Features

This unit is a dedicated controller equipped with interfaces for the intuitive operation of various functions of rekordbox dj. The layout of the various

operation interfaces such as “BIGJOG,” “PERFORMANCE PADS,” and “2-CHANNEL MIXER” which embody the design philosophy of Pioneer DJ profes-

sional equipment and the tuning implemented to achieve operation optimal for use in combination with rekordbox dj have facilitated high response

performance to allow DJs to perform as they wish. Also, this unit is equipped with dedicated operation interfaces for controlling the “BEAT FX” and

“SEQUENCER” functions so that original arrangements can be added to the music being played back. Furthermore, numerous input and output termi-

nals support a variety of DJ styles. Featuring aluminum material for the top panel, the design makes this unit look high quality, which is appropriate in a

variety of scenes such as events, home parties, etc.

rekordbox

rekordbox is a composite software that enables track management and DJ performances.

rekordbox dj

The DJ performance function of rekordbox is called rekordbox dj. Enter the license key shown on the rekordbox dj license key card included with

this product to use rekordbox dj.

BIG JOG & ON JOG INDICATOR

FLEXIBLE CONNECTIVITY

This unit is equipped with a “BIG JOG” that is of the optimum size and

operation load for performing fast-forward and fast-reverse operations

manually and playing scratch performances. The jog operation informa-

tion can be sent to a computer more faithfully with low delay thanks to

the adoption of an HID as the system for communication with rekordbox,

which enables scratch performances with operation that feels even

more like operation with analog records. Furthermore, the “ON JOG

INDICATOR” positioned at the center allows the DJ to instantly know the

deck performance state and mode selection state by lighting colors.

Two external input systems and one MIC input system are provided to

connect to DJ players, analog players, etc.

The audio of external equipment can also be mixed. In addition, two

MASTER OUT systems and one BOOTH OUT system are provided to also

enable connections to various PA devices.

NEEDLE SEARCH

Points can be searched for simply by touching the touch pad with a

finger. This makes for intuitive, speedy searching with the sense of

touching the music directly.

“MULTI-COLOR PERFORMANCE PADS”

“MULTI-COLOR PERFORMANCE PADS”, large rubber pads used to oper-

ate functions such as HOT CUE, PAD FX, and SAMPLER, are positioned

at the front of the unit.

Music can be arranged by dynamic actions such as beating and rolling.

Also, each pad has built-in multi-color illumination so you can instanta-

neously understand the information required for your performance from

the color and lighting state of the pad.

PLUG AND PLAY USB PORT

A USB sound card is provided to connect this unit to a computer. All of

the buttons and controls of this unit are set to be linked with “rekordbox

dj” beforehand so that the DJ can begin performances immediately

using “rekordbox dj” without having to make troublesome settings after

simply connecting to a computer with a USB cable.

SAMPLER SEQUENCER

The “SEQUENCER” function that enables recording and playing sampler

operation patterns can be intuitively operated from a dedicated opera-

tion interface on this unit.

The “SEQUENCER” function and dedicated operation interface can be

used to easily create phrases using sampler sounds. Furthermore, a cre-

ated phrase can be loaded into a deck by pressing the “LOAD” button.

Loading a phrase into a deck allows arrangements to be added to music

using the various functions of the deck such as scratching and reverse

playback to create music performances with even greater originality.

HIGH SOUND QUALITY

The audio output circuitry uses a low-jitter clock and high performance

DAC to reproduce the original sound faithfully and achieve clear club

sound. In addition, the sound quality technology Pioneer has developed

with its professional series is used to achieve the industry’s highest level

of sound quality for a DJ controller.

PROFESSIONAL QUALITY DESIGN

Aluminum material on the top panel and jog plate provides a sense of

high quality design.

This unit is an essential part of DJ performance in clubs and home party

scenes.

“BEAT FX” & “RELEASE FX”

BEAT FX which can add an effect linked to the tempo of the track being

played and RELEASE FX which can turn off the music sound so that just

the effect sound is output are operable from dedicated operation inter-

faces. This facilitates adding a new accent to music and use for effect

sounds when mixing.

2-CHANNEL MIXER

This unit incorporates “2-CHANNEL MIXER,” which retains the control

panel layout of the Pioneer DJM series, the world standard in DJ mixers.

A master level meter and channel level meter are each placed at the

center of the mixer to allow the DJ to know each level in an instant.
