Hi, I'm so digging these DDJs... I don't know much about Rekordbox (yet) but I'm hoping to have a few questions answered:
1. If I bought a DDJ-SX used, do I get a full license for Rekordbox DJ? How about (not that I'm as interested) Serato DJ? Full license, even a used DDJ-SX? (after watching videos on Rekordbox all night-- I'm fully convinced this destroys Serato DJ).
2. On the DDJ-SX, the performance pads... can they access the secondary performance settings in Rekordbox, from the controller? For instance.... FX1 and FX2 (from one pad), Slicer / Slicer Loop (from one pad)? Or by using Shift? I'm fairly certain the DDJ-SX2 can, but I'm not sure about the SX.
3. Would it be wiser to just get a DDJ-RX?
4. Does the DDJ-RX have the jog wheel light settings capability, like the SX? Such as... having the "needle" either "black, moving around a white circle" or "tiny white light, moving around a black circle"? Hard to explain, but I saw a video of someone using the SX, the opposite way that the default light/needle is used.
Thank you so much for any/all answers to these questions! I'm really stoked and trying to save money by buying a used SX, or splurging and going for the RX.

DDJ-R_ series controllers include a full license for rekordbox and will not work with Serato DJ. Serato DJ only works with hardware that is certified and allowed by Serato, such as all the DDJ-S_ series controllers which, aside from the SZ2, will also work with rekordbox. The DDJ-RX is more comparable to the the DDJ-SX2 than the original SX.
