night person's KORG Kaoss DJ for Algoriddim Djay Pro (Mac)
Description and Instructions
I use a Traktor X1+Z1+F1 combo at home and for gigs - but my trusty KORG Kaoss DJ controller is always in my backpack for those emergency party situations.
Thanks to its Spotify integration, I use Djay as my 'portable' app for basic mixing (which means it's also great for taking requests in the club - but don't tell anyone) - however, I find it to be limited in its transport controls vs. Traktor.
This mapping upgrades all of that, and works as per the 'out-of-the-box' KORG instruction manual... whilst retaining all the power of that awesome Kaoss Pad.
The bits that don't work, however, are due to interoperability because this hardware was originally built for use with Serato - so there are a couple of fiddly bits to be discovered, but that's all part of the fun, right?!
All feedback welcome, as well as any improvements.
Much love, Tom xx

Hello! Thank you for this. Do you know if it works also with Rekordbox? i've this issue that RB recognize the that my Korg is connected but the Korg show only the Standalone message so it's impossible to mapping or using it with the software. I've also tried with some hack trick with the Audio Midi Setup that seems working for every controller but fot the Korg :(
Anyone has a solution? Thanks

Thanx so much for your work! It works properly with some bugs as written here with the LED's but probably that will get fixed with patience and more time. The third cue-LED works if you mark the midi button in the menue. So thank you again! Best regards from Germany=)

there's no way to pre-cue songs, splitting audio only works internally. is that correct? thanks

Does this also work for windows?

Oh yeah!

You can split the audio by going to audio settings on Windows, go to device options and on the advanced tab under default format choose 4 channel and be happy!!!!

Thanks so much for this, working great!
Just to add where to put this file on MacOS, since it took me a while to find (and Algoriddim incorrectly states the location on their site)...
/Library/Application Support/Algoriddim/MIDI Mappings/

with Djay loaded, just click the file once downloaded and your Mac will add it to the list! may need to reconnect the device after this... not sure. Enjoy! 🦉 xx

Thank you so much for this!! Works great, jog wheels work for me either to cue quickly or to touch and slow down or speed up the track. No scratching function but nicely done!

Hi Nigo. I've been using my Kaoss DJ with Rekordbox DJ for a while now. I think that it has to be connected before you start Rekordbox otherwise it won't be recognised. You may also need to install the driver if you haven't already.
