[@emiliocanta5537]

finally after 6 years using my DDJ-SP1 for at least 1500 gigs I can get some new tool :-) I will love this. So many new good features.

[@RealDJblaze]

Great Breakdown OP!!! PS - Thanks for the Red vinyl at last year's NAMM show!

[@Unit27]

Silent Cue looks dope! No more wasting a Hot Cue for that.

[@DJDNATX]

Unit27 yup

[@danielhipwell3607]

I’ve had the sub controller Ddj-xp2 for months and used rekordbox but the pitch n time expansion pack is peaking my interest to use serato instead and the fact the mat transport controls are available on pad mode 8 is a no brainer. Thank you for this informative video.

[@DanielleKingdjdinosaur]

my Numark Scratch has a limited amount of control and even my 68 didnt cover everything .I like this and the dual native control surface is cool too

[@sandrobaniofficial]

Could be an amazing solution for DVS DJs! I think that I'll test it very soon! Thumb up for #pioneer and #serato

[@RaphaelIsheno-i7j]

I love this product

[@djrickyredz]

Why Serato still cuts off samples when switching banks? That should be changed especially for this controller!

[@DJPHYZ]

FACT

[@nicolasname5239]

I soooo want to see DDJ-SP1 version 2 - knobs knobs knobs

[@robtronik]

Love this upgrade. Definitely getting it!

[@inbituin]

How about giving us the XP2 xml file so we can use it with the XP1 and not throw it away?

[@seasickvision]

That's what I was wondering... I got the XP1...

[@therealdjap]

OP does it again! Great walkthrough!

[@DJALMF3]

Great breakdown of what this badass controller can do. Thank you 🤘🏽

[@DJROCKCEEENTERTAINMENT]

I was waiting for this controller !!!! finally

[@djsinny5186]

Amazingly explained!

[@MyAlteredSoul]

Just a heads up, you’ll have to fork over $249 to Serato to use Pitch Play (Pitch n’ Time) on the XP2.

[@Clem_dow]

how do you press play with this? like start stop?

[@VikToreus]

Dope controller and loaded with features. Just thinking about the size.. might struggle in some DJ booths I work in. The SP1 on a reloop stand just about fits most booth space. This might be a squeeze and rather not have it hanging over the mixer, covering the treble and gain knobs.

[@GlitchComputer]

I need an updated version of this!!

[@Xodiac74]

Great Review Man 🙏👌💯💯💯

[@djallstyle]

Wing able to use this with Serato Studio would be the dopest!!

[@marleykaulima7393]

Not feeling the preset layout can I change it?

[@ic3manofficial]

I'm waiting for Serato to implement the autoloop function as well as rekordbox, set my loop and activate automatically when it reaches the section where loop is activated! Unfortunately, this function is currently missing from Serato a function that would be helpful to any DJ, it would save us a lot of time when we were at the desk.

[@borndfono]

You can already do this. Just save the loop, name it and then you can activate it in the loop are independend from where you are currently in the song with the playhead. When u reach the loop area it will loop until u deactivate it. You even must not save it... you can just set the loop before mixing the song in, let it activated and then use a cue point or click the area you want to mix in from in the track overview waveform and mix in the track while the loop is still active. Hope this helps you!

[@SherwinBajao]

I want one now.

[@Kayplaya]

I got to pad mode 3 before I realized I'm cool with my SP1. This has too much going on lol. Edit: That silent cue is pretty 🔥though 🤔

[@peterg4025]

i see the knob controls folders in Serato, but how do you access subfolders with the XP2?

[@djwhitevevo]

This is great

[@blessedsammytv6776]

Does this baby work with other controllers with the same serato software or only with pioneer controllers??

[@zazadj1]

Serato, why don't you give the possibility to have the mappable silence mode for all controllers?

[@jurjanable]

This devices doesn't have the key option like a DJ controller?

[@OgDj2024]

How do you apply the effects to the music

[@christopherroa9452]

IS THE DDJ XP2 COMPATIBLE WITH THE SERATO REV 1 CONTROLLER? IVE LOOKED EVERYWHERE, PLEASE LET US KNOW!!

[@kreshmusiq]

Hell yeah! When XP2 will be on sale?! And how much?

[@jurjanable]

Hi. Why I cannot activate Pad Mode no 5 for pitch play mode? When i hold Shift and press Pad Mode 1 nothing happens. But if I hold Shift and press twice the Pad Mode 1 the 16 pads becomes all white and when I press the pads nothing happens. Is there something wrong with the device or? Please help. Thank you.

[@selectajohnjohnfrommellowt8539]

Can you use it with a dj controller

[@acargok5695]

Can I have decks 3 and 4 on this while I have 1 and 2 open on the controller? I will buy if it can do that

[@djkai5302]

Yes you can

[@djiceblack167]

Hello, how do I move from Bank A to Bank B on my Ddj xp2 when using my sampler effects without having to change it on my serato software directly. Kindly advise. Thanks

[@djititude2373]

Reloop Neon does most of that? Except for FX sliders?

[@DJPHYZ]

Unfortunately it doesn't work with serato play (like it works with rekordbox) Even if it won't unlock serato, it would be more useful to use it with Serato Play Mode as to prep and play around with flip mode without hurting ur computer keyboard

[@jason2ray]

Just recently purchased the DDJ XP2 to use with my Pioneer S11 Mixer. I cannot swap the Sample Banks on the XP2 using the parameter buttons on the unit as I would on the mixer. I have even tried using the Shift + Parameter button , but it doesnt work. How can I move through the sample banks on the XP2 , without having to touch the mixer or the Laptop? Please help

I am trying to save my midi settings to pad 2 once i double tap but it doesnt save. Even when i go into my settings to save it

[@SeratoHQ]

Hey, please get in touch with us via [e-mail] and we'll be happy to assist

[@josephelibert2464]

no sampler volume...like the sp1???

[@eltruheyo]

I just received my XP2 and hooked it up to my DDJ-1000SRT. When I load a song onto deck 1 (left side), and press the first pad to cue the song, it does not turn red. It does so on deck 2 (right side), but not the left. Do you know what could cause this?

[@SeratoHQ]

Please email us at [e-mail] and we'll help to resolve this issue. Thanks.

[@roberttapia6874]

Why couldn't they do this with the Xp1 or the ddj 1000 controller..sucks..

[@garyusinger]

can you use both sides of the XP2 programed to just one deck?

[@m3ngr3mixes18]

Basically this controller is for dj with mixer that doesn’t have built in controllers like the S9 and the 72? so, i can use this with my old ttm56 and SL3 right?

[@SeratoHQ]

Yes, those pieces of hardware would be perfect to use with this device.

[@ulyssesbenton8082]

Do the pioneer djm_s9 mixer have/do the same function ?

[@eddymac]

Could be missing something here, but I can't seem to figure out how to get post-fader effects (cross or up) working with this. Is it possible?

[@MrWillham3]

Is it compatable with cdj 2000 nexus 1

[@tgk1170]

Hello can you tell me where the Serato Brooklyn studio is located. I've been having some issues with Serato dj and I have not been able to get good customer service from the Serato dj website.

[@SeratoHQ]

Hey there! Feel free to drop our support team a message at [e-mail] :)

[@nabilnaffar2145]

Dope! btw what kind of stand are u using for it? Anything recommended?

[@SeratoHQ]

We don't have any recommendations, but OP! is using a generic laptop stand in this video.

[@spectralknights2]

How about the Flip mode?

[@djmadlive]

so this is designed to be used with turntables and not a controller? I'm looking for something that increases my sample bank...

[@SeratoHQ]

You can use this device with a controller. You also have 8 sample slots in 4 sample banks, which brings your total to 32 sample slots in total. Let us know if you have more questions at [e-mail].

[@MADMAX-71]

Will pioneer xp 1 work on version serato 2.3 ????

[@MakingMadBeats]

Would this thing work in conjunction with the Numark Scratch Mixer? I' m asking especially for controlling the FX. When using the Numark Scratch you can' t save custom FX settings cause everytime you reopen Serato DJ the Scratch Mixer overwrites the settings to fit it' s controls on the mixer surface. So, will there be conflicts between the Scratch and the XP2 Controller? THX

[@SeratoHQ]

Hi there. The FX type shouldn't change when you restart the software with the Scratch connected. The Scratch only changes the FX loaded to Slot 1 (on both sides) if you press one of the FX select buttons. You could save FX banks A and B if you want to use these buttons and still be able to return to a saved bank afterwards. You can still control FX with the XP2's touch strips and FX1,2,3 buttons when using it alongside a Scratch. Whatever depth control is currently being used will alter the FX depth. Same deal with the paddles and touch strips. Whatever was used last determines the on/off state of the FX. Finally, remember that the Scratches FX paddles, depth and FX select buttons will only affect slot 1 (on both sides), so the XP2 can be used to control slots 2 and 3 and the paddles can be used with 1 if you like. Or, just control everything from the XP2. TLDR: Yes, it will work - if you're still unclear about it, please send us an email via [e-mail]

[@MakingMadBeats]

@@SeratoHQ Thx for the detailed reply. Gonna check if this would fit my workflow and send you an e-mail if I have further questions.

[@djwhitevevo]

How much is this baby gonna hit the market? €£¥$

[@SeratoHQ]

Get in touch with your local distributor for info about price.

[@itsamedjmario]

Does the XP2 unlock Serato DVS ?? I just bought denon X1800 and need DVS to use my TTs.

[@SeratoHQ]

No, this device does not unlock DVS. You will need to purchase DVS license.

[@Livetoroll1232]

What kind of stand is it sitting on?

[@80sMixTv]

I want to use the XP2 primarily to trigger my samples. is there a way to midi map things so all my 32 samples in serato (8 for each bank) are mapped to the 32 pads? I tried it and it seems to only trigger whatever bank is chosen in the serato interface. Thanks in advance.

[@SeratoHQ]

Please get in touch with our support team about this by emailing [e-mail]

[@shinyswag]

Serato limits the sampler to be triggered one bank at a time. for example if you switch the bank while a sampler is playing it will stop

[@dj_sobia]

The question now, does it work with serato stems? Or do i have to map it?

[@Wlsn56210]

I saw a video about someone mapping it for Rekordbox, otherwise I usually just use me actual controller for stems

[@frescatziking1873]

How to switch between sampler banks directly from the xp2?

[@SeratoHQ]

Hi there, please read over pages 59 and 60 in the link below for details on how to operate the sample banks via the XP2. Thanks.

[@djiceblack167]

@@SeratoHQ can't find the link to enable me read pages 59 and 60

[@joachimjohann873]

it is possible to get two different banks same time on each side? per example A on deck 1 side and B in deck 2 side.

[@SeratoHQ]

No, but this is a great idea. I'll make sure it is passed on. Thanks.

[@joachimjohann873]

@@SeratoHQ maybe in future release of serato dj pro?

[@micahjames5663]

I was hoping that with 32 pads on this thing, all samples would be usable at one time without switching banks...oh well, maybe later they might implement it

[@erickadolfocancinoaguilera495]

¿Pioneer DJ DDJ XP2 is compatible for mapping in the serato studio?

[@SeratoHQ]

No, mapping currently isn't possible with Serato Studio, but this is something we would like to add.

The dam efx section doesn’t work when I plug in my s9 on the xp2. Whyyyy

Hi there, please send us an email to [e-mail]. Thanks.

You get the efx sorted?

[@Mayimbe_]

How compatible is it with Serato Studio?

[@SeratoHQ]

You will need to Midi map this device to Serato Studio in order for you to operate the app via this device. Send us an email to [e-mail] for more help.

[@Mayimbe_]

@@SeratoHQ I don't have that device. I was just wanted to know because I like the form factor. I would like to have hardware control of Serato Studio but I don't want a whole DJ controler. A dedicated Serato Studio controller would be real nice.

[@icecoldjohnnyy]

Would this work with serato play 🤔

[@SeratoHQ]

It wouldn't, I'm afraid as Serato Play is for DJing without any hardware connected :)

[@icecoldjohnnyy]

Serato makes sense 👌🏽

[@lokdeng]

Awww but im broke tho🔥🔥🔥

[@rapwithzorro]

Does it have any strip search?

No, it doesn't have strip search.

Hi OP. Please, help me. Rekordbox have keyboard pad mode, Serato have pitch play pad mode. But rekordbox have key shift pad mode, serato doesn't heve this function, or this is possible pad function on serato like key shift pad mode on rekordbox?
