Bump to say that, even though the new DJay 5.0 is fantastic, the ONE thing keeping me from making DJay my main software is the lack of full SoundSwitch implementation. And not just the Ableton Link thing, I mean full support.
Especially with the amazing beatgrid improvements, it would work so nicely with SS. Please Algoriddim, the people need it 
I will be a full time subscriber with just this one feature.
How many people does it take to ACTUALLY make this happen? No, seriously…how many? DJAY developers, give us a goal. What will it take to get you to do this? Soundswitch has already said they would love to do it. What will it take on your end for us to make this happen? I am already a full time subscriber but I don’t use it full time simply because of this reason. Soundswitch is a true game changer for mobile DJ lighting. DJay 5.0 being released with it’s AWESOME beatgrid development, the new VERY clean stems separation, and cool crossfader changes is truly amazing. Don’t you think you could put the nail in the coffin with Soundswitch integration? If you want it to be a PRO solution, give us the PRO feature we are BEGGING for.
+Vote. There is a lot of activity in this thread, but the votes do not reflect it. Everyone please vote this up, if you would like to see SS support. Next we will need to get SS running on iPads for us mobile users.
Thats the truth! If DJAY PRO will get SS it will be the most powerful DJ software by faaar!
Same! Would love love love to make Djay pro my main but just can’t do it without SS 
There are several users who want to bring djay together with their lighting show, and @Slak_Jaw has cracked the door to that open somewhat with their iphone/ipad control of djay desktop app using OSC.
I’m of the position that deeper OSC integration is where algoriddim needs to take djay, because what we’re REALLY talking about is Show Control:
dig a little deeper into that and you might come to agree with me.
while soundswitch integration might be popular, what’s required is DMX sequencing to beatgrids etc, and remote iDevice control of it all is what people expect these days.
Perhaps we’ll have it sorted for djay v6
OR…Algoriddim isn’t going to listen until we start cancelling subscriptions. One common theme i have seen is that people are ALREADY subscribers but don’t want to use the software full time until we get SS integration. That’s like saying “I bought this car but I’m not going to drive it until the manufacturer gets me these wheels I want.” Do you think they ACTUALLY care how often you use the software? As long as you pay for it, they get what they want and have no incentive to add the features you want. The only way to get through to them is to start hitting them in the pocket. This thread is over 2 years old and there hasn’t been one single shred of evidence that they have any intentions of trying to make this happen. Even after SS openly said they would love to work with Algoriddim on integrating the two softwares. I know Algoriddim is a small company with limited employees, but they are going to stay that way unless they start giving the people that are subscribing the features they want.
well, perhaps they’re waiting for a clear indication from the userbase (subscribers) on which way to proceed?
That said, it seems to me that many users clearly don’t care, since the LED lights they use probably have sound-sensing capabilities and are happy with lights flashing in time to the music.
I’d say it’s the more professional folk here, the ones who make a significant portion of their income from using djay, who are most interested in a DMX lighting control/sequence integration…and they’re the ones who have chimed in here already.
Do the algoriddim folk attend/exhibit at any trade shows we might go to? NAMM etc? those of us who go to those should definitely stop in and put faces to handles and make our needs/desires known to them in person…
This may be true but it points more to this software/app being for the bedroom dj and amateur. Djay has so many cool features but is always lagging the “industry standard” platforms in a few essential features while knocking your socks off with others. Apple Steaming and Stems.
The app makes it easy to Dj, period. If that means amateurs are coming into the space, newbs are calling themselves DJs…well, good. It’ll fight off the impending tsunami of autonomous AI playing music. (I’m already warming up my shaking fist and practicing my “get off my lawn!” Voice)
Better people ask for what they want than have extraneous and/or esoteric options foisted on them. But if that’s not how you see it, I’m sure you can find what you’re lookin. for elsewhere, unless you’ve the chops to build it
Continuing the discussion from dmx lighting control Support:
This is the main feature that is causing me not to transition to DJay Pro as my go to DJ Software. I’m a working mobile DJ. 2-4 events/week. I am Serato based. I will use Virtual DJ on occasion. I spin mostly video. Mac Book Pro. Simply clicking a button in Soundswitch ( Control One user) between the two is nice.
I have used DJay Pro/Algoriddim for at least 10 years as an IOS app for a backup and remote wedding ceremonies or as a backup should main system go down. Serato has been rock solid and only times i have ever had to use Djay Pro is when power was an issue.
The recent Apple Music addition
got me to download on my Macbook Pro and start to look at Djay as my main software. The DMX lighting control is my main hangup. If i have to reprogram or revert to a separate control software or controller it defeats the purpose.
This will be my main hesitance in converting and or purchasing a control product with Algoriddim in mind.
SS used to advertise comparability with djay through Ableton Link, until it didn’t. The change happened quietly. But I suspect there may still be a way to have it work, because what’s happening behind the curtain is quite similar to a DAW/midi editing platform. We need some folk around here (other than @Slak_Jaw ) who are willing to dig into OSC. I suspect it’s not as daunting and unapproachable as a lot of folks tend to think.
Hi @Nathan_Baker, I’ve merged your other topic with this existing one to keep the conversation organized. Thanks!
NOTE: Please use the search function above before posting to avoid creating duplicate topics.
Im not happy to say I’m seriously considering switching to Serato simply because it works natively with Soundswitch. I’ve tried the Ableton Link “work around” that is terrible at best. I just can’t think of a good reason that Algoriddim would let this, from what I understand, open source protocol not work with their otherwise FANTASTIC software. I genuinely dislike using Serato.
This has been a source of discussion for years with no real answer. ABLETON IS NOT THE SOLUTION. IF Djay could tell Soundswitch what the BPM for the active deck is automatically, I might could get by. Ive never been able to get even that to work though. So unreliable I would NEVER trust it in a live situation, since some how Soundswitch tells Djay what the BPM is…
Algoriddim… You seem to really care for your users. IT’S BEEN LONG ENOUGH!!! PLEASE GIVE US FULL SUPPORT FOR SOUND SWITCH ASAP!!! Or tell us it will never happen so I can go complain to Serato that they don’t have the UI and features of DJAY PRO AI.
Your humble user,
DJ Beaver.
Hi @djbeaver, I’ve merged your topic with the existing Soundswitch topic to keep the discussion organized. In the future please use the search tool and refrain from creating multiple topics for the same discussion. Please also refrain from YELLING on this forum.

Thank you for the additional input. I will share this with the dev team for further consideration. We value all suggestions and consider them carefully. However, please understand that not all user suggestions can be implemented for various reasons. Also, as a policy we do not share product development roadmaps or timelines due to the nature of the development process. Please refer to this discussion on how our voting system works. Thanks for understanding.
Hi Algoriddim,
I also purchased and converted to Serato purely because of SoudSwitch compatibility. But I much prefer DJay in every other way. For me, the need for customizable lighting shows outweighs all the other benefits that DJay brings to the table. What’s needed to make this a reality?
I have also purchased Serato to use at my bigger gigs so I can have a professional light show… it’s a real bummer because DJay Pro is superior in practically every other way. Serato feels like running with ankle weights. I love this program but leveling my production up limits my usage of it. Seems to be the case with most folks here 
I still have this hope of using Soundswitch in Djay Pro, I’m still stuck with Virtual DJ for light shows.
I 100% agree and am in the same boat as Mike. I use Serato ONLY because it happens to have a good working relationship with SoundSwitch. For a product like Djay Pro that is meant to make the DJ job easier and more fluid, the thing that would do this the most is through SoundSwitch integration.
And yes, their team is one of the most responsive you’ll find. I would be surprised if they didn’t jump at the chance to help with this. I’ll gladly start paying yearly for a subscription to Djay pro if you all can make SoundSwitch work.
EVERYONE… VOTE to keep this a HOT TOPIC. The more votes, the more the developers will be aware and get this very important feature implemented into the software. I love djay Pro and use it as my main DJ software. Keep up the great work Algoriddim!
