Roland DJ-808 support in djay pro 5.3

hi. in djay pro v5.3, my Roland “DJ-808” appears as selectable in Settings… → Devices (screenshot), however the on-screen tracks/channels do not scrub fwd/back when i move the platters, nor does the start button on the hardware start playing the track.

  • Device model MBP M1 Max
  • Version of operating system: MacOS: 14.4.1 (23E224)
  • Version of djay: 5.3
  • Hardware/controllers used: Roland DJ-808

Hi @nharkins, welcome to the Community!

  1. Please note that this hardware is not natively supported for djay on macOS: DJ Controllers, DJ Mixers and other DJ Accessories | Algoriddim
  2. djay does recognize it as a compatible audio interface as shown in your screenshot
  3. However, if you want to use this as a MIDI controller, you will need to MIDI map this yourself. Please refer to the linked FAQ on how to MIDI map in djay for macOS: https://help.algoriddim.com/hc/en-us/articles/360014911871-How-do-I-MIDI-map-a-controller-on-djay-Pro-for-Mac

I hope that helps!
