Lots of Bugs in DDX-SX3

I am very disappointed in the new DDJ-SX3 and regret I purchased it so soon. This controller is nothing like the feel of any of the other existing products like the SR2, SX2 or even the legacy SX.

First the jog wheels do not feel the same and are extremely sensitive in the backspin mode that is long or normal. When scratching in these backspin modes the jog wheel slips very easily. Please make the jog wheels to do the exact same as the SX2 or SR2.

Second thing I noticed is that on the left deck the first cue point that is red does not always register by lighting up. The cue point is there but the pad on the left deck does not light up.

Third thing I noticed is that the overall volumes are not accurate on the unit including the sample volume seems to be lower than the other units. You need your product developers and QA to go back and review these bugs and provide fixes. I have read of other issues but these are the ones affecting me the most.

It has been a few months that this product is out and I feel like I have been short changed on the functionality. And why did you get rid of the panel button on the SX3 makes no sense??

I had a short circuit on my beloved sx2 and had to upgrade to an sx3. And I start to regret this too...

I fully agree on the feel of the jog wheels are way too sensitive (and unreliable) when performing a back spin. (in long or very long mode)

While the SX2 in regards on Jog wheel feel was spot on, the SX3 is just a totally different experience. (and not in a positive way that is.)

It activates a spin when i don't want it all during baby scratches, and doesn't work reliably when I do want a back spin...

Please update this with firmware, and copy the feel of the SX2.

I am glad someone sees this issue with the DDJ SX3 with the sensitive jog wheels in the the long and very long mode. The controller backspins when it is not suppose to with the lightest touch. I miss the feel of my SX and SR2. DJ Eurnie hit the nail on the head with the issues. Pioneer please do something to take care of this problem as it is a definite issue.
