So is there an ETA on these updates or did I just waste money on this product. more then half my fixtures won't work. So as of now its an expensive paper weight.

Love Rekordbox. Love Pioneer hardware. Great development and support team, BUT Rekordbox DMX is miles behind Soundswitch right now. I switched from Serato because I feel Pioneer has a better development team and are pushing the envelope much faster than Serato has been in recent years. My one regret is losing Soundswitch. My hope is either Pioneer makes a serious investment in Reokordbox DMX and kicks that product up a few notches in a short time frame or just abandons that effort and allows Soundswitch to fill that space. Make it happen Pioneer!

Ok so its been a few months now has there been any updates towards supporting FX lighting. Also is there a list somewhere of the supported chauvet lights. I would like to finally use the rb dmx-1. also if its not supported is pioneer offering any type of refund since I switched over my whole system from Serato to rekordbox. I bought the ddj-1000 and rb dmx1 because I believed in pioneer. now I'm seeing the true colors of the company.

Sorry, FX-type fixtures are still unsupported with no timeline available for their inclusion due to the wide variety of functions in FX lights from the numerous manufacturers.

As for refunds, you would have to ask your retailer. Sorry.

So I am in the same boat purchase Scorpion Storm FX RGB and with RB-DMX1 and mixer from sweetwater where I was told it was all compatible based on your list. So why include the fixture in your list if it can't be used. That is just poor communication and customer service.

 

So I did find a way to sort of use it please note that it might not work for your lasers.

 

I purchase a DragonX light bar from amazon and I had trouble finding it on the list. However someone had sent in the request to get it added and its under a generic name.

Good bar BTW and it works great with RB-DMX1

Any way it uses DMX channels 1-12 and if I add my Scorpion to the chain on channel 1-12 as a par light I get different affects out of the unit. Its not perfect but at least I can use it. I added a smart power switch to it that I can turn on or off with my iPad to turn off laser if I don't want it on with the rest of the lights.

So basically add Uknown - 4 Bar LED with channels 1-12 and set it as a par light. Then plug your scorpion and set channel to 1-12 and see the affects it does.

 

Hope this helps you

 

Pioneer please be more transparent about this and please add FX lights to this software.

@Jose > If you understood the complexity of the sheer variety of lighting types and the difficulty in creating some kind of system to manage and control their functions, you'd understand why we don't yet have a proper method to control them through the software. Our team is working on it, but we don't yet have a timeline for implementation, and do thank you for your patience.
