Not sure what’s going on but i recall. the first time ever i hooked my ipad pro on a hercules it didn’t work on first attempt, but eventually did. It is pre-mapped by default. No need to map. You might wonna quit/restart a kfew times both the app, iphone and power-cycle the SX2.
Update your djay to 5.4.4 too, and the sx2 firmware too. I believe the latest firmware is v1.06.
If all fail, then we have to fault your USB/dongle setup. Lightning usb dongles are always a hit or miss. Does your iphone dongle have a charging port and is connected to power? AND i believe most dongles require that you FIRST connect to a charger BEFORE hooking up your iphone and any USBs

Hi @Brown_bkp,

You could try a fresh djay installation to see if that clears up the issue. I suggest that you backup your djay Media Library database and any custom MIDI mappings, then uninstall djay, reboot your device, and reinstall the latest version of djay.

You can find the files above in the following locations: iOS: using the Files App, navigate to Locations->On My iPhone/iPad->djay->User Data
macOS: https://help.algoriddim.com/hc/en-us/articles/360014912211-Where-does-djay-Pro-store-playlists-cue-points-and-other-data-on-my-Mac
Windows: https://help.algoriddim.com/hc/en-us/articles/360014912131-Where-does-djay-Pro-store-cue-points-and-other-metadata

Copy the files to a new location or external drive before uninstalling djay. After reinstallation, you can simply copy these files back to their original locations to maintain your Hot Cues, Saved Loops, My Collection Playlists, History and Queue.

If that doesn’t work, I would try connecting with a different USB cable.

How exactly are you connecting your iPhone 11 to the DJ controller? Please share some photos of all cables and adapters.

Hi @Brown_bkp and @DJChambinhoBH, please try the following:

  1. Disconnect all cables and adapters from your iPhone and DJ controller.
  2. Close djay.
  3. Perform a Forced Restart of your iPhone.
  4. After restarting, connect your powered Genuine Apple Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter or Genuine Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter to your iPhone.
  5. Connect your original Apple iPhone charger and cable to the Adapter and confirm that your iPhone is charging.
  6. Connect your DJ controller to the Adapter using a high-quality USB cable (ideally with dual ferrites on either end).
  7. Confirm that your DJ controller powers up.
  8. Launch djay.
  9. Open the djay Settings>MIDI Devices and confirm that your controller is shown under MIDI DEVICES.
  10. If not, scroll down to the bottom and press Rescan for MIDI Devices.
  11. If this doesn’t work, unplug the USB cable from your DJ controller for a second then plug it back in.
  12. If this doesn’t work, try a different USB cable.
