I wanted to share some mapping changes for my brand Reloop Mixtour PRO.
I’ve configured the Browse encoder to control the tempo by switching Seek to Tempo in the mapping settings and adjusting the encoder sensitivity. Now, when I press and hold the Mode button for the correct deck, I can smoothly adjust the tempo of the track.
However, I’ve encountered a problem. When the deck is in a loop, the same combination triggers manual loop shortening instead. I removed the mapping positions responsible for loop shortening, but unfortunately, Djay doesn’t respond to the encoder when in a loop. Now, the loop doesn’t shorten but the tempo also doesn’t change. Everything works as planned when I exit the loop, but when I’m in a loop, I can’t adjust the tempo. This is crucial for me as I often mix at different tempos.
Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated!
Hi @Michal_Ciaston, sorry for the delayed response. I don’t yet have access to a Reloop Mixtour Pro to check myself so I have passed this onto the engineering team to see if they can offer any suggestions. I’ll report back when I have news. Thanks!
Hi @Michal_Ciaston, since you have already deleted the loop mapping, please start by first resetting to the built-in factory mapping. Once you have the factory built-in mapping back, instead of removing the loop mapping you should change the mapping to tempo in the mapping settings, then it should work.
@Djaxeman, holding MODE+ SHIFT+ Play/Pause will increase the BPM and holding MODE+ SHIFT+ Cue will decrease the BPM. This is standard on the Reloop Mixtour Pro. You can see Laidback Luke demo this at around 9:10 in the video linked below.
I know that this is the option of laidback Luke but is little bit too difficult . I mean its not handy
So I thought the option with mode plus browse is easier to up and down bpm but it does not work
Only is it does play fast forward or backwards
Hi @Djaxeman, I don’t have access to this hardware yet, but you could try making a copy of the Built-in MIDI Mapping and changing it to the way you want within the MIDI Learn tool of djay.
Hello! It’s been more than 9 days since my last reply. I’m going to consider this topic completed for now so I can focus on others. However, please feel free to respond and we can definitely revisit this. Thanks!
It’s currently mapped to Select library source but I stick to the same on so happy to change that manually if required.
Map as follows…
Target: Selected Deck
Action: Tempo
Advanced Config:
Invert: On
Speed: 10% to get 0.1 bpm increments
Presumably SYNC will be on so it doesn’t matter which is the selected deck.
However, to add this ability to change tempo on an un-sync’d deck I duplicate the headphone monitor mapping and then map it as follows:
Target: General
Action: Select Deck 1/2
This way if you press the headphone button it will become the selected deck
I am attempting what you have done. however the issue is when I do change the tempo the sync turns off. and it only changing tempo on the left deck. any ideas?
an update. so. when im playing the left deck and the main out front track and sync is on I can change both decks tempo and sync stays on. but this doesn’t happen when the right deck is the main deck. the sync turns off and only the left deck tempo changes.
another update! problem only happens when channel 1 fader is all the way down
Hi @Nubium, I believe this is expected behaviour based on djay’s logic for determining which Deck is the Master Tempo Deck. Here is some information on how the Master Deck is automatically determined in djay. In basic terms, the Master Deck is determined by the Deck that is actively playing through the master output (ex. Channel Fader and Crossfader open). I’ll explain with 3 common scenarios:
SCENARIO 1: No Decks Playing
With Sync OFF and 2 new tracks loaded into Deck 1 and Deck 2.
The Deck that you press the Sync button ON becomes the Slave and the other becomes the Master.
For example, if you press Sync on Deck 1, Deck 2 becomes the Master Deck.
SCENARIO 2: Two Decks Playing
This is basically the same a Scenario 1, but with the both Decks already playing.
With Sync OFF and 2 new tracks loaded and Playing on Deck 1 and Deck 2.
The Deck that you press the Sync button ON becomes the Slave and the other becomes the Master.
SCENARIO 3: One Deck Playing
By default, the actively playing Deck is the Master. So the Deck that is Playing through the master output and the audience can hear (ex. Channel Fader and Crossfader Open).
Pressing Play and the Sync Button on either Deck 1 or Deck 2 will Sync it to the one that was Playing first. For example, Deck 1 is playing through the main speakers and Deck 2 is paused with a new track. If you press Sync on Deck 1 or on Deck 2, Deck 2 will Sync to Deck 1 because it’s already playing and is considered the Master Deck.
The first Deck remains the Master Deck until you stop playback and load another track onto that Deck.
In this case, the other Deck that is now actively Playing with the Channel Fader Open and Crossfader side Open becomes the new Master Deck.
