The current mapping for Mixxx allows it to control 2 decks and video controls are not supported. The mapping was created as close as possible as the original mapping. + +- `Manufacturer’s product page `__ +- `Forum thread `__ +- `GitHub pull request `__ + +.. versionadded:: 2.4 + +Drivers +------- + +Windows +~~~~~~~ + +Windows 10, Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 are supported. You can download the latest drivers and firmware from http://www.pioneerdj.com/en/support/software/ddj-ergo. + +Mac OS X & Linux +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +You don’t need any drivers on Mac OS X and Linux. + +The controller supports Mac OS X 10.14 and up. + +Usage +----- + +Audio configuration +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Configure channels 1-2 for main output and channels 3-4 for headphones. An input is provided and shared between Mic and Aux. This input is mixed in software and needs to be configured with channels 1-2. + +Library browsing +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The controls for library browsing can be found in the center top of the controller. + +=========================== =================================================================================================================================================== +Control Function +=========================== =================================================================================================================================================== +Rotary knob Track selection +Load buttons Loads currently highlighted track to the corresponding deck +Pushing rotary knob Switch between directories and files +Shift + rotary knob Sidebar section open and close directories +Shift + pushing rotary knob toggle expanding library section +=========================== =================================================================================================================================================== + +Switching between decks +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Click the dedicated buttons on the top of the controller, labeled with A-B-C-D. Currently only decks A and B are mapped. + +Volume, equalizers & filters +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Between the decks the usual faders, crossfader and EQ knobs can be found. A filter knob is also available. + +Knobs are available for the master and headphones level. These are functional and interact directly with Mixxx. + +Jogwheels, tempo & vinyl mode +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +When a deck is paused, the jogwheel allows you to browse through a track. If you want to browse faster, hold shift while using the jogwheel. + +When a deck is playing, using the jogwheel allows you to temporarily change the tempo of the playing track. + +The tempo slider allows changing the tempo of each deck. This normally changes the pitch of a track, you can make the pitch stay constant by pressing the “key lock / tempo range” button. + +Vinyl mode makes the jogwheels emulate the way turntables work. Vinyl mode can be toggled by pressing the “vinyl / pulse mode” button. Touching the outer plastic ring of the jogwheel will make it behave as +with vinyl mode off. Touching the disc simulates touching the vinyl record, so just putting your hand on it will stop the “vinyl”. You can scratch in a similar way as with turntables in vinyl +mode. + +Hot Cues and Samplers +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Over the jogwheels there are sections allowing to control hot cues and samples. + +============================== =================================================================================================================================================== +Control Function +============================== =================================================================================================================================================== +Hot Cue 1-4 Set hot cue on first push, go to hot cue and play on next pushes +Samplers Play/stop sample +Shift + Hot Cue 1-4 Delete hot cue +Shift + Samplers Go to start and play sample +Sample Vol Knob Rotate Adjust volume of the last sample played +Sample Vol Knob Push Play/stop last sample played +Shift + Sample Vol Knob Rotate Select sample to control with the knob +Shift + Sample Vol Knob Push View/hide samplers +============================== =================================================================================================================================================== + +FX - FX1/FX2 +~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Over the samplers there are sections allowing to control effects. + +============================== =================================================================================================================================================== +Control Function +============================== =================================================================================================================================================== +FX 1-2 Toggle on/off effects in slots 1 or 2 accordingly +FX ON Turn on/off selected effect +FX1/2 1-3 buttons Select which effect slot to manipulate +Control Select effect in corresponding slot +FX1/2 1 knob Manipulate meta knob for the selected effect slot +FX1/2 2-3 knobs Not mapped +============================== =================================================================================================================================================== + +Pulse Mode +~~~~~~~~~~ + +Pulse Mode can be activated by holding shift + “vinyl / pulse mode” button. +This mode displays blue lights on the jogwheel.
