Nov 20, 2015  I am using Traktor 2.8.1 with DJM-900NSX and it works fine but I did the installation some months ago with Traktor 2.7.3 (the 32 bit version) I don't know if the new Traktor can recognise the DJM-900NSX because is 64 bit and the Pioneer driver still 32 bit, you can follow the installation procedure step by step and find out yourself.

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.

Some important notes when mapping inside Traktor:

• 2.The unit is not recognized by Mac. Be sure to uninstall the driver before you install the new version. For details on how to uninstall the driver, see ”Important notice for i nstalling the driver software on macOS High Sierra 10.13 or later “2.2. How to reinstall the driver software'.

• 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.

Pioneer Djm 900 Nexus Firmware

• Hi guys,

  my club has upgraded to DJM-900 NXS2 and CDJ-2000 NXS2 and i couldn’t get it to work like the 1st Gen DJM-900 NXS.
  Even though some people have been telling me all of these new gear have Traktor native support like the 1st generation djm-900 or the XDJ-1000 :/

  website/ official website doesn’t disclose any native- support for third party software, can someone who is certain or someone from Pioneer clarify this?

  much appreciated.

  Best place would be at the Pioneer forums for this question. There it’s much more likely you will run into someone from Pioneer 🙂 .

  Having said that, if I remember correctly in the recent review on the main site here, it actually says something about not being clear if the NXS2 setup will be supported by/support Traktor.

  Traktor is less and less interested in supporting third party gear (and allegedly making it harder on other manufacturers to make the option possible) and Pioneer now has it’s own RekordBox DJ software they will want to push. I am guessing it’s not very high on either Traktor or Pioneer’s wishlist, but I could be wrong.

  The latest info is while the NXS2 does basically support the same HID/MIDI maps, that there still are issues with Traktor and that Native Instruments are looking into the matter to provide an updated version.
  The NXS2 line is still so new, that such hiccups are to be expected.
  Traktor pro 2 instrumentals. They say the units basically work, but not all functions are available yet, maybe you can tell us more what was not working.

  Could you let me know how you got your DJM working with Traktor?

  I have a full Nexus 2 setup which I’m effectively trying to get working as a controller.

  I half-managed to get RKB DJ working via one USB from the mixer, but only one deck worked and I gave up quickly.

  After a fresh PC install, I’m having a play with Traktor. With just the mixer plugged in via USB, no joy. I’ve plugged one of the CDJs in via the USB on the back and it is now working in HID mode, including hot-cues and stuff. I can’t figure out how to get the mixer working though.

  Ideally I’d like to play about using a Kontrol X1mk2 and the CDJs as a complete Traktor unit.

  Cancel that – I seem to have got it, everything just needs its own USB connection rather than going through the mixer’s one connection. Works a charm with 2x CDJs, DJM and Kontrol X1.

  Actually though, maybe it IS using the LAN cables and switch for the Pro DJ link?

  Ok it’s fair to say I’ve no idea how I’ve done it and taking it to do in a club in a non-starter at this point, but whatever I have done at home is pretty cool.
