Pioneer RMX-1000 with Traktor / S4
Pioneer RMX-1000 with Traktor / S4 Posted on: 25.03.2012 by Merry Piesik Although the price of the Pioneer RMX-1000 is steep it looks pretty cool and has made me curious... how would you go about integrating it with a setup of Traktor and a S4 or VCI-400? | |

| Jamee Zaborny 12.12.2013 | In my experience, you CAN use the RMX-1000 w/ the Kontrol s4; however, it's not ideal and recording the FX is not possible, at all. Basically, if you are using the Kontrol s4, you are using a unit that does not support SEND/RETURN. This will hold true if you are using any system without a SEND/RETURN. In order for you to experience what the RMX-1000 has to offer, you will need to connect the master output of your mixer into the input of the RMX-1000 and the output of the RMX-1000 to the stereo amplifier/speaker. With this setup you will only be able to hear the effects applied out of the stereo amplifier directly. No more, no less. Hope this helps some. If you are using the Kontrol s4, you should stick to the FX in Traktor. MANY, if not all of what the RMX-1000 can do, you can natively do in Traktor. With that said, I'm willing to sell my RMX-1000 for $650. I used it for 5 minutes to verify the above comments are accurate. It's practically brand new and $150 less than you'd get it in stores. |

| Florene Tolo 10.12.2012 | Anybody here end up buying the RMX1000 to use with their S4 (or S2/VCI400, etc)? If so, do you love it or do you regret it? I really want to buy a RMX but I'm worried that running it through master-out will be disappointing, or have other technical issues like the effects being too loud/overbearing, etc. Running it through Ableton like stated above is a little too much work (although I would definitely use the VST for production). My buddy has a DJM2000 and I've always loved the Pioneer effects over Traktors, but the lack of a send/return has me wondering if I should even bother. Thoughts and opinions? |
| Bertie Metro 25.03.2012 | You can always get a Y splitter for your headphones, when you're not using the headphones to cue up a next track, use it to send the deck you want to the fx box. Then you set the fx out to a free input on the s4, in sound preferences choose this input for the aux input, it should work. It will be pre fader, but it's better than having no options at all. Just don't forget to kill the fx/turn down the aux return before cueing another track, or you'll be creating a mess. |
| Nedra Fresneda 25.03.2012 | Not sure about the VCI but with the S4 (there is no send/return routing when mixing in internal mode) the only way to hook it up is to the Master out, meaning you won't be able to process decks individually. A workaround is to route Traktor to Ableton and load the VST it ships with for each deck there. Big downside with doing this is you lose the channel faders inside Traktor (since you need to set it to external mixing) so you need to map Ableton to do this, the problem? You will have to use Regular MIDI instead of NHL, meaning you won't be able to use the default map and you will lose a lot of resolution with the jogs and pitch faders. IMO it's not the wisest investment, specially if you won't be able to use it to it's full extend without having quite a few headaches. |
| Daine Ziadeh 25.03.2012 | I don't believe you'd need a separete effect unit when you can use traktor's or serato's effects. It's different for CDJ's and mixers that lack that much effects. |
