Hi, just trying to get a portable setup going with DJay pro on iOS (an ipad pro) and a Hercules Starlight controller. The controller seems to function ok except for the crossfader. No effect.
Should the Hercules starlight (serato) controller work out of the box with DJay on iOS?
The controller does work great with Serato Pro on my mac, I just don’t want to lug the laptop to the beach. DJay pro on the iPad seems like a convenient alternative, would be nice to get the cross fader working.
Ah. Thanks. I didn’t dig that deep before. Strangely it worked after i rebooted/reconnected everthing. But then it happened again 1/2 hour later. I do see my settings the same as yours for midi crossfader settings. I think maybe i’ll see play with it some more to see if i can find a commonality when it works/doesn’t work. cheers man
If the problem is intermittent, I suggest you also try a different USB cable with ferrite chokes. External interference or simply poor quality cables have been know you cause intermittent issues like this. Have you noticed any audio drop outs?
I haven’t noticed any dropouts, but you have a good point with cabling. I’m using budget radio shack connectors and have already had to change out some cables. Do you know if the OEM cables that come with the retail device (usb) have the ferrite clamp? I have a sack with enough cables in it to strangle an octopus… there should be one in there.
All of my controllers issues disappeared after factory midi reset in djay settings. Regularly I have to disconnect and reconnect cables if the devices have been sitting for a bit but I can now use the tools properly. Thanks for the help
