We are aware of an issue that can result in a failed connection when connecting a Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX10 to Serato DJ Pro 3.0.4 or higher, on both macOS and Windows computers
Affected customers will not be able to establish a connection with their DDJ-FLX10, even after installing the correct drivers and meeting all other conditions for a successful connection to Serato DJ Pro, and may additionally see the following error message in the yellow status bar at the bottom of Serato DJ Pro's user interface, among others:
- Windows: Failed to connect: MIDI
- macOS: Error loading MIDI Xml
This is due to an earlier batch of devices shipping with a lower than expected firmware.
Serato DJ Pro 3.0.4 or higher requires a minimum firmware version of v1.11 for the DDJ-FLX10 to connect, so any firmware version above 1.11 will ensure your FLX10 can connect to Serato DJ Pro without the above issue.

macOS: Applications > Pioneer > DDJ-FLX10 > DDJ-FLX10 Setting Utility
