Question 1

What is ProDJFX DJ Deck?

Accepted Answer

ProDJFX DJ Deck is a professional Max for Live performance device that brings a hardware-style DJ workflow directly into Ableton Live. It combines deck transport, cueing, track navigation, Hot Cues, standard and triplet looping, Beat Jump, Key Shift, tempo control, synchronization, performance pads, waveform and timing feedback, and multi-deck operation in one integrated deck workflow.

Question 2

What do I need to use ProDJFX DJ Deck?

Accepted Answer

You need Ableton Live 12 with Max for Live available and authorized, and you must use Ableton Live Session View. Audio clips are loaded into Clip Slots on the same audio track as the ProDJFX DJ Deck device. Accurate BPM and beat-grid preparation is important for timing-dependent functions.

Question 3

Which versions of Ableton Live are supported?

Accepted Answer

ProDJFX DJ Deck v1.0 requires Ableton Live 12 with Max for Live. Compatibility with future versions of Ableton Live, Max, operating systems, controllers, or third-party software cannot be guaranteed and should be verified before critical live use.

Question 4

Do I need Max for Live?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ProDJFX DJ Deck is a Max for Live device, so Max for Live is required and must be available and authorized in Ableton Live.

Question 5

Do my tracks need to be warped?

Accepted Answer

ProDJFX DJ Deck automatically enables Warp when a compatible clip is loaded, so no separate manual Warp setting is normally required. For reliable DJ-style timing, the clip BPM and beat grid should be prepared accurately before performance.

Question 6

Can I use multiple ProDJFX DJ Decks in one Ableton Live Set?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Add each additional each additional ProDJFX DJ Deck to its own Ableton Live audio track and load that deck's clips into Session View Clip Slots on the same track. Practical deck count depends on the complexity of the Live Set and the performance of the computer, so the full multi-deck setup should be tested before live use.

Question 7

Can I use ProDJFX DJ Deck with a MIDI controller?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Device controls can be assigned using Ableton Live's MIDI-mapping system. Actual compatibility depends on the controller, its available controls, and the mapping you create.
