Most people love the DJM 900 + Traktor combo, but assume you need to bring your own controller to the club. Did you know that in loads of DJ booths around the world, there’s a controller that’s already there? The Pioneer DJM 900 is completely MIDI-mappable, and can be used in any number of diverse ways – learn how to set it up with this tutorial from new DJTT contributor Angel.
Almost every single knob, fader, switch, or button is MIDI-mappable on the DJM-900 Nexus to programs like Traktor. That means that you can use knobs/buttons/faders to control any-thing in your software without extra equipment. Instead of bringing a dedicated effects controller, just midi map the DJM 900 to Traktor Effect and you will have a perfect performance console.
Native Instruments’ TRAKTOR PRO 2 and TRAKTOR SCRATCH PRO 2 DJ software is now compatible with the DVS feature of our flagship DJM-900NXS2 mixer, and the USB - HID control feature of our CDJ-2000NXS2 multi player. This comes under the Pioneer DJ Certification Program, an initiative to evaluate products from other companies and certify them as compatible with our DJ gear so you know you can. Oct 21, 2018 At the end, i switch to Traktor Scratch Pro 2 and the calibration process works fine with audio 6 and Djm 850 as well. I'm running: Traktor Pro 3.0.0 31 / Audio 6 / Traktor Kontrol X1 MK2 / Pioneer Djm 850 and 2X Cdj 900. MacOS Sierra 10.12.6 / MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports) and 3,1 GHz Intel Core i5. Apr 18, 2018 A new version of Traktor Pro 2.11.3 is about to be released - but first, Native Instruments is sharing it via a public beta. The new update brings better DJM and CDJ integration, and a few other exciting features. Feb 18, 2020 In Native Instruments’ “Traktor Pro Public Beta Test” forum, there’s been a fair amount of activity since early January. The news is that Traktor Pro 3.3 is coming out in the near future, and a number of new features and bug fixes are included – including XDJ-1000MK2 support. At the same time, two controllers finally.
Some important notes when mapping inside Traktor:

- Faders & Knobs: Make sure to select “Fader / Knob” as type of controller and “Direct” for Interaction Mode.
- Switches: Switches should also be set to “Fader / Knob” as type of controller, and “Relative” for interaction mode.
- Depending on the mapped function of the switch, you’ll want to play with the rotary sensitivity that best fits the adjustment you need for whatever you have mapped it to do.
- Buttons: Buttons should be set to “Button” as type of Controller, however they can only be used in “Hold” for their interaction mode as all buttons on the 900 are built in as On-Off and can’t function in any other way.
- MIDI-OUT: The 900 Nexus cannot receive a midi signal, so you do not have to map any Midi-out signals inside of Traktor.
