Well I've been happy with my CDJ2000nexus for the last couple of weeks, but tried to find a way to sort my collection by key as have done on the CDJ2000mk1 over the last few years. I use the Camelot wheel to know which tunes go with others- on the old CDJ2000 you can browse tracks by Camelot or notation. 12A, 3B, 5B, as well as F# Bb..etc
However frustratingly enough the new CDJ2000nexus only displays the notation F#Bb only... Camelot is not being displayed- even though my whole collection on rekordbox is Camelot.
Took two snapshots to show you the difference- first is a CDJ-2000
Second is a CDJ-2000nexus
Yes there have been times at gigs I look for a suitable track that's in or close to the same key- and Camelot was always helpful with the CDJ2000s
Now with the new CDJ2000nexus I'm kinda lost trying to find out what tracks would work at those late night/midday afterhours gigs...
Can this be modified in an update Gavin or Pulse?
Thanks ;)

@maDJam > Yes, we've brought this to the attention of the engineers. Part of the problem is, MiK have licensed the Camelot wheel - so if Pioneer want to use it, we've to pay MiK. What you can do yourself in rekordbox is batch rename all the tracks according to the Camelot wheel e.g. rename your B Major key tagged tracks to 1B.
Thanks Gavin- I'm aware of the whole copyright problems cause I actually use MIK myself... but on the older CDJ2000s I was able to sort my whole playlist/collection by "KEY" (via rekordbox preferences) and I'd get the 1B, 5A, 7B...etc
However on the 2000nexus I get the Camelot showing up while playing the track at the top right of the screen... so the info is stored on the track- I just can't sort the whole playlist/collection by "KEY"
Check the pictures I posted- hope it makes sense... one is a nexus the other the original 2000 :)
Yes, I understand what you are trying to achieve. We've made these suggestions to the development team.
