Traktor Kontrol Z2 Map for "Serato DJ"
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.พ. 2025
- "This is a map for Serato DJ and the Traktor Z2. Last year we brought you a similar mapping for Scratch Live but since then Serato brought back the MIDI panel for its Serato DJ software. Much of the mapping is similar to the Scratch Live one but certain differences in the software made an entirely new mapping necessary. Please feel free to use this as a starting point in building your own custom template suited to your workflow.

I came across this video today and RAN to purchase a Z2 mixer. to the person/people
that made this possible, THANK YOU.
damn me either...
Thanks for the video. Now, I need mapping for my old S4 mk1 to run Serato DJ Pro! I just sold my ddj controller.
i got it working. everything works good. thanks for the map.
Thanx for the vid ! Appreciate It!
did everything you said but i'm not getting audio signal on mix. A or B meters. on serato dj the audio meter is normal
Great video. I hope I can set this up.
Where do you obtain the map files?
Quick question.
Is the Z2 mixer the only hardware you are using? Is there some other controller attached or is everything running from the software straight to the mixer?
+Crispo213 Z2 is the midi controller and the SL3 is the sound card.
thanks thundaskratch that's the most important fact all should know
how about the sound output??
COULD YOU SHOW AND EXPLAIN TO PEOPLE THAT FOR THIS YOU NEED AN EXTERNAL INTERFACE LIKE THE SL2 RANE TO WORK.
Hello, good afternoon, how good is this mapping, do you always have to turn on the program or have you been saved? I buy a z2 tracktor
Still dope now
Are you using a Serato Box? Or the Z2's soundcard? Someone told me you can use the Z2's soundcard in the latest version of serato dj pro but I haven't figured that out yet and Serato themselves said you can't but you know how that goes that even if you could they won't tell you cuz they want you to by the product they are affiliated with through sells.
would i need to install any drivers from NI? cause i took mine out the box.. hooked it up and plugged it into my computer but its not working with serato. none of the controls working.. i put the file in controller editor but it wont connect o my z2.
Hi, can the Traktor z2 control video mixing too after mapping it with serato dj software?
did u use a rare sound interface sl 1 ,2 ...? or did u plug straight in
I used a SL3 interface. You need a Serato DJ compatible interface for this to work.
+thundaskratch thanks
thanks bro
I don't have the midi option on my serato dj in setup. How can I do this?
hey When i load the preset and try to mix used the traktor z2, the buttons seems to all light up but and ineffective, i feel like im so close, what do i do i am stuck?
Hi! I'm trying to run this map on Serato DJ 1.7.5 with a Z2 mixer and a SL2 interface, in OS X Yosemite. Midi controls do their mapped action, but unfortunately there is no led working. Am I doing something wrong? Many thanks in advance :)
Did you need to get a separate interface to connect to Serato?
Do i need a SL1 or SL2?
how much of the tractor probrom that comes with the z2 did you install. or do i need to registor my unit for it to work?
Hi where I download the map thx a lot
Do I need to have the controller editor open every time I need to use the mapping
anyone used this mixer with denoon dj's interface?
can anyone tell me how after i create my own mapping in controller editor how i turn it into an xml file to import into serato dj ?
Just a question, I am not getting Light feedback from the mixer, when I press the effect button it does not lighten up. any ideas?
And loop roll also not working like described. My wheel is not controlling the loop grid at all, and to loop i need to keep the knob pressed otherwise goes out.
Any help ? thanks
+DJ WiZy As far as light feedback, I'm not positive but I would check that I have the most up to date version of the Z2 firmware as well as the latest Controller Editor Software.
+DJ WiZy Loop roll is supposed to be momentary meaning the knob has to be pressed for it to work. However you can customize it to not be momentary in the Controller Editor Software. I believe you just switch the behavior from 'Gate' to 'Toggle'. As far as the loop grid not working, I would remap the knob in serato as that would be the quickest/easiest way to get it to work. If you need help with that I can make a quick video showing you how.
FOUND THE PROBLEM. Serato DJ 1.7.7 was it. Tried an older version 1.7.5 and everything worked. Any thoughts ? Control edit shows Midi IN activity for serato 1.7.5 but no activity for 1.7.7 and thats why the lights are not turning ON
Hey, nice mapping, thanks for that!
I only have one issue and that is that none of the lightings are working on my mixer
do you have any idea how to fix that?
solved... installed traktor and it worked
+CheckThisProduction hey can you when u first got did you install traktor pro2?
+cdjr87 initially not. I'm using a Mac and it helped is talking traktor but I realized it's apparently some kind of Usb 3.0 issue
I connect the z2 turn it on and leave it for a minute or so. Then I turn it off and on again, this time the usb connection lamp should light up and then all I need to do is unplug and plug back the Usb. Then lighting should work
can you use 4 decks so in serato with that soundcard of the z2?
also is it possible to use both scratch live and serato dj at the same time. hook up sl1 and sl2 and having both mapped files on the k2.
+cdjr87 there is a separate mapping for scratchlive as it's features differ from sdj. I'm not sure if you can run 2 sl interfaces at the same time but I've never had the gear to test that.
Hi Dj Icewater My register is done i love the mapping for the TRAKTOR Z2 how can get this mapping ? thanks
Is thos mapping directly to the mixer or is a Sl box being used?
Hey man, nice tutorial and thank you for that!
Quick question:
Can i use my Z2 mixer without an serato soundcard or do i have to buy a compatible serato soundcard for the mixer, then plug in my traktor Z2 to my mac via. the usb cable?
second:
Is it possible to use both Traktor timecode and the Z2 mixer with the Serato software without using any serato hardware?
+Sebastian Skjoedt the z2 is just acting as a midi control surface and not as a sound interface
+Lab Life-Pro (LabLifePro) Thanks alot man!
What version of Serato are you using? I recently got the mapping for this but my Midi button is greyed out and will not detect my Z2
Great info! So, I won't need a Serato box, i.e., SL2-SL3 and I can use Serato vinyl? What's the name of the track you used?
+Daymeon Gartrell you still need a serato interface. this is just a mapping for the z2 as a midi control surface
thundaskratch Ok. That Denon DS1 sound card will be the ticket.
can i get the serato software for the jockey pro traktor

I must be missing something because I got it to work, but the recording in Serato is not working. Has anybody came across that problem?
+Frequency Sound Stage I don't use the recording function in Serato but I don't think this should affect that since it's just a midi mapping.
+thundaskratch that's what I thought but it only records the tone. I use Garage band now

Hello, to use the evening on a z2 mixer, did you use an external evening sound card?
Yes you need to. I use Z2 with SL2
Hello! Question. Since I updated the serato dj to 1.7.5 I don't see the "midi" tab nowhere in sight not even in the "setup" tab. I don't have the Z2 mixer as of yet, but when I plug the mixer in will the midi feature appear? Thanks!
Trunkie Tee The MIDI tab only shows up when you have a serato interface attached. Otherwise it won't be visible in the setup menu. Once you have your serato interface and the Z2 connected to your computer, you should be able to see the Z2 in the MIDI section for devices.
thundaskratch Thanks for the quick response and I didn't even know you have to have the serato box as well thinking it might read off from the z2 mixer.
Trunkie Tee Yeah unfortunately Serato won't allow you to use the Z2 as an audio interface, only as a midi control surface
this is amazing
+Lab Life-Pro (LabLifePro) What Osx System do you run on that Macbook? Is it possible to connect the Z2 to a Macbook running OS X Yosemite? Thx
+grebel81 I use OS X Yosemite with no issues on a Macbook Pro
Has anyone played a live gig or made an hour or more mix using this mapping or some other one? I’d like to know how reliable this set up is. Thanks!
Hey, are you using and external soundcard in the video or is the sound routed through the internal soundcard in the Z2?
Morgan Pal Sound is coming out of the z2 but the main sound are producing audio is the serato box
it's mapping for contour line fader too ?
I couldnt find a sign up area on your page? please provide link

Hey man. I registered on your website but I never received a confirmation email or anything.
We apologize for that.
What is the email that you used to register?
Does this require another sound card or does the Z2 act as the serato soundcard? I downloaded your mapping but I cannot get the midi tab to display or open.
Can you please help?
Hey guys,
I downloaded and all fine except the loop trimming. How is possible to sort it out please? Please help me. Thanks
what version of Serato DJ are you running?
1.9.2 with SL2. All up to date
Ok I haven't had a chance to test on 1.9.2 but I'll do so soon
Thanks.
What version you use on the video?
The video is over a year old but I'm currently on Serato DJ 1.9.0 and it works fine for me
Hey dj ice water..
I bought the z2 mixer and hooked it to my rane box and loaded the mapping everything works fine except two things,
1. the lights of the buttons dont glow (the cue points light are working fine but all other buttons not)
2. the loop knob when i press on it, it loops a 1 bar loop but wen i lift my hands it duznt loop not like in ur video
I need help with these 2 issues please
+Deli Kizzle
I believe this is an issue with the latest version of
Serato. If possible downgrade to version 1.7. I will see if I can work
on a new mapping compatible with the latest serato but other DJs who
have used the template have said currently that it is not possible.
Hey ..awesome mapping!
Quick question: are the mapped effects POST fader?
+HammodDi Z no Serato DJ software doesn't support Post Fader fx unless you are using their mixers I believe.
I'm having a problem logging in LAB LIFE-PRO after registering. Can you email me the Z2 map for Serato DJ?
same here
i just registered on the site and didn't receive a confirmation email. could you please send me the file?

Thank you very much!
I updated my SL3 drivers for El Capitan and now the Z1 won't light up. All my mapping works, only the lights won't come on. I'm running OS X El Capitan and Serato DJ 1.9.3. Any advice?
not sure but it's likely an El Capitan issue. You might want to check if Native Instruments has an update to their Controller Editor for El Capitan.
I do have the latest update to the Editor. I started getting the waveform freeze in SDJ and found it was because I needed a driver update for El Capitan. Once I updated the driver, I lost lights....it was working before the SL3 driver update.
Will the sp1 work if i hook it to the mixers usb hub?
+Deli Kizzle it has worked for me doing it that way
Hi!.
My register is done.
But I need to Serato dj
No Scratch Live.
Please
do you need a serato box for this too work.
+dee j xcel Sound is coming out of the z2 but the main sound are producing audio is the serato box

+Lab Life-Pro (LabLifePro) Hey i still havent gotten my password
Whats going on its been 2months
+Lab Life-Pro (LabLifePro) so we need both the z2 mapped for serato but along with an sl box in order to work with turntables?
+dee j xcel yes the z2 is just acting as a midi control surface and not as a sound interface
+dee j xcel damn i just remembered i only have the sl-1 box... it wont work. only with scratch live! dammit

Will this work with the $300.00 Denon box? SL1? so forth?
This will work with any serato interface but to take advantage of the midi control capabilities this works only with the Traktor Z2 mixer.
+Rodney Sino-Cruz right. cool! thx!
correction the sl1 does not work with serato dj only serato scratch live
Curious about this mixer and it's mapping. Will this still work with latest and future versions of SDJ? Can this work with Scratchlive as well? I have the SL3. Thanks.
+DjTecniq I am currently using it with SDJ 1.8.0. I made a separate mapping for Scratchlive that should also be available at lablifepro.com
+thundaskratch Awesome thanks for letting me know I'm gonna pick one up👍🏻

Great question can anyone answer? I want to know what interfaces will work for this as well?
No as far as I know the SL1 does not work with Serato DJ. There is an
older mapping at lablifepro for Serato Scratch Live which does work with
the SL1

I have a pair of RELOOP RP-8000 and a pair of XDJ-1000 how do I get this to work with my SL2 box and TRAKTOR Z2 mixer ?
Djmixtycal Are you able to get Serato DJ to work regardless of mixer? The Z2 is just functioning as a midi controller so it really has no involvement in the RP-8000/XDJ-1000 and SL2 box working together. As I am not really familiar with either piece, I would refer to the Serato website for help with those.
Yes its working but the lights on the Z2 midi button doesn't stay on
Djmixtycal I would check to see that the z2 is enabled/selected under midi devices in the midi tab of the setup
ok
@Lab Life-Pro (LabLifePro)
I tried this its not working for me can you help ? Does this work with the Serato DJ latest update i.e 1.7.3 ?
Djmixtycal Make sure you load the SeratoDJ_Z2.ncc file in NI Controller Editor software first. Next make sure to copy the LLP_SERATODJ_Z2.xml file to your Serato>Midi>Xml folder. It's possible that you may have multiple Serato preference folders on various hard drives so to be safe I would copy the xml file to all of them.
Also to clarify, this will only work with a Serato Interface attached. Serato DJ will not run fully without one. The Z2 is mapped as a midi controller only. This is not a hack to get Serato DJ to run using the Z2 sound card. There has been some confusion as to this fact.
Has this been tested in Serato 1.9.2. Thanks
Hi there,
Is it the loop trimming working on your setup with 1.9.2? Thanks

With this setup is works but the rest is not that nice. So my mixer is definitely OK. Tried to used the different parameters in the controller editor but nothing changed. I start to be desperate after a whole day trying and I don't really want to use Traktor :(
do you need to buy the dvs upgrade for it to work?
Hey lab life-pro, If I am using Serato software and mapping my Traktor Kontrol z2 mixer with Serato, do I need the Traktor software to be downloaded onto the laptop running Serato or does the z2 operate as a stand alone stagnant mixer controlled now by Serato? I ask because my macbook OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 isn't compatible with the Traktor software!
I loaded up the mapping. All works good but my cue buttons stay red. any reason for this.
you can assign them to be your colors of choice in controller editor
Do i need to use a rane box with this? if so i have the SL1... will this work?
I'm interested to know what interfaces it works with as well?
No as far as I know the SL1 does not work with Serato DJ. There is an older mapping at lablifepro for Serato Scratch Live which does work with the SL1
Thx for the reply! So then can I also assume it would not work for the $300 Denon box?
No it should work with the Denon DS1 which is Serato DJ compatible
Thats good news! Thx so much!
So does this require a SL box from Serato or not and how can i get the file?
