Features
This unit is an intuitive DJ controller designed specifically for controlling the various
functions of our DJ software, “rekordbox dj” (free). The unit has various control
interfaces, such as the “BIG JOB,” “PERFORMANCE PADS,” and “2-CHANNEL
MIXER,” which were incorporated from the design concept of our professional DJ
products. It also allows the DJ to improvise freely, thanks to the highly responsive
performance of the tuner when combining tracks with “rekordbox dj.” Using other
interfaces, designed specifically for controlling “BEAT FX” and “LOOP,” original
arrangements can be added to the music being played back. Furthermore, the
aluminum jog plate gives the unit a high-quality appearance, perfect for a variety of
scenes, such as events, house parties, etc.
PERFORMANCE PADS
Eight “PERFORMANCE PADS,” large rubber pads used to operate functions such as
HOT CUE, PAD FX, and SAMPLER on rekordbox, are positioned on each operating
deck. Music can be arranged by simply interacting with these pads, such as by
tapping or thrumming them.
BIG JOG
The unit is equipped with the “BIG JOG,” which has the optimal size and functional
capacity for manually fast-forwarding, rewinding and scratching. By using this
HID as a means to communicate with rekordbox, operating information from the
jog is sent to the computer accurately and with little delay. Also, a DJ can perform
scratching the same way that they would with an analog record.
2-CHANNEL MIXER
The unit includes a “2-CHANNEL MIXER,” whose operating panel layout was
adopted from the Pioneer DJM series, a world standard design for DJ mixers. The
unit has a “TRIM” control on each channel and a channel level meter located in the
center of the mixer unit, so a DJ can see the input volume levels quickly and can
make adjustments. Also, the unit has a “MANUAL FILTER” control for each channel,
so the DJ can immediately initiate drastic changes to a track with one operation
when mixing or arranging tracks.
BEAT FX
The unit has an interface for “BEAT EFFECT,” which can add an effect that coincides
with the tempo of the track being played. This function allows a DJ to add new
accents to a track, and can be used as a sound effect for mixing tracks.
PROFESSIONAL QUALITY DESIGN
This unit is large compared to other models in the same price bracket. The jog plate
is made of aluminum, just like top-ranked models, and the surface is treated with a
hairline finish, so that the unit has a strong design presence.
rekordbox dj
This unit comes with a license key for “rekordbox dj,” adding DJ performance
functions to rekordbox. After activating “rekordbox dj” via the license key, you can
enjoy not only the fundamentals of being a DJ, such as scratching and mixing,
but also various functions of “rekordbox dj,” such as “HOT CUE,” “SAMPLER,” and
effects. Furthermore, all of the buttons and controls on this unit correspond with
individual functions of “rekordbox dj” in a plug-and-play capacity, so you can enjoy
being a DJ immediately after connecting to your computer.
