🚀 Engine DJ v3.2.0 Now Available - Day Mode, Fuzzy Key Mixing, FX Select Menu, Improved Downbeat Detection + More!

You’re vastly overplaying the impact of a minor cosmetic issue was your point, and in that respect, yes it’s valid.

The mobile phone market is completely irrelevant to this, because that device whole GUI is centred around that screen and cant be operated without using it, whereas DJ gear can be operated without using the screen, once a track is selected. So comparing occasional use with full use is misguided, and a form of deflection.

What’s an ‘old DJ’, out of interest?

Don’t see it as a “Problem”. It’s a small glitch that doesn’t affect performance/playing in any way. I believe it will be addressed but for sure not a priority at all.

Day Mode makes a massive difference outside in direct light. Finally had chance to try it out today (its been raining in the UK forever).

For me, if I was the one allocating Dev resource, id much prefer them to be focusing on improvements like the additional ‘If’ functions to Smart Playlists or getting Sweep FX (Filter on a Prime 2) into the headphone cue, these would be real quality of life changes for DJs. There are other things like record volume that are useful too.

Can anyone shoot a video perhaps? The waveform on my devices are smooth until the next section is loaded, then one stutter occurs (about every 20 or 30 seconds is my guess).

Pioneer waveform operates at about 5 or 10fps, so nonstop stutter imo.

Have you put the player into “Continuous” mode?

Even with version 3.1.1 Continues is in the off position. This option doesn’t react with my playlist. 3.2 tried it in ON position…no cure. Did you try it with a playlist from a streaming service ?

When using Play as playlist continue should not be necessary. I don’t have Amazon Music so I can’t check the behaviour

I’m definitely not trying to “reduce the impact of the stuttering waveforms”. It really IS cosmetic only. I’m not saying it’s something that doesn’t need fixing as it does, only that it’s visual only and happens every 30 to 60 seconds or so. It’s a pause in the waveform drawing which causes the waveforms to become less smooth, not a stutter (that’s a repeat). Serato DJ had this same waveform drawing issue on their waveforms for years on Mac and it probably still exists on Windows. They fixed it but it took a long time.

Is it ideal? Nope. I’d like to see it fixed though. One visual-only glitch every minute or so will not stop me enjoying what is an absolute awesome bit of kit. The team are aware and will address it but for now I hope it doesn’t mean that you can’t mix on your devices.

If you have an audio dropout then please add it to the thread quoted as that is a problem as the crowd could potentially hear it. That does need addressing.

Moin dear all, @SlayForMoney and @AirVince,

regarding to

https://community.enginedj.com/t/quicker-bpm-fx-selection-using-overlay-on-touchscreen/50438/6

and next # /7.

Unfortunately the regarded thread is already closed althoug not completely solved yet, P4 and P4+ are waiting for a solution

Thanks for your attention and brgds

BeatMaster

I hopen some people do have it and experience the same issues so they can figure out this bug. Thank you for your comment.

So people with amazon music… please test if your playlist stops playing to with this new update!

ExFAT. It was working with the last version

Sorry, should have asked MBR or GPT? The Primes need MBR

My main drive is GPT and works fine. My backup drive is MBR and also works fine - both Samsung

I too was running GPT in my Prime 4 until a recent update failed to see the drive. A quick search within support.Denon states MBR should be used

Denon DJ PRIME Series | Optimizing Search Function on a PRIME device : Denon DJ.

Changing to MBR fixed my issue

ive got a prime 4+ and a 4TB evo 870 formatted to gpt as my installed main ssd drive and has worked fine. worked on shipped firmware and on the latest.

I’m so happy that I changed my “rider”. You guys are truly leading the industry. Great job Denon DJ & Engine DJ Teams!

:pray:t5::pray:t5::pray:t5: so the next big update (or at least part of it) I presume will be stems (hopefully across the board)

The official info is they are looking for Prime 4+ users to help with beta testing that function on that device only.

Finally I can give my praises here as well. By pure coincidence, 3.2 got released on the same day when I picked up my Control One. So this felt like Christmas to me!

Things I really like:

  • Albeit I don’t need Day Mode in most situations, the implementation is well done!
  • Fuzzy Key Mixing is a highly welcomed addition, I am sure @philmorse agrees
  • The new EFX select mode with the touch overlay is far more convenient
  • I love the new Flex Gate, especially once the L/R Pan parameter comes into play
  • It could be just me, but I noticed slightly improved stability and snappiness overall
  • A small detail, but highly welcomed: The EFX On/Off button flashes much faster. As a guy who has to keep an eye on my music and visual performance at the same time, things quickly become hectic, hence instant visual feedback is crucial - thanks devs!
  • When did you guys add a screensaver?

Small bugs I encountered:

  • Engine doesn’t remember the EFX setting for the new Flex Gate. It always defaults all parameters, even when changing between EFX.
  • Already since 3.1 I observed that Engine also doesn’t remember my preferred horizontal waveform layout (Shift + View), it always returns to vertical waveforms after reboot.
  • Track Skip (<<, >>) buffering issues still persists, when quickly jumping through tracks, though it seems having improved (placebo?)

And here we go:

Not related to 3.2 but worth mentioning that the Control One is an immensely helpful device in my case. So far I had to control everything (browse, perform, SS main overrides, SS autoloops, SS intensity groups) via the 7" touchscreen, which becomes even more challenging when wearing a ≈6KG mask with limited vision. Now I can split my workflow and have proper haptic feedback. Nice!
