I'm telling you about how I'm using the RANE Twelve MKII with Rekordbox and the XDJ-XZ.
The version of Rekordbox Alpha Theta at the time of writing is 7.0.4.0021
For those few interested in the topic, as you know, there is very little news on the real possibility of using RANE motorized controllers with Rekordbox. Officially they are configured for Serato, Traktor both DVS and USB as well as Virtual DJ.
And Rekordbox is not included in the possible options provided.
Browsing on the tube I found someone who actually setting the Rane on DVS demonstrates that it is possible to use these wonderful controllers with Rekordbox. And I must say that it is truly pleasant and fun (personal tastes obviously).
What I was missing, however, was at least using the rotary selector that the MKII is equipped with to navigate through the playlists, choose and load the songs on the Deck in the Rekordbox way.
And I did it simply using the Rekordbox interface itself Via midi mapping.
At the moment I have only mapped these functions, I would like more for fun than anything else to also map the HotCues by turning on the LED corresponding to the 8 soft buttons that the controller has but I have not yet found the mapping codes to turn them on. It would be nice to have them.
Below I put the image of the mapping that I made for my configuration.
If you want to use it you will obviously do so, at your own risk as is customary to say but I am happy to share this little work with you.
