DDJ-RR - Set Beat Jump Pad Defaults

Hi there,

Just wondering if it's possible to do two things:

1) Make it so that the fourth pad mode on the DDJ-RR defaults to Beat Jump and not Sampler so that you don't have to select from the software manually each time.

2) If you can set which specific Beat Jump amount is displayed/actived by default. (ie. 16 bars not 4.)

In essence what I'm hoping to achieve is to be able to open Rekord Box DJ, turn on my DDJ-RR, press what currently reads "sampler but have it activate "beat jump" and have the pads automatically control settings that are currently further along in the menu without having to adjust anything manually.

Thanks for your help!

You can do the first, but not the second...

If you wanted to use the SAMPLER mode button to call the BEAT JUMP function instead, first you need to remove the mappings for SamplerMode for decks 1-4 from the SAMPLER tab on the MIDI settings (both IN and OUT) here's what they default to:

SamplerMode 1: 9022
SamplerMode 2: 9122
SamplerMode 3: 9222
SamplerMode 4: 9322

Next, go back to the PAD tab and find the four BeatJumpMode entries (you can sort by clicking the column header) and change them to match the 4 above, again, both IN and OUT.

In order to have the 8 pads now send the correct function to the BEAT JUMP and not the SAMPLER, you need to remove the mappings for all the Sampler Play functions (or if you never use the sampler - delete them, it's probably faster).

You'll have to enter the MIDI IN/OUT data for each of the BeatJump Pad functions on the PAD tab, there are 8 pads x 4 decks, so each of the 32 pads can be programmed. Either note the values from the Sampler page before you delete them, or use the LEARN function (be sure to change the deck control where appropriate).

As for changing which jump appears as default, no, you can't change which values each pad sends as the pad buttons simply activate whichever pad set is currently loaded (even in the background). The default beat-jump page is 5 (loading 1 / 2 / 4 / 8 beats), and you can't have it default to another page or customize the beat jump pages. Hopefully in a future version!

Is it possible now ? I find it frustrating to modify these settings every time I start rekordbox, I'd like to make another page the default page. Or activate the sync by default would be useful, thanks
