Hi Dysfunk. My I ask you , do you experience jerky crossfader when you move the crossfader extremely slow ?

On djay pro it is a bit jerky like you mention. Doesn’t affect me at all though. Seems to run smooth in the mix. I can’t see how to show Crossfader in Serato to test.

Did you ever resolve this? I also have a jerky crossfader issue with my REV5 😔 Please update us if you’re able!

From a new related topic:

> [@Crossfader choppy in macOS (DDJ-REV5)](https://community.algoriddim.com/t/crossfader-choppy-in-macos-ddj-rev5/42479/9):
>
> I just used both of those MIDI Monitor tools. Both times, as I slowly move the crossfader, the data slows down and gets choppy towards the middle. Very similar to what I see in Djay Pro. So, does that pretty definitively make it a hardware issue?

Conclusion is a hardware or firmware related issue.
