When I move the pitch slider or fx slider the track on the left deck (master)jumps back to the start. This sometimes occurres on the right deck but not as frequently.
I had this issue on Itch but it is more prevalent in DJ.
I have a small library fully analysed, latest drivers, MacBook Pro i7. 2.6, 8gb ram, osx mountain lion.

Yup happens on my setup usually when i change the pitch on the slave deck it causes the master deck to jump back to the beginning even with slip mode on or when it's not playing. It also jumps to the end too. I did have this problem in itch. But it's more frequent in sdj as you said.

Hey MarcJ,

Thanks for getting in touch with us. This is strange that this is occurring:

- How often does this occur? Does it occur after a specific period of time?

- Does this issue occur with specific files?

- When you are moving the FX slider and this issue occurs, what FX are you using? Does it only happen with this particular FX?

- Any chance you could make a video of this issue occurring? I'll do some testing on this issue myself as well!

Cheers

This has been happening to me since the early days of itch. I saw a thread that mentioned disconnecting the strip search bar. I disconnected it and haven't had the issue since. It's a little extreme for a solution, and you have to reconnect the strip search to re-calibrate, but I never used the strip search anyway so it worked for me. You can get to the strip search ribbon cable if you unscrew all of the screws on the bottom. Just be careful because the 4 screws around the motor are a different threading than the other screws and set the unit upside down on a pillow or something soft if you decide to pull the cable.

Somehow, the strip search goes bad and starts throwing out midi signals at random (I checked mine with MidiMonitor). Mine would jump to the beginning without either of my 2 V7s being touched. I wish there was a way to disable strip search from the software but until then pulling the ribbon cable works for me.

i had the same problem all this week getting ready for my gig and yup it happened during my gig.
It happened like 3 or 4 different times, track will be playing on one deck and while I'm on other deck, it jumps back to the beginning of the song.one good thing was that it was a least on beat!!!!! so no one really picked it up
i don't use the strip {slider} ever


MAK T - can't really video the problem, because it just happens out of no where

Hello, I am having the same problem, the track on DECK A, is jumping over the least 60% of range, preventing the normal execution.

- It is taking place both in YOSEMITE system as the WINDOWS 10.
- Is also occurring with any track, analyzed or not.
- Since I disabled the SEARCH sensor, but not resolved.
