Does this thing not beat sync stuff? Because the sync button isnt working worth a damn. All it does is change the bpm to match the other track. How does the beat corrector thing work? You hit it and it does nothing. Help Pulse!

WannaB, just so we're on the same page, there's a difference between beat-sync and auto-mix. (We'll ignore auto-mix because that's a lot more involved.)

First you have to ensure that the DJS does in fact have the correct BPM. Sometimes you'll have to tap it in just to be sure, but most of the time it's fairly bang-on.

That little beat corrector thing works ONLY to detect the DOWNbeat. You press the big circle ONCE when it's on the 1 count (1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2...). You can do this for each track, setting the beat. The purpose of the indicator is to show you when there's a downbeat.

Start a track playing and set its beat with the indicator / corrector.

Start another track playing and set its beat with the indicator / corrector, then hit the SYNC button. Press the cue button and when the other track is on a downbeat, press the play button. It should now be in sync and the indicators should match.

If they start to slide, chances are the measured BPM is slightly off.

How do I get the effects to work in external mixer mode?
They seem to vanish. (I know the same thing is on the DJM-500)

I tried hooking up 2 555's can't get it to work with DJS. Any suggestions?
Just being greedy. I guess I don't need 4 turntables. It won't work right with the DJM-500 anyway cause you really only get 3 line inputs. I use them all for DJS A/B/List.

Eddie, for now, the effects only work in internal mode. I had pointed this out to the engineers and hopefully it will be put back in for "external" mode in the future.

I haven't tried connecting two DMPs yet (I only have one), but according to the manual all you have to do is the same thing for one - they will show PC Control on the display, one will light up the CD, the other, CARD. CD = player 1, CARD = player 2. If you press the unlit button on either player, they will switch control.

Can you get a single DMP to work?

I use all 3 outputs (A/B/List) as well - I really love the list player feature!

Pulse sent you a demo track of the bunch that where not importing!

Enforcer, I think I found the problem with this MP3 - it's encoded with LAME v3.92, a very buggy version of the encoder. I cross-coded it with a 3.96 version of the encoder and it imported just fine. Use an application such as Easy CD-DA Extractor to cross-code.

Even the CDJ200 had an issue with that version. I'll email the engineers and let them know that it's causing trouble here too.
