Support for XDJ 1000 MK2 on Windows

I was really hype to see Algoriddm optimized for the new windows AI features. I have been wanting to switch to this software for a while so I decided to give it another try with my setup, but unfortunately they STILL don’t support the XDJ-1000 mk2. When I go to try to use the midi map configuration tool I’m left with a super frustrating blank screen with no controls popping up. Has anyone been able to get this controller to work? Algorridm, now that you have cool windows features do you mind sup…

Integrating djay with Xdj 1000 mk2?

How would I integrate the Xdj 1000 mk2 with djay? I would like to set up the integration so that I can use the sync features and everything will work correctly through the decks and analog mixer. Do I need a special sound connector to do this or does it work directly with the USB?

Hi @pelim, thanks for continuing to show interest in support for this hardware. I will bring this to the dev team again for consideration.

Second It’s crazy to me that there isn’t support for these players. I’d jump so fast from Rekordbox to DJay Pro if I could just use my hardware.

Please add support for xdj1000mk2 for windows. Was about to move to Djay from Rekordbox… but I guess not

@Slak_Jaw Thanks for bringing it to the dev team again! Any update on Advanced HID support for the Pioneer XDJ-1000MK2?

[Slak_Jaw]

You’re welcome @pelim. We don’t have any updates to share on this.

[AgentOllie]

Ok but can you confirm both cdj3000’s and xdj1000mk2s work on Mac with djay pro?
If that’s the case I’m happy to buy a Mac I really want to start live remixing in the club with neural tools it’s so much fun on the app!

[Slak_Jaw]

I answered you in the other post. You need a macOS device to use these. Note that the XDJ-1000MK2 is not supported though. Only MK1.

[AgentOllie]

Ok thanks for confirming

[AgentOllie]

What is advanced hid support? I thought it worked with Mac OS?
I actually managed to get it going on windows (but without screen input) and the jog/vinyl wheels were very smooth I’m sure it’s accessing hid mode here.

[AgentOllie]

Oh darn that’s disappointing. There’s not a lot of difference between the two models. I wonder if mk2s still work if djay thinks they are mk1?

I managed to MIDI map the mk2 quite well on windows - Just no screen

@AgentOllie

What is advanced hid support?

Advanced HID support means the hardware connects to the software using HID (Human Interface Device) mode instead of acting like a “normal” MIDI controller or just sending audio.

• Faster response: Buttons, jog wheels, screens, and lights react quicker than MIDI.
• Better jog wheels: Smoother scratching and pitch bending.
• On-screen displays: Some decks show waveforms, track info, or cue points directly on the hardware screens.

I’m not 100% sure, but I believe there are currently some underlying technical differences that prevent the MK2 from being natively supported with djay.

Just revisiting this topic to see if there is any progress on getting support for the XDJ-1000MK2 players?

They are the only “major” players in the Pioneer range that are not currently supported, which means you’re in big trouble if you turn up at the club with your laptop and they have these in the booth!

Maybe we need some more votes…?

[pelim]

@Slak_Jaw i’m still waiting for a response from the development team! The XDJ 1000 MK II was released almost 10 years ago and as far I know the only Pioneer Player that is still not supported.

Virtual DJ is supporting the XDJ 1000 MK II since 2017 and Traktor since 2020

I created a feature request in the pioneer forum also

Hi again @pelim, last time I checked there was a technical limitation preventing support. I’ll push this suggestion again with the hardware team though. Thanks!

@Slak_Jaw

I’m not 100% sure, but I believe there are currently some underlying technical differences that prevent the MK2 from being natively supported with djay.

[Slak_Jaw]

This hardware is now supported with the latest djay 5.5 release:

• Added native plug-and-play support for CDJ-3000X and XDJ-1000MK2 (macOS, Windows), and DDJ-XP1

[Belford_Roxo]

Yay!
That was the one big Pioneer player that I was always terrified of running into in a booth.
Onwards and upwards!
