Just got an update on my Sc5000M 2.0.2 and installed it. Works fine for about an hour of play. No freezing on any decks. Lets see how it goes live though.
I’ve also noticed this, but it actually seems to be a bit worse with this version. Also pressing cue from play (on the deck I’m about to mix in) seems to occasionally make the other deck jump a little. Very erratic but def has to do with sync. Scrubbing (scratching) on the 1st beat of a track & let it go on beat of the other track seems to cause a strange reaction.
Great news. Well done on sorting so quickly.
Definitely not jumping back in this time though, will hold off and wait and hear what people say after I spent 9 hours going back to 1.6
So first replication : prime 4 on 2 decks position. Deck 2, file Chic Le freak Dj S remix.flac 118,3 bpm. Playing Chic on deck 2, pitch at 0. Charging deck 1 with George Duke Reach out Dj S remix.flac 112,6 bpm. Play on deck 1 and put sync on, on deck 1. Deck 1 synchronise with deck 2. Mixing both tracks. Fader down on deck 2 (Chic). Cue on deck 2 to stop track, deck one with George Duke instantly jumps. I will try with 3 and 4 but good chances to be the same. Sync mode in on “bar” and “show sync lead button” position doesn’t change anything. “Always show sync lead button” is on. I’ve been able to reproduce it ten times the same
Well after playing a set for 2hours and letting my 2 SC5000M’s sit connected to the X1800. I hate to say that one SC5000M froze again with this 2.0.2 update. I was not able to use the touchscreen, buttons, or anything. I had to hold the power button down until the unit rebooted. Once this was done I turned the unit off and back on. So in general it’s still a bug in this release of Engine DJ 2.0.
I also would like to add I tried installing the OS several times (Web, USB, and Computer) modes. “NO LUCK”
Yes I have 2 SAMSUNG MUF-256AB/AM FIT Plus 256GB - 400MB/s USB 3.1 Flash Drive one in each player. I’m only having an issue with one player. If I downgrade that player to 1.6 there is no issues of freezing.
I noticed the sync jump issue from 2.0.0 - before 2.0.1 but couldn’t really explain it or figure out what was happening.
Prime 4 - 4 decks on.
In a nut shell, the sync function is broken & has been since 2.0.0. It really is a random issue but it definitely exists & the developers really need to figure it out because whether or not it’s by design (variable beat grids), it is not okay for a live track to jump to a different BPM.
I’m sure the issue is stemming from the sync lead deck but the fact is, in the real world of fast mixing & using 4 decks, you can lose sight of the sync lead deck. Sometimes I have seconds to cue up & the whole point of sync is for situations like this. If it was just simple 2 track play, I’d beat match but for fast & creative mash up sets, the new sync function isn’t any good. IMO, Denon tried to fix an issue which wasn’t broken.
Hm, this jumping Bug does not Sound nice. Can someone tell me whether the effects are now working properly again, especially the bug with the auto gate
I’ll answer myself. No, effect Bug is still there. After 30 minutes 2.0.2 back to 1.6.x.
It can take a while until everything is going well so far. Feels like 2 bugs removed, a new one added. Too bad. In my case, the preview function for streaming would be enough for me to be happy. Denon, is there a way to get a 1.6.3 just with this feature extended? Smile …
