Serato DJ Pro with Numark Platinum FX

My Dj Param 11:02 AM - 30 September, 2022
Dear members,

Can you help, I've been using my Pioneer DDJ SZ2 controller with Serato DJ Pro (Current version) on my mac book pro with no issues but needed a more compact controller for basic gigs and for international events. I bought the Numark Platinum FX controller and thought I could just plug the Numark controller and away I go but I've been wrong. Once I run Serato Dj Pro and connect the Numark controller its asking me to download the trial version of Serato Dj Pro or download load Serato Lite.

I don't want to download the Serato Lite as I'll need to build all my creates up again and prefer to use Serato Dj Pro. I shouldn't need to download the trial version as I have the full version of Serato DJ Pro which came with the Pioneer DDJ SZ2.

How can I get the Numark Platinum FX to work with my existing Serato DJ Pro.

Do I need a driver ?

Do I need to allow permission for my MacBook pro to load its own driver when connecting the Numark Platinum FX ?

Could someone please let me know step by step what to do. Your help would be most appreciated.

Many thanks

The Serato DJ Pro license you got with the SZ2 is a hardware unlock license. This means that you can only use Serato DJ Pro when the SZ2 is connected via USB.

The Numark controller does not unlock Serato DJ Pro. You can only use it with the Lite version — unless you buy or subscribe to a stand alone license.

Hi Nilre,

Really appreciate the above I truly didn't know about this but does make sense.

I was wondering if there is a way to then copy and paste the crates created in serato DJ Pro into Serato Lite. Let Serato Dj lite locate the songs.

Have you ever tried this. Just to want to have to recreate all the creates again if I can avoid it.
