The Next Beat by Tiësto SX1

Installation and Setup


  • Do I need a driver for SX1 or where can I find it?

    The SX1 doesn't need a driver on Windows or Mac. It is fully plug and play.

  • How can I update the firmware?

    The controller does not need to be updated and therefore firmware is not available.

  • How do I connect the DJ controller to a USB-C port directly?

    Use the standard USB cable to connect to USB. On the computer side this is a USB-A connector.
    If your computer only has a USB-C connector, you can directly connect the SX1 with a USC-C to USB-C cable.
    This cable is not included.

DJ Controller


  • I hear some noise like crackles and bleeps while I have no track playing

    Make sure you have no cell-phone directly placed near the DJ controller or cables. This can cause noise or a crackling sound.

DJ App & Music - Beatport

Beatport


  • What is Beatport?

    Beatport is a complete music library that you can use when creating your personal playlists for your DJ set. In addition, Beatport also has a DJ App which is made available exclusively on this website, without installing an App. You learn, play and build your own playlists by means of this Beatport DJ App and with the 30-day trial period and possibly an additional subscription you always have the latest charts at your disposal. With Beatport you keep discovering new tracks.

  • I don't hear sound via my headphones

    Update your Google Chrome or Edge browser to the latest version to make Multi Channel Audio possible. There is a page where we explain how to set your headphones for the Beatport DJ app. You can find this via support on this website.

  • The app does not fit properly on the screen

    You can adjust your zoom settings to get a better fit on the player. You can find this via the settings of your browser.

  • Do I have to buy a license for Beatport?

    If you want to use the Beatport (streaming) service, you need to buy a license. After registering with Beatport, you will receive a free 30-day trial, after which you can opt to take out a monthly subscription to continue using the music service.

  • On Beatport DJ on Mac I cant get any audio through my headphones

    Currently there is a bug in Chrome where multi channel audio like headphone audio is not properly routed. We have to wait until Google has updated the Chromium based browsers like Chrome and Edge.
