Meet the Pioneer DDJ-XP2 DJ Controller for Rekordbox dj and Serato DJ Pro

Whether you use rekordbox dj or Serato DJ Pro, you can get the most from the new features in the latest versions of both DJ applications – released today – with the upgraded Pioneer DDJ-XP2 DJ controller.

The DDJ-XP2 adds to the functionality of the DDJ-XP1 but retains the build quality and layout of the original unit.

The controller features 32 multicolored Performance Pads (16 on each deck), a non-slip rubber surround and offers tactile control of the Key Shift and Key Sync features in either of the compatible applications. You can dynamically apply your chosen effect by running your finger along the Slide FX touch strips.

New modes
PAD MODE 1- Hot Cue mode and Sampler mode
PAD MODE 2- Auto Loop mode
PAD MODE 3- Slicer mode and Sampler mode
PAD MODE 4- Saved Loop mode and Manual Loop mode
PAD MODE 5- Pitch Play mode
PAD MODE 6- Roll mode
PAD MODE 7- Slicer Loop mode and Sampler mode
PAD MODE 8- Transport mode and Beatgrid Edit mode

The DDJ-XP2 ushers in new pad modes in rekordbox dj and Serato DJ Pro. You can make full use of Transport mode, which assigns transport controls such as play, pause, cue, and pitch up/down to the Performance Pads on the DDJ-XP2. And, for the first time, use 16 pads to control a single mode in Serato DJ Pro. Until now, Serato DJ Pro has only supported up to eight pads in any mode.

If you’ve used the DJM-S9 before, the DDJ-XP2 inherits the looping section from the flagship scratch mixer. Plus, the new Silent Cue feature in Serato DJ Pro works the same way as the existing feature for rekordbox dvs (license key included) – enabling you to silently cue up tracks with the faders open on the mixer and trigger them instantly from Hot Cue points.

To use the DJ controller with rekordbox dj/dvs, update to the latest version of the application and activate the included license keys. To unlock Serato DJ Pro, you’ll need a subscription or license key and you’ll need to update to the newly released version of the application. Serato DVS is also supported (Expansion Pack available separately).
