Firmware & Drivers

Firmware: No firmware update is available at the time this manual was written, but always make sure your device is on the latest firmware. Check availability at https://www.pioneerdj.com/en/support/software/DDJ-400/

Drivers There is no driver to install for both Windows and Mac OSX. The DDJ-400 is a USB Class Compliant device and your Operating System (Windows/mac OS) will install and use the standard audio driver when the device is connected to your Mac/PC with a USB cable

VirtualDJ Setup

Download and install VirtualDJ 8 from http://www.virtualdj.com/download/index.html (in case you have not done already)

Once VirtualDJ 8 is launched, a Login Window will appear. Login with your virtualdj.com account.

A Pro Infinity, a Subscriber or a PLUS License is required to fully use the Pioneer DDJ-400. Without any of the above Licenses, the controller will operate for 10 minutes each time you restart VirtualDJ.

A detection window will appear next asking to use or not the pre-defined audio setup with the built-in sound card of the DDJ-400.

Click on the "Use Soundcard" button if speakers are connected to the Master Output of the DDJ-400. You can still change that from Settings->AUDIO tab.

Click to OK.

The unit is now ready to operate with VirtualDJ.

MIDI Operation

The unit should be visible in the CONTROLLERS tab of Config and the “factory default” available/selected from the Mappings drop-down list. The factory default Mapping offers the functions described in this Manual, however those can be adjusted to your needs via VDJ Script actions.
