🚀 Engine DJ v4.0 Now Available - Enter the flow!

[Obie_Saddler]

Absolutely. Good analysis bro.

@Reticuli

The Ethernet on Prime doesn’t seem to be exploited anywhere close to its full potential, and seems relatively rudimentary.

I can’t recall where I saw this, but the Ethernet is hard locked at 100Mbs on boot up in one of the boot up scripts. This was clearly intentional and the “why” may have to do with giving the SoC more time to compute stuff. I say this because things go crazy when you put a Linux compatible 1GigE USB Ethernet interface on the devices.

Totally a wild guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Congrats to the release, team!

My in-depth look (14min) video is just getting uploaded on YT, while I finally fall asleep in my sarcophagus. It’s 4:50 AM here. To please all freaks, this is my most nerdy slide:

Let’s continue the ride!

Engine DJ 4.0: An in-Depth Look

[DaMelloOne]

Great update Denon! Nice work

[Kinsotojin]

Bit late on this one but thank you Denon for yet another great update yes most of us want stems and yes Bluetooth out would be great too but for everytime a new update comes out it just gives me a reason to get on the decks. I need to find a view that i can use on my players as well as my standalone so as not to confuse myself, having the library on screen at all times is a game changer for me as well as search within playlist i know that has been a longstanding request.

I can’t wait to get home and start having a go with the new layouts

[Pwnda]

A great update - with “change” and with change will come divided opinion! The new layout has flexibility and when you get your head round it is brilliant! Can Denon do everything for everyone in a single release - NO! But this is a very considered and focussed release and shows a continued investment in the Development of the hardware! Thank you Team Denon (InMusic!)

PPS - can we get a DJS1000 killer yet??

[Kosmac]

Congrats team Denon, another big step forward !!!

[Solaris]

@Pwnda

Well, the Akai Force absolutely shreds the DJS1000 at a cheaper price, just sync it with Ableton Link… but beware, it’s a chonky beast

As for the Update 4.0, what a fantastic release…! Looks good and implemented quite a few user requests (I believe like 5, or 6 even?!) involving popular ones. Engine seems far more flexible and modular now.

@Skaratak

wow… dude, now this is what I call a sick review, compared to the ‘usual suspects’ you shaped it unique, detailed and even a bit mysterious… couldn’t expect anything less from our masked Denon hero! Your English is more than okay, I love your accent. Its all a matter of practise. Just keep the subtitles, they do help. Also, that GDI intro… salutes to Eric Alan Martin :')

@addie

@STU-C The video was probably recorded with an unreleased version to get content ready in time for release.

Here’s the info from the user guide for the layout manager on FX, mind the note:

Main FX: Tap this to enable or disable BPM Effects from appearing in Performance View. When enabled, the FX selection and parameters will be shown at the bottom of the touchscreen. Tap the FX name to open the list of effects, and then tap to select a new effect. See BPM FX for more information.

Note: This option is not available for PRIME 4 and PRIME 4+.

I‘ve got this view on my Prime 4 after the update

[DJPeteLove]

and 128 beats at 320bpm

[Towny_Drop]

this update is so great, I hope this is one step closer to getting the edit tags, loops and cues on the hardware as well

[Pwnda]

@Solaris Ha - I had a Force for a while but it was “too much” and what I needed was a simplified version… (Maybe they need to make a scaled back “kiosk” of the OS with just the bits needed to replicate the sampler/sequencer features!?) I have a DJS1000 and a circuit happy box to give ableton link connectivity - the DJS is just really “easy” and quick to pick up… It would just be nice to get something from the denon family. (Don’t get me wrong - the DJS1000 is a great piece of kit - highly recommended!!)

[AIRVince]

Hrmmm. The FX bar really shouldn’t be there since there are dedicated OLED screens which already display this information. Because of this, it might cause unexpected behavior. You could try pressing the “Reset current view” button in the Layout Manager to see if that resolves this. If that doesn’t, performing a factory reset should remove this from the screen.

Cheers,

Vince

[STU-C]

Seems quite a few people like it Vince, perhaps a feature request for whoever does?

[Vrtra]

Ok it‘s gone now.

Btw. Finally we can use channel 3/4 only cheers

[LukeAnnett]

Thought I’d be able to view both waveforms on my SC6000M. They really should be using layers, not decks when saying we can view two waveforms. I was extremely excited until I found out that we STILL can’t view the other deck’s waveform.

[Coronal_Aurora]

factory reset removed the fx bar from my P4. thanks

[Vrtra]

The Prime 4 still only got 21 beats shown on screen at 160bpm. That makes me sad

[XLBeat]

I would really love to have some kind of “Analyse” to the streaming tracks before playing. And, I really would like to be able to sort the tracks by BPM on streaming tracks. I haven’t installed the update yet, but I’m pretty sure it’s not implemented yet.

[STU-C]

On one of the previous builds, there was a crowd sourced streaming database implemented whereby analysis is uploaded and stored for others to use.
