FIRMWARE MATRIX

What each firmware version fixed, deck by deck

Reviewed: 31 August 2026

Booth briefing. Read the firmware version off the unit, find it below, and you know which documented fixes it carries and which it does not yet. Every entry comes from AlphaTheta's own published change histories, 203 documented fixes across 55 models. On gear you control, sit at or above the version shown for it. On gear you do not control, this tells you what to plan around.

Why this lives under Pioneer DJ. This page covers the whole AlphaTheta ecosystem, the Pioneer DJ badged gear and the AlphaTheta badged gear alike, because they share one firmware line, one rekordbox and one PRO DJ LINK. Its address has not moved since the ecosystem had a single brand name, and it stays where it is on purpose: the links and the search results pointing here are worth more to a DJ in a booth than a tidier URL. The current brand has its own hub.

Finding the version on the unit

On a CDJ or DJM, the firmware version is in the utility menu, and on players it is also shown on the startup screen while the unit boots. Check it at soundcheck, not at doors. If a venue deck sits below the safe version, you cannot fix that in the booth, but you can stop it surprising you.

Players

CDJ-3000X

A young unit. AlphaTheta has published no defect fix for it, so there is nothing to report here. This section stays empty until a documented one exists.

3.21 Recording Audio could not be recorded on macOS 10.13.2.
3.19 Audio mid-set A buzzing noise could be heard when a DJ application switched sampling rates while the mixer’s USB soundcard was in use.

Ver. 3.21 is the highest published version and AlphaTheta render its date two ways on their own material, 10 July 2018 in the change history and 7 October 2018 on the article, which is the ordinary 07/10 ambiguity. Ver. 3.20 added KUVO support and 3.18 improved SIDECHAIN REMIX and added manual effects to it, both additions rather than named defects, so neither carries a row. THE HISTORY HAS NO VERSION BELOW 3.18, and that is the answer to the DJM-2000 question rather than a gap: 3.18 is where the two products converged. The DJM-2000 is a different product with its own history and it has no row here because this site has no page for it. The two share a firmware filename from 3.18 onward and that is not permission to flash either machine with the other file.

Ver. 1.05 of 9 March 2021 is the highest published version and its entire published note is that minor issues were fixed, so it carries no row. It does carry a documented consequence, printed by AlphaTheta on the firmware article itself: after updating to 1.05 the Sampler Master Volume in Serato DJ Pro no longer syncs with the SAMPLER VOL knob, and the level has to be set in software instead. Version 1.02 had already changed that knob’s MIDI message. Versions 1.00, 1.01, 1.03 and 1.04 are implied by the numbering and AlphaTheta’s change history document refused every request during research, so nothing is claimed about them.

Ver. 1.07 is the end of the record and AlphaTheta say so themselves: if the unit reads 1.07 there is nothing to update. Two dates exist for it, 13 May 2013 in the change history document and 06/Feb/2020 on the article, and the 2013 date is the contemporaneous one. THE UPDATER NEEDS JAVA, which AlphaTheta state in one line and which is the reason an update appears to do nothing on a machine with no Java runtime installed.

AlphaTheta publish no firmware download and no version history for this model at all. Its product page has no Firmware Update section, which was verified by fetching the page and enumerating all seven of its sections, and every former pioneerdj.com firmware path redirects away. That is an absence of publishing and not an absence of firmware: AlphaTheta’s own troubleshooting tells you to read the version out of the DDJ-SR2 Setting Utility. Nothing is listed here because nothing is published, and a version you cannot compare against anything is a version you cannot act on.

Hardware

SanDisk DJ Flash Drive

A USB storage accessory, not a device with player- or mixer-style firmware. AlphaTheta and SanDisk document no firmware update history for it, so there is nothing of that kind to report.

Speakers

WAVE-EIGHT

AlphaTheta has published no firmware change history for this unit, so there is no documented fix to report. This section stays empty until one exists.

The data behind this page

Every row on this page, as a file you can use: JSON and CSV, one row per documented fault, with the safe version per model and the AlphaTheta document each row rests on. Free to reuse, quote and republish with credit and a link to this page. Licence: CC BY 4.0. It is regenerated from the same source as the page, so the two cannot disagree.

How to read this

A version in the "Fixed in" column is the release that resolved that fault. Anything below it still has the fault. Anything at or above it does not.

The mid-set marker is ours, not AlphaTheta's. It flags faults whose documented symptom can interrupt a set already in progress, so you can tell a real risk from an inconvenience at a glance. Everything else on this page is the vendor's own wording, condensed.

Faults only. Feature additions are left out on purpose, because a missing feature does not end a set. Every AlphaTheta model on this site has a section here, including the ones with nothing to report: where AlphaTheta has published no change history, the section says so rather than being left out, because a missing section and a clean record look identical from the outside.
