Your question:
Hello, I want to buy a Numark NS4FX, but I’d like to know if it works with Djay Pro in an Ipad IOS. If it doesn’t, do you have any plans to do its mapping?
Hi @Carlos_Alexandre_Cam, this hardware is only supported on macOS and Windows. Currently there are no plans to map this for iOS.
not meaning to post hijack but I have seen this a few times with the NS4FX (which is literally a better equipped Mixtrack Pro Platinum) - I tested this with iOS and it seems to work without issue on a plug and play basis, am I missing something that prevents this from being on the “officially supported” list for iOS?
Hi @thisisJNR, I’ve moved your comment to this topic as it is directly related. Please confirm that you have tested the Numark NS4FX with djay on iOS and that it is working as expected. I will also pass this onto our engineering team for further review. Thanks!
Hi @Slak_Jaw I can confirm that the NS4FX is recognised and works natively on iOS.
If there is any particular feature the devs would like me to test just let me know. The screens and platters all work as expected and I don’t recall having to remap anything
Hi @thisisJNR .
Did you test the “second layer” of performance pad modes? Do they work as well?
I’m asking this because the Mixtrack Platinum FX only has one layer of pad modes, and the NS4FX has 2 layers. By “layers” I mean something like “Shift + HOT CUE button” = “Pad FX mode”, for example.
Regards
Hi @Carlos_Alexandre_Cam , I’ll check this in the morning and get back to you as I can’t recall if that second layer worked

This is what I mean, I have list of 4 channel controllers that’s not supported on iOS. They just saying “this and that” and it’s not gonna happen…
I just wanted to build for myself semi pro “standalone” iPad + Good sound quality 4 channel controller…
Only supported ones is traktor s3 and FLX 10, ( they had some kind of arrangement so they work) for sound quality of these 2 no need to say much…
That leaves out mixon 8 pro, Other 4 channel controllers not gonna supported because of mixon 8, that’s what I think, if it’s supported no one is gonna buy it.
And then comes to mixtour pro, competition like z1mk2 x1mk3 it’s not gonna be supported.
Mixon 8, mixtour pro is reloop hottest items.
Conclusion
Djay and reloop have exclusive agreements or they are 2 different named companies with one owner.
I did a quick check this morning and although shift+hotcue isn’t programmed it is recognised as a mappable midi command. I will have to test further to see if this can be used to provide a second layer of pad modes
Hi @thisisJNR, I spoke with the dev team and they confirmed that this hardware is officially supported on iOS. We have added it to the hardware support page. Thanks for your help!
Wow! Good news!
I’m just happy more controllers are supported, hoping you guys able to support every controllers in the market one day
Thank you so much
Credit goes to you!
Great news! thanks for raising that with the team. The NS4FX is one of my favourite recommendations as it comes with true 4ch support, an aux in and XLR outputs at an affordable pricepoint.
Hi guys! I have news on this topic here. I just bought a brand new NS4FX, based on the fact that some users have used it on DJAY PRO for IOS. Unfotunatelly, it’s not GREAT news…
Well, I just tested it yesterday on IOS (Ipad 9, newest IOS) and on Windows 11, and both had the same behaviour:
when pressing Play on deck 3, it automatically sets the crossfader to THRU, even if you have set it do LEFT. It automatically turns to LEFT again, when you pause it. Problem doesn’t occur if you hit CUE.
This was easily fixed by adjusting the controller mapping in the software (this wrong mapping is there on de end of the list)
this is the really bad news: It’s not possible to work with the “second layer” of pad modes. In Serato PRO, if you hit SHIFT+CUE, you get into the Pitch Play pad mode and the CUE button starts to flash; hitting SHIFT + AUTO LOOP, you get into ROLL pad mode and the AUTO LOOP button starts to flash, and so on.
But I got nothing here on Djay Pro. Neither using SHIFT, nor trying a double click, nor trying to hold the buttons.
I wish I coud have some answer / solution from Algorriddim about that. Right now, I just seem to be using a more expensive Mixtrack Platinum FX, since the pad modes options are just the same.
Look forward to hearing from you guys, and thanks in advance for your help.
Hi @Carlos_Alexandre_Cam, sorry to hear you’re experiencing these issues.
Hi @Slak_Jaw .
Yes, I was using the built in mapping.
But I cant’t find anything on Numark’s website about firmware updates for the NS4FX. I’ve even registered my gear on Numark’s site and found no possibility for firmware updates.
So I suppose there aren’t any updates do be done.
Can you proceed with your investigations, pleeeease?
Thanks for confirming @Carlos_Alexandre_Cam. I don’t have access to this specific hardware, so I have passed this onto our hardware engineer to see if they can replicate what you’ve described on their gear. I’ll report back when I hear back from them. Thanks!
Hi @Slak_Jaw ! Any news for me? Where your engineers able to check what I’ve described here? I’m really looking forward for this official answer (and maybe for the official solution)!
Best regards
@Slak_Jaw , if you take a look at the message from @thisisJNR from nov 24, you will see that he
“… did a quick check this morning and although shift+hotcue isn’t programmed it is recognised as a mappable midi command. I will have to test further to see if this can be used to provide a second layer of pad modes”.
The fact of being a mappable midi command not necessarily means that we can map them as pad modes (which are modifiers) on the app. I’ve seen some discussion about that use of modifiers in other Djay Pro topics. We would have to try to edit the XML file, which is not a very easy thing to do, and I don’t really know if it would be possible for end users.
If your team only manages to set the (shift + pad mode - like in the DDj REV1) or (double click pad mode - like in the Reloop Mixon 4) as modifiers, we will be able to map the other pad functions… It wouldn’t be the perfect solution, but at least we can work with both PAD MODE layers.
Anxius for having your reply!!!
