Checkout Pioneer XDJ-RX2, DDJ-XP1 and Interface-2 all for Rekordbox DJ. In case you do not know the battle for supremacy in the DJ Booth is heating up. Currently the following manufacturers are vying for our attention. At least 2 products are released weekly by manufacturers.

  • Pioneer DJ – leading manufacturer of DJ equipment and software. Pioneer’s products are focused on Serato DJ, Pioneer’s own Rekordbox DJ and standalone users.
  • inMusic Group – parent company to Rane, Denon, Numark, Alto, Alesis, Akai amongst others with a wide range of hardware and software. The inMusic Group released an avalanche this year and we are expecting more (such as Rane Twelve and Rane Seventy Two) before the year ends.
  • And the others including new entrants into the DJ equipment manufacturing like Roland and Mixars (both companies have also released a range of products to watch out for in 2017).

Well, back to the crux of this post. See below features of the new products from Pioneer DJ.

  • The layout is divided into an upper section controlling key and beat sync status, while the lower section triggers the 32 Performance Pads. FX are dynamically controlled by touching the Slide FX strips.
  • Dynamically control your chosen combination of FX by touching the Slide FX strips and moving your finger up and down.

  • Customise the arrangement of your 32 performance pads by assigning your favourite pad modes and features to each pad.
  • Avoid the music speeding up as your turntable starts to revolve by switching on Silent Cue. The music will restart instantly at the correct BPM when you press play on a stopped deck.
