Denon Dj Dn Hc1000s Serato Scratch Live Usb Midi Controller

When you plug the HC1000 in, does any lights on the unit blink real fast? for a second or two and then turn off? The two CUE 1 buttons, should flash.... If they dont flash at all, then its a problem with the Denon. If there are lights that flash, but are the CUE 2,3,4, buttons, then the actual denon unit is set on the wrong midi channel.... its very easy to switch it back to midi channel 1...
ive cut and copied the instructions from the denon hc1000s manual to tell u how to get it back to channel 1...
Hope this helps cause i had the same problem....
MIDI CHANNELS
The DN-HC1000S has four MIDI channels. Channel 1 is the default and is reserved for when using the DN-HC1000S as a native controller, leaving channels 2-4 free to be assigned to other functions in Scratch Live. You can choose the channel by pressing Shift + Files to select channel 1, Shift + Browse for channel 2, Shift + History for channel 3 and Shift + Prepare for channel 4.
NOTE: When you unplug the DN-HC1000S it will remember the last MIDI channel used and will default to that when re-connected. When you connect the DN-HC1000S the Cue 1, 2, 3 or 4 buttons will flash to let you know which MIDI channel is currently being used.
NOTE: When assigning the rotary knobs on the DN-HC1000S to functions in Scratch Live make sure the MIDI data type is set to relative on/off [to do this click the desired MIDI control, turn the rotary knob then press the C key to select the MIDI data type]

Wow! Based on what I'm seeing/reading, I'll definitely be picking one of these up as soon as it's available. Finally, a DJ-specific controller to compete against regular MIDI controllers that are always band-aids for what we do. Appears to be a nice, compact , tactile solution for keeping hands off the laptop. Also appears to be more of a professional solution than a lot of the plasticky toys everywhere.
One thing though that's missing and what I think it really needs is ABS/REL/INT button(s). Think about those dreaded situations like whenever a hairball lands on your needle and you needs to very quickly jump out of ABSOLUTE or RELATIVE mode and into INTERNAL mode in order to save your mix and remove obstruction from needle and then jump back to original mode. Those emergency buttons should really be on this piece keeping with the theme of staying away from the laptop and keeping your eyes/hands on the mixer/controller.
Think the USB connector needs to be duplicated on the back in addition to the side for different setup scenarios.
Anyway, kudos Denon for addressing a much needed SL solution.
