Stop development of the BDJ. Now there is only Future Decks!!

The Xylio has officially declared the end of B-DJ development, so it stops to version 1.2. The long-awaited upgrade, which should be available August, disappear at all from the software house plans. Developers say sorry for this , and they say to have tried to release an important updates that should resolve at all the myriad of problems which we knows very well.I think that, now all the “unfortunate” owners of BCD2000, struggling with a software and with the total lack of support.If I think that Behringer still to sell the BCD2000, I dont know why people should buy this product yet.

 

On the other hand I am not shifting blame on Xylio, but rather on the same Behringer, this new fact reinforces even more the value of our petition. From the Xylio there is a positive aspect. The software house, obviously aware of its limitations, decided to concentrate all its efforts on developing Future Decks Pro, software certainly more mature than BDJ, and with a discrete potential. So in the end the effort is certainly not by Behringer.

 

The Xylio to show that cares about its users, offers Future Decks Pro, now just released in version 1.06, at symbolic price of 12.95 euros FutureDecks Pro has the same look of B-DJ (practically uses the same skin), integrates seamlessly with BCD2000/3000, has all of the features of BDJ plus many more, it is much more stable and most important thing is updated regularly (Xylio declare a new version every 1-2 months). It also runs on Mac.

We want the upgrade!!!

We ask to Behringer that is granted to all BCD2000 customers, a firmware update and a software upgrade to Traktor LE, all this completely free. In accordance with the right to have purchased a product in conformity with advertised expectations. At the moment the BCD2000 (unlike BCD3000), is unusable because of serious malfunctions of the Xylio B-DJ software, and a total lack of support from Xylio software house

BCD3000 and Virtual Dj, for people who don’t want to wait for…..

I have hoped that the guys of the Atomix would have done a miracle, but the VDJ configuration for the BCD3000 is late to arrive. Not even the mythical Max Mora who was superfast with 2000, have produced anything yet. Atomix says that the next version will have the support to the BCD3000, but at the moment nothing to do with fabulous version 5 of Virtual DJ. So the only thing that remain to us is to use the generic midi configuration and loading XML created by our friend Simonej . These xml file with some small modifications made from myself are downloadable here. This configuration works well, even if some configurations seem go lost when you save the file( small bug of VDJ?). In particular you need to verify, after loaded it, that the settings of the JOG are on “invert” and that the buttons of pitch bend fine of DeckA are setted up on “temporary”. There are more configurations that can be added, and that you will be able to make yourself by the VDJ panel, thanks to very good midi learn function. The very big bug to fix is that all bcd3000 leds doesn’t works. But I’m developing a script file, to Bome Midi Traslator, to fix this.The file will be available soon , I will give you news about it on the blog.
