Engine DJ 3.4 software update – Bluetooth audio and keyboard support and more!
The Engine DJ v3.4.0 Software Update is a game-changer for DJs using Numark and Denon DJ hardware, broadening the horizons of digital music mixing. Now, with the introduction of Bluetooth audio input, DJs have even more audio source options at their fingertips. Whether streaming from a smartphone, tablet, or other Bluetooth-capable devices, the audio can be seamlessly integrated into your set, routed to the main output or a specific channel with complete control over volume and EQ.
The new update also brings Bluetooth keyboard support, revolutionizing the way DJs search for tracks wirelessly. This eliminates the need to fiddle with touch screens or knobs, making your setup cleaner and your searches quicker. Engine DJ v3.4.0 doesn’t just stop there; it also includes significant performance enhancements for both the Engine DJ OS and Desktop platforms, ensuring a smoother, more reliable experience across all supported hardware.
Engine DJ 3.2 – a whole host of new functions and upgrades
Engine DJ 3.2 is here! With a variety of new functions, modes and enhancements; the new firmware update has something for everyone including Engine OS and Engine Desktop units. The newly introduced Day Mode offers a user interface that is optimized for daylight use. You can activate this feature through the Control Center by selecting the new Layout option. Another major enhancement is the Fuzzy Key Mixing, which allows for more flexible mixing by synchronizing songs to the closest compatible key, reducing the risk of significant pitch jumps when syncing multiple tracks. However, you can always revert to the traditional “Strict” mode via the hardware’s Settings menu.
The FX Select feature introduces a new effect selection menu for both Main and Touch FX, enabling quick and easy effect selection via the touchscreen. Please note, for PRIME 4 and PRIME 4+, this feature currently only applies to Touch FX, with the Main FX selection menu set to be added in future releases. The update also brings Flex Gate FX, a revamped gate effect with various types that sync to the track’s phase, replacing the Auto Gate effect. Additionally, Numark Engine DJ devices now have the option to switch between Isolate and Normal mixer EQ types.
This release also includes numerous stability enhancements and improvements. For Engine DJ Desktop users, the update has improved downbeat detection capabilities for greater accuracy in identifying a track’s first beat. To utilize this enhancement, tracks will need to be reanalysed in Engine DJ Desktop. Lastly, this version also brings various stability enhancements and improvements to provide a smoother user experience.

The speakers feature a dedicated volume control – perfect for practicing and monitoring in low-level environments. The speakers feature custom-tuned drivers which provide powerful and rich sound reproduction.
High-definition touch screen and touch-sensitive scratch wheels
At the heart of the Mixstream Pro + is a crisp touchscreen display which allows you to interact with music, navigate between songs and toggle settings on the fly. Scratch and mix with confidence and precision with the six-inch touch-capacitive platters. You can switch between ‘Scratch’ and ‘Normal’ modes which adjusts the feel of the scratch wheels, for a truly authentic feel. One of the most unique features of the scratch wheels is the ‘Smart Scratch’ mode. The Smart Scratch feature ensures the music stays on beat after scratching is added to the mix.
Advanced EQ/FX section and dual-layer performance pads
Creating powerful transitions and memorable mixes has never been so easy. Combining the powerful onboard effects and the 3-band EQ, you can easily create massive transitions at the touch of a few buttons. The FX section is comprised of four different effects including Echo, Flanger, Delay and Phaser.
Used in conjunction with the 3-band EQ, you can blend between high, mid and low frequencies on either side of the deck to create seamless blends and dramatic mixes. Also included are eight dual-layer performance pads comprised of four varied pad modes: Cue, Saved Loop, Auto Loop, Roll. Large filter knobs provide hands-on control over the low/high frequencies for added flexibility. The possibilities are endless when combining elements of the pads, EQ, filtering and FX section.
