Control your set via Transport mode





The Transport mode found in Serato DJ Pro can now also be found in rekordbox DJ software, and it’s fully supported by the DDJ-XP2. You’ll be able to use the performance pads on the DDJ-XP2 as transport controls for your music. You’ll be able to control play, pause, cue, pitch up/down, and other functions directly from the multicolored pads.





Supports Serato DJ Pro’s 16-pad modes





The DDJ-XP2 perfectly complements Serato DJ Pro’s 16-pad control modes for each deck. A total of eight different pad modes offer big performance potential by combining two functions for each pad. You’ll be able to trigger hot cues and samples simultaneously, engage slicer loop mode and sampler mode at the same time, and much more.





Pad Editor for flexible pad layouts





Use the DDJ-XP2’s pad editor to customize the 32 performance pads for your personal performance style. Maybe you’d like the top eight pads to select Hot Cues while using the rest of the pads for the keyboard feature, or perhaps you’d like a different configuration for each deck. You’ll be able to assign pad modes individually, allowing for a ton of flexibility when it comes to controlling your rekordbox software.





Silent Cue for instant starts with no rev-up





When you’re using rekordbox dvs and turntables, or Serato DJ Pro, engage the DDJ-XP2’s Silent Cue button before pressing play on a stopped deck. This will make the track start instantly, avoiding the speed-up effect caused as the deck revs up to full speed.
