    An older vid but I really enjoy coming across these niche pieces of content and tutorials meant specifically for a specific controller/software.
    It's always nice to see some of the gear you actually own when trying to learn, instead of trying to translate from unfamiliar tech.

    Hi Jamie, One cool trick could also be to use as the root note the cue point from where you want to start the playback.
    Then when you want to finish the toneplay and start playback you just press the root note pad and while pressing it press play, track will continue to run

    The 'single note' hot cue should be the root note, right? So if Track B (the track you want to transition to) is in Em, the single note of Track A should be an E, so that you can play the E Minor scale with keyboard mode. If the single note of Track A was a G and you would play the Minor scale, it would clash, right?

    • @kierenmoore3236
      @kierenmoore3236 Před 2 lety

      You’d need to cue up a piano note in a song (a nice, clear example of one), if you wanted this keyboard to sound/play anything like a piano … or perhaps there’s a other way of selecting a sound/samole to use as the ‘keyboard sound reference’ (dom’t know yet; I’m a noob myself).

    I have the DDJ-FLX4, I have ‘Keyboard’ written under the ‘Hot Cue’ button, yet when I hold shift and press that button, nothing happens. It flashes to let me know it’s selected the shift function for the button, yet it doesn’t work and nothing comes up in the boxes in Rekordbox on my screen (it still displays Hot Cues). Is this only a function for Serato users or something?

    Hello,
    I tried to follow the tutorial with my ddj400 but I face the following problem: On the tutorial I see that while you press the button, the music goes, but when you stop pressing it, music stops too. In my case once I press, the music continues, it does not have the behavior like the cue button, what could be the reason ? Thanks!

    • @RobertD_83
      @RobertD_83 Před 4 lety +1

      If you have the song playing when you choose the key it will continue playing from the cue point in that key. If you have the track paused it will function as a cure button in the respective key. You can think of it as just a regular hot cue the changes the note when pressed.

    • @RobertD_83
      @RobertD_83 Před 4 lety +1

      Another home that I just figured out is that you can flip through the keyboard pages by using the shift + pads 7 & 8 on the deck you're using keyboard mode on. In the video he has dedicated buttons for it but on the 400 it's kinda hidden. If you need shift and any of the other pads it will delete that cue point though.
