1. Load on old version of SSL (before Native DN-HC1000S support)
2. Do a manual custom MAP. Assign only the buttons on the HC1000s that you want to be different. For instance: Assign Tap to Internal
3. Go to Setup/ MIDI and name and save your MIDI Map.

10 months after it’s End-of-life (EOL) announcement, Denon has release a firmware for the DN-HS5500. It promises to fix the Random Cue Slip many users have been complaining about that was added with the last SYS 1300 update.
• Improved Random Marker Point drift when scratching

Tired of reaching for your volume knob every time your mp3 player changes to a new song? MP3Gain analyzes and adjusts mp3 files so that they have the same volume. As many normalizers do, MP3Gain does peak normalization, and some statistical analysis to determine how loud the file actually sounds to the human ear.

Shure announced there latest headphones: SRH750DJ. Many D.J.s have counted on Shure products for there cartridges and microphones, now you have quality DJ headphones to go along with it.

Right on the heels of Denon’s DN-HC1000S announcment, Native Instruments launches Traktor Kontrol X1. Like the 1000S, I would have preferred a horizontal unit to put above my mixer, not to the right or left.

Denon DJ will be introducing a total of eight new products at the forthcoming PLASA show in September. This will include the DN-S700 CD/MP3 player; DN-HC5000 and HC1000S media controllers, DN-HP500 headphones and DN-X1700 digital mixer.

1.9.1 expands the SP-6 functionality. It is a few steps closer to 6 virtual decks. For SL-3, we still need:
• SL-3 MIDI Map to Hot Cues on Sampler • SL-3 Looping control (Auto-Looping, Loop-Roll) & MIDI assignable • MIDI Option to reverse fader direction • MIDI & Keyboard option for Doubles from Deck To Sampler & Vice versa • Sampler Output to Internal Sound Card

Denon announces new flagship 4 Channel 12″ mixer with Worlds First DJ Mixer w/32-Bit DAC Output. Denon DJ Brand Manager Silvio Zeppieri said $900 will be a deposit! “We put the best stuff on earth into this baby and the price will reflect it. This high end DJ mixer will set a new bar for its class.”

Traktor Pro is great software with a disgusting amount of MIDI custom features like the modifier. I’m working on a Custom MIDI Mapper for the DN-HC4500 and Traktor Pro.
