MIDI mapping support makes Loop/Slicer Capture possible on SX2 (?)

As Rekordbox now supports MIDI mapping for controllers, does this mean I could control features like Loop Capture, Slicer Capture and/or Beat FX Time Adjustment with an additional MIDI controller (e.g. AKAI LPD8) ?

I am trying to decide whether to buy an SX2 or RX - but I read there are so many issues with Rekordbox DJ at the moment and many DJs are frustrated. So I imagined I could buy the SX2 - which cannot control every feature of Rekordbox like the RX - and get help from a MIDI controller to fill the gaps.

Is it possible?

@Peter > Yes! You can use virtually any MIDI controller to manipulate various controls within rekordbox, including the loops, slicer and effects.

By the way, are you able to tell me for how long any Pioneer DJ controller is planned to be supported, in general?

The reason I am asking is I have had a bad experience with an Allen & Heath Xone DX, which I bought 4-5 years ago, which is no longer supported and the device is trash, so to speak, as I cannot use it with any up-to-date OS anymore. That is the reason I want to buy a new controller now.

I have become over-cautious about this, afraid it will happen with and SX2 for example. If I buy an SX2, can I be sure it will be supported for at least 2-3 more years, starting today?

The majority of Pioneer gear is supported for quite a long time, the exact amount of time we don't know.  I would expect a new SX2 to be capable of use for at least 4-5 years, but the variable is the updates that Pioneer has no influence on.

Thank you Jay. That's the answer I have been hoping to get!
