It’s fairly intuitive – watch how one YouTube user, DJ DP, quickly maps a Kontrol X1: While Rekordbox doesn’t yet have advanced MIDI mapping that uses modifiers and layered logic like Traktor, it does have most basic controls easily mappable. “DJ equipment other than those above are not supported for rekordbox dvs function even if it works on it.” – Pioneer DJ’s support page MIDI Mappings and Other FeaturesĪ lot of Traktor and Serato users will also wonder about MIDI mappings. It’s worth noting that just because these devices work with Rekordbox DJ now doesn’t mean they will in the future – or that there’s any support for them if anything goes wrong: Pioneer DJ gear (obviously) including any DDJ-unit with inputs, DJMs with built-in sound cards, Rekordbox timecode, etc.Here’s the hardware we’ve tested and confirmed as working with Pioneer DJ’s DVS pack so far (we’ll expand on this list in the next few hours – if you can check any hardware, let us know the results in the comments): These often have to be certified for use Serato / Traktor – but that’s not the case with Rekordbox. As Damien points out above, it’s particularly important for audio devices, especially when used with DVS. This goes beyond just MIDI mapping controllers that weren’t designed for Rekordbox use. You have to pay for the software so they don’t care what you use. See it in action with a Kontrol Z2 and Maschine in the video I don’t think Rekordbox filters by USB device name. This means that you should be able to use Rekordbox with just about any soundcard that your computer recognizes. But the price structure of Rekordbox DJ (paying up front or buying a subscription) allows Pioneer DJ to justify not restricting what devices you can use with the software. One of the biggest obstacles in changing DJ software is the concern that you’ll have to spend money buying new gear. Pioneer is clearly putting a ton of money into the quick development of the software – remember how it launched only 8 months ago? What Traktor + Serato Gear Works With Rekordbox? It has a ton of effects, and has received rapid-fire updates every few months. Rekordbox DJ also solves the issue of incompatibility with the latest operating systems which has plagued many users, particularly on the Serato side. Pioneer’s Rekordbox DJ enables a familiar workflow for Serato and Traktor veterans, without the need for new hardware. DVS DJs who want to use a piece of gear that isn’t “certified” for use with their software.įor example: Kontrol Z2 with Serato DJ, without an extra Serato soundcard.Traktor DJs who have watched the feature sets on Serato and Rekordbox expand while NI focused their attention on Stems (ex: Serato FX packs, Rekordbox release effects).Serato DJs using older legacy audio devices that no longer work with modern OS updates.The last couple years have been frustrating for several types of DJs: There are many reasons to avoid it – but with Pioneer DJ’s newcomer, Rekordbox DJ, it’s not as difficult as you might expect. Almost any Serato DJ or Traktor Pro gear can be used with the software, without paying extra or hacking.
