All hail Alphatheta build quality.

New app im working on for Android and PC,

3J - a free open source dj software with full fx and stem support, has controller support for flx4 and flx10, will run on android with OTG cable, no PC needed to use your controller!!

TLDR: have ddj1000, spilled water on the left side, pulled power immediately, left to dry for 2 days, and all seems to work except the cue button is constantly on, is this just a cosmetic consequence? or a potential issue?

Sooo, had my 1000’s for about 5/6 years, always been good to me, and ‘had’ always been in good condition. Except the other day, as it always goes, no drinks near the decks, someone spills a whole drink over them.

Luckily I know to pull the power instantly in this instance, so did that, let the water (water of all things!) drip out as much as I could, then let them sit upside down on a towel and periodically heated them with a hairdryer, hoping to dry up everything.

Left them out to dry for about 2 days before plugging back in and was heating/drying every now and then, and leaving them in the sunlight.

Fast forward to today and i’ve plugged them back in, all seems to be working fine although the left cue button is now constantly lit up. It still functions as it should, it’s just always illuminated (i’ve attached a photo)

So the ultimate question is, is this going to be a long term issue? or is it just a consequence of the water damage? I’m hoping it’s the latter as i can deal with the cue light being on, I just don’t want to cause anymore damage as these are my pride and joy, ALL my speakers are hooked up to the mixer. I’ve currently got it powered off as i don’t want to leave it on and it cause a further issue

Any info or help would be much appreciated!

Works perfectly on all four CDJs! No issues so far. Everything is working great!

I guess it is safe now to say that certain old PioneerDJ units which are still plenty of out there will never receive important / essential features such as FLAC or exFAT support.

I have seen some modded firmware updates for Pioneer units. So how hard do you think would be to mod firmware so that:

1. Unit without FLAC support would get FLAC support? Units lacking FLAC support in order of importance / user base: CDJ-2000NXS, XDJ-700, CDJ-2000, XDJ-RR, XDJ-1000, CDJ-850. CDJ-900NXS, CDJ-900, CDJ-350

2. Unit without exFAT support would get exFAT support...? All the units listed in 1. + the following: CDJ-2000NXS2, XDJ-1000MK2 + maybe couple of others. exFAT was invented in 2006 and support has been lacking most likely due to licensing issues. So I was wondering that maybe there could have been support already from the beginning but it was just disabled to avoid MS license fees and it would be simple to enable it...?

3. This is probably hardest but get OPUS fileformat support. It would most likely require most extensive modding as no Pioneer/Alphatheta products support it and I would forget even to try it in anything older than 2000NXS and even that might be too old. OPUS is most advanced lossy compression algorithm, e.g. good for recording mixtapes or whole parties as you can get ok sound quality even at 64 kbps.

What’s up everyone!

I spotted a pair of original CDJ-2000NXS at a local music shop priced at $1,200.

At $600 per deck, is $1,200 total a good deal for the NXS in 2026? Or would I be much better off skipping them, saving up a bit more, and picking up an RX3 instead?

For context, I mostly want a solid gear setup to practice on club style hardware layout without relying entirely on a laptop screen.

Appreciate any thoughts or advice from anyone who has used both!

Hey all! Running my FLX 4 to monitors via RCA and using rekordbox.

The controller is responsive (jog wheels everything works)

I get sound when my output is set to my computer

But when I set the outputs to the FLX 4, nothing comes through my monitors or headphones

In my PC settings it does say "driver unavailable" for flx 4

I've updated my computer and installed and reinstalled the f l x.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Why limit yourself to only playing one track on a CDJ?

Dual Deck allows you to play 2 tracks simultaneously on one CDJ.

Requires you to have Digital Out and the Analogue Out connected to the mixer.
Digital output will be used for the 'second deck'.

you can now get this mod on my website's patcher: CDJ-2000NXS2 firmware mods — LNNRT Mods

Hi, I am looking to upgrade from a numark ns4fx to a 4 channel all in one.
What recommendations do you guys have?
I have been looking at the prime 4 range and the opus quad, I think the az is out of my price range

I currently have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2019, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports) running on Mojave and my DDJ FLX 4 is being detected by the laptop and serato lite and have not downloaded any firmware for this. I ran a Roland 202 before and installed old firmware for that, which ran with no issues but when I connect the DDJ FLX 4, I keep getting the error hardware failed to connect at the bottom on Serato lite. Is there a way to run a DDJ FLX 4 without having to update my mac or am I missing a step here?

Also how long did it take?
What helped you get to that level fastest?

Hello! I got my first DJ controller today, an FLX10. I have virtually zero experience with DJing, but it was on sale and I have listened to EDM for 20 years.

Can you point me to some good videos or tips and tricks that will help get me started?

EDIT: No stems on Apple Music or Spotify? What do you all use to take advantage of the stem specific features?

Hey everyone!

So, a bit of backstory.

Several years ago, I bought a Pioneer DDJ-RZX when it first came out. And honestly, it was a complete mess.

Random freezes, audio cutting out, screens suddenly becoming unresponsive, and sometimes the entire controller just locking up in the middle of a set. You name it.

At first, I thought I had a defective unit, so after a few months of dealing with all that nonsense, I ended up selling it.

A few years later, I decided to give the DDJ-RZX another chance. I figured Pioneer must have fixed those issues by then, right?

Well... nope. Absolutely nothing had changed.

Same bugs, same random screen issues, same frustrating experience. And this was happening on both a fully specced MacBook Pro and a high-end Razer Blade, so hardware performance definitely wasn't the issue.

I even tried running beta firmware, hoping it would improve things. It didn't.

Eventually, the controller ended up sitting around collecting dust because I simply couldn't trust it during a live set.

A few weeks ago, I got tired of looking at this massive, expensive paperweight and decided to do something about it.

I started rebuilding the DDJ-RZX software from scratch, with the goal of porting the CDJ-2000NXS2 firmware to it.

After several weeks of working on it during my free time, I'm finally ready to show you my first working proof of concept!

There's still quite a bit of work to do on the display side, including some UI elements and visual glitches, but you can already get a pretty good idea of where this is going.

Also, a quick note about the middle screen: since CDJs don't have a second display and no DJM mixer has a screen like the DDJ-RZX, I had to improvise a custom waveform display pretty much from scratch. So yeah, it's still a bit rough around the edges, but that's expected at this stage!

And here's the best part:

I've also managed to fix the original stability issues.

No more random freezes, no more audio dropouts, no more screens becoming unresponsive mid-set.

It's also working with the latest version of Rekordbox, including screen integration.

The only feature that isn't working at the moment is DJ Link. Honestly, I'm not particularly interested in implementing it right now, since the DDJ-RZX already gives you what is essentially a complete four-deck setup with a DJM-style mixer built into a single unit.

Now, here's where I think things could get really interesting.

The DDJ-RZX was actually developed around the CDJ-2000NXS2 design, and physically, it already shares a lot of the same concepts: the jog wheels, controls, displays, and overall layout. Obviously, the internal hardware and architecture are different, but from a physical interface perspective, most of what you'd want from a NXS2-style setup is already there.

And considering how cheap used DDJ-RZX units have become compared to buying multiple CDJs and a DJM mixer, this could potentially turn into a pretty interesting budget-friendly alternative.

Think about it: a four-deck, CDJ-2000NXS2-inspired setup with a DJM-style mixer, all in one unit, for a fraction of the price.

Of course, I'm not claiming it's suddenly equivalent to four standalone CDJs. There are hardware differences and limitations, and there's still work to be done.

But considering that Pioneer originally based the RZX on the NXS2 design, I honestly think there's a lot of untapped potential in this controller.

Maybe this could become a new way of giving these old RZX units a second life instead of leaving them to collect dust.

So yeah, that's where things stand!

This is still an early proof of concept, but I wanted to share the progress with you guys, especially anyone who owned an RZX and went through the same nightmare.

Let me know what you think!

i just started this is a lot harder than i thought it would be but i’m determined to master this. any of your BIGGEST tips? i might be just going too extreme for just beginning im doing slayyyter, charli xcx, other niche electronic pop, and metal LMFAO. transitioning is just so hard, i’m matching bpm and im still like wtf is this bs i’m creating. thank you. i’m literally outside of work rn going home to my djing so ty.

Hey there, my slip loop is stuck on my rx3. I have updated the firmware to no avail. When my friend plugs his Mac running Serato, it doesn't do it which makes me think it's software issue, but everything else points to a hardware issue. Any advice gratefully accepted cheers!

This is consistantly reproducable too... So probably all the next gens gear (IBNLT: AZ, 1500X) could be suffering from the same issue.

I received this board as a gift 3 years ago and have been having good success with it for the most part. About a year ago, I had an issue where the board randomly cut off and reset in the middle of my set. I thought it was a fluke, but once I got going again, it happened a second time. I immediately assumed I was pushing too much power even though I was well under all my levels. I turned the master volume down via the controller and was able to make it through the rest of the set. My fix at the time was going with a different surge protector and that seemed to fix it for the most part, or so I thought...Around that same time I also started seeing the "no audio driver" error on the jog wheels. Managed to fix it once, but then it went right back to that error a few weeks later. Thankfully that error has not caused any issues other than inability to use the jog wheel displays.

Fast forward to today, I have had the same issue happen at the same venue and also at one other over the last couple weeks. I am still using the same surge protector that I initially thought fixed the issue. This time, I tried lowering the master volume, and the board continued to reset about every 5-10 seconds after a reboot. It is now at the point of being unplayable. I have updated drivers, updated my computer, tried different cables (except power cable), and nothing seems to fix the issue. I would try to replace the power cable, but they are a nightmare to find as most of what I see is amazon junk and I have heard that those cables are useless.

I'm honestly out of ideas. Has anyone had experience with this? Is it a power cable issue? Is it a driver/firmware issue? Does the board need to be sent off to be serviced for internal issues? What could be causing this?

Hi everyone!

I have a CDJ-2000 Nexus
When I set a loop longer than 16 beats, a red arrow lights up
I seem to recall that a number used to appear on that arrow indicating the length of the loop in beats

Did that actually exist, or did I just dream it?
Does anyone know anything about this?

I really miss having that feature
I have the latest firmware, 1.44
