DDJ-400 works with other MIDI-compatible software besides rekordbox, by assigning MIDI message. Please refer to the list of MIDI message to find mapping values of all buttons and knobs. To assign MIDI message to all software function, please refer to your manufacturers' software manual. Pioneer’s 2-channel DDJ-400 controller for Rekordbox DJ software is destined to ease any beginners path to professionalism. This controller will help you hone your skills comfortably, the layout of the controller’s buttons and knobs is similar to that used on Pioneer’s flagship installation NXS2, and with the same elements as special cue buttons, Beat FX, CDJ loop controls, etc.
VirtualDJ Pro Full can be used as a stand-alone software in case of emergency, but to truly unleash its power, you might want to connect it to some dedicated hardware.
VirtualDJ Pro Full is natively compatible with an impressive list of hardware from many manufacturers. And, with the full MIDI compatibility and the open plugin architecture, it can connect to virtually anything.
You will find below a small list of the best hardware for digital DJ one can find on the market today. Many of which come with a version of VirtualDJ Limited Edition (LE) so you can immediately start using your controller.
But, if you don't find what you need here, keep in mind that VirtualDJ Pro Full is compatible with many other controllers, mixers, etc. on the market.
Depending on how and where you mix, you might consider different options:
- Mobile DJs will probably want to get all-in-one controllers, easy to transport and install anywhere.
- Resident DJs will probably want rackmount or table-top controllers (depending on the space available in the booth).
- Turntablists will want a TimeCode solution and a good sound card interface.
- Beginners will be more interested in all-in-one solutions.

Pioneer DJ just announced that its two-channel DDJ-400 controller is now compatible with djay Pro for Mac / PC, which expands the controller’s software compatibility from Rekordbox DJ, Virtual DJ and djay for iOS, and that also means you can now spin using Spotify streaming if you’ve got a Spotify Premium account. The company has also released the unit in silver to give users a second choice of colour.
The DDJ-400 is an excellent entry level controller for those wanting to get into digital DJing but want a layout and controls that are similar to a CDJ/DJM set-up. Granted, it doesn’t have as many bells and whistles as its bigger siblings (DDJ-1000, DDJ-800) but you do get a full set of performance pads, touch-capacitive jogs and even Beat FX controls that mimic some of the workflow needed to operate a DJM mixer.
