[SOLVED] DDJ ERGO Traktor Mapping

@Gregory Van Damme > As Pulse mentioned, he has his ERGO hooked up with VDJ LE on Windows. I was testing it out and it was great for multiple hours of use with no problems at all. It's a cool controller when you get it going!

@Foster > I will test it today on an other PC, I will write the results tomorrow

Thanks,

Gregory

The controller works fine with virtual dj but i prefer to use it in traktor.I have updated the firmware and have imported the tsi file running on a pc,traktor 2.11 everything works but for the audio devices as the sound continues to come out my laptop only,there not much routing going on like there is in virtual dj and the cue for the headphones have no sound coming through either.If i cant get this working by end of the week ill send it back and might try the stanton or s2 as i dont really want to be using vitual dj. 

I honestly have no idea what you guys are doing that it's not working first time out when you follow the instructions.

• With the included version of VirtualDJ LE the audio device was configured on first launch and the mappings were set automatically.

• Not once have I had the audio cut out in either VirtualDJ or Traktor, each used for 2-3 hours at a go.

• The mapping files for Traktor were imported and everything worked right out of the gate after I set the output audio configuration to the right places.  All faders and buttons worked as expected. 

If something isn't working and you have used the software before, there's always the possibility that you had a configuration or other settings that are overriding the new installation causing troubles for you.  Read the setup guides and manual if you get stuck and failing that, try uninstalling and reinstalling the latest versions.

Can u explain how to set the output configuration right as there is no sound coming from the cue headphones or sounds from the ergo but laptop only?

@Steve > The outputs are labeled "MASTER" and "HEADPHONE".

Looks like I'll be making a couple of videos today...

I'm testing traktor and it looks everythng is working fine except scratch...

How Can I make it work ?

Using - MaxOsX snow leopard 10.6.8 / Traktor Scrtch Pro 2.0.3

@Altug > As noted on the ERGO page, you require Traktor 2.1.1 and an update to the ERGO firmware.

2.1.1 since it is unstable for many users, to wait for 2.1.2 or try remap jog in 2.0.3, version 2.1.1 has a different set midi jog wheel

i did post a tsi file for traktor with the ergo  so all sound outputs where configured out the box as they say but the post was taken down ??? why i dont know .. if your new to traktor it can be a pain to understand inputs and outputs if you want file let me know a... 

i have sound coming out now but keep getting a popping sound?i dont know which settings to use to if somebody can help that would be great ;) ergo asio or errgo shared?and which channels for headphones and master?

and im new to the laptop dj world lol

@neil > Your TSI file was removed because Pioneer has officially released a TSI file for the ERGO and we will only support its use under Traktor 2.1.1 or newer.

@Steve Sinners > If you are using Traktor, you should adjust the soundcard latency higher until it stops.

so which one is the cue headphone? and is it the ergo asio device?

if you want the this official  TSI revised for Traktor 2 2.0.3, I can send it

@Azu > Sorry but Pioneer will only support the DDJ-ERGO running on Traktor 2.1.1 or higher.

Note: Any issues or proplems that occur from using Traktor 2.0.3 and/or using a file not provided by Pioneer, does not leave Pioneer responsible. Therefore it cannot be provided by or associated with these forums.

Thanks,

Foster 

My TSI modifies original TSI to work in 2.0.3

@Azu > It's not approved by Pioneer and therefore cannot be on these forums.

Thanks,

Hi Pulse,

Can you please say why Itch will not be supported? How about Serato DJ Into? 

Whats your beef yo? lol but serious what's the problem?

@Dean Curtis > I know you asked for Pulse but I hope my response is okay. The DDJ-ERGO is not supported with Serato ITCH because Serato has a contract with another company at this time and cannot support it. Pioneer is looking to see when the contract ends and hopes to gain it's compatibility in the future.

Thanks,

Foster

Close...

ERGO doesn't support ITCH because ITCH requires certified hardware in order for the software to operate. The DDJ-S1 is an ITCH controller. As for INTRO, Serato has not yet announced which controllers will be supported, which means we may well see it as an INTRO device, but it's not currently on their supported device list.

Thanks Pulse. I shouldn't have said anything, but I thought that's what I heard last week... Really? I don't think I was close at all now that you cleared it up. lol

Fingers crossed though!

So have u done a video yet pulse?and to make things 100% clearer for us newbies any chance some one can explain which channels u need to start Traktor as its dead simple with virtual dj?

See here.

Hey Foster & Pulse,

Thanks for the response, sorry for my slow reply. Thats really exciting it may be licensed to DJ Intro in the near future. 

Here's my opinion, for what it's worth. I don't see it just being added to the list, because how then will they make money? They presumably collect a licence fee from the sale of each piece of hardware. I'm guessing that the term "certified hardware" simply means that that controller company is the one buying the software and indirectly passing it on to the consumer. 

I already have an Ergo (I won it) so there would be no way for Serato to collect a fee from me. I personally feel that Virtual DJ LE is perhaps not a good introduction into DJ software. It doesn't look, sound or feel as good as the others.

I'm used to using 2000s, 900, with scratch live but have used my friends VCI-300 a lot and thats only $100 more than the Ergo. With the VCI you can use Itch, Traktor, or Virtual DJ.

I duno, I guess I'm just having a moan out loud because I want to use Serato both at work and at home. I do really love Pioneer products and I'm happy to see them entering this end of the market too but what is up with this Virtual DJ LE partnership lol.

Fingers very firmly crossed for a DJ Intro announcement. I know it's a Serato thing so you probably don't know, but when do you think they will tell us (if at all)?

@Dean > My view on the business model for Intro is that they give it to users for free, for use with whatever MIDI controller they currently have in hopes that those users will get hooked on the software but desire some of the features only available in Itch or Scratch Live, and thus pay to upgrade.  It's the old drug-dealer strategy... "The first hit's free!"  ;)

Virtual DJ is a very capable software and has some fantastic features (moreso in the Pro version than LE), but it certainly is a beginner-friendly software, just as much as Itch or Traktor is.

And no, we won't have any timeline info for the potential release of Intro for the ERGO until it happens.

@Pulse> Ah wow, so there is some genuine hope to be had. I just posted on a Serato forum asking about it, I'll update this thread, for people who are interested, if anyone from Serato answers with any info.

From Serato Intro is nowhere to update, because there is no higher level software. Itch and Scratch Live does not support controllers that are in the Intro. Intro is licensed to manufacturers controllers.

From what I understand, there is NO licensing; Serato is releasing it as an open software, provided they implement support for the controller... as Dean points out, he already owns a MIDI controller, Serato will give him the software for free.
