DDJ-XP1 deck focus indicator bug

Just started to play with the XP1 and the first thing that is a bit confusing is the deck focus indicator in rekordbox. I'm using it with a DDJ-RZ. Start with deck 1/2 being active on the RZ. If you now change the XP1 to target deck 3 rather than deck 1 the blue rectangle in rekordbox shifts to deck 3, but the controls on the RZ are still controlling deck 1. OK, the light on the jogwheel is still blue and the deck 1 indicator on the RZ is showing deck 1, BUT the screen display is indicating that deck 3 is active. This is really bad from a consistency point of view and could lead to performance mistakes. It'd be much better if there was some indication on the screen as to which deck is active for the RZ and which is active for the XP1.

Hi Mike Butler,

Thank you to share your experience with us about the use of DDJ-XP1 in combination with a DDJ Controllers.

The issue you report is important, I can image how confused is to mix live with this inconsistences between the focus of XP1 x controlelr x Rekordbox.

Did you already created an inquire about that problem for Pioneer ? If yes did you got any answer from them ?

I am asking because maybe can be an otpion to buy XP1 to combine with my RZX as well but I will only do it in case we have this type of problem.

Thanks again.
