[FIXED]

• XDJ-700, XDJ-1000: Froze while touching the needle search strip and the jog dial at the same time.
• When moving a loop forwards or backwards, it went out of sync even with QUANTIZE and SYNC on.
• MASTER TEMPO was turned off when rebooted.
• After changing the LABEL field and then using the tab button to navigate to the GENRE field, the keyboard focus disappeared and impossible to type in the GENRE field.
• LOOP IN/out on CDJ blinked when calling MEMORY CUE while the CDJ-2000 was connected via Pro DJ LINK.
• When calling HOT CUE/LOOP during Pause or Cue Standby in Export mode, the playback did not pause at the HOT CUE point.
• DDJ-SB2: Headphones audio output level did not change when turning MIXING knob while PC MASTER OUT.
• HOT CUE did not start on a deck when paused if GATE playback was disabled and SYNC was enabled.
• When adding unanalyzed tracks and playing on a deck with QUANTIZE on, CUE point could not be set after analysis.
• Some languages could not be read on Windows 10.
• When HOT CUE was deleted, colour of the next HOT CUE changed.
• Track analysis took long.
• Loading of some video files to a deck took long.
• The waveform zoom was not the same on some decks making beat matching almost impossible.
• CDJ-2000: A LOOP instead of a CUE was set when a user tried to set a CUE.
• Crash occurred when setting ACTIVE CENSOR IN/OUT.
• Crash sometimes occurred when opening Preferences and changing settings.
• Windows: Recording of Master out was unavailable while DVS was enabled because the Master out was switched to the DVS signal.
• When multiple HOT CUEs were set and deleted one by one, sometimes they were not deleted.
• Improved stability and fixed other minor issues.
