Primary Software:
Rekordbox: This is the core software.
Standalone Mode: You analyze music in Rekordbox on your computer, export it to USB drives, and play directly from the XDJ-RR’s USB ports.
Controller Mode: Connect the XDJ-RR to your PC/Mac via USB-B to unlock full performance features (like Hot Cues, Beat FX) within the Rekordbox software on your computer.
Other Software (Via MIDI Mapping):
While not natively plug-and-play, the XDJ-RR can be used with other MIDI-compatible software by assigning MIDI messages, allowing you to control different programs.
This means you can potentially use it with software like:
Serato DJ Pro (requires mapping)
Traktor Pro (requires mapping)
Other DJ applications that support MIDI mapping.

The XDJ-RR is built around rekordbox, offering a pathway from bedroom practice to club performance, but its MIDI capability opens the door to other software with some configuration.
