Features
This unit features carefully arranged interfaces for various operations including
“BIG JOG”, which gives you total control over scratch play, “PERFORMANCE PADS”,
which can be used to add arrangements to music with beats, rolling and other
dynamic actions produced using HOT CUE, SAMPLER and other functions, and
“4-CHANNEL MIXER”, which supports multi-track mixing with the 4-deck function,
providing unique DJ performance tools when using “Serato DJ”.
Also, the unit provides “SOUND COLOR FX” and “OSCILLATOR” functions so that
original arrangements can be added to the music being played back.
Furthermore, numerous input and output terminals support a variety of DJ styles.
Featuring aluminum material for the top panel, the design makes the unit look high
quality, which is appropriate in a variety of scenes such as nightclubs, home parties,
etc.
BIG JOG
We have achieved the shortest time required from when jog is operated until when
the control signal is transferred to the software. 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, the “ON JOG DISPLAY” displays the playback status of
music and the current playback position so that the DJ can perform scratching
more accurately. Also, the unit is equipped with “JOG FEELING ADJUST”, which is
popular in the CDJ Series. It is possible to adjust the operation load and back spin
continuous time during scratch play to match particular tastes.
MULTI-COLOR PERFORMANCE PADS
“PERFORMANCE PADS”, a large rubber pad used to assign and operate functions
such as HOT CUE and SAMPLER, is positioned at the front of the unit.
Music can be arranged by dynamic actions such as beating and rolling and the
volume can be stronger or weaker depending on the strength of the beat.
Also, each pad has built-in multi-color illumination that can be used to instanta-
neously understand the selected pad mode and playing status of each pad through
illumination colors and lit condition.
4-CHANNEL MIXER
The unit includes “4-CHANNEL MIXER”, which allows the DJ to independently oper-
ate songs being played back with four decks. Four songs can be mixed to create a
highly individualistic 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 understood instantly.
This unit retains the control panel layout of the Pioneer DJM series, the world stan-
dard in DJ mixers.
The simple, easy-to-understand control panel layout not only facilitates DJ perfor-
mances but also makes it easy for DJs using the unit for the first time to operate it
without hesitation, so it can be used without worry as a permanently installed mixer
in the club.
OSCILLATOR
The unit is equipped with an “OSCILLATOR” function that generates four types
of sound (NOISE, CYMBAL, SIREN, and HORN). Operation is simple. Just press
the button of the sound type you wish to output. You can create original music by
superimposing oscillator sound over the music you are playing back or further
emphasize the climax of music. Also, you can change the tone by simply turning
the [

] control, making it possible to generate oscillator
sound that is matched to the music.
SOUND COLOR FX
The unit is equipped with four “SOUND COLOR FX” functions (ECHO, JET, PITCH,
and FILTER), achieving a wide range of musical arrangements.
By simply turning the control, it is possible to create the effect you want, and a vari-
ety of remix can be achieved such as adding original arrangements to the music.
Also, BPM information can be obtained from “Serato DJ”, making it possible to add
the ECHO effect linked with the BPM of the song being played back.
PLUG AND PLAY DUAL USB PORT
Two USB sound cards are provided to connect the unit to up to two computers at the
same time.
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
going through the need to make troublesome settings.
The USB selector located at the top side can be used to switch between the two
sound cards with a single action. When one DJ takes over from another, this func-
tion provides a smooth transition between the two computers without sound being
interrupted.
Flexible Connectivity
Four external input systems and two MIC input systems are provided to connect to a
CD player or analog turntable.
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 professional PA device output.
All kinds of party scenes and DJ playing styles are supported.
DVS Supported
The sound cards of the unit are compatible with the DVS (Digital Vinyl System) func-
tion of “Serato DJ”.
Signals from the control tone disk (an optional dedicated disk used to operate
“Serato DJ”) played back by the player connected to an external input terminal is
output to a computer via the sound card of the unit to operate the decks of “Serato
DJ”.
DURABLE FADER
A slide structure is used for the crossfader and channel fader, in which the fader
knob is supported by two metal shafts.
This achieves smooth operability without wobble and also high durability.
Also, effects on inside the faders caused by liquid and dust are minimized.
An independently developed “MAGVEL FADER” magnetic system is equipped for
the crossfader to support scratch play, which provides high durability of more than
10 000 000 operations, and fine operability.
The channel fader has about three times better operation durability than the previ-
ous model (DJM-800).
HIGH SOUND QUALITY
Leveraging the audio circuit of Pioneer audio devices for clubs, the unit provides
powerful sound quality faithful to the original. It also reduces contact resistance
through use of an AC inlet having a wide contact area with the power cable, and
achieves stable and powerful sound even in the DJ booth in a loud environment.
By adopting a high performance D/A converter and low jitter crystal oscillator made
by Wolfson Microelectronics, the unit reproduces clear and powerful club sound
faithful to the original.
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.
SLIP MODE
This unit is equipped with a Slip Mode function by which the sound continues in
the background while such operations as looping, scratching and hot cueing are
being performed. This allows DJ performances without changing the original track’s
development after such playback operations as looping, scratching and hot cueing
are completed.
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.
