drive/Dropbox, enable sharing permissions, then share a link to the video here? Thanks!
@Slak_Jaw I read in this post about the issues with the color fx. But there is not enough discription, at least for my specific issue. I think the deadzone of the knobs is to low. So when I have the knobs in the center (where its locked) often the effecteds are still activated. After some adjusting left/right it can be deactivated. My flx10 is days old and I never have this issue in rekordbox or serato.
The color effects on the controller can either go up or down. In djay pro it only works for the filter. For all the other effects it doesn’t make a difference if I turn up or down. In both ways the effects are simmilar.
On the beat effect I can change the beat (or other details) of the effect. On the controller it is saved on which level it was last for each effect. On the software it is saved for all the effects.
Example: I have the delay on and change it to 1/2 beat. If I change the effect to low pass delay. In the software it is stays on 1/2 beat, but on the controller it shows 1 beat, which is the standard value (or the last I used).
→ So after using many effects for e period of time it gets really messy. The screen on the controller doesn’t show any true value of the effect in djay pro.
Hi @DJKamyR, please note that the Tap and Auto BPM feature does work, however, the little FX display unfortunately doesn’t update to reflect it. This display is similar to the jog wheel displays and requires the manufacturer to update the firmware for djay to have access to it.
Regarding “it just sounds bad because it runs through the software”, again, we have to use djay FX because we do not have access to the Pioneer hardware FX. Do you have some specific pain points we could maybe alleviate? Is there a specific effect that is not available in the djay FX that you’d like to see added?
