Me after finding out that it is possible for new FX to be added to the X1800 post-release:

But seriously, this is GREAT stuff. By having the X1800’s architecture allow for adding FX (and improving the algorithm of existing ones), it truly sets the bar. One can only imagine what types of goodies are in store for us X1800 users in the future. Big up!

Did you notice how the “HALL ECHO” displays on the mixer screen…

I wonder who that new FX request for the X1800 came from then…

Ha, I should’ve known Double L would have a hand in that. One of the many benefits of having a passionate ambassador who’s truly working in tandem (and hands-on) with the company (and flagship product) they rep rather than blindly shilling something they don’t care about. Bravo.

I’ve got a big problem with the update:

The update has failed because the device can not be accessed. Unplug and replug in the device and click restart. I’ve tried this several times but always the same problem. I’ve done everything as in the manual.

Please help me!!! What can I do because with the installation the original flash is uninstalled at the mixer?

So I can’t use the mixer at this point.

Thnx

Don’t worry.

Check again that you’ve got a USB A to B lead plugged from your computer to USB port 1 (the left hand one) on the top of the mixer.

If your computer has several USB ports (not a USB HUB) try the process with a different USB port on the computer, before beginning the update process again.

Make sure that you’ve followed the instructions which came with the firmware update, including unzipping the files within the downloaded pack.

Thnx Gee

but I’ve already tried another usb port on my windows laptop. I’m using USB A on the mixer. I’ve done everything like the instructions said.

Now I’m trying to restart my laptop and do everything again as said

13

The USB Audio Update (XMOS) may require a few attempts before it is successful. Don’t worry even if it says failed during this step it is non-destructive so, just try again until successful.

14

So I’ve tried it for the 9th time.

On the mixer it says data receiving but on the laptop everytime the message that the device can not be accessed

15

To be fair, that bar was already set with X1600 in 2010 where another FX was added via firmware update.

16

Is it possible that you have skipped a step in the update instructions? The USB Updater portion should have been done first without booting the X1800 into control surface update mode. This requires only powering on the X1800 without any button combinations. Help is on the way just sit tight for a few minutes.

HI djedge,

Can you go into your Device manager and check in the “Sound, video and game controllers” section and tell me if your mixer is listed in there?

Perhaps surprisingly, but I did not have any issues while updating. Connected even to a USB hub. And using more than two other soundcards in the system.

My X1800 unit was 0.06 also and it updated in one go (okay, the two steps to be exact). Windows10 btw, I see you use Windows7. I had to update the X1800 driver first to 1.0.3, but procedure told me to or would not go further.

I think edge may have wiped out the STM and DSP firmware before updating the USB Audio Device (XMOS). Which means that the XMOS cannot be updated until the STM and DSP have been restored.

Luckily, there is a solution. :slight_smile:

To fix this you will need to first update the CONTOL SURFACE (STM/DSP) Firmware.

  1. Connect the X1800 PRIME to your computer via USB 1.
  2. Power on the device while holding BACK + FX CUE + TAP.
  3. Choose OK to start the update.
  4. Next, follow the specific steps below for your OS.

Windows:

  • On your computer go to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Denon DJ\X1800 Firmware Updater\STM32
  • Double click the Denon DJ X1800 Firmware Updater2 application.
  • This will run the Control Surface (DSP/STM) updater application.
  • Follow the on screen instructions to start the update process.
  • Once complete perform a factory reset.
  • Next, run the full X1800 Firmware Updater application again to complete the USB Audio Interface (XMOS) update.
  • Note: Once this completes you can skip the second portion of the update as you’ve already done this above.

Mac:

  • On your computer go to: Applications folder and find Denon DJ X1800 Firmware Updater.app
  • Right-click/control-click on the app and choose Show Package Contents
  • Go to Contents/Applications and launch FirmwareUpdater2.app
  • This will open the Control Surface (DSP/STM) update.
  • Follow the on screen instructions to start the update process.
  • Once complete perform a factory reset.
  • Next, run the full X1800 Firmware Updater application again to complete the USB Audio Interface (XMOS) update.
  • Note: Once this completes you can skip the second portion of the update as you’ve already done this above.

Hope this helps!

Having been on the forum since its relaunch it’s really cool to see how Denon actually listened to their customers (and not just told so) and implemented stuff that has been asked for in here. :+1::+1::+1::+1::+1:

I’m curious if Traktor Scratch support and HID control for the SC5000 will now happen.
