The DDJ-SB3 is a USB class compliant MIDI and audio device, so it works with Mac OS X and Linux without any special drivers. Nov 22, 2015 If you want, i can help. I am using W7/64 mixxx 1.12 beta (release Version) and i have a account on GIT, so i can directly help to code. Also testing is possible, because i have a DDJ-SB2. My coding is old style (i am born 66), but it works. Bundled with the Virtual DJ Limited Edition, the DDJ-ERGO controller enables the DJ to be creative with their music collection as soon as they take the unit out of the box. The stylish controller is designed using contoured edges with black, white and gradient colors. Pioneer DDJ SB Full Traktor Mapping, Working FX, Sampler, Roll, V1.1 NEW VERSION Hi;) This mapping gives you all features that you can get from DDJ SB. Working: Scratch, Flux, HotCues, Roll, Samples, FX knobs, Fader Start, Auto Loop, and many more.
This is my attempt at mapping the Pioneer DDJ-SR for Mixxx.
This was originally written for Mixxx v1.11.0, but I'm in the process of updating it to Mixxx 2.0 as of January 2017. This is very much a hobby project though, so updates may be intermittent.
How do I use it?
If you just want to get your controller working with with Mixxx without bothering about the details much, then do the following:
- Download the following two files:
- Copy these to the
[Mixxx Directory]/controllers
folder. This will probably be one of the following locations:- Windows:
C:Program FilesMixxxcontrollers
- Linux:
/usr/share/mixxx/controllers or /usr/local/share/mixxx/controllers
- OS X:
/Applications/Mixxx.app/Contents/Resources/controllers/
- Windows:
- Make sure your Pioneer DDJ-SR is plugged in, turned on, and set up to use DJ software other than Serato (see your user manual, or the
Controller Setup
section below) - Open (or restart) Mixxx, and enjoy using your (semi-functional) controller
Controller Setup (important!)
By default, your Pioneer DDJ-SR will be in 'Serato-mode'. This means that some functionality quite simply won't work in Mix until you turn it off (for example, keylock for the pitch controls). To change this, do the following.
Ddj Sb Driver
- Turn off the Pioneer DDJ-SR
- Hold down
Shift
+Play
on the left deck, and turn the power on. - Turn the left deck's keylock on.
- Restart the controller.
To use the controller with Serato again, repeat this process and turn the keylock back off again.
What's implemented?
- General
- Cross-fader
- VU Meter LEDs
- Deck Controls
- Volume
- Play / pause
- EQ
- Highs
- Mids
- Lows
- LPF / HPF Filter
- Cue button
- Sync button (although this works differently than in Serato; still to be fixed)
- Performance Pads
- Hot Cues
- Rolls
- Sampler (without LEDs however)
- Jog Wheels
- Scratching
- Pitch Bending
What's missing?
![Ddj Sb Mixxx Compatibility Ddj Sb Mixxx Compatibility](/uploads/1/2/7/0/127077663/271525789.jpg)
- Some button LEDs
- Performance Pads:
- PAD Plus functions
- Slicer
- Sampler LEDs (but sampler itself works)
- Effects
- Slip
- High resolution knobs
I'm a developer. How do I build this?
In order to make things a bit easier to understand and modularised, I've written a basic build process for this mapping. This allows me to do things like define all the midi-mappings in JavaScript, and then let Node build up the final XML file that Mixxx understands. In order to do this, you'll need to do the following:
- Install NodeJS if you haven't already
- Get all of the node dependencies for this project:
- Open a console, command prompt or powershell.
- Navigate go to the project folder.
- Enter
npm install
- Build the project
- Open a console, command prompt or powershell.
- Navigate go to the project folder.
- Enter
npm run build
The final results of this will be placed in your
bin
directory. They will also be copied to your process.env.LOCALAPPDATA + '/Mixxx/controllers'
folder, so Mixxx should detect them immidiately as well.You can also optionally run
npm run watch
, which will rebuild the project any time you edit a JavaScript file in the source
folder.Development Tips
- Run Mixxx from a terminal with the
--controllerDebug --developer
arguments. This gives you all debug output there from your controller, enables theDeveloper
menu, and also provides you with additional development information in control tooltips. - Mixxx does not recognise
console.log(...)
, but you can useengine.log(...)
instead. - You do not necessarily have to restart Mixxx for it to detect changes, but it sometimes helps ;-)

Scrollable FX Drop-down Menu
New to Serato DJ 1.5.2 is Scrollable FX Drop down Menus in both single and multi FX mode.
