I just love how Denon just keeps the improvements coming. Gives you confidence that it's not just a money grab and they intend on supporting their gear for years to come.
Except for that's not the case entirely. The fact that only the new Denon gear is going to be getting certain features hints at hardware support going bye bye for some devices.
@Americo Perez Well, if you're speaking of the old denon gear that's not part of the prime eco system, of course, it won't be supported. But they made the entire prime system to be updated until the chips can't support new technology updates. It's been 6 years since the first prime units hit the stores (SC-5000), and the units still work as well as any new unit or controller in the same prime line. While the pioneer nxs line is constantly upgraded every three years with minimal improvements but just enough improvements to make previous models almost irrelevant. So yea, I'll put my money with Denon cause I get amazing quality at a reasonable price, and I don't constantly have to update my gear every three years. Thank you.
@@sinistai.z.3622 I was talking about fairly new devices like the Prime Go. That stuff isn't all that old but it already is basically being obsoleted even though it has the same software.
its about time, if they had decent effects originally I might not have bought all my pioneer gear, I love new DJ gear, and I dont care how much it costs... cheap or costly. Its all a value proposition.
Touch FX is such a beautiful thing to have for people like me with an FX-less mixer e.g. Xone96! I don't use FX much myself, but other DJs playing on my Xone at our parties have been asking about "DJM style FX" every time :D Denon has taken things to yet another level here imo.
Hey guys! I'm a little late updating my controller. How do you get the drop down sampler to work? When I double tap on roll all I'm seeing is the 1/8-1/4T and so on.
That quick glance over the Smart Playlist. I tried to set some parameters. theres no options. Many fields have only one parameter, contains. Its gonna need more then one parameter to be like it needs to be. eq: Genre, Contains Deep, Does not Contain House. or Contains Tech, does not Contain Techno. Etc...
Hi Phil, awesome informative video (as always) any idea if they've created beat jump for the mixstream pro in this update or if you know of any work arounds where beat jump can be achieved
This looks awesome! I'm excited to update all my gear. I wondered if you guys have ever thought about making a DJ course that does a deep dive on properly using effects. I feel I could be doing a lot more with all the effects I have available to me. I know you guys go over effects a little bit in different courses. But If you guys made a whole course dedicated to all the ins and outs of DJ effects I would definitely buy it!
I tried to put your tipp from one of your course with the „key smartplaylist“ but there are not enough rules to keep all keys in there. Do you know one way that it will be possible? For Example like the rules in virtual DJ, where you can put it, in one line.
Very shortly Engine will be updated to feature what we call “fuzzy key mixing”, which means the key sync button will work properly and you won’t have to do any of this.
OK so I have a question for you I mistakenly did a 3.2.1 update and I do not like the changes they did to the effects how can I reinstall 3.1.0 on the prime4 standalone controller?
Hi I don't see as many of the touch effects options (only 4) on Mixstream Pro, do you know if that's normal? Also I don't see the drop sampler feature.. Normal? Thanks
I have the Mixstream Pro and so far it says there are no updates for it. I did upgrade my windows laptop version to 3.1 but the controller is stuck at 2.3.1 I believe it is. How can I get it up to 3.1? Thx.
Hi Phil Im a huge fan of yours buddy I will be coming out of retirement to do free live broadcasts in near future, just wanted to ask you if you can advise me if there is any way of adding engine effects like this denon dj 3 on my roland 808 controller?
I was wondering the same thing. All the other stuff is cool but the update I was waiting for is the Daylight Mode which I really could use on my Denon Prime Go.
@@digitaldjtips good cuz all tha other stuff is cool but day mode makes sense on the new portable gear. Those are outdoor gear. Pointless if I can’t see my tracks 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
How come I can't have my auto gate time Parameter past 1/4 it use to go to 1/8 and 1/16 1/4 doesn't sound right with drum and bass it's better at 1/8 with the auto gate sound fx. In addition I enjoy using the blue fx button and the sweep fade fx nob at the same time as my pushing the blue fx button for the auto gate fx so I can see my songs and time them better. I do not care for this upgraded version to where I am no longer able to do this, and I am forced to use the touch screen. Please help me fix my autogate fx time parameter nob back to 1/8 and 1/16 🙏❤❤❤

It does indeed!

@@americoperez810 still much better than some other brands... cough...... Pioneer...... cough.......

The effects have improved tremendously. Great job Denon!
Yes, they have.

I absolutely love my Prime 4, and with all these new and cool updates, it just keeps getting better!

they are a lot of fun
This is awesome 🤩
Fantastic
Simplemente impresionante
Does Engine dj have instant double feature so i can transport it to a button on my mixstream pro
Love my prime go.
Us too!
Gig done. Time to update. Can't wait.
Have fun!
Hey guys! I'm a little late updating my controller. How do you get the drop down sampler to work? When I double tap on roll all I'm seeing is the 1/8-1/4T and so on.
Pretty much everything the mixer can do then (effects wise) still tho nice touch by Denon.
Great stuff.. remind me of the Pioneer ddj rzx but upgraded

Sorry, no on both counts.
@@digitaldjtips much appreciated for replying Phil
Does this upgrade apply to the prime 2?
Yes
Numark Mixstream pro have a beatjump???
No 🙄 and no Smart Playlists as well 😭

Not sure you can
A video on how and when to use these effects would be greatly appreciated. When I use them they just seem to sound out of place.
Thanks for the idea 😀
I read something about the Prime4 having Bluetooth, not sure what that's for but I'll be stoked to find out.
It does, it'll be enabled in the summer.
@@digitaldjtipsprime go aswell ?
Hi I don't see as many of the touch effects options (only 4) on Mixstream Pro, do you know if that's normal?
Also I don't see the drop sampler feature.. Normal?
Thanks
Some of the new fx are Denon only
I smell a denon prime go mk2 cooking somewhere
I'd personally love that, I love the Prime Go
When will you come out with an Engine DJ class????????
It's on our list
I know this is off topic but I just bought the mixed stream pro go and I don't know What kind of case to get that fits it so that I can protect it?
Not sure to be honest!
I just found a case for it at Sweetwater
do the new FX apply to the x1850 mixer?
No, they are for the decks/controllers.
I thought they were doing the white screen for out door play on this update???
If it is in this update, we missed it
@Digital DJ Tips Apparently its rumoured to be on firmware v 3.2.0 Along with the alleged Bluetooth update.
Apparently its rumoured to be on firmware v 3.2.0 Along with the alleged Bluetooth update.
do new fx XY work in controller mode?
Not tested but I guess not
great
just had a shot there wow well btr,jst need to watch don't play with it to much 😂
Yeah, it's tempting!
Denon, I'm giving an idea here: let it be able to turn comments into tag list and it's gonna rock for the multi genre foks!
Good thinking - or just formal tags, like Rekordbox.
@@digitaldjtips Yes, even normal tags would help a lot!
I have the Mixstream Pro and so far it says there are no updates for it. I did upgrade my windows laptop version to 3.1 but the controller is stuck at 2.3.1 I believe it is. How can I get it up to 3.1? Thx.
When you go to the settings on the unit it should just prompt you, I'd ask the question of their support if you've got an issue.
Hi Phil Im a huge fan of yours buddy I will be coming out of retirement to do free live broadcasts in near future, just wanted to ask you if you can advise me if there is any way of adding engine effects like this denon dj 3 on my roland 808 controller?
Roland 808 has great Serato effects, so you'll have to use those
I’m assuming the new/touch FX don’t apply to SC6000/X1850 combos?
Touch FX apply to the SC5/6 players yes, haven't found a video demoing it yet though.
I just updated and it works and is actually pretty cool
@@inertiamonsterMy SC5000M decks have been in storage for nearly a year. They need dusting off and updating
Day mode???
I was wondering the same thing. All the other stuff is cool but the update I was waiting for is the Daylight Mode which I really could use on my Denon Prime Go.
Pretty sure they've already confirmed that is coming across the range.
@@digitaldjtips good cuz all tha other stuff is cool but day mode makes sense on the new portable gear. Those are outdoor gear. Pointless if I can’t see my tracks 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
New different colour waveforms would be nice. Shame no Bluetooth on the P4
There is! They are activating it across the range this summer.
This is next level . . . AI kiss my ass lol 😂😂💥🎤👋🏻🕺🕺🕺🕺
Streaming?
What do you mean?
I bet it's Stems
Maybe...
Denon gets better with every update...BIG NEWS...gotta be STEMS for Prime 4 users.....yeah. .. Yeah...
We'll see...
Ffs, so I wouldn’t get it on Prime 4 ?
The "mystery feature", no.
How come I can't have my auto gate time Parameter past 1/4 it use to go to 1/8 and 1/16 1/4 doesn't sound right with drum and bass it's better at 1/8 with the auto gate sound fx.

Sorry, not sure what to suggest here!
This is a step in the right direction
Yes
Hi Phill. :)
It would be good to say that touch effects are also present on the flagship SC6000/M and SC5000/M players.
He pretty much said it at the start
Yes, they are
The 'touch effects' panel has that awful gimmicky Kaoss pad look about it.
