Frequently Asked Questions - Xjam ESI
How do I connect the Xjam to my computer?
Use the included USB cable to connect the Xjam's USB port to a free USB port on your computer. Install the required drivers (if any) from the ESI website. The device will appear as an audio and MIDI interface.
Which DJ software is compatible with the Xjam?
The Xjam works with Serato DJ Lite (ready-to-play), Virtual DJ, and Traktor Pro (as a MIDI controller). Check ESI's website for a full list and mapping files.
How do I map the Xjam's controls in my software?
In the software's MIDI mapping section, select the Xjam as the input device. Then assign functions (like play, cue, faders) by moving the corresponding knob or fader on the Xjam. Many software have pre-made mappings.
Why is there audio latency or crackling?
Ensure you are using the Xjam's ASIO or Core Audio driver (if available) and that the buffer size is set appropriately (e.g., 256 samples). Close other applications using audio. Update the firmware and drivers from ESI.
How do I update the firmware on the Xjam?
Download the latest firmware from the ESI support page. Connect the Xjam to your computer, run the firmware updater, and follow on-screen instructions. Do not disconnect during the update.
Can I use the Xjam without a computer?
No, the Xjam is a USB controller and requires a computer for power and signal processing. It is not a standalone mixer.
How do I enable the built-in effects?
Press the FX button above the channel strip. Use the FX select knob to choose an effect (e.g., filter, echo). Adjust the wet/dry knob to blend the effect. The FX can be assigned to a channel via the FX assign button.
How do I record my mix using the Xjam?
Connect the Xjam's RCA outputs to your computer's line input or use the digital output. Alternatively, in your DJ software, enable recording and set the audio source to the Xjam's master output. Save as MP3 or WAV.
What should I do if a pad or fader becomes unresponsive?
First, test the device in another USB port or computer. If the issue persists, clean the pads/faders with a dry microfiber cloth. Do not use liquids. Contact ESI support if still faulty.
How do I clean and maintain my Xjam?
Unplug the Xjam. Wipe the surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water (not wet). Avoid any liquids near gaps. Store in a cool, dry place. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
