Hello everyone,
I just finished setting up two Pioneer DDJ-FLX4 controllers on VirtualDJ and everything worked flawlessly—no mapping edits required and no device conflicts, even though both units report the same name. I hope this write-up helps anyone who’s on the fence about adding a second FLX4 to their rig.
Hardware & Software
• Controllers: 2× Pioneer DDJ-FLX4
• PC: Windows 11 (similar steps on macOS)
• VirtualDJ version: 2023 build (latest)
• Drivers: Stock ASIO drivers installed automatically
Step-by-Step Setup
1. Plug in the first DDJ-FLX4 via USB.
2. Launch VirtualDJ. The deck panel will show “DDJ FLX4” controlling decks 1 & 2.
3. Plug in the second DDJ-FLX4. Wait a few seconds—VirtualDJ auto-detects it as a separate unit and assigns decks 3 & 4.
4. Go to Settings > Audio and verify each controller appears as its own soundcard.
5. No additional mapping files or manual deck assignments needed.
What I Was Worried About
• Duplicate device names causing conflicts
• Needing to copy/edit XML mapping files
• VirtualDJ not supporting 4-deck control with identical hardware
What Actually Happened
VirtualDJ handled both controllers seamlessly. Each unit got its own input/output channels and deck assignments out of the box. I never had to dive into the mapping section.
Tips & Questions
• Make sure you’re on the latest VirtualDJ build—older versions may not auto-assign decks correctly.
• If you use a USB hub, choose a powered one to avoid bandwidth/power issues.
• Has anyone tried this on macOS? Any extra steps you’d recommend?
Hope this helps you decide—if you’re hesitating, rest assured that adding a second FLX4 is true plug-and-play. Happy mixing!
