A Detection window will appear next, to verify the proper detection.

Click on the “DJM-900NXS2” button and VirtualDJ will automatically create and apply the default audio configuration using the built-in audio interface of the Pioneer DJM-900NXS2

Click to OK.

The device is now ready to operate with VirtualDJ.


MIDI Operation


The device should be visible in the MAPPING tab of Config and the “factory default” available/selected from the Mappings drop-down list.



Note, that nearly all buttons, knobs and faders of the DJM-900NXS2 offer hardware/firmware/internal functionality, thus it is highly recommenced not to change the assigned actions, as the hardware functionality will still apply. Some of the device's keys are pre-mapped to "fake" mode actions, just as a mixing aid (show status on the GUI).


AUDIO Setup


The unit has a pre-defined Audio setup and a special button in the AUDIO tab of Config to provide that. Alternative setups can be applied in the same window. See Advanced Setup



For further software settings please refer to the User Guide of VirtualDJ.
