I'm happy to be the example of a poor commenter too.

was only a thought - as i know i can select the midi channel that my djm101 uses. it's set on mine via a small selector on the side. i have mine set to minimum which is midi channel one. i presume your controller uses channels 1 thru 4 in that case whereas if u had it set to 2 then it would use channels 2 thru 5 etc...

not sure if its for tp2 or not but most of the controls open in xtreme mapping ok. do the controls work as expected and just not the led feedback? i see a lot of OUT's in the mapping as well as IN's. the doc says you can configure the midi channels on the device but they'll need to be set to default i presume for the mapping to work. the mapping seems to use midi channel 1 for decks A+B and channel 2 for C+D. there's also just a few controls using channels 3+4.

if the IN's are working with that tsi tho then the OUT's should be too, unless there's some issue with your actual controller.

i have the dj tech djm101 and i actually quite like it... it only has 2 led's tho that use midi notes 80 and 81 on midi channel 1 to make them light up.

DJ Tech have become a major player and their gear has gotten more reliable, not to mention their CS. Hit them up... If it's under warranty you should be fine.

What have you done to make it work so far - Normally you'd need to select your controller within the software and load a map.
You're a good sport.

I owned that controller for about 2 months when it first came out I thought it would be good to have for impromptu mixing at house parties--it does travel well cuz it's so small.

It crapped out on me every time I used it. Buttons wouldn't work, LEDs stopped working... I didn't try it in Deckadance though...only Traktor.

I can get it to work if I programme myself I'd like it to work on traktor if I could
But like I say usually it would light up but for some strange reason it isn't
I've tried updating drivers but says got the newest one installed

Well here goes. i own one and although i don't use it now. just for back up now. it was actually a really cool little controller. works flawlessly. Does exactly what it's built to do. toontown have you ever actually used one? Anyway i used it with traktor. never tried decadence. the guy's at djtech were very helpful and quick to respond to my queries. Drop them an email. Best i can advise as i don't believe there are any decadence users around here. hopefully I'm wrong.
