Hi @hardbea7,

  1. Please refer to the linked FAQ on how to MIDI map in the macOS version of djay: https://help.algoriddim.com/hc/en-us/articles/360014911871-How-do-I-MIDI-map-a-controller-on-djay-Pro-for-Mac
  2. I don’t have access to that hardware, but I would try MIDI Mapping SHIFT+Load Deck 1 to Load Deck 3 and SHIFT+Load Deck 2 to Load Deck 4.

Hello! It’s been more than 14 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!

I can map my FLX4 freely, I mapped SHIFT + CUE deck 1,2 to active for controlling stems volume etc… but XZ is not responding to midi mapping like the FLX4, I tried to midi map some buttons nothing happens…I can’t midi map for loading songs, or the stem volume control, if you don’t have the controller you probably don’t really understand what’s my problem…

Hi @hardbea7,

  1. Are you connecting to a Windows laptop, Mac or iOS device?
  2. Did you download and install the latest drivers for the XDJ-XZ?

Hi @hardbea7, thanks for the details about your hardware. It’s possible that some of the controls on the XZ do not send MIDI commands and are therefor not MIDI Mappable. When you are in the MIDI Learn tool in djay, what happens when you press buttons on the XZ? Do any of them respond?

most dont respond, only pads and some buttons

Okay, thanks for confirming @hardbea7. unfortunately, this is a limitation of the hardware and mapping of these controls is not permitted within the MIDI Learn tool of djay.

Hi, for reference I have successfully mapped the entire mixer section of the xz with no issues. It’s been some time but I recall having some issues mapping other midi functions such as the platters etc. but it will have another go in the next couple of days and see if I can get any further with it.
I’m using iOS on an iPad.
