Firmware update thoughts

Any news on the asymmetrical jog bend (non M SC5000)? Could someone try that for me?

The update looks cool so far!

updated both my SC5000s via USB. no problems at all.

like the order by key feature.

i have yet to dig into the engine prime software, but its nice to see i can sync directly to rekordbox, which appears to work OK. I just hope its more intuitive to export to USB!

So i just noticed on the downloads page, where they pulled the SC5000 firmware back to 1.2.2 for the non M version. Does anyone know why? I would like to update my SC5000’s!

Here we go! I just had a set with my new SC5000 Ver. 1.3.1! Amazing! Nothing changed From the last 1.2.2 version! That’s really incredible…Just a touch up here and there but the MEAT has yet to come… No difference on the loops behaviour, no date in the History folders, no bpm grid changes, etc… so just the crumbs but not the cake… Just my two cents, as always!

I’m confused now. Is there a release for the SC5000 or not? Or are we supposed to use the SC5000M firmware?

Or is it a glitch on the website? (1.2.2 is already in the legacy section)

When I checked it after the announcement, it was listed as 1.3.1, so it looks like they have rolled it back. It’s looking like there was a pretty big bug from what I am hearing, from fellow SC5000 owners, regarding HID mode and Serato.

@amarillis - I must agree with you. I bet they have worked hard… But like I statet in another post - had higher hopes.

Love:

  • The Key-adjust feature.
  • Create playlists / folder feature.

Miss:

  • Activating pre-defined loops before pressing Play (mentioned after the last update took that feature away)
  • Rating tracks on-the-fly (mentioned more than 1 year ago)
  • Add comments on-the-fly (mentioned more than 1 year ago)
  • Option to correct wrongly analyzed tracks on-the-fly (by tapping, editing the numbers in the bpm or like in Serato mode on MCX8000 - (mentioned since the release of SC5000))
  • Naming hotcues on-the-fly

One can only wish.

I use neither. Can someone send me their SC5000 1.3.1? Would like to try it this evening.

About “can’t find v1.3.1 on the webpage”

By JWiLL

We discovered an issue with SC5000 1.3.1 build when used with Serato. It seems that after performing the update 1.3.1 update, the deck will only control deck 1 within Serato DJ. We have since pulled the 1.3.1 download links and are investigating this with the highest priority. If you are suffering this issue please comment and follow this thread for the latest update and fix. We deeply apologize for this inconvenience and will have more information very soon.

Please let me know, i want it too! Thnx

I can send it to you, but it is a little buggy

All,

Please do not update to SC5000 1.3.1 at this time. As I mentioned in the post below, we discovered an issue when used with Serato DJ. We are investigating with issue with the highest priority and have since removed the SC5000 1.3.1 links.

All other updates are ok, this issue is limited to the SC5000 1.3.1 release. We apologize for the inconvenience and will have more information soon.

Awhile ago in one of these threads someone from Denon said they would be making the phase-meter work without sync in an upcoming firmware release. This still hasn’t happend and is quite inconvenient. I do not like sync but to use the phase meter I’m stuck turning it on. I can see no reason for this lack in functionality when the competitors not only have it, but even offer multiple options to go about it.

Agreed

And as you say this is not the last update ever and ever amen.

There is also, despite what the forever “rain-on-your-parade” damp squibs are trying to push, no way that this is in any way a minor, or interim firmware update.

Today has supplied a massive response to all the listening that Denon DJ has done for its users. We users wanted the top end freqz improved. We wanted the ultra higher resolution industry topping pitch control steps. We wanted to be able to do playlists and crates on the players themselves as they are standalone. We wanted a comments field, a date added field, we wanted to search by those fields… Countless other features, requests, adjustments and new functionality got requested by us too. We wanted proper Denon DJ provided database conversion of other music programs libraries without paying a company that’s out of the development loop for it. We listed over the Prime 4 music harmony key adjusting mixing features and wanted it so it didn’t taint the audio quality of the track, all on the touch screen. Over 200 things requested on the forum at a rough count and this update has supplied loads of those features, And that’s just for the 5000.

Today brought us several new features for the x1800 mixer prime too, including mic features, display features, screensavers and brightness control, new menu options and layouts, and all sort of other requests from us on this forum. We got given all that today too.

5000m owners, which isn’t me, I’ve got the 5000s) had some things they wanted changed with platter movement and pop reduction after scratching and other repeating platter moving etc - that’s in there too.

Then new Engine Prime is provided as well today, again with a lot of forum members owners requests.

Out of hundreds of requests the forum held from us, we’ve all been given a hell of a lot of them. Were we going to get 250 requests met in one single update? Of course not. But what we got today is absolutely massive and the timing now makes perfect sense around the shipping dates announcement for the prime 4 which shares the key harmonic mixing, new engine Prime, the extra search tag fields and so much more. This is an amazing day to be a prime user or potential prime user.

Whoops! Luckily I grabbed it earlier. I don’t use it with Serato so I’m covered either way. :stuck_out_tongue: But glad they are tending to the matter quickly for those who do!
