DDJ-FLX4 MIDI Map (Unofficial 2.9)

DDJ-FLX4 (Unofficial2.9).djayMidiMapping (79.9 KB) mapped Smart Fader button to use the Toggle Crossfader FX command. Notes: unfortunately the built-in FLX4 Algoriddim mapping restricts users from accessing the Toggle Crossfader FX command and the physical Smart Fader button on the FLX4.

Excelente, smart fader is amazing!!

I prefer djay pro ai over rekordbox, the user interface is better and it’s more efficient on Mac I think. But I have a FLX 4 and rekordbox use the controller better than djay pro.

This is a good move in the right way but, i dont go back to djay until smart colors and beat fx are compatible, its close, i waitting with hope.

Thanks for the work guys.

Scooped up the flx4 for the heck of it today.

Is 3.0 the one i go ahead and get @Michael_Wisniewski?

Anything missing from it function wise?

[MrG]

Got it loaded! Works great. Love the smart fader toggle implementation.

Two thumbs up

Yes, 3.0 is the one. It’s not perfect but it’s pretty robust.

I cant seem to get the manual fx to work correctly when it comes to the “fx select” button. I have it mapped for deck one when i press it , it cycles through the fx menu for manual fx in djay. But for deck two i cant figure it out. I mapped fx1 for deck two to the on/off blinker button but the fx select for deck two wont map to -deck 2 fx 1 select next.

It works if i map it to the “beat” button but cant get it to the fx select

Any clue? @Michael_Wisniewski

[Michael_Wisniewski]

Yup, here’s an update to version 3.1.

DDJ-FLX4 MIDI Mapping (Unofficial 3.1)

• BEAT FX Deck Selector - now selects Deck 1 or 2 (the option to select 1&2 does not work, it does not send a MIDI command).
• FX SELECT button cycles through FX on selected deck. SHIFT+FX SELECT cycles in reverse.
• BEAT arrows adjust main FX parameter. SHIFT+RIGHT arrow = BPM Tap. SHIFT+LEFT arrow = Restores Analyzed BPM and Grid
• LEVEL/DEPTH knob adjusts Dry/Wet
• ON/OFF button - toggles FX for selected Deck
• SHIFT+ON/OFF - toggles Neural Mix/EQ for selected Deck

MIDI commands for the BEAT FX Deck Selector 1 & 2

[MrG]

Heck yeah! Definitely appreciate it!

I had been at it all morning trying to figure it out.

I shall update it right now. Its been a fun lil controller to mess with on the fly.

Thank you so much for this mapping it’s fantastic!

I remapped SHIFT+Smart CFX to toggle previous crossfader fx
And SHIFT+ Smart fader to toggle next crossfader fx

Works like a treat with your new version

disclaimer for what are probably very beginner level questions:
I’m brand new to mixing (or any form of music performance) and recently bought an FLX4.

1. Is this MIDI mapping essentially custom “keybindings” for the FLX4 in djay Pro?
   (sorry, I only have a limited understanding of MIDI so “keybindings” is the first analogy I thought of)

2. Would this custom mapping be better/easier for a new user as compared to the default FLX4 mapping in djay?

3. Is there anywhere online I can find a guide or tutorial on how the buttons and knobs on the FLX4 work within djay?
   I’ve found tons of guides and tutorials for Rekordbox and although I know the FLX4 isn’t built for djay specifically, I thought it odd that I’ve had such a hard time coming across anything resembling a comprehensive guide on websites or YouTube. My only solution thus far has been trial and error/looking at the MIDI mapping settings in the software (which are a bit confusing for a novice)

[Michael_Wisniewski]

I recommend using the official Built-In MIDI mapping.

I’ve stopped updating this one because lot of changes have taken place under the hood of djay Pro since I built this mapping. Much of the functionality is not or is no longer accessible via a custom MIDI mapping. In addition, it looks like we can expect more functionality down the road that won’t be accessible by us.

So best to work with the official built-in MIDI mapping - and customize from there.

Hello,

I have some questions:

1. Do you know where can I find a doc of Algoriddim official mapping for DDJ-FLX4 (actually this is the same question as raised by @WhiteJamesToney but has not been answered, if I get it right ?
2. Is there any function Djay Pro function that is NOT standard mapped for DDJ-FLX4 by Algoriddim - I mean is something missing (this is probably for @Michael_Wisniewski) ?

The reason is I currently have a Reloop Buddy (and I like it), but there are some humming issues when iPad is reaching closer to full charge - and I do not want to care about power level when DJ-ing (one more time constraint). So, I am investigating DDJ-FLX4, although I like my Buddy.

Thank you very much for your help.
