| Noelia Martig 04.06.2012 | The DJM900NXS as a Midi controller is possible. As Kev said I did make a Midi map template to it but really you only have enough for basic transport controller. ie play/sync/que point 1. To make up some and aquireing more control I did opt to lose 2 channels so I could map out the FX paramters on the gain/high/mid/low knobs. I personally enjoyed using it that way but even I knew it would only be a temp solution and moved on to a APC40 with my tables and mixer. Great combo btw. GL on what you choose. I personally love the DJM900 over the 2000 especially since I am getting a RMX1000 soon. =) Oh yeah I am EDC bound this weekened!!!!!! woot!! |
| Drew Beans 03.06.2012 | Like what fullenglishpint said, I believe it is better to have a dedicated controller (F1/X1) aside the mixer. |

| Tatum Ansaldo 02.06.2012 | Care to say why you believe the 2k is a better mixer? Surely it comes down to preference, and it's not like the sound quality is any better. |
| Nancey Inderlied 01.06.2012 | Neither of those are really controllers. But for an extra $200-$300, the DJM-2k has a massive amount of MIDI control on the screen, as well as just all around being a much better mixer. |
| Addie Engbrecht 01.06.2012 | This would be a better option I believe. 2-channels though |
| Tatum Ansaldo 01.06.2012 | The DB4 has massive midi capabilities considering that it's not designed as a controller. Mixarchitect's traktor mapping is very good, but I do prefer having a dedicated controller. |
| Cliff Lohman 01.06.2012 | Ya, it should work fine.. Look for htbrk's mapping.l if i recall right, he set it up to allow u to basically control all the main transport and load controls frommthe midi of djm. Personally, im not a big fan of using midi on a mixer (i have db4) for transport and loops, etc. i use an x1 which i find is perfect companion. But itll come down to ur style of kixing as to whether it works for u. Technically, its def possible. |
