Pioneer DDJ-SP-1 and Rekordbox 6

Hi there,

I purchased the Pioneer DDJ-SP1 and i am trying to connect it to rekordbox 6 (free version). Unfortunately nothing is happening in Rekordbox 6.

I have a Mac with the latest iOS and rekordbox 6 (free version) in performance mode. I connect the pioneer DDJ-SP1 via the USB and it powers. However, nothing happens in rekordbox 6. I don't have any other device connected like a mixer or a cdj, or other, because i don't own one.

Why is rekordbox not recognizing it? Do i need a midi mapping file for the DDJ-SP1 to work in recordbox 6? I know that back in the day of recordbox 4 this was needed but this is supposed to work seamlessly with rekotrdbox 6. What am i doing wrong? Any help is really appreciated.

Many thanks.
