Disabling the Crossfader

Hi,

I like to see some improvements like being able to put the crossfader off. This because i sometimes accidentally touching the crossfader and it ruined my mix.

Thanks for the suggestion @Lucien. I will forward this onto the dev team.

  1. In the meantime, you can simply delete the MIDI assignment for this in the MIDI Mapping for your hardware.
  2. Alternatively, you can also set the crossfader curve to Cut in the djay Settings>Sound>MIXER>Crossfader Curve. This won’t disable it entirely, but is a better option than the other curves if you typically want it fully open.

@Lucien In case you’re unfamiliar with MIDI Mapping, we have some how-to guides for each OS.

  1. Basically you just navigate to Settings>MIDI Devices>MIDI DEVICES>“your hardware name”.
  2. Once here, simply move the Crossfader on your hardware to locate the MIDI Control Assignment on the left.
  3. On iOS, you slide to the left on the assignment to bring up the Delete command. On Windows and macOS, I believe you Right-Click to reveal Delete.

It will do with the cut mode on the crossfader curve.

Thanks you so much for your time and effort.

Best regards,
Luciën

You’re welcome @Lucien. Happy to help!

@Lucien you can also enable Crossfader Cutting Mode, which basically turns it into an On/Off switch:

Thank you for the advice man !

I would love to have an option to turn off the crossfader. I know it can be done, but you have to put it in 4 deck mode, change the options to thru, then put it back in 2 deck mode.

A simple option in the settings would be better.

Hi @David_Bielby, thanks for the suggestion. I’ve merged this with an existing topic. Please use the blue Vote button at the top left of this page. Thanks!

Is there any other option to remove the cross fader? The reason for asking is I’ve had it tapped down and that does some of the trick but unfortunately this leaves your active deck always on one deck. I want to utilize the match feature to start making essentially mini playlists but I don’t use the crossfader only the volume faders. It seems like there should be an option because its recognized that the active deck has changed; when I’m transitioning and i bring the volume fader down it turns that decks cue one preparing for the next track. Also if you turn your cross fader off via midi it then adds the cross fader onto the screen and takes away the option to turn off so its taking up more screen space to show the thing I’m actively trying to disable.
thank you

Hi @drew_sawyer, you could try switching to 4 Deck Mode and setting the crossfader assignment for all 4 Decks to Thru.

Where exactly is the thru option? I was looking earlier and didn’t see that. I typically run 4 decks.

There’s a pop-up menu at the bottom for each deck.
