Syncing Lexicon to Djay Pro
Djay Pro is fully supported in Lexicon.
Close Djay Pro before you sync. Lexicon checks this and won't sync while Djay is running. Click Sync to DJ app at the bottom of the sidebar, choose Djay Pro, pick your options and click Sync. After the sync, open Djay Pro again to see your tracks and playlists.
Lexicon also updates Djay's own search and sort indexes during the sync, so Djay does not have to rebuild its library the next time it starts.
Grey or unplayable tracks
If your synced tracks show as grey and can't be played in Djay, Djay doesn't have access to the folder your music is in. Add that folder in Djay:
- In the Djay sidebar, make sure
My Filesis enabled. - Click the plus icon, browse to the drive or folder with your music and add the entire drive or folder.
- Restart Djay Pro and the grey tracks will be playable.
Beatgrids
On macOS, a beatgrid with more than one marker (for example a fluid beatgrid with tempo changes) is written to Djay as a Fluid Beatgrid. A beatgrid with one marker is written as a normal beatgrid. With Don't touch my grids enabled, Lexicon leaves the beatgrids in Djay as they are.
iOS / iCloud support
If you use Djay on your iPhone or iPad with iCloud sync, the tracks that Lexicon adds to Djay on your Mac also sync to Djay on iOS, together with their cues. You don't need to add the tracks to Djay yourself first.
Keep in mind:
- A change Lexicon makes to a track that is already in iCloud (for example new cues) does not reach iOS until Djay itself changes something on that track.
- Tracks that an older Lexicon version added to Djay may not sync to iOS. Remove those tracks from Djay and sync again.
Limitations
Djay only supports two loops and one active loop. Any active loop you have will always be put in your first loop slot in Djay. Make sure to enable the active loop setting in Djay to enable it. In the preferences go to Song Loading and check Activate Saved Loop 1.
Any loops beyond the first two will be dropped on sync.
Smartlists with a rule that Djay doesn't support are synced as normal playlists with the matching tracks. On Windows, all smartlists are synced as normal playlists. You can also choose All smartlists to playlists in the sync options to do this on Mac too.
The smartlist field Release Date is not supported. Djay can use multiple OR operators in a smartlist, this is not supported when importing into Lexicon. Only one OR is supported.
