B-DJ software, works but not perfect!


Installing the B-DJ software that comes with the unit was also straight forward enough, even without reading the installing instructions in the manual provided. Since it's supposed to work 100% (and it does, but read on...), I thought that I'd begin with that software, to make sure the unit does play properly. Voilá. All good on looks so far, presented with a nice 1024 x 768 laout of the software, very much in the BCD2000 skin. I had to try it... reaching for the left jogwheel to emulate scratching, the screen moved in unison! What a great feeling that waiting this long I'd be smashing out the mixes left right and centre. I dropped in via the file manager pane of the B-DJ software (no drag & drop from a desktop / external folder available yet) and started to play... Played the track and scratched it..superb!! Got another track on deck 2 and started to mix the tracks.

Hey man. Your B-DJ software have a problem with BPM stability? I downloaded the B-DJ 1.2 version, but the bug is present again!

Thanks.

Ola , bienevenido in la nosotros comunidade.
La funcion de Bpm no est muy buena, in el BDJ. Tu puede testar el Deckadance por beder la diferencia.
Però in el BDJ se puede usar la funcion <120 Bpm, por las musicas che tiene los bpm sotto el 120 battute por minudos. Esto resolve muy problemas.
Provalo e dirme se esta bien.

Sorry for my espanol !! :-))

Obrigado amigo, sinceramente não gostei muito do deckadance, não sei se é porque usei a versão demo, mas não me agradou muito, eu curto demais o B DJ porque todas as funções estão habilitadas, o que mata é a instabilidade, será que o traktor q será usado no BCD3000 vai rodar no 2000 ???

Yo penso que Native-Instruments estará usando um metodo por usar Traktor somente com BCD3000. Es possible que Behringer pôs una microplaqueta (chip) em bcd3000 tais como feito en bdj que verificam se bcd2000 es alluto (ON)

Mais uma coisa amigo, você que tem mais acesso, por favor manda pra behringer informações sobre esse problema do software, quem sabe não atualizam a versão e resolvem o problema, na minha opinião o problema ocorre por não armazenar a música inteira antes de tocar, como ocorre no Virtual e Traktor, dá essa idéia para eles, eu tentei no site da xylio, mas infelizmente ainda não sei inglês.

Se tiver novidades me manda e-mail por favor ricardo.jus@hotmail.com

Estou divulgando demais esse aparelho aqui na minha cidade, vários amigos estão comprando.

Obrigado

Eu estou usando Deckadance in este momento. Eu sou muito feliz com ele. Trabalha sem nenhum problema. Beringher não responde por email sobre bcd2000, eu penso que a razão és que BCD2000 têm mais problemas. Para seus amigos podia ser uma idea espera boa da bcd3000.

@A-Ben

Hi
To change buttons assign, you need to works on the shortcuts.xml file.
To have loop more instead of back to top you need to change following lines:
shortcut action="decka_back_to_top" key="0" ctrl="no" alt="no" shift="no" midi_ch="-1" midi_note="-1"
(for decka a and b)
This disabling back to top.
After you need to assign loopmore:
shortcut action="decka_loop_more" key="70" ctrl="no" alt="no" shift="no" midi_ch="0" midi_note="4"

You can download my xml file here

@Dobbo

No there isn't any official driver and support to Windows Vista.

In some cases is possible to use it, doing the installation in Windows Xp SP2 mode.
But it's not very stable.

Hello Dj Gas, eu uso o BDJ com o BCD2000, atualmente estava usando a versão1.2 só que as músicas começavam a pular, isso mesmo, como se estivesse tocando com um toca discos e alguém batesse na mesa... já ouviu falar isso?????... e agora voltei a versão 1.0 e está rodando perfeitamente....

@ricardo

Si, é um problema conhecido. A versão 1,2 é menos estável, porque precisamos de mais recursos. Se você quiser usar última versão que você precisa para melhorar a latência.

Yes you can.
To reassign any slider or button you need to change shortcuts.xml file.
You can copy crossfader values to an other button.
It's a good thing if you know how an xml file works.
Let me know.
