The club I work at on a Saturday has a pioneer djm 800 and I want to midi map the faders to video
I have a midi to usb cable which lights up but I can get the mixer to map to serato
I havent had time to experiment as I dont have a djm 800 at home but before I return on Saturday could anyone give some advice?
I am running the dicers via a hub and the djm800 will also go in to this.
Is it a problem running 2 different midi devices?
Anyone encountered this prob or could it be a problem with the mixer, my cable etc. I currently just use the arrow keys on the keyboard to mix between vids
Will give it a go.
My problem being is that as I use a 13" MBP i only have 2 usb ports
1 is for the sl3 and then my video output converter is usb powered, and i ideally want the mixer mapped and the dicers.
So as the sl3 uses one i only have 1 left and want 3 items plugged in to it
At least if i try mapping the mixer I will know what the problem is if it works and I will just go back to using the curser keys
This is the same setup I use, except with a 15in. You can run both the 800 and Dicers through a single hub. This is the hub I use -->www.officedepot.com and it seems to work pretty well.
As Shaun said though, do your midi mapping on the 800 with the Dicers off.
Im using a powered Belkin hub so should be fine then.
So just to confirm as in the dicer manual it says to connect the dicers then start SL. Can I map the faders, then close SL, plug in the dicers, restart SL and hopefully i could be working
Certain hubs, powered or not, sometimes (for whatever reason) don't properly work when used with multiple MIDI devices. If you continue to experience the issue, definitely try a different hub :)
As an additional question My Friday residency have just upgraded to the DJM900 nexus (from a mixer that didnt have midi). Should i be ok to midi map the faders from that just using the usb out from the mixer or would you recommend using the midi out port with a midi to usb cable. I wont get to try it until Friday and Im always running late to that gig!!
Sorry that im moving away from the original question and Serato's remit
