DDJ-SX - Traktor performance
Posted on: 18.10.2013 by Neoma Picklesimer
I'm considering to buy the DDJ-SR which is coming out in a month.

But since I'm a Traktor-fanboy, I want to know how well the DDJ-SX works with the custom midimaps out there.
It might give me an idea about integration/latency/fill in the blank...?

Up to you guys, who are rocking the DDJ-SX with Traktor!

Running Setup Wizard will reset all Traktor settings to default. I don't see how a mapping can affect your track analysis though.

Sorry, don't want to rain on anyone's parade here but I've used it with Jaja's mapping and besides the fact that I don't have a keyboard mapping anymore, it also messed up pretty much all my other settings in Traktor. Some of which I can't find a possibility to change it back without re-analyzing my entire library. That was the first bad part. I also couldn't quite get the hang of his set up either. Most things work perfectly, but the pitch is really strange now (just press the arrows, it's not as it used to be anymore and I have no idea how to change it back) and there are more things I have to work around.

Thing is, Viper isn't updating it anymore so didn't use that one.

I'm really happy with Serato though, and that's even though I've been a Traktor fanboy for a long time. The DDJ-SX is pretty epic

One of my roomies just got the SX. I love it. I'm using it with traktor, works really well.
Only minus from me, is the size. But I guess that's just personal preference. My roomie loves the big size, and believes that it's cool that it almost looks like a CDJ setup. I like small set-ups, but I guess thats the reason I'm going from all-in-one controller to modular now.

Matias from the DJTechTools support just confirmed me the DDJ-SR will be sold in their shop the 1st of November.
They also consider to create custom mappings to go with for aswell the DDJ-SX as the DDJ-SR. w00t

I chime in that i get fantastic results with the JaJa mapping which is still updated on a regular base in regards to the Viper mapping which had it's last update in december last year.

It looks like the DDJ SR has 4 pots for the FX section as opposed to the 3 pots+encoder on the SX, making the SR more suitable for Traktor FX control.

Sounds promising!

Hope Viper's reading this too
Might give you a little heads-up to make one for the SR aswell...
I mean, price-wise, (and ofcoz tech-wise) this can be a total killer in popularity-contest
949 EUR vs. 568 EUR.

I have an SX that I mapped with Viper's mapping. Absolutely love it! Especially the pre mapped effects that are in there.

It's sick controller. Jet to see true potential of this unit in Traktor.

I owned a DDJ-SX and It was really good with the Viper's mapping.
