Features
This unit is an all-in-one DJ controller designed specifically for use with “Serato
DJ”, the DJ software by Serato Audio Research. Interfaces such as “BIG JOG”,
“PERFORMANCE PADS” and 4-Channel Mixer are positioned with room to spare
and unique DJ performance using “Serato DJ” is possible. Also, numerous input
and output terminals support a variety of DJ styles. Featuring a top panel made of
aluminum material, the design makes the unit look high quality, which is appropri-
ate for a variety of scenes including nightclubs, home parties, etc.
“BIG JOG” & “ON JOG DISPLAY”
The shortest time in the industry required from when jog is operated until when the
control signal is transferred to the software has been achieved. Additionally, “BIG
JOG”, a large-sized jog, allows the DJ to play scratches as they wish with smooth
operability. At the center of the jog, “ON JOG DISPLAY” displays the music playback
status and the current playback position so that the DJ can perform scratching
more accurately.
“MULTI-COLOR PERFORMANCE PADS”
“MULTI-COLOR PERFORMANCE PADS”, a large rubber pad used to assign and
operate eight types of functions, including HOT CUE and SAMPLER, is positioned
at the front side of the unit. Music can be arranged by dynamic actions such as
beating and rolling and the volume of the sampler can be increased or decreased
depending on the strength of the beat. Also, each pad has built-in multi-color illumi-
nation that can be used to instantaneously understand the selected pad mode and
playing status of each pad through the illumination color and lighting condition.
“Serato Flip”
This unit is equipped with the operation interface specifically for “Serato Flip” func-
tion by which “HOT CUE” operation patterns can be recorded and the recorded
“HOT CUE” operation patterns can be played back. This allows the DJ to operate the
“Serato Flip” function intuitively. Using both the “Serato Flip” function and a special
operation interface, it is easy to repeat or skip a specific section, allowing the DJ to
perform differently from normal playback.
4 Channel Mixer
The unit includes a 4-Channel Mixer, which allows the DJ to independently oper-
ate tracks being played back with four decks. Four tracks can be mixed to create a
highly individualized DJ mix. Level meters are located near the master unit and the
operation interface of each channel, so that input and output levels can be under-
stood instantly.
Serato DJ Plug And Play
The sound cards of the unit and all buttons and controls are set to be linked with
“Serato DJ” beforehand so that the DJ can begin playing using “Serato DJ” without
the need to make troublesome settings.
Flexible Connectivity
Four external input systems are provided to connect to a DJ player, analog turntable
and microphone. Mixing is possible without going through a computer, so the unit
can be used as a single DJ mixer as well. In addition, two MASTER OUT systems and
one BOOTH OUT system are provided to handle various PA device connection. Also,
the unit supports the DVS function of “Serato DJ” and by purchasing a separately
available Serato DVS Expansion Pack, it is possible to operate the “Serato DJ” deck
using the CDJ or analog turntable connected to the unit.
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 Build 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.
