Just recently purchased the DDJ XP2 to use with my Pioneer S11 Mixer on Serato. I cannot swap the Sample Banks on the XP2 using the parameter buttons on the unit as I would on the mixer. I have even tried using the Shift + Parameter button , but it doesnt work. How can I move through the sample banks on the XP2 , without having to touch the mixer or the Laptop? Please help
Hi! Great Vid. But I think it would be great to understand how to set this up. How do you set up all the features on the actual xp2 ?? I understand how to midi map but not all of the features!! Like how do you get loop roll, slicer etc set up on this thing when you get it😫
Thanks for the reply! But.. What do you mean ? The cue points and settings aren’t set up when you plug it in... I’m having to go thru and re map everything to the xp2... please let me know if there is something I am doing wrong. But I wasn’t able to just plug in and start using right away which is a little frustrating
I don't usually map features in Serato, so I'm not so sure. If you can map searching through a track in Serato, then you can definitely use this to do it, but I'm not sure if that's possible.
Great video! Can you help me out? I think this unit will do what I am needing it to, however I would really appreciate your input on this. I have a DJM-450 with two standalone XDJMKII1000 decks. I am ready to upgrade to 4x decks, so I will be getting a new DJM 4x channel mixer in addition to the two additional decks to get to 4x total. However, I LOVE using the cue buttons in my sets. Right now, I have the ability to use hot cues, I just do not have cue pads, which I prefer. As you know, neither the XDJ1000 standalones or the 900NXS2 mixers have cue pads, so the only way I can see it possible to have cue pads and 4x decks would be to get a XDJ-EZ and add my two standalones to get 4x total channels. That was before I came across this video... I would prefer to have 4x standalones instead of adding the XDJ-EZ in the middle and only having cue pads for those two channels. With all that being said, will the DDJ XP2 be able to do this for me? By that I mean, using the DDJ XP2 as my hot cue pads for those 4 standalone decks. I would REALLY appreciate your input so I can figure out the best and most price efficient way to get cue pads for my 4x standalone setup.
Dj BoomBastic Honestly I like them both but the SP1 is easier to use with two decks and it is all in one device where you would need 2 neons or switch between decks often.
What's up man! I just stumbled on your site! Great stuff man! Quick question: I am not a live DJ anymore - but I simply want to record some of my old vinyl without using DJ software like Serato - just use an interface/preamp combo and Audacity. Recommendations? Denon DJ DS1? Rane? I would like 24bit.
Thanks for the kind words! You can really use any turntable to transfer your vinyl to digital. You can use a small Numark PT-01 scratch or even a belt drive turntable. Now if you want to scratch a bit, then check out the Numark NTX1000 as it has a great motor and doesn't cost too much.
@@RealDJblaze thanks man! Do I need to use the Serato software to use the Denon DJ DS1 or the Rane SL3? I want to bypass the software and just use Audacity. Love the page man!
I like the DDJ XP2 but Pioneer DJ is greedy as hell!! I bought the DDJ XP1. They should have got this shit right the first time with the DDJ XP1 being able to work with both Serato and Rekordbox. This is why people are shifting to Denon products.
HI can this be used on stand alone pioneer with Pioneer DJ XDJ-RX3 with out using computer?
I'm not so sure...
Can you simply use it as a deck 3 and 4 next to a DDJ-SX for example?

It will already be set up. You just plug it in via USB and it will work with Serato and Rekordbox...

Do I need a specific usb or the one that comes with it?
Sorry I am new to all of this so forgive me, just trying to understand what I’m doing wrong
Is there a way to assign to buttons 'search' to go forward and backwards in a track? just like a cdj/xdj has on the left side on the deck.
I don't usually map features in Serato, so I'm not so sure. If you can map searching through a track in Serato, then you can definitely use this to do it, but I'm not sure if that's possible.
How about drumpad?
Can I do a dj set with the XP alone? Do I need a special mixer?? Please help. Thanks 🙏🏾
You will need a full setup with Serato first, then you can add this. This is just an add-on or auxiliary controller. Thanks!
Will this controller work in rekordbox with my xdj 700's??
Hi, does this controller work with xdj-rx? Thanks
It is software dependant
I second that question
Thanks for the video, I jyst got the Rane One controller but it has no hardware effects should I consider getting the XP2 for added effects.
This will not give you hardware effects either, but you will have more control over effects in Serato with this.
@@kareem_the_dream Is this XP2 + ddj-1000srt will be a good setup for Serato??
@@zdravkozdravka4313 Yes, but you don't need the XP2... the 1000SRT will do everything you need.
@@kareem_the_dream Okay, I still have ddj 400 .. Will xp2 + ddj 400 be ok? Does the ddj 400 rather don't need xp2?
@@zdravkozdravka4313 Don't need the XP2 with the DDJ-400 either unless you are doing some serious pad work...
Can I get DDJ XP2 PLEASE
Thanks for the review! Does it comes with the licence for Serato as well?
No it does not. Thanks.
I'm not getting to use my samples on this unit , I'm using the ddj 1000srt
Can these be MIDI mapped to trigger clips in Ableton live?
Yes it can!
is it the latest from pioneer?, is it standalone? thanks.
Love the review. Can this be used as a remix?
Are you able to use serato for the pioneer xdj-XZ without a laptop?
Serato is a application on your laptop, you need it to mix.
will the DJM S11 mixer do the same things as the XP2?
The S11 does even more...
Can I use this with my Rane SL2 box ????
Yes you can.

Thank you for watching. This will not give you hot cues for standalone mode. This is ONLY for Serato DJ or Rekordbox DJ with a computer... Thanks.
Hey mate! Need your help with something... Which controller you prefer between this two, dj ddj-sp1 and reloop neon ?
Dj BoomBastic Honestly I like them both but the SP1 is easier to use with two decks and it is all in one device where you would need 2 neons or switch between decks often.
@@RealDJblaze thanks a lot brother!🙂
Do you recommend a different beat pad? Or is this the best one?
This one is really good. The Maschine Mikro or Reloop NEON can also work depending on how you program them.
What's up man!

Really Informative man. Good work. Helped me out
Thanks for the comment!
Thanks, best review so far I've seen. Just ordered one. should have it in a couple of days 👍
i guess it's kinda randomly asking but do anyone know of a good website to stream newly released series online?
@Flynn Leonel lately I have been using FlixZone. You can find it by googling :)
@Terrell Byron Yup, have been watching on flixzone for months myself :)
@Terrell Byron Thank you, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :) I appreciate it!!
@Flynn Leonel No problem :)
great review fella, I'll stick to my xp1 tho I think for RB, I got some AFX units for serato DJ pro 😆👍
Thanks! If I had the XP1, I wouldn't upgrade either... They are pretty similar.
👍🏾
