Thank you !!!! looking forward to the VDJ support for the AZ ..

for me .. still VDJ as the main platform, for library functionality, performance/programmed pads and stems of course.

(btw - for whoever is interested)
For me, bought the AZ is closest to club standard and I can test/play just from USB (Rekordbox). making sure the export works and I can find my stuff. Whenever I am able to use the laptop, using the outer 4 channels for stems with VDJ.

still strongly prefer VDJ ... also using it for my Reloop Mixtour Pro.
 
When will we have the Virtual DJ update that includes compatibility with the AlphaTheta XDJ-AZ?
Thank you very much!!
Greetings!!!

Yes, when will we get the update for the XDJ-AZ? Shouldn't it come in January?
 
Waiting in anticipation for this. Will the screen be supported like on the Prime 4? If so then worth the wait.
 
I would love to see a controller that have video output and could be a standalone with that kind of files.
Or is it just me ;)
 
Yers been waiting for that too but nobody is interested.

That's why a controller with embedded VDJ would be awesome.
 
BUILD 8526 (2025-02-18) early Access !!!

-Support for Pioneer XDJ-AZ
-safeVideoDecode enabled for NVidia to fix bug in recent driver update
-sampler_pad_volume script to respect sampler pad pages
-Add quantizeScratch option to quantize release of jog wheel
-Fix beatgrid and cue point offset on cdj export
-Improve multi-bpm analysis
-samplerSpanAcrossDeck support for 4x4 and 8x8 pad configurations
-Fix track cleaner/video editor creating duplicate poi if no audio edits were made
-Fix drag&drop on per-song sampler bank on pads and in sideview
-‘Include subfolders’ option for CDJ export
-CDJ drives have subfolder to show songs that are not included in any playlist for easy deletion
-Fix some older zipped sampler banks not showing up in correct order
-search_folder finds filter folders too


I have already discovered one problem: the time in the AZ display is not changed when the pitch is changed and then differs from that in VDJ.
At first I had a brief problem switching to vinyl mode, but later it worked perfectly.
The transfer of the wave to the monitor is much more precise than with the RX3, thank you very much for that :-)

Most likely you had this with your RX3 and never noticed.
The times are sent in "absolute" mode which is not taking Pitch into account, while the VDJ skin is showing the "relative" values.
It's the device firmware that expects such values, but we ll have a look if possible to change.
 
Any one have an idea when this the xdj-az will be compatible with virtual dj? This thing is revolutionary in every way i use it with cdjs. I know it's newer on the market but I'm hoping they come out with the software compatibility soon

Now everything is running.

I just opened rekordbox and here I was asked for the registration. Also, rekordbox wanted to install an update.

I have now restarted VDJ and the controller as well. Now everything works!
 
Yes, you need the latest Firmware version to use XDJ-AZ with VirtualDJ.
Most likely your unit was shipped with an older Firmware version and Rekordbox Firmware Manager updated it.

Anyway, manual is on the make and will make everything clear in a couple of days.
 
Ok, we have improved Vinyl Mode detection when switching between PC and USB modes.
Please try again with factory default mapper on next update and let us know if the problem has been fixed.
 
I noticed the following: if I want to work with stems, I can only do this via the EQ pots by using channels 3 and 4 for the stems; according to the warning, there is no other way to do this.
But the whole thing only works if there are no songs loaded in decks 3 and 4, so the deck must be empty?
 
So assuming the XDJ-AZ has an external mixer setup, that would make sense.

The frequency filter mode of the EQs are built into the hardware can't be bypassed, but they all send MIDI, so you sacrifice the outer channels frequency based EQs usage (and ultimately, usage of those decks) to control the stems of the inner channels with the MIDI they send, while the EQs of the inner channels still have frequency based filtering.

If you load a song into the outer deck, you would most likely want to have EQ control of that deck too so disabling its use for stem control of the inner decks would be the only thing to allow for that.
 
And then I have a slightly more difficult request.

I changed the order of pad selection.

The 'Cue's under HOT CUE remain, like 'Loop' under BEAT LOOP, under SLIP LOOP I want to use 'Stems', under BEAT JUMP the 'Samplers'

This is easy to set in VDJ.

However, the original assignment is shown in the AZ display. How can I change the display?
I didn't find anything in the mapping file to change the assignment of the stems, for example, and no content is displayed on the samplers at all.
 
So my understanding would be once you assign pad pages as described in the manual, the changes should be reflected on the hardware.

However I've not used an XDJ-AZ, so I'm not sure if that is a firmware limitation as to what certain pages are displayed as (devs would have more info there as to if this is a limitation of the firmware or an actual bug).

Side note: I also wonder/I'm not sure of what's the expected behavior (on the skin) if multiple controllers with pad selection and trigger capability are connected.

For my workflow it would be better if they stayed in stems mode, since I can also control channel 3/4 via the filter, but for the stems there is only the pads as an alternative, not to mention that I now have to sacrifice a button to unload the deck, you can't always see whether a song is loaded in deck 3/4.

In principle, the current MIDI command always counts, that is a direct trigger command, regardless of where it comes from
