    No not easily.

    The only thing you could do is get 2x CDJ 2000 Nexus which are recognized in Serato and map them manually. (Same goes for Traktor). The CDJ 2000 Nexus is the only CDJ you can do this with!

    However that setup will cost you double the price for lets say a DDJ-SX or even a DDJ-SZ. So it would be cheaper to just buy one of these if you want Pioneer. And you can almost get 2 Terminal Mix 8 or VCI-400 for the price of a Single CDJ 2000 Nexus.

    with tractor it no problem but could be a problem with Serato. Many of Pioneers CDJ’s are HID supported in both Serato and Traktor. All others CDJ’s that also can work as midi controllers should work fine with Traktor (Need mapping though) with Serato it’s a different story as you can mapp the JOG wheels as far as I know.

    Sorry to correct, but while many HID CDJs will be detected by Traktor, they cannot be dealt with as standalone with another controller. It only works in a Traktor Scratch certified environment.
    The CDJ 2000 Nexus is the only CDJ that you can individually assign, no matter if it is Serato or Traktor.

    The CDJ850 is only a media player, it has no MIDI or HID functions. I would not buy those.
