I thought that channels 1/2 were the default for the USBs and software only? Leaving channels 3/4 to be assignable.

Can I put the sampler on channel 3 or 4? With the DDJ Sz I could do that. I had a volume indicator for the sampler.
Sampler is by default assigned to its own output channel - that is the AUX out chans 9,10, as you can see in the default Audio setup and its Master Volume is controlled by the AUX vol knob. You could also use Mixer Channels 3 and 4 too, if you want to sacrifice a software Deck.

Something I can't find is a DECK switch 1/3 and 2/4 as opposed to DDJ-1000. How do you control decks 3 and 4 with VDJ ?
Same as in XDJ-RX2 (and others), the Left/Right Deck switch for software Decks, is done from the Display DECK SELECT 1/3 and 2/4 buttons (offered from the SHORTCUT button). So it's a 2-steps procedure and unfortunately, there is no other way (cant be mapped to any other button to perform this - hardware layers)
FYI, we have prepared a manual for you to read further details http://www.virtualdj.com/manuals/hardware/pioneer/xdjxz.html

Not a controller I ever intend owning but great work from the Atomix team once again.
At least it will be integrated fully unlike the Prime 4

I did see a Youtube video where the DJ shortly pushed the "shift" button twice to switch deck..
Many comments asked how he did that... The reply was that it was a firmware which was not released (yet).
Also a topic at the Pioneer forum: https://forums.pioneerdj.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360055060391-decks-3-and-4-xdj-xz
Youtube video, look at 7minutes 45 seconds at the double tap of the Shift button and see the Deck 4 lit up on the CDJ jogwheel...: https://youtu.be/l9JxTFzywp8

A new firmware will indeed come along with Serato support, so let's see what changes will bring that.
At the moment,
- the SHIFT button doesnt send any MIDI (so cant be mapped as .. shift) and of course not working like the video above.
- none of the buttons/faders send different MIDI when SHIFT is pressed, except the Pads, Pad mode buttons and Jog
- You cant use the SHIFT as mapping modifier (so cant map as .. shift ? dothis : dothat)

Really good work Atomix! You are fantastic! Thanks for posting the manual, already.
I must admit I am a little (quite much) bit interested in this unit. :)

That's why I believe vdj keeps in front of the competition!

Exactly. And that is even before Serato.
Thumbs up!

djdad - can you confirm that we will be able to use 4 decks on this unit simultaneously? using all 4 channels of the unit?

Yes, and also confirm internal effects can be used together with software as opposed to DDJ-1000

Pretty sure it mentions here that it can - http://www.virtualdj.com/manuals/hardware/pioneer/xdjxz/layout/mixer.html - well i really hope so anyway
So close to purchasing this unit to upgrade from my RX so want to make sure it ticks all the boxes for me.
Regardless we gotta hand it to Atomix for getting the XZ supported so quickly, just another reminder why i never bother with using any other DJ software

Well done VDJ Team...Can we get a release date please?
Posté Thu 06 Feb 20 @ 10:13 am
I read a bit on Pioneer forums regarding freezes of the XDJ-XZ, which as usual cannot be explained. If it's regarding Rekordbox or firmware internal.
I will hold my horses and keep on use my DDJ-1000. We'll see how it turns out.

Anyone able to try out the XDJ-XZ yet? Is it stable? Appreciate any feedback. I am ’half’ considering the unit for a future purchase.
@DjDad / @Phantom how is your impressions with the unit during mapping?
