Found the JOG WHEEL ISSUE FLX6 pioneer controller/ laptop grounding

Well in the end the isolator help to fix the ground issue but those noises comes from the laptop charger; I need to find a solution for it ;the seller using a MacBook to do the test and working fine with a MacBook without an isolator but in my case in my laptop is impossible to scratch, anyway can be a solution buy a MacBook for it ? I’m not sure cos I watched another clips people having grounding issues with pioneer controllers and they are using MacBooks… so in my case the solution will be fix the noise coming from the charger .. send me your solutions for these kinda issues and share this video maybe could help someone out there

No problem here. I use Macbook Pro Mid 2012.

[@gypsyofcruzz]

Exactly bro; in the service place what I sent it more then twice they used MacBooks to test it out; and not issue was founded… mine is a windows laptop full made of plastics. So I think the MacBook case made in metal is the key for it. My solution in my last video about it was; cutting the ground in the laptop charger and it’s all good running well

hi ! do you use mac osx sierra for serato or recordbox?

[@DJShuffle07]

Thank goodness that my controller is still doing fine but yes sometime it has ground issues a quite a while

[@gypsyofcruzz]

really check the laptop what in my case is the laptop charger it doesnt come grounded, i can play doing scratch without any issue if the laptop is unplugged

[@gypsyofcruzz]

In my last video I solved the problem cutting the ground from the laptop charger you can watch now

​@@gypsyofcruzzi have the problem too in my ddj 800. i m not sure is the controller problem or grounding problem. i m only can scratch when the song is stop. the jog wheel become nudge mode when i scratch during the song playing. the bpm keep on changing at beat fx screen on ddj 800

[@DjGabrielEscobar973]

Why are the speakers connected to the laptop and not just directly to the controller? Also have you tried A heavy duty surge protector? Something like a Furman SS6B.

hello my friend,to solve this problem with the noise of the charger put some electric tape and cover the ground metal clips on the male socket of the charger ,so when you plug it in the female power socket the ground metal part will not make any contact together ,cheers!

[@gypsyofcruzz]

thanks for your comment bro i was thinking to just cut this clip, i will put some tape and see. Regards from China

[@Voshiri]

thanks that helped, is it safe to use it like that?

[@Voshiri]

@@gypsyofcruzz did you try it? is it safe to use?

[@gypsyofcruzz]

@@Voshiri yes bro; check my last video about it; I showed how to do it and also to modify the jog wheels

[@aun93.official]

I have this issue on my Flex-6 can fix this use isolate Di box because can up ground life for cut ground but noise from charger cut of ground on adapter can fix this issue

[@JoshJamesification]

Maybe use the cable that came with it

[@lgoody7306]

How did U get the platter out did u take off the back

[@gypsyofcruzz]

When you unscrew the rear cover, the plates are left uncovered, just remove the pressure springs from the plate with the fixing mechanism and then, slowly turning the plate, you will see that the holes coincide with the fixing screws of said plate, remove them and push the plate out

@@gypsyofcruzz thank u so much man

[@hamusicode]

bro dont i need to buy the same product for USB? because i unplugged the rca cables and i have the same problem only when i use it with USB

[@gypsyofcruzz]

Hello bro; in my case I explained all in my last video; it was the laptop charger in the end I just cut the ground in the charger and it’s running well so far. How I said in the video the isolator worked but just when the laptop was unplugged I was using the controller fine til the battery died; but it’s not fine cos in the moment you need charge the laptop the controller will start again to do the same noises or stop working the jog plate. So better cut the ground from the charger it will not affect anything in your laptop.

[@gypsyofcruzz]

Also I found a video on KZbin the guy was showing a product what isolate the data and the power from the same usb cable to separate one; it not was for this controller but the isolated the signal And the audio was clear

[@hamusicode]

@@gypsyofcruzz i unplug the laptops charger but i still have the same problem

[@gypsyofcruzz]

@@hamusicode well what I learned from it; what’s causing this issue is the ground ; can be the charger like in my case ; can be the speakers if the are powered also; I have all the cables balanced; so cables are not the problem ; then the controller is connected to a mixer what is a Yamaha mg06x then to the speakers the laptop is muted it just use the usb from the laptop to get the power and data from recordbox software. But in my case was the charger when it was unplugged works wonderful but plugged not; so it was the problem cut and done .. you need go step by step and try every little detail cos it can be something what you have from of you and you are not paying attention , I’m sure it’s ground but is your task to find it out

[@hamusicode]

@@gypsyofcruzz i got it bro i will keep trying different ways, thank you for writing. Have a nice day, all the best :)

Dude hold shift end press jog cutter

[@geraldfer]

Thank you...I don't even know how I did it...or what made it do that 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

[@jamie.264]

so its just a grounding problem?

[@gypsyofcruzz]

Yes. In my case was it. These gaming laptops they are not good for music prod, or dijing it make too noise and grounding. So in my case was my laptop charger. For djing now I’m using Mac. Or if you like windows use a normal one. Nothing like huge laptop with gaming graphics it’s not needed. And what do is more problems.

[@jamie.264]

@@gypsyofcruzz I'm having the issue when I'm using my MacBook Air strangely enough, regardless of if its plugged in or not, tried it with my pc and the issue went away.

My jogwheels make a scraping noise when I turn them

[@eramsdj]

Hi men i from Costa Rica, i have a video in my channel how you fix this problem the jog wheel ,

[@gypsyofcruzz]

Hola hermano si lo había visto, muy bueno, ya resolví el problema en mi caso era la laptop 💻, lo publique en mi canal también y una modificación para hacer scratch también. Ya no cuento con ese controlador, por ahora no tengo ninguno, ya que no encuentro uno que tenga todo lo que quiero , creo que es algo normal no puede ser todo perfecto.
