The DDJ-XP2 is a USB add-on controller that gives rekordbox and Serato DJ Pro users 32 multicolored performance pads, two Slide FX touch strips, and a dedicated loop section borrowed from the DJM-S9. It has no mixer, audio interface, or jog wheels, so it supplements an existing setup rather than replacing it. Reviewers praise the solid build, non-slip rubber base, and fast pad response, but note that it only makes sense if you already use compatible software and want more hands-on control.

Owners and reviewers generally rate the DDJ-XP2 highly for its robust pads, solid build, and tight integration with rekordbox and Serato DJ Pro. Criticisms focus on its niche role as an add-on and the need for a separate main setup.
Raise your game with the DDJ-XP2. Whether you use rekordbox dj or Serato DJ Pro, you can get the most from the new features in the latest versions of both DJ applications – released today – with this upgraded DJ controller. The DDJ-XP2 adds to the functionality of the popular DDJ-XP1 but retains the solid build quality and intuitive layout of the original unit. Let your fingers fly with 32 robust, multicolored Performance Pads (16 on each deck) and enjoy lightning-fast responses. Thanks to its sturdy construction, with a non-slip rubber surround, the DDJ-XP2 allows you to finger drum as hard as you like. Get creative with tactile control of the Key Shift and Key Sync features in either of the compatible applications and dynamically apply your chosen effect by running your finger along the Slide FX touch strips. The DDJ-XP2 ushers in powerful new pad modes in rekordbox dj and Serato DJ Pro. Make full use of Transport mode, which assigns Transport controls such as play, pause, cue, and pitch up/down to the Performance Pads on the DDJ-XP2. And, for the first time ever, use 16 pads to control a single mode in Serato DJ Pro. Until now, Serato DJ Pro has only supported up to eight pads in any mode. If you’ve used the DJM-S9 before you’ll be pleased to know the DDJ-XP2 inherits the looping section from the flagship scratch mixer. It’s an important upgrade that will help you feel more comfortable and confident during performances. Plus, the new Silent Cue feature in Serato DJ Pro works the same way as the existing feature for rekordbox dvs (license key included) – enabling you to silently cue up tracks with the faders open on the mixer and trigger them instantly from Hot Cue points. The DDJ-XP2 will be available in October at a MAP price of $299.To use the DJ controller with rekordbox dj/dvs, update to the latest version of the application and activate the included license keys, worth a combined $229. To unlock Serato DJ Pro, you’ll need to connect the DDJ-XP2 and update to the newly released version of the application. Serato DVS is also supported (Expansion Pack available separately). And you can protect your DDJ-XP2 from bumps and scrapes by carrying it in the DJC-XP1 BAG. Constructed with an EVA Durashock molded body, ballistic polyester, fleeced lining, and eggshell foam, it’s a hard-wearing but lightweight solution. The fit is perfectly snug and there’s a built-in compartment for your cables. Key features of the DDJ-XP2 1. Seamless compatibility with rekordbox dj and Serato DJ Pro Feel at home using the DDJ-XP2 with rekordbox dj or Serato DJ Pro. You’ll be able to easily trigger popular features such as Hot Cues, Beat Jump and Slicer, bringing more creativity to your performances no matter which DJ performance application you choose. 2. Highly responsive, robust and portable design Put all your energy into your performances and the DDJ-XP2 will handle everything you throw at it. Built to withstand energetic finger drumming on the 32 tactile multicolored Performance Pads, the robust construction and non-slip rubber surround ensure that the DJ controller stays in place and keeps performing. You can also use the upper section to control key and beat sync status, and to select tracks. 3. Slide FX Dynamically control your chosen pad effect in rekordbox dj, or a combination of effects in Serato DJ Pro, by touching the Slide FX strips and moving your finger up and down. 4. Serato DJ Pro’s first-ever 16-pad modes The DDJ-XP2 introduces Serato DJ Pro’s first ever pad modes that support 16 pads per deck. These modes assign eight pads each to two different features, e.g. Hot Cue mode and Sampler mode, so you can trigger Hot Cues and samples at the same time, without switching modes. The other new modes expand the creative possibilities of powerful features such as Pitch Play, which you can now use to trigger cue points in twice as many semitones as before (Pitch ‘n Time DJ Expansion Pack required – available separately). New modes PAD MODE 1： Hot Cue mode and Sampler mode PAD MODE 2： Auto Loop mode PAD MODE 3： Slicer mode and Sampler mode PAD MODE 4： Saved Loop mode and Manual Loop mode PAD MODE 5： Pitch Play mode PAD MODE 6： Roll mode PAD MODE 7： Slicer Loop mode and Sampler mode PAD MODE 8： Transport mode and Beatgrid Edit mode 5. Support for new Transport mode in rekordbox dj The Transport mode in Serato DJ Pro, also now accessible in rekordbox dj, enables you to use the pads on the DDJ-XP2 as Transport controls for your music. Play, pause, cue, pitch up/down tracks, and more. 6. Support for new Silent Cue in Serato DJ Pro If you’re using rekordbox dvs (license key included) or Serato DJ Pro, switch on Silent Cue and the deck will be muted. This means you can silently cue up tracks with the faders open on the mixer and drop them into your mix instantly by hitting a Hot Cue – there’s no need to touch the faders. And, if you’re using rekordbox dvs or Serato DVS (Expansion Pack available separately) with turntables, switch on Silent Cue and the music will restart instantly when you press Hot Cue on a muted deck. This avoids the sound of the music speeding up as the turntable starts to spin. Simply choose a Hot Cue, then hit play on the deck and it will sound the same as hitting a Cue on a DJ player. 7. Other features Loop section from the DJM-S9 – feel at home when using the looping controls Bus power via USB – no need to plug into an outlet Includes rekordbox dj and rekordbox dvs licenses – worth a combined $229 Kensington lock – keep your controller secure
