XDJ Mod Studio v0.9 (XDJ-700, firmware 1.15)

Open-source mods for the Pioneer DJ XDJ-700, loaded into the deck's memory
over USB. Nothing is flashed: switch the deck off and on and it is stock
again. You need your own official XDJ-700 v1.15 update file (from Pioneer
DJ's support site); the app checks it and builds everything from it.

Apple Silicon Mac, macOS 14 or newer. First launch: right-click the app → Open.

Tested on a real deck

  • RGB and 3-band waveforms — the overview strip and the big centre
    waveform, from the colour data rekordbox already exports.
  • Live key shift — PERFORM › KEY SHIFT moves the key up or down while
    the track plays (MASTER TEMPO on); tempo stays put and the panel shows
    the track's real key.
  • Live themes — step through colour themes from MY SETTINGS; OFF
    brings back the exact stock look.
  • Live stems — mute vocals / drums / bass / other from PERFORM ›
    STEMS. A mute is heard after about 30 seconds.
  • Beat jump pads — PERFORM › BEAT JUMP: tap to jump, swipe the row for
    1 up to 64 beats.

Working in the emulator, not yet tested on a deck

These run on the deck's own firmware in the emulator, so they should work
on a real deck too, but nobody has tried them on one yet:

  • Faster stem mute (beta) — rewrites the audio the deck has already
    buffered, so a mute is heard in under a second in the emulator.
  • Phase meter — this deck's beats and downbeats above the waveform.
  • Vinyl brake length — MY SETTINGS › [VINYL BRAKE], 0.5× to 15×.
  • 8 hot cues — A–H, in pages of three.
  • FLAC and Opus playback.

Known issues

  • The emulator's audio stutters (the emulated audio chip runs slower than
    real time). Browsing, loading and the screens are fine.

Safety

Everything lives in the deck's memory; a power-cycle always returns it to
stock. The optional Permanent (UPD) tab builds a firmware file you
would flash yourself. That one can brick a deck, has never been tested
on hardware, and the app says so before it builds anything.

Open source

All of it — the Mac app, the emulator, every mod and the tools that build
them — is on GitHub under the MIT licence. Pioneer DJ's firmware is not
included; you add your own copy.
