Pioneer fucked up. Believe it guy.

01.11.2012		oh believe it, they shipped out bad fw and already admitted they need to fix it, the decks even froze at one of their own booths at BPM. The problem is their engineers are not dj's and they are not properly beta tested so once they are out in the real world with dj's hammering away on them, they see issues occur. I am not sure why you cannot believe this, the same thing happened with the fir 2000mk1, if you need, I have plenty of videos to prove it's a fw issue, same issues using cue points and hot starts on both decks, and tested with friends decks, so I am sure it is not possible that 8 decks are faulty

and it certainly is not a case of "do something wrong and they freeze" unless you consider using a cue points, loops, hot starts and letting an mp3 simply play with MT on, doing something stupid

start watching this video at about 4:00 in, Kissy looks real happy as do we when this happens at gigs:

The mods on the Pio community have stated that a new FW is on the way to deal with these issues, hopefully within a couple of weeks.

fullenglishpint, is right, Has nothing to do with a defective deck, it's the firmware that is a mess which is what the engineers have to fix and push, returning the decks and getting replacements wont fix the problem

01.11.2012		Yeh, it's got pretty ugly over there. BriChi wrote a huge rant about how they don't listen etc, and he was quite justified. Mine have had freezing issues.

It's only some people who use mp3's that are having a few issues. anyone using Wav or Aiff is totally unaffected.
The firmware update was to fix a few other small things - the next update will fix the mp3 problem.

granted I havnt read up on ful specs in regards to fx link with DJM2000/900 but again I assume that with current capabiltiys you would have to firstly press master on selected CDJ, then make another selection somewhere on DJM so that midclock knew that this was the selected channel and tempo for midiclock. A little cumbersome and an error can easily be made if this is the case, however if pioneer had already made provision that via fx link that djm automatically recognised which channel was set to MT then that would be awsome and my original post is irrelevent. If they havnt already implemented this then its something I imagine is easily achieviable in a firmware update.

2, If for example you had the 3 cdj nxs, and you can choose which one is the master, how does the djm know which is master to route to midiclock.

18.09.2012		Just popped into decks and had a play with an aero, which can indeed control tracks off a USB stick with the iPhone as a browser. I'd be amazed if the nexus can't do that. The aero can also act as a client on an existing network, so the fact that it has it's own wifi doesn't necessarily mean that that's the only way to work properly with the iPhone.
Rey Holubar
17.09.2012		Isn't it strange? Pioneer is trying to be more like Traktor and Traktor is trying to be more like pioneer? The two worlds are coming together......

Not 'announced' as such but there were test units out in the field as early as last November as someone I know was involved...

15.09.2012		[QUOTE=Nicky H;529345]Just seen this - you're wrong.
You can plug USB sticks in and use the iPad app - no computer needed:

Damn, dunno how I missed that, I remember one of the first videos of the ipad integration kept mentioning that engine on the laptop needed to be networked to the ipad.

However - not a waveform in sight even on ipad display is disappointing, something I thought the denon had. It appears that browsing music stored on the ipad itself is not available on Engine or Analyzing tracks which would mean everything has to be prepped on the laptop beforehand?

Not in the mood for manuals right now LOL

15.09.2012		Yea maybe that was it, i though he was controlling the usb plugged in from his iPhone wireless.
Alfredo Tooher
15.09.2012		right, I believe i know the video you're talking about, it's about 20 minutes long but he is loading tracks to a deck from the plugged in device, not from a usb or sd card plugged into the other deck, his music is on the iPhone he has plugged in so thats not really what we are trying to accomplish
Marcelene Bielenda
15.09.2012		Hmm, i believe i saw a video with the UK Pio Rep who uses his phone to select songs from the usb plugged in. If it doesn't and the aero does that's a pretty big fail on their part.
Alfredo Tooher
15.09.2012		I havent seen any videos showing it, they show you can load from an iphone/ipad/droid to the deck with the music being on that iphone, but none of them show the iphone browsing another drive plugged into a separate deck, We know the Aero can do it and instructions are in the manual but there is nothing in the 2000nexus manual about this and none of the pio reps will answer the question because they dont know and dont have units to test yet according to them. Just cause the aero can do it doesnt mean the 2000 will, the aero has built in wireless, the 2000 doesnt and needs an external wireless router to use such features "if" they exist

Please post a video of someone doing this if you have seen it in action because I certainly have not found one. Thanks
Marcelene Bielenda
15.09.2012		There are videos showing this, also the xdj-aero can do it so why wouldnt the 2000's

I really love this feature, but i'm afraid that the ipad with nexus can only control the songs that are stored on the i pad. Had this question already asked but nobody seems to have an answer, or i'm just not seeing it.

The Ipad needs to be linked to an psyical computer over wireless to run engine though, not standalone.

You can but only so long as you are connected over wireless to the computer - thats its real limitation and something that I despised on first seeing the engine on ipad ... now I would eed to bring 2 computing devices to a gig rather than just an ipad

12.09.2012		this is amazing for us - believe of the possibilities when you combine it with rekordbox mobile that was announced just a few weeks ago. organising your tunes on the way to your gig or even when you're in the box with the previous DJ anyone? wi-fi your devices together - and play. boom! for us, the pioneer cdj2000-nexus is next level.
