Can i use entry label (2019)Macbook pro for ddj 1000 controller?
The DDJ XP1 works well with the Pioneer XDJ decks also. I put DDJ XP1 on a second DJ stand and it is rapidly becoming a necessary part of my performance. I picked up some tips from you for my set up - thanks for the video.
finally the review that confirms xp1 works with cdj2000nxs2 & xdj1000mk2 without rekordbox DJ thanks!
do sync & master buttons also work on xp1? does it activate on CDJ & XDJ?
+IL KIM I'll test. I think they do though. There isn't a master button but the beat sync button is there.
There are also shift+ functions. Can you try and tell us of those as well? Thanks again!
+IL KIM not sure the shift does much extra when it's plugged directly into the CDJ apart from delete the hot cues. I'll test a few bits out when I'm back in the studio.
Crossfader on sp-1, shift+sync works as a master button. Just wondering if there are more functions. One more to ask is.. Is there a way to activate slip mode? i dont see slip mode button on xp1 whereas its there on sp-1
Excellent review. Not a bad kit especially for those who didn't own the original SP1. Would love to use this with Serato.
I Love using this with Serato DJ.
@@Cyesloks67 Could you share your mapping please?
This looks to be the best value on the dj market -- full dvs, full rekordbox, and a powerful device for 250$ I've been with serato since 2006 but I can't wait to link this up with my djms9 and take rekordbox for a spin.
The pad effects have always been lockable. .hold em down and change mode to lock. Return and hit the effect to unlock.
We would love to see a midi mapping tutorial in rekordbox. (Like using midi fighter, or something else.)
AYYY DJ MALFOY GOT SOME MORE TECH FROM PIONEER!!!
It looks sick! Production and for performance
It kinda looks like the one fore Hercules.
Loving the quality content, keep it up!
That last part, very important.
Great Review, I was saying it's the new version of the SP1 for rekordbox, thanks for the comparison. Hopefully the SP1 $$$ will drop..
Lol the DDJ-SP1 worth more than the XP1. Xp1 is shit no knob less possibility of control with effect
Awesome breakthrough and demo - keep up the great work - subscribed!
It's pretty sick
It's a controller add on
Probably makes production a little easier
Fun for performance
And it's a better version of an MPC... idk this might be on a future shopping list of mine.
+DJ TOXXIN you could definitely start bringing a live mpc style production element to your sets with this. We're already huge fans.
@Crossfader..can you review unmark ns6 2
+ken ark we are waiting for Numark to send us one. They're in talks with us about it but the release date had been pushed back so we're waiting a little longer than expected to get our hands on one.
I think one massive omission is the absence of the capture mode. Had this unit have this function to capture loops to the pads I think I'd have bought it. Still going need a mouse which defeats the object of this controller.
+Shaun_N capture mode would be amazing. I'll see if you can easily map out the capture feature to it though as a workaround.
Jimmy your the best brother, thanks for your videos they're very informative. Cheers
you should do a course using the ddj xp1, like djs routine, and finger druming explaining all the things you can do and how to improve our dj set, and of course i will be the first to buy yor course!!! =)
That's a great idea... we've got a long list of content we want to add to our courses but it's something we can definitely add to the list!
Could this be used with pioneers interface 2 and a DJM 500?
Any word on if/when firmware updates will come out for other Pioneer stand alone gear (CDJ/XDJ) that will support key change functionality without using the laptop?
+Steezify no word of it on our end. Would be amazing to see that happening though!
Good stuff, thanks for the review..
Thank you for everything 😌
i wish the future XP3 will get some knoobs...maybe 8 .. that would be awesome.
That was honestly a Great review.
Is it only for Recordbox or does work with al of different equipment and software like Serato or Djuced?
Does it work with pioneer XDJ RX2
thank you good review
Another great video mate, I got this after watching this, but as you know I'm old vinyl DJ , can I use pad FX with real vinyl still ? Keep up the great tutorials and quality DJ skills
I've never understood pad FX. No tweakability. Why not use banks?
I’m using this with ableton on a vst drum sampler I’ve read online that it has velocity sensitive pads but it doesn’t seem to be the case ?
Thanks for the killer info vid! I'm guessing there is no way to toggle to virtual decks???
I would like to know how to load samples into Ddj Xp2
Hi there :-) You mentioned at the end, that you are a DVS Serato user. What are the pros & cons using DVS Serato with the DDJ XP1? As a Serato DVS User what are the differences to the DDJ SP1? Stay with the DDJ SP1 or switch to DDJ XP1?
Are you planning to do a vid for DVS Serato with these controllers?
Thanks in advance and keep up the good work ;-)
I am hoping that you still answer comments here. I am thinking about getting the Pioneer ddj RZ, but may end up with the ddj 1000. Can I use the ddj XP 1 to activate the record feature on Rekordbox. I am wanting to use the XP1 to operate the record feature that is available on the ddj RZ and use the XP1 on the ddj 1000 so that I can record as I play my set and then use it as part of my performance. Hope I made this clear and that you can help me answer this. Thanks, Gary
Thanks for top review. Could not do else then buy this little beauty! One question as i am new with rekorbox.. can you acivate loop in advance or do you have 2 do that in memory?
+Daniel Carlsson you have to do that in the memory. You can use what you call active loops. With the xp1 you can turn active loops on and off before reaching that point in the mix.
Can you use this controller to operate rekordbox? For example, can I do a dj set with a lap top and this controller ??
Hello I'm watching your tutorials with great pleasure, congratulate you doing a great job.I'm subscribed to the channel!😊 I have a request :you can do a tutorial about basic eq mix?😉Thanks!
+DJ Ionut thanks for the subscription. The majority of our lessons are all within our Online dj courses available here: www.wearecrossfader.co.uk/online-dj-courses
We will put a few free lessons now and again up on the channel too.
Hi can i plug it separately to a mac running recordbox just to control the lights on RB-DMX1 via cue points?
Great Review!
Kindly, confirm if it works with serato DJ
Can i able to connect xp1 to pioneer DDj1000??
Can i use entry label (2019)Macbook pro for ddj 1000 controller?
wow very nice
hello can I connect this to my numark mixstream pro?
What app is it
Great video mate, will it work well with XDJ1000's on USB's?
Great video! Could you show us the pad editor in the next one? Is it possible to use just this and a djm, like the NI X1?
+fouskalini yeah I'll get a blog post together with the pad editor in and maybe another video. You could definitely use it with just a DJM however you would have to sync the decks up constantly and maybe map some of the functions to nudge the bpm up and down.
I got 1 today...my problem is im using serato vinyl(rane) and backspinning(beat juggling) moves my marker from 12 to 9...after 1 to 3 spins back. Hopefully it's a vinyl issue I can fix with getting rekordbox
Thank you for the in depth review. Seems like a cool add on to your current RB setup. Did I hear correctly that it comes with a Recordbox DJ full license?
+C Sanchez yep that's right. And the DVS add on. Good price at £229 for those licenses and this hardware I think.
Totally agree that's a good price for the hardware and the licensing. Thanks
I just bought it,can u play it with fl studio? For example: Making samples on fl studio and assigning to the pads and play it connecting to a laptop and a speaker....
Tnx bro! :)
How bright are the pad LEDs ? Look very low a problem Ableton had with push v1 ? A firmware brightness feature be nice update if so, also can you use x2 units in pioneer rekordbox 4 decks ?
Hi all, I'm new to this. Can you use this pad with out decks?
Hello, can I use that on Numark dj controller ?
Can you use the XP1 without another DJ Controlller????
+PyroStylersHD sure but you don’t have much control over the tempo adjusts or being able to nudge or pitch bend on it. You would have to map out these features if you didn’t pair it up with another controller/set up
Hi, did you try it finally ?
Can you utilize the Key Shift function without connecting to rekordbox? I have a CDJ-2000NXS2 with the 750mk2 mixer set-up and want to be able to change the keys of a track standalone. Any suggestions? Much appreciated.
Will this work with CDJ 2000 nexus 1?
Yes so pioneer dj emailed me
My 13 year old studies music and wants to be a DJ.
He has his eyes on a DDj-400 and the Innovation Launchpad.
I just want to know, would it be better in the future to buy the DDJ-XP1 for the DDJ-400 as it's Pioneer or both this and the Launchpad for the DDJ-400?
Could you please explain the difference between the Innovation Launchpad mk2 or Pro and this DDJ-XP1.
It gets a bit confusing.
Thanks.
So the notation launchpad is designed more to work with software like ableton. It’s a midi controller that maps well to production software. You should also be able to midi map it yourself to rekordbox and control things like samples in the rekordbox software. However the DDJ xp1 is designed specifically for rekordbox and already all mapped out. It takes full advantage of the DJ software and has more pads than the DDJ 400 so you can theoretically do more with it.
The only reason I would say to get the launchpad is if your son is confident at finger drumming for example and wants to plan more live sets in ableton but apply some mixing over the top. Please note that for ableton and rekordbox to work side by side you will need a sound card for them both to route to and they don’t automatically sync with each other. Hope that give you some extra insight.
Absolutely fantastic answer.
I thought I was late for the part seeing the video is 2017.
Clears up a lot of confusion.
We both really enjoy your videos.
Kind regards.
how do we mix the track with out jog wheel !! sync ?? and how do we set up cue points manauly ?? how do we set tempo for different tracks 100 bpm to 95 bpm and so on ??? will this need a mixer ?? and what mixer if we do ??
This is an add on controller for rekordbox software. It’s intended to be added to a set up ideally with jog wheels like cdjs or a set of turntables using a mode called DVS.
This then means you can access all of rekordbox’s features even if your current equipment doesn’t.
Cue points can be set in rekordbox without any equipment plugged in. It can be done solely on your laptop if needed.
Look at getting this as part of a bigger set up.
Can you mix with this and only a laptop ?
Wow sanaoil rekord
Now with DMX lights controller, can the lights be controlled with the pads?
Any idea how to MIDI-map the unit for use with Ableton or Reaper? Thanks!
this can play without controller ?
Hi there thanks for the vid, I've just moved from Traktor to rekordbox and the ddj 1000. I used the the remix decks with an f1 for just triggering loops. Is the Xp1 what i need to do that? it looks complicated. or is there a another controller for just the sampler? As I said I'm pretty new to rekordbox and I'm trying to figure out what I need. Cheers Daz
Good Stuff
I have one question. I have 2 channel xdj rx2 and 4 channel controller ddj rz.
But mostly I work with the 2 channel in a club
With this ddj xp1 can I use 4 channel on the xdj rx2? just to put the next song ready??
thank you
Can you do something with it in VIDEO Mode?
Quality video ,will you be going to BPM Pro?
+Frazer Cuttle unfortunately we can't make it this year. Will be there yearly from next.
Does it work with the xdj 1000mk2?
Do you have a mapping for serato yet?
I been working on a mapping have cue points, key note shift, loops, samples loop roll of course library scroll and load track done still working in the rest if u have one I don't mind sharing the xml file to give it a test run.
I want to put this product on my wishlist but i was wondering if you use rekordbox in performance mode (link) on a cdj 2000/nexus can you combine this products togehter on one usb hub ? Greetings from the netherlands
Jamie, did you ever get a Serato mapping for this?
Guys when I use the sample mode the tracks start playing aferre a 1 or 2 seconds after Why? Is there a way to cue the songs so they start exactly at the same time I tap the pads to star ?? Excuse my English hope you can help me
Can I use this together with my DDJ-400?
good morning sir, DDJ 400 and DDJ XP1 possible to used at a same time in one laptop ?.....
can it play like launch pad?? so the pad asign to melody sound?
Please guide with d setup of Ddj xp1 with Ddj Rx
The DDJ xp1 is a plug and play controller for Rekordbox. You can simply plug both the DDJ xp1 and DDJ RX onto your laptop. Both will run at the same time. Shouldn’t be much set up involved.
Thanks a lot! Still have a query which runs with same software. Any specifications to use use both d controllers
Both will sync at a time.. if possible will u able release a good manual vedio with Ddj Xp1 & Ddj Rx
Hey we don’t currently own the DDJ RX I’m afraid so can’t make a video on that. We have made a performance video with the DDJ RB and XP1 however. ua-cam.com/video/pSQ_H5BzTEk/v-deo.html
Is full video ...??
Where i control the volumen of the samplers
can you use this with other Dj controllers like Herkules ? or by itself?
I need to know if it works with the rb
Yep it sure does. We have a performance video using it with the DDJ RB here: ua-cam.com/video/pSQ_H5BzTEk/v-deo.html
Hey, thx for this video! Is it possible to navigate in the different playlists with the scroll button ?
+Antoine Hamelin yeah it is. If you click the scroll button in it bounces in and out of playlists.
Thx!
this would be perfect for the lower end DDJ-RB, since the RB has limited physical controls.
How do you have it already? online sites just list it as available late Sept. or similar. :(
+wikkidselekta it's available in the U.K. already.
Crossfader
damn
I have a question. Given i own 2 turntables and a mixer without interface built in, if i buy this will i be able to use the setup with rekordbox? I will still need a soundcard right? Thanks in advance, nice tutorial. Subscribed
+Francisco Fernando yeah sorry I maybe didn't word that too great in the video. You will still need a soundcard to use DVS if you don't already have A DVS compatible soundcard/mixer.
I have an Akai amx, and i have the mapping for rekordbox. I just bought 2 rekordbox timecodes. If I buy this, will i be able to use the full equipment? Sorry if im not making myself clear and thanks on the availability to answer.
+Francisco Fernando hmm I can't say for certain but I have a feeling it will work. The akai amx is a DVS soundcard basically. This xp1 will unlock rekordbox's DVS mode allowing you to utilise the akai as a soundcard. Please note we haven't tested this combination however Rane sl2, sl3 and sl4 boxes all work with rekordbox DVS so I can imagine the akai amx will work similarly.
Where can I find the OJAY beats bonus ball track? Cheers
Have you used it in Serato DJ as yet?
Hi i wanted to know if i can connect it to my XDJ RX driect to USB as said u can connect it to 2000nex...?
+Timothy Francis nah unfortunately not. Only the nexus 2’a and xdj1000mk2 direct
Is this working also with pioneer xdj r1 ??
Can it work with a xdj without a laptop?
Hi... appreciate your review but is that possible to use xp1 with pioneer ddj 1000 controller?
Yeah you can use the xp1 with any set up running rekordbox performance mode (which the DDJ 1000 does). Because it plugs directly into your laptop and not the equipment it’s just another controller.
A question, if I buy this XP1, do I need to have a dj table to do songs? I mean, I want to do music just with this, remixes or idk
I need a dj table or I can just buy this and make the songs?
Well, can u use only this xp1 to load and play yours songs
I've been using Traktor for many years now, but I'm starting to think it's sort of losing its edge, so I'm considering Rekordbox. I've got a DDJ SX and I'm thinking of combining that with XP1 . Any thoughts on that setup ? From what I understand , DDJSX is pre mapped to RekordBox and could work seamlessly with XP1 , however I have not been able to find a single video with that setup. Any feedback is greatly appreciated...
Yeah DDJ SX works with Rekordbox, just note that some of the pad modes will be labelled different to what they do seen as its originally a serato contoller. Then with the XP1 you're able to have access to everything Rekordbox currently has to offer. That goes for any Rekordbox set up with an XP1 added.
Thanks !
Can I use it as a audio interface whit my Rekordbox timecodes? I have a old mixer, and whant to use DDJ XP1 whit my turntables!
No you must buy audio interface or a mixer with audio interface like djm 450. Djm 450, xp1 and 2 turntables are a great setup.
How's the mapping to Serato going?
Can it be used on Rekordbox V5 and with DDJ 200?
You can use the XP1 for sure with the 200 but I can't remember if Rekordbox 5 supports the DDJ-200 so you might need version 6!
@@Crossfader thanks
Hey which Music ?Ojay Beats?
where can i get the beat
Dope! I'm lost though lol
Can ya control video files with this?
Do u need a pc for this ?
Guess it doesn’t work on serato :(
Can all 4 decks in Rekordbox be play at the same time ?
Yeah, sure
Has anyone mapped this XP1 for Serato Dj Pro ?
