Hello all, my issues is DDJ-FLX4, I don't get to see any visual feedback in Serato DJ pro with Smart CFX.
only the “Release FX” button works (I can see when I turn the switch in the software) Smart CFX button turn, then I do not see in the software. Can I fix this?

All Software is Updated (FW)

Unfortunately smart CFX is a Rekordbox focussed feature and not so much a Serato feature, Pioneer have done this on purpose so more users will use their Rekorbox app instead of Serato. Pioneer have done this to many of their new controllers.

Thank you for your answer.
That explains everything.
Too bad that something like this was not made known, I thought if Serato Label is on it then all function works.

I hear you, You feel bamboozled, into buying the controller, but its been a tactic of pioneer since the DDJ1000, It's pioneers tactic to gain more Rekordbox users.

These days you really have to google the hell out of any product before you buy, in that way your very clear about what your buying,

here's an example of Pioneer and Alphatheta tactic, you buy a new controller and you have instant access to Rekordbox use straight away, Pioneer, then delays the support for Serato,
its all about business :)
