Support for Pioneer DJM-900 Nexus 2 on iOS (Pro DJ)

Dear Algoriddim Support Team,

I hope you are doing well.

I am writing to request support for connecting iOS devices, such as iPads and iPhones, to the Pioneer DJM-900 Nexus 2 mixer in order to use the Pro DJ app on mobile devices. This mixer is one of the most popular models worldwide, with a large user base eagerly waiting for this functionality to be implemented.

For many DJs, having the ability to use Pro DJ on iOS with the DJM-900 Nexus 2 is crucial. This feature would significantly enhance the user experience and expand the possibilities for mobile DJing.

I appreciate your time and consideration, and I look forward to your response.

Best regards,
Max Bodrov

Well, if the device is not class compliant, you should contact Pioneer to fix this first.

As it looks like there are drivers for windows, and macOS, this usually means that the device needs special software to be able to communicate between OS and the device.

So class compliant means, that the device should be compatible with iOS directly, not compatible using additional software like drivers

Hi @MAX_BODROV, thanks for the suggestion. However, @dj_romy_fi is correct. This hardware is not USB class compliant so it will not work with iOS devices. Non class compliant devices require installed drivers to function. iOS does not support driver installation. This is something that needs to be addressed by the hardware manufacturer before we can provide support in djay. Please contact the manufacturer to express you interest in making this change. I hope that helps!

Actually it should be possible to create an audio driver for iPad with M-Chips. I tried to create an audioDriverKit for the DJM900NSX (not the Nexus 2), but I got stuck, as you need an authorization from Apple to create audioDriverKits.

AudioDriverKit is available on macOS for Intel and Apple Silicon devices, and on iPadOS for devices with an M-series processor.
