Participantno you can’t if the SX is not connected Serato DJ goes into ofline mode and you only have acces to 1 deck

Participanta tsi file is like a setup file for traktor it contains all the midi date information about what your cantrollers buttons and knobs will do in Traktor. A tsi file can also contain your audio setting, GUI, Favorit folder and such.
https://maps.djtechtools.com/mappings/851 thats to one made by Viper and should get you going without to much problems. he’s also made a good description of what everything doesgullum
Participant@Dj DD Yes it works perfect with Traktor although scratching is not 100% as good as with S4 but I never scratch.
With the propper tsi file you get everything that traktor has to offer mapped to the controller I also have an F1 so I’ve mapped the sampler for beatgridding.@ Terry 42 I’ve had mine now about 2 weeks and I’ve not encounter one problem so I’ve not needed any support 😀 so don’t know about that.
And I still stand by comment that this is the best controller for Traktor there is. Serato DJ I’m just not feeling it I don’t like the way the FX work. They work almost like you expect from a DAW not realy like something you’d do on the fly. The only thing I would like to have in Traktor from SDJ would be the slicer but then again I’d would not use it that much.gullum
ParticipantI’m loving post fader FX, the Z EQ/Filter, Macro FX (some are realy nice) and Flux is cool but I’m not using it that much.
My fav is def the post fader FXgullum
ParticipantI’ve got some of my grear as B-stock and in most cases is just a customer returned unit that has been returned within 30 days.
When ever I make an order for lights I always check to see it they have one B-stock as I can often save what I’ll pay in tax for that light.gullum
Participantif you already have the Traktor I’m still going to say VMS4.1 and that’s mainly because I don’t like the layout of Denon controllers. Also if you sometime in the future want to expand and use the Remixdecks the VMS4.1 gives you EQ and Volume controlls over deck C&D in Traktor. The Denon does have the Filter knob that I always missed on my VMS4 though.
If your not going to be scratching the the Twitch is also a realy good kontroller and will give you the most mapping option of all 4 choices.gullum
Participantapart form scratching the DDJ SX is miles better then the S4 for Traktor. There simply is nothing that the S4 can do that the DDJ SX can’t do and then some more. There is already a realy good tsi file for the DDJ SX from Viper. I’ve made my own that I’m not finished with yet.
Each button in each deck mode has it’s own midi message and even the shift+button has is own midi messages, so you almost don’t need to use modifiers at all I’ve only used 2 modifiers to get looproll working in flux mode.
[media=youtube]iNDfNGClGDA[/media] a smal demo of looproll with and without Flux mode
Because of the many options it’s like having an S4 + midifighter + CDJ2000 and standalone mixer in 1 unit.
the DDJ SX is now fully working with Serato DJ, Traktor Pro, Virtual DJ and Djay and soon will be mapped to DJ Player for iPad 😀
The DDJ SX is quite big (witch IMO is good) it’s not nearly as heavy as it looks only 5.8 KG the S4 is 3.4 KG in comparison my VMS4 witch is smaler then bouth is 6 KG.
Well it clear that I love the controller 😀gullum
ParticipantI’ve also use the DDJ SX for 2 nights 5 hour each over the weekend using my own tsi for Traktor and I had no problems whats so ever with the unit. Only problem was I sometimes forgot I had eco out activated and when using internal mixing I can cue in headpohones and not know it was activated so when moving the fader up there was no sound. After the first time it happened and I figured why it was not a problem anymore. Good think of DJ out with a new mapp is you find new things to mapp you did not think of at home. It has so much more power and sound so much better then my VMS4 and I’m realy glad I did this purcase. I’m going to make a video of using it with Traktor just need to do some more mappings.

ParticipantWith the NI S2 you get a full version of Traktor while with the VMS4 you get Traktor LE witch does suport 4 decks but is limeted and you’ll need to upgrade it the get it fully working.
But the VMS4.1 has 4 channel inputs + 2 mic so you can hoock up othere audio sources and can work as a mixer without a laptop conneced the NI S2 has only 1 mic input but is working fully with Traktor.
Dennon MC3000 also has 2 line inputs but comes with Virtual DJ (at least from my provider) but is the only one of them that has a filter knob.
If I were to choose between the 3 of them I’d go VMS4.1 for it’s inputs and 4 fader mixer. but if you were to consider the NI S4 instead of the S2 I’d get the NI over VMS
with S2 you get full version of Traktor
with VMS you get a LE version but a full version or upgrade are insane cheep nowso it’s more what futures you need of the controller

Participantdid not say much header says “Serato DJ Upgrade Comming soon” witch I might have missunderstood as an update 🙁 then only a link to their newsletter suscription page.

ParticipantI totaly love it. it is a bit big but a lot lighter then it looks. Mixer feels a lote like the DJM 800 or 900 , then knobs are nice and stiff fader also. most button have a nice click feel so can feel that you have pressed them. The pads are almost identical to Maschine pads, I wouldn’t mind if the had the click feel of the F1 would be better for hotcue jogeling. Jogwheel also feel realy good. The sound is lovely realy alot louder then my VMS4.
I tried hooking up my American Audio Radius 3000 to test the standalone mixer and it also works amazingly well nice filter and EQ, I also connected a Shure PG58 and it does not distort as some have reported their mic does.
Serato DJ it’s an ok software but at the version 1 there are lots of things they need to add, scraching DJ should us Serato DJ as it’s best with this controller. I’ve mostley used the controller with Traktor Pro 2.6 and it works like a charm with DDJ SX.
With Traktor the DDJ SX feels like it’s was made with the lates version in mind. Vipers tsi gives you all S4 functionaletis + a lot more. I’ve started on my own tsi. with the DDJ SX you get everything Flux (slip button) post fader FX, several pad banks(Mapped to your hearth desire). I can’t see any controller for a EDM DJ tahat can give you so much kontroll over Traktor, Hip Hop (scratch)DJ’s who want to use Traktor this is probable not the one for you.
There is also of today a VDJ mapper for it, only just tried it and most functions from the standar VDJ skin are mapped.
This is the most compleat Traktor controller I’ve ever used.
For Serato users this is the be all controller for Serato DJ, Intro and Itch controllers that will get compadabillety later will all be missing some futures. I resived an email today telling me that a new version of Serato DJ is on it’s way.gullum
Participantguess someone is happy now 😀 you going to be spending a lot of time just messing areound with all it can do for a long time 😀

ParticipantI have a shure PG58 and don’t have any issues with it and in serato dj the jogs are good I’m not a scratch DJ so can’t give an opinion how good it realy is. In Traktor it’s also good with the Viper mapping although I haven’t played with the controller more then an Hour or so I’m in love. Love at first sight.
It’s kind of like you see a girl and you like her looks, then you talk to her and your in love 😀gullum
