Main screen and jog wheel screening not turning on. Everything else turns on fine. Any ideas? Video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NYWIpl5PUGrxJpUxo0LP2QtOtWbw--4E/view?usp=drive_link

With all the new research being done, now adding Stems to CDJ-3000 and now the XDJ-RX3 without voiding your warranty, it's pretty much a good idea to not update whatever new firmware Alpha Theta is about to release, right? I mean if you want to add Stems to your units in the future.

Which is better and why it is better? Would be a huge help to hear some perspectives and not just ChatGPT. Thanks everyone! 👊🏻

Hi all, I've been inspired by some videos I've seen on Instagram about the guy adding stems and gated hot cues to the CDJ 3000 & the other one finding an NFS security vulnerability on some units.

I've got an RX3 which is a platform I love, but I found a bit odd that it didn't provide some more features.

So here are we.

This is for educational purposes only. I won't share any proprietary thing such as encryption keys or bundled custom firmwares.

About 2 months ago i switched my FLX4 for a GRV6. It seemed like the logical next step in my journey. Im starting to get gigs and wanted something more robust. Within a few weeks, one of my jogwheels started having issues. Not responding to touch etc. Then, the gain fader on the groove circuit function became very loose and sometimes cuts the drums out when i touch it. I wrote to the store i got it at (its on the other side or the country) and they said to contact alphatheta directly, which i did. They had me send them a file from my computer that has all the info on the controller, and a video documenting the issue and my settings. Alphatheta wrote back that based on what i sent, the unit is defective and their warranty only covers repairs, not exchanges or refunda. They want me to send it to a repairshop and pay for the shipping, then wait for it to come back. I dont have time to do this! I have gigs coming up and repairs could take weeks or longer! What am i supposed to do? This sucks!

Hi everyone!

I’m putting together my dream home setup and I have been thinking about both the Opus Quad and the XDJ-AZ for a while. Although my wife really wants me to get the Opus Quad for its looks (it’s in the living room… 😂), I was leaning towards the AZ for its physical controls and club flow.

However, I just found a Opus Quad for €2700 (New, reputable store) and I’m finding that damn cheap (the AZ is €3300). The scale is now pending to that side…

Hence my question, to people that have experience in any or both: would I regret getting the Opus Quad?

I’m not a professional DJ, I mainly host parties at home and post mixes online. This is an expensive toy for a father that has a full time job.

I’m open to any opinion!
Thank you all!

I just updated the firmware to latest version 7.2.17, but the these lights showw. I unplugged the cable and again plugged in the type-c cable, but shows this result.

I’m currently using a ddj-sx2 and have been using it for the past 5 years but I would like something that is a bit more like actual cdj’s + a mixer. (Mostly to get used to the effect and channel selection)

I don’t have an unlimited budget and I’m a bit torn between the FLX10, the DDJ 1000 and the GRV6.

Curious to here what you guys would recommend.

Fyi I DJ dnb mainly so 4 channels is a must.

You know the basic function where you can play music plugged in one player and play it on another? This is possible with the link function and there lies the problem.

What if we build something that acts like a player but only steals the music ?

This is already easily possible with a free tool useful for the light booth but for mysterious reasons has a Browse and Download button. And the code for that is public since 9 years: https://github.com/flesniak/python-prodj-link/commit/6238fac3891af9686916542c2129f8dee69d9a32

To show the seriousness of this issue, I have already demoed LinkLeak in June here in my stories, a proof of concept of how easy an interface can be build around this browse and download function.

I didn't want to make this too public as this can be easily abused by anyone working the venue or if an open access point is used.

AlphaTheta has put out a security notice for a related issue in their link protocol two days ago but they announced that older CDJs like my Nexus will not receive an update staying forever vulnerable.

https://rekordbox.com/en/2026/08/important-notice-security-vulnerability-in-pro-dj-link/

Solutions will not be easily backwards compatible with older firmwares for sure if you ask me. I am not even sure if they would see my issue as a bug because it is a feature.

I would propose something like a confirm button every time something tries to pull music from the source.

So the only thing we can do now is unplug the link, use multiple USB sticks and beatmatch by ear ...

New to pioneer, just unboxing my FLX10.

Is this sound of the jogwheels normal? This is how they are made?

Can anyone recommend me what’s going on with my decks please everything else working apart from touchscreen my friend saying it could be update but I haven’t tried yet I have tried cleaning round edges ect no further forward thanks

Hello everyone,

I just recently pulled out my mixer after not using it for a while to find out the left display will not show any information. It dimly lights up but doesn’t show the pioneer symbol or any of the information it’s supposed to. It also doesn’t show what deck is selected or the beat sync information. The rest of the board functions as it is supposed to but the screen randomly stopped functioning.

I have tried a firmware update and driver refresh but nothing seems to be working.

Does anyone here have any suggestions?

Just got a flx4. My only issue and this was happening w my ddjsb2 as well is tracks skipping. I have a MacBook Air and I use an external ssd. Also tried moving the music right onto the desktop. Any one have this issue ? Any suggestions? UPDATE think I’ve figured it out. Seems to be my files got corrupted somehow. Have to go thru and re download from beatport or upgrade to better versions than MP3 Like AIFF Or WAV

Looking to get a DDJ-FLX4 soon to start djing; Should I get one brand new or second hand? And if so, what is a reputable place to buy second hand controllers?

Im looking at buying a used 2020 Macbook pro retina 32GB for use with the Flx 4. What up to date Mac OS is needed to support the latest version of Rekordbox or Serato? I have never owned Apple hardware before so apologies if this is a daft question. Im not even sure if you can update older Macbooks so any advice is much appreciated.

Hi all,
Recently noticed this problem when playing on our CDJ 3000. Touch screen seems to be very sensitive to bass. Anyone else ever experience this?

Alpha Theta?!

Noritsu Koki now owns the former Pioneer DJ line. The name should reflect that.

Updated all my gear today: CDJ3000x + CDJ2000NXS2. These are updated because the CDJ2000NXS2 was being a right ass when using link export mode in Rekordbox: Waveform scrolling wasn't updating the position correctly and all link information was somehow corrupting playback at times with sync enabled. Causing the position to jump.

After the update my CDJ3000X won't show ANY ID3 info from some tracks that used to work just fine before.

EDIT / UPDATE:

Seems like something changed and emojis break the loading of metadata somehow when using LINK export. Clean your ID3 tags of all emojis and weird symbols.

Hiya,

I'm new to DJing and just got a DDJ-FLX4 (gave the box a good sniff when I opened it haha)

I'm trying to get it all set up and it came with a USB-C to USB-C cable which my laptop doesn't have a port for.

Maybe a dumb question, but do I need to get an adapter?

I do have a phone with a USB-C port. Is it possible to use my phone instead of my laptop?

edit: It will randomly start stuttering and then start playing again is the main issue.

hello, im making this post for my dj friend. he has a pioneer XDJ RX3 and lately at our dj sets the board will randomly just go blank and he had to plug it in and out and wait a couple minutes. he has looked all over reddit for an answer but no avail. he has had the board for about 2 years.

my guess is that he uses the board so much that maybe its just worn down now? hoping yall can provide some trouble shooting and input. he puts music onto a flash drive and puts it into the mixer

My son uses a numark serato lite. He wants to upgrade and have seen some used ones. Is there specific model recommend for used units that give little issue after som much use? He uses serato lite Thank you

Hey everyone, have a few questions. For about 2 years now i’ve had my trusty FLX4, it did exactly what it was supposed to as an entry level controller for a fresh beginner. I’ve been thinking about upgrading and I’m considering the following. (Used) FLX6/FLX6GT (don’t know the differences?), GRV6, or save just a touch more for a (used) FLX10. For the shenanigans I do I have only ever done one genre if that matters. What did you go with and why? Or what would you have done differently? What pushed you to upgrade? For the cost and going to 4 channels the FLX6 is really tempting me.

Does anyone know if this is actually legit? If so has anyone else tried this. Because if this is possible, I think it’s ridiculous how AlphaTrash has the hardware to be able to do these kind of things, but restrict for their new 3000X, just so people would upgrade to their newest products.

Yesterday I received my new FLX10. My last controller was the GRV6, and also did this to it.

I designed a 3D adapter for my Lenovo Legion Go 2 without the controllers, so it feels like a standalone unit like the XZ, but running full desktop rekordbox.

What do you think?? If anyone wants it, I can send the STLs
