Exporting Custom MIDI Mappings in Rekordbox

Rekordbox offers a simple way to save your unique controller assignments, preserving your customized buttons, knobs, and faders.

Step-by-Step Export Process

Open Rekordbox, go to Preferences (the cog icon), then Controller > MIDI. Select your specific MIDI device. Below the mapping list, click the Export button. Save your mapping as a .midi file to a secure folder. This is vital for backup and transfer.

Why Backup Your MIDI Mappings?

Regular backups prevent data loss from system issues or software reinstalls. They streamline transferring your setup to new computers or restoring after a clean Rekordbox installation, ensuring uninterrupted performance and production.

Importing and Restoring MIDI Mappings

Re-importing a saved mapping is equally straightforward.

Restoring Your Custom Setup

In the same Rekordbox MIDI preferences section, use the Import button. Select your previously saved .midi file. Once imported, your controller instantly recognizes your personalized layout, eliminating manual reconfiguration.

To export your custom MIDI mapping in Rekordbox, open Preferences, navigate to Controller > MIDI, select your device, and click the Export button to save the .midi file.
