Topic: Pioneer DDJ S1 not working

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I was using the Numark Mixtrack Pro and traded it in on a new Pioneer DDJ S1 controller. I did not have any issues with the Numark unit controlling the VDJ software.

I am using the latest version of VDJ 7

I did the following:

1. I went to Pioneer's website and downloaded DDJ-S1 Driver (Ver. 1.001): Updated 25-Apr 2011.
2. I installed on a Windows 7 64 bit laptop.
3. I have rebooted computer after driver install.
4. I have connected Pioneer unit to power supply and to computer via USB.
5. I connected audio cables to amp/speakers
5. All lights on Pioneer unit are lit.
6. Virtual DJ is set to use the S1`mappings.
7 Using the mouse I can play music on both decks on the laptop. I hear sound ok through speakers.
8. I cannot use a single button on the Pioneer unit. They are all lit, but play, crossfader, etc do not do anything.

I thought that since the S1 is supported by VDJ 7 that is was a plug and play operation.

Any ideas.

thanks

I played with the sound settings and got the Pioneer to work.

wow man im having the same problem but i'm working with a mac book pro not sure what to do hope some one can help me asap im working tonight n knowing i have a controller that i can't use kills me man damn help please
 

I had the same problem with my pioneer S1. It would take me sometimes 30 minutes to get it working. I then tried the steps below and it now works.

I installed the Itch software disc provided with the the unit and then upgraded to Itch 2 on the internet.

I now start itch and verify pioneer S1 unit is working.
I then close Itch and start Virtual VJ 7.
I may have to power on/off the S1 but then the S1 works correctly.
