Economic Player CD that can be used as a midi? Help!

I’m close to buy a Pioneer DDJ SX, but also I want two CD players to use as midi controllers that be cheap (My first option are the Numark NDX400 although not midi, but I could spend a little more), so my questions are :

  1. Can I complement the four channels? I mean, you could use both of the sx as “a” and “b”, and the two midi players as “c” and “d”
  2. If I use in that way (like midi), I’m almost certain that the USB input is disabled and the disk but, can anybody confirm me?
  3. If I buy the NDX400 (non midi), can I record via SX using it as external mixer using a computer?
  4. If I get the NDX400 (not midi), what happens if I put two channels of the SX in midi and the other two players in line?
  5. Can you recommend me another economic midi CD player?

Thanks to any reply, Cheers! :slight_smile:

Thank you, but nope, i am not a beginner, i know that i can use two channels in a deck, but i want the cd players more as an “emergency” (I mean, for example if in a gig, the software fails, as happened me last time) but also that i can use it normally, and i prefer a controller because it have more functions that i can get in a normal mixer for a more affordable price.
Thank you :slight_smile:

I don’t get it. Why do you want a CD player and software?

If you just want platters, get a Denon SC2000.
