With Rekordbox, it looks for a few “official” drivers – these are the only ones allowed to control the decks with jogwheels. The most basic way that software looks for a MIDI device is by checking the names of all connected devices.

Step 1: Choose An Official Mapping To Emulate Rekordbox DJ’s official mappings in the package contents Operating System note: these instructions are for Mac – we’ve asked our own mapping experts to also check it out on Windows to see if it’s possible there as well. A copy of Bome’s MIDI Translator Pro (€59 – although the trial will work in 20 minute sessions) – this might not be necessary if you have a class-compliant newer device (see below).A copy of Rekordbox DJ ( the free trial should work).Technically you can map these to any non-stepped encoder but we all appreciate a properly sized jog. Any DJ controller that sends MIDI and has jogwheels (obviously Pioneer-brand DDJ controllers already send jogwheel info to Rekordbox, so this doesn’t really apply).Complete your mapping as you would normally.Change the MIDI messages of your jogwheel to match what a Pioneer controller would send.Change the name of your MIDI controller to one that Pioneer DJ thinks should have jogwheel control.The steps for this “hack” (really just more a renaming and remapping) are fairly simple: This is mainly aimed at mapping secondary controllers and giving Rekordbox a shot before you head out and buy a certified device to lift some crippling mapping limitations. You can even save your own mappings (if you do this, consider uploading them to our MIDI Mapping repository for others to check out!).

Right now in Pioneer DJ’s premiere DJ software, you’re able to MIDI-map almost any controller to any functionality in the software with a few interesting exceptions. Get Any MIDI Jogwheels Working In Rekordbox In today’s article, we take a closer look at one method for using any MIDI controller’s jogwheels in Rekordbox DJ.įull credit for this concept goes to our friends at Hispasonic, specifically Teo Tormo, who first wrote an article explaining this method here (Spanish-only) last Friday. Almost every function in the software was MIDI mappable, except for jogwheel control, shift layers, VU meters and a handful of others which were kept exclusively for Pioneer’s own DDJ controllers. Early in the development of Rekordbox DJ, Pioneer added MIDI mapping (in the 4.0.6 update).
