3rd Party Controller Quickstart Guide - Pioneer CDJ-400 info not accurate.

DJ TooHypE 12:47 AM - 26 September, 2010
Wanted too advice you I believe the instructions in the ( www.serato.com ) are NOT accurate for the Pioneer CDJ-400 instruction if you view below it refers too the new CDJ-2000 series.

Please verify if the information is correct. Other then that I am a new member of SSL family/friends/peeps/homie's/essay's/em I feel you get the idea by now...

Anyhow my name is Hector Delgado aka DJ TooHypE

Look forward learning my new ( Rane SL3 - www.serato.com ) ( SSL - www.serato.com ) with Pioneer CDJ-400's & ( The Bridge -www.serato.com ) coming soon next!!

Hey DJ TooHypE,

You're right, looks the content got messed up in the 2.1 version :-S

Here is what it should say:

Quote:
Connect your Scratch LIVE hardware as per normal into an available USB port on your computer. Do the same with both of your CDJ400s, connecting each player to separate USB ports. Start Scratch LIVE and set each virtual deck to Internal Mode.

Turn on both CDJ400s, and switch them to USB mode by pressing the button in the top left corner marked USB. You will then be prompted to choose which Scratch LIVE deck you want your CDJ to control. Rotate the “push select” knob to toggle between left and right.

You will now be able to control Scratch LIVE with your CDJ400s.


Thanks for spotting that, we'll get an updated version up soon!

Since I now own the SL4 i'd figured I take a look on the manual for the CDJ-400's it appears it hasn't been updated. I checked the link above.
