I do, can you be more specific though, where exactly are you stuck at?. Are you familiar with midi?

To start things off make sure you have your Midi Cable plugged into "Midi Out". Next you want to route the cable to your PC or Mac via a "Usb dongle". Then make sure your device is recognized if not by install the required driver.

Once your all connected and ready to go setting up the actual midi config, look at your mixer first not serato. Follow these simple steps:

1. Power up the mixer

2. Look at the center of the mixer, there's a center knob that says "Console Setup". Push and hold the knob in for at least 2 sec. A small menu should pop up on the menu should pop up on the lcd.
Use the same knob to scroll down the list to midi settings and push down on the knob to select.

Personally i disable the sampler section, as it's a section i don't use, and for testing purposes lets do that, select the sampler in the list and then hit the blue "Midi Start/Stop - ESC. button underneath the "Console Setup" knob.

3. Now you can open up Serato Scratch Live. Click on the "Midi" button and left click on something with very visual feedback like a Cue button (Make sure you click the play button icon on the left side and not the "X" button on the left) and when it waits for midi input with its green box hit any button on the bottom left of the mixer under the sampler section. If everything worked the small dialogue box should have changed from green to orange. Now you can click on midi once again on the top of the screen to go back to the actual SSL interface.

4. Now load up a track that has cue points to your left deck and let it play (or grab any track but have enable hot cues checked in the setup menu).

Use the button you midi mapped on your mixer, and if everything's right... it'll drop back to that cue point every time.


Now Just let me know when you get that last step and i'll be glad to help you get more detailed in mapping the rest of the controls.

Thank you very much. I appreciate the detailed information. All the videos I have watched they eliminate on key factor. "you have to disable the buttons in the setup that you want to map"

Thanks again

I had the same problem. Read through this word by word and it still isn't working for me. Im using the ddm4000 SL 2.3.3. (box 1). I select the sample buttons and the dialog box remains orange. Any ideas?

Watchwww.youtube.com Take a look at this video and hopefully it'll explain all you need to know.

Also, on the mixer itself make sure that the sample section is selected in your midi settings.

I got all of the basic stuff but can i use serato time codec vinyl to play without the interface box

Along with this mixer

No you still need the Serato box.

Thanks for the info bro..i actually came to GC and grab the ddm400 while I wait to for the 62 to arrive. and im running through the same problems trying to set up the midi functions. the 4000 is a great mixer for the price though.

I can't find the midi control panel in serato itch.I don't see anything thing that"s labeled midi on my itch screen.Using a macpro,v'7s,ddm mixer and midi connector.

^ itch doesn't allow midi mapping.

i take it can't go straight to scratch live with out purchasing sl1,2,3,4 interface box?

correct!, but when Serato DJ adds support for the v7's you will be able to use Serato DJ and midi map ur DDM-400.

Any chance in Serato Dj that i will be abel to use my numark x5 mixer with Serato Dj even though it doesn't support mini for video.

that i dn't know, sorry

Zero chance. Its not about the programs support, You mixer does not have the hardware todo what you want. You need a mixer with MIDI.

I have a question for dj _ tech I been trying to set my ddm4000 up for while now.. The midi part you listed will help but I can't seem to fine a answer for probably an easy question.. I have ssl box.. You mentioned the midi out.. So I need to also have my USB MIDI interface in the mix? And do I need a USB dongle..? Are u referring to a hub.. Memory stick?. Plz help.. Cuz I am so tired of trying to get this to work

Well I am using both.. But mapping isn't registering

Get one of these in order to set up the Midi. m-audio.com

I already have one. Well something better but the same.. I have a m - audio 2x2 anniversary edition.. Still like my last message says... I'm not getting anything from the mixer.. The lights in serato go green when I move only a pitch fader... No buttons register..

Also I need explained.. Set up of the hardware.. Dude said.. Plug in the midi out... So don't plug midi in?

Hold down the center knob and choose what channels you want to use for midi. Then go to the midi set up in Serato. And follow everything in the video.

Been doing that.. Nothing on the mixer registers Cept the pitch faders for mapping.. And even tho I see em go green after moving em.. In Play.. They don't do what I assign em to do. And still no buttons map. I need step by step.. Play by play instructions.. From set up on the gear to what and where I go on my mac.. And what I should be seeing each process... I need at this for about 2 months.. Called serato.. Called Gemini... Called Behringer

Been* at this

Everyone says go into midi on the Behringer.. Been there all it is.. Is what decks I want cancelled.. When I choose em.. They after black out with no led... That's all I get.. I go to assign something.. On decks that are still open or closed button or knob wise. Nothing.. Pitch faders.. Register.. But don't actually work.. When I load a track and play from there

In the mixer midi settings put a X in the box of channel 1 & 4. Then go open Serato, go to midi settings, click the assign button, then press a button or move a knob on channel 1 & 4 on the mixer. If that does not work you have communication issues with your cable.

What about the Mac.. Do I change anything on the Mac?

Also do I wanna do a midi out from mixer into M-audio.. And then another cable midi in to M-audio out?.. Because the dude said make sure to plug in midi out... Making it sound like I use just one cord

Also if 1 and 4 are xed out.. Do the cables in the back feed through 1 and 4 or 2 and 3..?

Use channels 2&3 as your main channels. 1&4 for your Midi controls.

Only one cord goes from Midi Out to USB.

If your Midi adapter came with software you might have to install it.

The issue was my mac wasn't reading the plug-ins in midi setup.. My fault.. And then u also had two cords in the M-audio.. So thank you its working.! And mapping to the touch.. Very pleased .. I know this section of the forum is based in Behringer and ssl... But one question.. Every time I like move my jog wheels on a loaded track that isn't in Play.. It will make the track play.. Which I don't want.. I want to be able to lightly scroll the track... Would it be because I'm in CD mode and not vinyl on the cdjs?.. I didn't have time to check it before I had to go to work

I* also

I'm not sure about the CDJ part, I only use turntables. Glad everything else worked out for you.

Where do I go to download drivers for ddm4000 so I can Mapping my scartch live in have pc

All you need are the drivers for your midi interface.

Hi all, I also have the ddm4000 mixer and I've been trying to have the lights turn on when using it as a midi controller for SSL and SDJ. In my case I have channels 2&3 setup to control effects (knobs for wet/dry and p1,p2,p3 buttons to activate effects) and sample section for SP6 but a I have not been able to turn on the lights when activating the effect or samples. Is it possible, if so anyone knows how or have a xml example file for that? will really appreciate the help.

Thanks,

Sus'n (a.k.a Chuy)

Sorry,
forgot to mention I use the M-Audio UNO usb connection.

Sus'n (a.k.a Chuy)

Hi I'm looking forward to buy the Behringer DDM4000
But I would like to know if I can use it with serato Dj 1.9
And turntables.
Also if I need a mapping for the Behringer DDM4000 using serato Dj in order to get everything working.

Thank you in advance

Yes it works. You need a USB Midi interface.www.dancetech.com

Thank you for answer me...
If I have the Box SL3 ( interface ) that will work, right?
Or I still need that pice I saw in the link you post
Do I need any mapping?

Yes SL3 works you need that piece to do midi. This video will help you on how to set up the midi.

Watchwww.youtube.com

Would this work only on ssl 123 ? i have serato scratch live not 123...

Is it possible to MIDI map the Behringer DDM4000 with Serato DJ? I have read a lot about it working with Scratch Live. I have had no luck figuring this out with Serato Technical Support over email or with Behringer. Behringer thinks that Serato does not have this capability on Serato DJ yet. I do have an SL2, and a mio MIDI cable I bought from Guitar Center. I would be grateful for any feedback or help.

Yes it works the same as Scratch Live.

You cannot use the DDM4000 in MIDI mode and Audio mode at the same time like every other mixer out there. You need a new mixer, Virtually every other MIDI mixer out there will do MIDI and Audio at the same time.

Thank you for replying. I have my midi cable connected to the midi out, on the back of the Beringer DDM4000, when I select midi in Serato, nothing changes when I turn the dial or press the button on the mixer. Serato even had me download a midi detecting software. Everything that I have tried has failed. Are there any other steps I need to complete?

You CAN NOT use that Mixer.

You need to read the manual for Mixer and figure out how to turn on MIDI mode. But once in MIDI mode it's not a mixer anymore, no Audio will go in or out of the mixer, making it functionally useless. Serato doesnt have any internal mixer function. So somehting like VDJ or Traktor will work with it because you are midi mapping the the 4000 to the internal mixer.

I appreciate the information you just gave me, that really helps a lot. I will just use my dicers to do some of the functions I was thinking of using on the mixer. I will invest in a Rane mixer. For now the mixture will work for its basic features. Thanks again.

I wouldn't. But I'm not a rane mixer fan.

If you don't mind me asking, what type of mixer do you use?

Pioneer, Which I will admit are not the "best " sound quality. But Function is super important to me, and rane can't seem to make a mixer with buttons that dont break. Since Numark just bought them as well I would wait to see what they come out with next year.

I also had a Xone 92 for years and loved the sound but sold it because the needed better functions.

Nice! I'm going to have to look into those mixers. I like pioneer also; I have a DDJ wego3 for small parties. Thank you for sharing. Have a great night.

Stop giving him bad information. I use SSL & Serato DJ Midi Mapped to the mixer.

The midi functions work perfectly on the mixer. Just make sure you download the drivers for the midi cord. Watchwww.youtube.com

Another vid. Watchwww.youtube.com

I HAD IT MAPPED FOR PC NOW I HAVE A MAC AND NO LUCK WITH MAPPING CAN SOMEONE WALK ME THOUGHT IT 911LOL

You can use the DDM4000 for both ****Dj xXtreme****
i have cue points for each deck from the mixer, also channel 1 &4 for Fx for each channel
where it says SAMPLER i mapp that to scroll up and down the library and load A & B deck.
You can do a lot with this mixer.
I know ppl here are trying to help but there is some information that is not true.
I know you are going to ask for the mapping tsi but i don't know how you take that an send it to somebody.
go to YT and do your research and you will found step by step how to do it
make sure your midi cable are set correctly.
good luck!

Look at the links I posted in my replies above.

Hey guys, I've managed to get my the ddm 4000 mapping working once but now it doesn't seem to work now... Not sure what happened. Everything is set up as mentioned above but when it comes to assigning midi controls, serato doesn't pick it up. The drivers for the midi USB is installed and the lights on my midi USB show feedback when I play around with the mixer. Checked the midi settings on the ddm 4000 but when promoted to assign midi control, serato doesn't recognise any input.

And also, does anyone know if its possible to assign the center knob (the one used to hold down for settings)

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks guys

1. Do you have the Midi Settings for the DDM-400 Saved in Serato? Can save settings for whatever name you want. Can have multiple Midi mappings just save each under a different name.

2. Check the cable. I had to go thru quite a few before I found one that worked consistently. Sometimes unplugging the cable then plugging it back in fixes it. Like sometimes Serato doesn't see the mixer connected. Can see this in the midi section on Serato.

3. None of the buttons in the center section of the mixer can be mapped.

Thanks RJW,

Had a good play around but still no luck. Tried another midi USB brand and same response. Do you mind telling me know what midi USB cable you're using? Current using the emu 1x1.

Also good to know about the central knob configurations too.

Also, checked serato midi devices and the USB midi device shows on the list.

Hey RJW,

I figured it out. So it was the version 2.2. There was a software bug which they identified. Upgrade to 2.3 and it works fine now.

Hi,

I recently purchased the DDM4000 for home use only.

I have been playing with serato lite and lick the software..

My question is,If I buy DJ Pro can I use the mixers midi controls to control the software function.

Also Is there a way to test the midi controls in DJ Lite..

Yes you can if you have a USB midi cable. The buttons and knobs you use are limited though. Not all of them can be mapped. Have a go

Hi, Thanks..

I have a usb uno midi cable and it is set up ready to map.. And I have serato software playing through the line in on the mixer Volume only at present,

Did you say it can be done in lite as I can seem to figure it out.. Or do you recommend I take the 14 day free trial of pro to see how it works.

Thanks

I believe you can do it on lite. Think there's quite a few YouTube videos that can show you how to map it. Otherwise, stick with Pro.

Hi Eisen,

Thanks.. I will try the 14 day pro trial..

Hi Eisen,

Thanks.. I will try the 14 day pro trial.. and see if I can map the midi functions..

One more question,

When I open the Pro version it asks for what controller you have and you choose from a list.. I take it you click I dont have any of these..

Have you used it with a DDM4000 and is it any good for basic controls..

Thanks

I use dvs so my set up is pretty straight forward. You would need the expansion pack which you can get via the serato shop to use if you are mixing on laptop. Alternatively, you can use the INT mode on pro which allows you to play the music on both decks.


I have used the ddm4000 and the midi mapping with serato. Will take some playing around to find what custom set up works for you. I personally find the knob functions to be too sensitive but you can get round this by mapping 'up' and 'down' with the ddm buttons. I didn't play around with it too much as I currently use innovation dicers which have been discontinued but those are a life saver.
