Cross DJ with Pioneer DDJ SB and Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5

After a few weeks trying to find the answer and trying various things myself, I’m hoping you can help me with this set up.

I am using Cross DJ Pro on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5. I want to use my Pioneer DDJ SB controller to control it. The tablet support USB 2.0, and I have a powered USB hub with USB 3.0 ports. The Samsung tablet has a USB 2.0 OTG cable (I also have the Samsung OTG adapter that came with my Samsung S7). I have tried the following combinations, none of which work:

  1. Tablet with OTG cable.USB lead from tablet to one of the USB hub 3.0 ports. USB lead (provided with controller) from Pioneer controller to another 3.0 port on the USB hub.

  2. Tablet with OTG cable. USB lead (provided with controller) from Pioneer controller to the tablet.

  3. Tablet with OTG cable.USB lead from tablet to USB In port on USB Hub. USB lead (provided with controller) from Pioneer controller to one 3.0 port on the USB hub.

  4. Tablet with OTG cable.USB lead from tablet to one of the USB hub 3.0 ports. USB lead (provided with controller) from Pioneer controller to another 3.0 port on the USB hub. USB lead running from USB In port on USB Hub to PC

The tablet is running Android 6.01

The youtube video from Cross DJ suggests that scenario 1 should work, it does not for me

Equipment I am using is below. The leads and USB hub are all working fine with other equipment, the OTG cable supports other item such as flash drives,so I also know there is no fault with the tablet.

HELP !

Cross DJ doesn’t recognise the controller in any of the scenarios described.

The controller definitely works, when plugged into a PC. It also works when plugged in directly to my Samsung s7 mobile phone (although the audio is poor when using rca leads to a speaker)

The tablet also works with Cross DJ pro app independently

Have you tried a different set of cables?

Yes have tried different cables, still no go.

4

Including the OTG?

Are you powering the controller from the wall socket?

Hi tx 4 the reply

Yep otg cable works using for a different purpose.

Controller is usb bus powered, so plugged into powered USB hub

Could it be that the tablet doesn’t supply enough power?

If the controller is plugged into the powered usb hub, it gets power. The tablet using the otg when also plugged into the usb hub get power to it, but the 2 don’t recognise each other. However when the controller is plugged directly into the tablet, it doesn’t power up
