DDJ-400 Sync Start like Serato?

Hello, until last year i use a DDJ-SX2 with Serato.
There was Function called Sync Start, is there something similar in Rekordbox?

The DDJ-400 arrived tomorrow here.

One more question: Master Tempo is available on DDJ-400?

I've been using Serato for years and oddly, "Sync Start" is not a function I'm familiar with, and Googling that term didn't yield any results. Regardless, the easiest way to ensure your tracks are in sync with rekordbox is to have one of the decks set to sync as the master, and press the SYNC button on the other deck, then they'll both be in sync, even when you load another track.

Yes, there is Master Tempo on the DDJ-400; just press and hold the BEAT SYNC button:

Im German so it is hard to explain in English what "Sync-Start" means, i'll try it:

Deck 1 is live and plays a track, all Faders are open and live, then you press Play at Deck 2 and the Track is immediatly and automaticaly synced with Deck 1

Yes; that is standard if you have sync enabled within rekordbox; the next track you load will also be sync'd to the previous track unless you disable it.

Ok and if you press play it will started fully synced with the Track that is played at this time?

If you have it set to full sync, yes -- BPM sync is the other option and that would simply sync the tempos, but not align the beats of the songs themselves.

The synchronization starts when the fader is almost all raised ... is it possible to start it when the fader is in the middle?

No, faderstart is triggered only at the start of the fader travel.
