Here’s a comprehensive review of the Numark Mixtrack Pro 2 with a focus on using it with Rekordbox (since the controller was originally designed for Serato DJ Lite/Ignition, but many users remap it for Rekordbox).

Numark Mixtrack Pro II — Rekordbox MIDI Mapping Guide

This article shows how to map a Numark Mixtrack Pro II to Rekordbox DJ (v6+), including a ready-to-use mapping file, step-by-step instructions, common mappings, troubleshooting tips, and performance suggestions.

Part 3: Finding the Best Numark Mixtrack Pro 2 rekordbox Mapping

This is the heart of the article. Since Numark never released an official map, the community built them. Here are the top three options.

4.3 Performance Pads

The Mixtrack Pro 2 has four pad modes (Hot Cue, Loop, Sample, FX). These must be mapped via MIDI notes and a mode selector variable.

Suggested mapping:

| Pad Mode | Pad 1 | Pad 2 | Pad 3 | Pad 4 | |----------|-------|-------|-------|-------| | Hot Cue | Hot Cue 1 | Hot Cue 2 | Hot Cue 3 | Hot Cue 4 | | Loop | Active Loop | Set Loop In | Set Loop Out | Loop 1/2x | | Sample | Sampler Slot 1 | Sampler Slot 2 | Sampler Slot 3 | Sampler Slot 4 | | FX | FX1 On | FX1 Select | FX2 On | FX2 Select |

Note: Native pad modes require MIDI feedback LEDs. Rekordbox can send MIDI out to illuminate pads.

How to Import the Mapping

  1. Connect your Mixtrack Pro 2 → enable MIDI mode (usually SHIFT + both deck load buttons, or check manual – the screen will say “MIDI”).
  2. In Rekordbox → Preferences → Controller → MIDI tab.
  3. Click Import and select the .csv mapping file.
  4. Assign the MIDI port (In/Out) to “Numark Mixtrack Pro 2” (or the generic USB MIDI device name).
  5. Set “Audio” → Use the Mixtrack Pro 2 as your sound card (ASIO/CoreAudio).

Step 1: Install the Official Numark Driver

Even though rekordbox won't recognize the controller natively, your computer must see it as a MIDI device.
