So that's my quick teardown of the video. I don't really want to gossip about the numbers that I've been told, as this would become internet fact no matter how many disclaimers I put before it. It does seem that the existing DDJ models have just had a price cut, which would suggest that this particular unit might come in nearer the rest of the real world of product pricing, if only to add some space between them. Will it be a DDJ again or something entirely different? I think it's too cute for a pointless string of letters and numbers.Īnd I guess we should discuss price. Perhaps it's in big letters all over the back of the unit.

So we don't know the software package, nor the name. You'll note that some controllers ship with Virtual DJ LE or Traktor LE depending on the market. Perhaps this is a one controller fits all approach, but will almost certainly come with some LE version of some software or other. It certainly has some very Traktor-centric features like a separate filter knob and sample deck volume control, but equally the rest of it could work with any number of different software packages including ITCH and Virtual DJ. As the camera pans, there are no logos in evidence. So the video tells us an awful lot about the features of this controller, but still doesn't definitely yield a software partner. To save space, it looks like the meters are built right into the fader channels - nice.

What the hell is pulse mode? Has long time Pioneer support DJ Pulse got his own feature on this unit? Does it immediately turn you into a tall Canadian? Right above it is a tempo range button, but but right next to that is an intriguing control - a button for vinyl/pulse mode. They are however small with a sync/master button below them. There's a sample deck volume control a la Kontrol S2 and above that an aux/mic control too.Ĭontrary to popular thought, there are pitch faders. Seems that there are 2 effects with a wet/dry control along with 3 parameters.Ĥ sample slots and 4 hot cues - no dual purpose buttons here - quite separate. One thing to note - this has all the outward appearances of being a 2 channel unit, but it does have deck A/C and deck B/D buttons. But given the headphone sockets on the front, it would appear that this has an audio interface built right in. Pioneer seem keen to not show us the rear of the unit. It has obvious Pioneer design cues such as the transport buttons and jog wheel design, but Im loving the curvy retro stylings of. Given their late entry into the controller market, they couldnt really bring out something that look just the same as everything else. Looks like the big feet at the back come off for those who want a more horizontal experience. First impressions - Pioneer clearly have a new design guide. This will look cool in a bar, rather than just looking like a boxy controller.
