Hi,
I love my DJCONTROL MIX ULTRA and use it over my DDJ-FLX4 and DDJ-SX, but there are couple of improvements that would make it even better :
- When selecting the secondary pad modes (pitch play, bounce loop, slicer and sampler), the modes do not get selected if the "shift" button is released before the pad button.
This is annoying because it make quick selection a hit and miss, and I use those pads (remapped for beat jump), every single time I dj.
I hope Hercules can release a firmware update imprving this.
THANKS !!!
@svolto I really like your suggestion; I'll keep an eye on what others have to say about it.
Hello,
It is not firmware related, it is just the way the controller is mapped in DJ apps, and that is the standard way.
If you want to set a pad mode as fast as possible, you should remap it in the DJ app and assign the pad mode to a primary key (no shift), as mapping a function on a secondary mode (with shift) is by design slower.
When using Shift+ key X:
- You press first Shift then key X (if you did to the other way, press key X first and shift afterwards, then key X would have to way to its primary command to know whether you will or not press shit)
- Shift + Key X pressed down send a MIDI Note On command
- Then you release Key X
- Then you release Shift, and the controller sends a MIDI Note Off command => the app sends the function
=> It is the normal and intuitive way, sending the MIDI Note Off command before you release the shift is not intuitive (I tested it, it feels defective).
