How To Setup Mixxx With Ddj Sb2

Description

based on hrudham's DDJ-SR mapping, with lots of modifications to make it work on the SX2.

use Mixxx v2.0 for this mapping.

Jul 05, 2017 Update Pioneer DDJ-SB2 for new effects and looping UIs in Mixxx 2.1 and fix various other issues. New mappings for autoloop pad layer and effects are documented on the wiki.

A detection window will appear right after, asking to use or not the pre-defined audio setup with the built-in sound card of the DDJ-SB You can still change that from Settings-AUDIO tab. Click on the 'Use Soundcard' button if your speakers are connected to the Master Output of the DDJ-SB Click to OK. Oct 11, 2016 For those who aren't familiar, the DDJ-SB2 has what I gather is kind of an unusual setup: it has 4 decks, but only 2 channels - and just 1 set of controls on each side. And there's a button on the left to switch between decks 1 & 3, and a button on the right to switch between 2 & 4.

How do I use it?

if you just want to get your controller working with Mixxx without bothering about the details much, then do the following:

  1. clone this repository, or download it as a zip.
  2. copy bin/PIONEER_DDJ-SX2.midi.xml and bin/PIONEER_DDJ-SX2-scripts.js to [Mixxx Directory]/controllers. This will probably be one of the following locations:
    • Windows: C:Program FilesMixxxcontrollers
    • Linux: /usr/share/mixxx/controllers or /usr/local/share/mixxx/controllers
    • OS X: /Applications/Mixxx.app/Contents/Resources/controllers/
  3. make sure your Pioneer DDJ-SX2 is plugged in and turned on.
  4. open (or restart) Mixxx, and enjoy using your (almost-fully-functional) controller

Controller Setup

the DDJ-SX2 uses a sysex to go into serato mode, so we trick the controller into 'this is Serato'. no extra setup is involved.

awesome! go to the 'Issues' section, and create an issue.

I want to help.

you can fork this repository, clone it, install this mapping, and modify it using Mixxx and your favorite text editor (don't use Notepad though (unless you're an Insider), it does not recognize LF line endings). then copy the changes back to cloned repo, and commit.
