Yes - I'm aware DVS is not yet available for Rekordbox DJ. I'm hoping that Rekordbox will come out with timecoded vinyl that will work through the DJM S9. I have not bought the mixer yet because of one issue I've always had with rekordbox -- the requirement to load hot cues. I'm aware that you can set auto-loading hot cues on the newer CDJ's - but sometimes it doesn't work. And also - why is that even an option? Why would anyone NOT want their hot cues to auto load? I've always disliked that about the rekordbox system. When you load a track, it's hot cues should be there ready to go - like any other dj software ever made.
Pulse - any insight on how hot cues will be handled with the DJM S9 and Rekordbox DJ?
With rekordbox, the cues load per-track. This would be the same for the S9 even with DVS.
The reason you might not want to have your hot cues load on a CDJ was to be able to jump around to any point in your collection (or CD as it used to be) instantly. This was a big feature for performance DJs or scratch DJs who wanted quick access to different songs.

i can see how that would be a good feature for scratch dj's. thanks for the insight pulse. one other question - do you think they will come out with a dedicated rekordbox dvs mixer - or will they use the s9 as the flagship dvs mixer - and add rekordbox functionality to it?
I'm not too sure ... the S9 is pretty badass!
agreed! surely they will at least add rekordbox dvs functionality to the s9.. can you confirm?
Unfortunately I can't confirm anything regarding the DVS pack at this time.
for anyone else who might be wondering - i figured out why my hot cues would only auto load "sometimes." when you press next track on a cdj, the hot cues will not auto load, but when you go to the browse screen and select the track by pushing in the rotary knob, they will auto load.
@Justin > That's correct - there are several conditions where the CDJs will fall to a "performance" preference and not load the hot cues, instead prioritizing the ability for quicker playback.
