internal sound cards that are compatible with Serato DJ, so perfor-
mances using Serato DJ can be held immediately after connecting

a control vinyl (record) or control CD.

design and a panel layout providing high operability of our DJM series,
the standard models in clubs throughout the world, thereby offering
strong support for all types of DJ performances.
MAGVEL FADER PRO

crossfader to support scratch play, which provides high operability and
high durability, and enables to adjusts the operations.
In addition to the “FEELING ADJUST” function that adjusts the operation
load to an appropriate level and the structure that reduces the unneces-
sary rebounds, this unit’s high operability is achieved by replacing the
fader bumper with the desired one.
The detailed operational settings that match each scratch style are also
possible by the adjustment of the curve characteristics and the reverse
function.
MULTI-COLOR PERFORMANCE PADS
Each channel is equipped with eight rubber pads that are used to oper-
ate HOT CUE and SAMPLER of “Serato DJ”.
The use of a short-stroke seat switch for the large pad (20 mm x 20 mm)
achieves the high responsiveness to soft touches.
DJ performances optimizing the use of various functions of “Serato DJ”
are possible by the OLED display that enables you to instantly grasp
the eight pad modes and the multi-color illumination on the pads that
changes in color according to the “Serato DJ” operations.

“BEAT FX” linked with beats and many effects of “Serato DJ”.
Six effects assigned to the effect buttons can be easily changed to
another, and the frequently used effects and the parameter can be called

independently to each channel with the [
FILTER
] control. The effect
assigned to the [
FILTER
] control can be changed to effects other than

DUAL SOUNDCARDS
Two USB sound cards are provided to connect the unit to up to
two computers at the same time. They can be switched using the

INPUT SELECT

converters that are used by the the high-end model of Pioneer DJ player
“CDJ-2000NXS” and the DJ mixer “DJM-2000NXS”, it also uses the high
sound quality design comparable to the designs of those models to
provide powerful sound quality faithful to the original. Furthermore, this
unit achieves stable sound by reducing contact resistance through use
of an AC inlet having a wide contact area with the power cable even in
the DJ booth in a loud environment.
