Denon Dn Sc2000
Denon Dn Sc2000 Posted on: 19.11.2010 by Denyse Waterland recently bought a sc2000 but im having trouble with it.im not sure if its the harware, my software (Traktor) or the tsi file i got from the denon site. Basically the deck change button, pitch slider, cue and play pause work fine. the track select knob if also fine. but the platter only works with deck b, when deck a is selected it seems to control the first effect on effect deck 1. the hot cue buttons dont seem to work at all, though the LED's light up and it is sending a midi signal, the little icon at the top of the traktor screen lights up. the effects controls dont work, but are also sending a signal, same with filter. If anyone has any advise id be happy to hear from them, hopefully i just cocked up the setting up of the controler.. | |
Gudrun Orlov 06.06.2012 | Thanks alientek, I understand very well what you mean. Did you find some kind of conflict when both soft takeover and fader lock are on that you decided to map soft takeover on/off ? I would have thought that as long as soft takeover is on, it would not change anything that fader lock is on or off, but I can be wrong. |
Jack Narva 06.06.2012 | Glad it was of help. I remember I had mapped the bend buttons to the exact same functions. While playing I had decreased the tempo range of the C deck with "shift + Bend -" (which also turned "fader lock" off without me knowing it) I switched to control the A deck barely touched the pitch fader and it jumped from about -3 where it was to about +5 where the C deck was. That was bad, but worse is I spent a good hour trying to track down the problem in my mapping. After not seeing any cause I then thought to read the manual again. I too thought about using soft takeover as a work around, the only thing I could figure to do was map the shift & bend - to also turn on soft takeover and shift & bend + to turn it off (reverse of the hardware switch) You just need to duplicate them for the 2nd deck as well as a duplicate of the other decks midi ch. So deck A would need its control set as well as a duplicate with deck C midi ch. Deck C would need its control plus a duplicate with Deck A midi ch. That way no matter which deck you are controlling when you use the Shift & Bends, the soft takeover is followed by the other deck as well. Does that make sense? Hope so as it is a bit early here... |
Gudrun Orlov 05.06.2012 | Thanks alientek for this details. I see what "Fader Lock" function is, but I wasn't aware that you could disable it using shift + pitch bend. And you are right, it can be a problem. And I will check, because reading you, I believe it is actually... Maybe adding traktor soft take over could be a workaround. It will let having a constant behaviour, with or without "hardware fader lock" enabled. I will check that. |

This is what keeps the pitch fader from jumping when You switch decks (basically just like soft takeover). If you only have it mapped for it to control 1 deck then It wouldn't be a problem. Since it is part of the hardware firmware, you can't get around it. Just like you can't set the shift button as a modifier for the BROWSER-PREV-NEXT-DUPLICATE buttons because it would change midi channel of the SC2000. Just thought you would like to know if you were not already aware. |
Gudrun Orlov 03.06.2012 | Hi SlayForMoney Just use the modifier associated with Shit with ptich bend |
Isa Erik 03.06.2012 | junflo, can you please tell me how to add the "Adjust pitch range using Shift + pitch bend" to 1.2.7 mapping? |
Gudrun Orlov 29.05.2012 | Hi guys. I have updated my previously same-as-official-but-dimmed mapping with the enhanced functions : - Adjust pitch range using Shift + pitch bend - Add track end warning with CUE blinking - LOOP IN led fix - Adjust loop in/out using LOOP IN/OUT and jogwheel (notes : to exit a loop, LOOP OUT is not usable anymore, use AUTO LOOP instead) You can find it on DJTT mapping page : http://maps.djranking s.com/mappings/157 Feel free to comment and rate ! |
Terra Merigold 03.05.2012 | Anyone have a map for 2 decks + 2 sample decks? Thank you! |
Isa Erik 26.04.2012 | Uploaded Viper9711's 2 deck & 4 deck .TSI for Traktor Pro 1.2.7 on DJTT MIDI Maps If you have one for Traktor 2.*.*, post it also |
Corey Ganer 23.04.2012 | Thanks for looking into it juflo! |
Gudrun Orlov 22.04.2012 | Hi guys. Glad to see somebody uses my tsi Anyway, some little mistakes were in the mapping (cue assigned to deck C instead of B) So, find it fixed here ! DNSC2000- 2Decks-Dimmed.tsi |
Corey Ganer 22.04.2012 | Bump |
Corey Ganer 20.04.2012 | I downloaded a tsi from a denon dj community
s member named Juflo (IDK wether he is here as well) but am experiencing some problems. |The browse knob only works when browsing the files inside a folder, I can't browse between folders. Secondly, (same problem exists to the original denon tsi), when I am in Deck 2, the CUE button (the big one, above play), doesn't light up at all when pressed, though it's working. My question is, does anyone have a solution? Maybe juflo's tsi has been updated? Also, maybe someone has another tsi with as close to original functionality, with dimmed LEDs but without any bugs? Thanks. |
Corey Ganer 11.04.2012 | Thanks alot zestoi. It's time to figure out what all these numbers in the manual mean, then. |

I am trying Traktor (DEMO) at the moment -I have been using VDJ and the LEDs were dimmed- and for me, having dimmed LEDs is something very useful. BTW, I know nothing of MIDI mapping and was expecting the unit to work as expected, so now I'm kind of frustrated... |
Pok Curi 02.04.2012 | I just bought the Denon dn-sc2000, and I uploaded the firmware version to version 1.25. I followed the instructions that came with the file. But now the controller won't go out of the upgrade mode. I tried to plug it out and in again but it just keeps going into upgrade mode. How can I fix this? |
Felipe Rasper 02.04.2012 | yeah, i would believe so. i'm believeing of adding one to my setup; for that pricetag and those features i believe you can't go (that) wrong with it. |
Lynetta Stanislav 01.04.2012 | D@ve do you believe it would be a good addition next to the dB4 |
Felipe Rasper 02.04.2012 | today i played with this controller for the first time, used it with traktor pro 2 and have to admit that i found i a great controller ! easy to use, and a nice jog (what a miss on most controllers) reminds me of CDJ's in use. |
Lynetta Stanislav 29.03.2012 | Did you work out how to toggle between all 4 decks. |

Soo, if you want to control 4 decks, you need 2 units. Deck 1 would control A and C while deck 2 would control Deck B and D. |
Bruno Salina 15.01.2012 | Got the controller today, love it. I have TP2 and I want to use this to control all 4 decks. My "deck change" button only toggles between A and C. How can I make it go A>B>C>D? Cannot find anywhere in the manual either. |

Janyce Henningson 06.01.2012 | No its not the channel mate, its not showing as a midi device at all in Traktor is it... Can you try it on a different computer? |
Dave Kastner 05.01.2012 | Actually, what do you have to do to the unit itself to make sure it's on the correct MIDI channel? That's probably why I don't see any signals or detection in Traktor. |

Janyce Henningson 05.01.2012 | Have u tried a different usb cable? Soz mate can't believe of anything else... Sounds like a faulty unit, maybe someone else has some ideas |
Dave Kastner 05.01.2012 | Nothing out of the ordinary shows up there when it's plugged in. I also tried to plug in my Audio8 and iPhone to see if those devices appear in that USB list, but they don't, although both are usable when connected. Definitely not a problem with my computer USB connections. Out of curiosity, I plugged it into a Dell computer I have. Doesn't show that it's plugged in either, but it lights up the way it should. |
Janyce Henningson 05.01.2012 | Hmm weird Have you checked if its showing on your mac.. Apple menu ... About this mac ... More info ... USB |
Dave Kastner 05.01.2012 | Yes, I've plugged it into my computer (trying different USB ports) before launching Traktor (2.1.1). It lights up the way it should when plugged in, but you're correct, Traktor just doesn't seem to detect it being plugged in. Can't figure it out for the life of me. |
Janyce Henningson 05.01.2012 | The problem is not the tsi, you don't need to import that any more.. The problem is the controller is not being recognised in Traktor. Plug it in before you start Traktor. Does it light up? Is it showing on your mac? Try a different usb port. |
Dave Kastner 05.01.2012 | This thing seriously can't be this hard to hook up, but here's what I'm doing step-by-step, but nothing is happening. 1. Choosing the 2 Deck TSI file in the Native Instruments directory http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/833/photo1uws.jpg/ 2. Category Selection box pops up (choose ok) http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/843/photo2lce.jpg/ 3. Choosing Generic MIDI http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/577/photo3yd.jpg/ 4. No sign of the controller http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/849/photo4rf.jpg/ |
Dave Kastner 05.01.2012 | That's where I'm having an issue. When I import the TSI file, in the drop down section, theirs nothing there except "None" "Traktor Virtual Input" and "All Ports". No sign of the DNS showing up. |
Janyce Henningson 05.01.2012 | I believe it is the generic midi one Select that in the controller editor then choose the DNS for the in & out ports |
Dave Kastner 05.01.2012 | Hey guys, I just picked up one of these Denon DN-SC2000 units and I can't figure out how to map it. I'm using a MacBook Pro, I've placed the TSI files in the correct directory, I'm using the latest version of Traktor Scratch Pro, but nothing is happening when I go through the import stage. When I choose the 2 deck file, the page changes to a bunch of mappings, but at the top of the Control Manager settings page, there are only 2 options. a Generic MIDI and Scratch Pro 2 Default Mapping (Generic Keyboard). There is no sign of anything saying SC2000 anywhere. Any idea what I'm doing incorrectly? Thanks. |
