NEW: Pioneer DDJ-SZ digital dj controller 2014 for SERATO DJ Pro DJ stage level !!! Coming May 2014

Pioneer unveils NEW: Pioneer DDJ-SZ digital dj controller 2014 for SERATO DJ Pro DJ stage level !!!

Coming May 2014 :


Coming soon! The ultimate professional four-channel controller designed specifically for Serato DJ.

Adopts professional DJ equipment design with excellent operability

Taking a lead from technology and know-how cultivated through development of professional DJ equipment, the DDJ-SZ is a DJ controller with the same level of operability as Pioneer’s professional DJ equipment. Authentic DJ performances can be given as though playing with a component DJ system combining multi-player and mixer.

"BIG JOG" for accurate performance
The DDJ-SZ features a “BIG JOG” with a diameter of 206mm – the same as that of the “CDJ-2000NXS” pro DJ/club-oriented multi player – with excellent operability. Precise scratch performances have been made possible with the inclusion of an “ON JOG DISPLAY” in the center of the JOG, showing the playback status and position. The popular “JOG FEELING ADJUST” feature from the CDJ series also returns, so users can adjust to their liking the control load and continuous backspin time, etc. during scratch performances. The DDJ-SZ also features the industry’s fastest JOG response time (the time from operation of the JOG until the operation signal is transmitted to the software), enabling scratch performances exactly as intended.

4-CHANNEL MIXER
Mixer parts using the same layout as in professional models
The DDJ-SZ inherits its control parts layout from Pioneer's professional-oriented DJM series, which is used in clubs around the world. With a simple, easy-to-understand layout, and generous spaces between each control part, the DDJ-SZ delivers comfortable, dynamic controls. Also, level meters are positioned next to the control interface for the master and each channel, so the input and output levels can be ascertained instantly during performance.

PERFORMANCE PADS
Large pads for dynamic performance and comfortable controls
Large rubber “PERFORMANCE PADS” have been positioned at the front of the unit for control of functions such as HOT CUE and SAMPLER. As well as being able to apply arrangements to music with dynamic actions such as hits and rolls, the audio volume of these actions can be made stronger or weaker depending on the strength with which the pads are hit. Also, the color and on/off status of the multicolor illuminations built into each pad make it possible to determine the mode of the selected pad and the performance status of all pads at a glance.

Two USB soundcards for smooth DJ handovers

Two sound cards and USB ports enable two computers to be connected at the same time. A dedicated A/B button on each side of the controller enables DJs to split the controller and assign each half between the two USB ports for seamless DJ handovers with no more awkward gaps in the music.

Various performance functions deliver diverse music arrangements and smooth mixes

DJs can enjoy even more creative freedom thanks to a high/low pass filter on every channel, including the two MIC channels and sampler, plus Master channel, while each effects can be fine-tuned using the large rotary parameter dial. High-quality FX include the new Oscillator– Noise, Siren, Cymbal and Horn – as well as popular Sound Color FX – Pitch, Echo, Jet and Filter

“OSCILLATOR” adds sounds to produce new musical developments
The DDJ-SZ is equipped with an “OSCILLATOR” that emits four types of sound (NOISE, SIREN, CYMBAL, HORN). Simply select the type of sound you want to output and turn the knob to produce new developments in the music by overlaying sounds on top of the music being played, further emphasizing exciting parts of the music, and so on.

“SOUND COLOR FX” adds diverse arrangements to music
The DDJ-SZ includes four types of “SOUND COLOR FX” functions (PITCH, JET, ECHO, FILTER), which are a popular part of the DJM series. Various effects can be added to the music simply by turning the knob, opening up the possibility of a diverse range of remixes. It is also possible to synchronize ECHO to the BPM of the music being played by obtaining BPM information from “Serato DJ”.

The latest DJ software Serato DJ (free to download) for a truly unique DJing experience

Serato DJ
In addition to 4-deck and sampler functions, the latest “Serato DJ”DJ software from Serato also comes with “SLIP MODE”, and FX powered by iZotope to arrange tracks in a wide variety of styles.

①SLIP MODE
DJing function that allows tracks to continue playing in the background while other tracks are looped, scratched or hot cued, without affecting the original track.

② New FX powered by iZotope
High quality FX newly developed by iZotope. With the new effects, DJ can apply more creative and more unique arrangement to the music.

③Other new functions
・8hot cue points can be set in each deck.
・Vertical waveform display to visually sync the tempo.
■ Serato DJ software is available free of charge from the below website. www.serato.com/dj/downloads

Supports DVS control and can be used as a stand-alone mixer

The four external inputs allow DJs to connect CDJs and turntables and use the DDJ-SZ as a stand-alone four-channel mixer. In addition, the unit has two dedicated MIC inputs with Hi/Low EQ, enabling voice MCing without sacrificing mixer channels. Plus two Master Out ports (balanced and RCA) and one balanced Booth Out port mean DJs can connect to a variety of PA set-ups.

PIONEER EXCLUSIVE MAGVEL CROSS FADER for enhanced operability and durability

The DDJ-SZ is equipped with Pioneer’s own magnetic crossfader for smooth, steady control. Two metal shafts support the fader knobs, while the robust contact-free magnetic system can be used more than 10 million times. The operational load, fader curve and cut lag can be adjusted to suit the DJ’s preference

High quality audio circuitry delivers a professional sound

The DDJ-SZ inherits high quality audio circuitry from Pioneer DJ’s pro-DJ equipment, including two built-in 24-bit sound cards, a precision engineered Wolfson DAC providing a signal-to-noise ratio of 111 dB on the Master Out to ensure incredibly pure sound reproduction

Other features

・ All buttons and knobs, as well as the soundcard*2, are “PLUG AND PLAY” – configured in advance to work with “Serato DJ”.
・ Top plate and jog wheels built with an aluminum stylish finish
・ Slip Mode for precision scratching: Slip Mode silently continues track playback during a loop, reverse or scratch, and brings the music back at the right point when the DJ exits the performance. It also adds a further level to the Performance Pads, enabling tricks such as Slip Hot Cue
・ Needle Search: touch strip for intuitive, fast searches
・ P-LOCK Fader Caps are impossible to pull off in the heat of a mix.
・ Auto Standby” function switches to standby mode when a state of no use or no input continues for a certain period of time.

Pioneer DJE-2000 Professional DJ In-Ear Headphones

Pioneer DJE-2000 Professional DJ In-Ear Headphones


Hybrid 2-way driver for producing clear and more precise audio quality throughout the entire frequency spectrum
Multiple earphone tips
Detachable cable with MMCX connector
Available in black or white

OVERVIEW
With the clear understanding that DJs have specific audio characteristic requirements and traditionally listen to music differently, paying closer attention to the particular beats of music, Pioneer’s new inner-ear headphones were made for both their leisure music listening and for music preparation while on the go. Both models have unique design features including large high quality 9.4 millimeter drivers, replaceable and detachable cables, and interchangeable earphone tips that dampen external noise.

HYBRID 2-WAY DRVER
The DJE-2000 is designed with a “hybrid” 2-way driver system for producing clear and more precise audio quality throughout the entire frequency spectrum. With the use of rare and powerful magnets for its speakers, the larger 9.4 mm driver located in the back of the earphone produces low bass frequencies with impact, while the front driver efficiently generates critical mid and high frequencies so key instrumental sounds DJs pay close attention to, such as snare drums and cymbals, are more pronounced.

MULTIPLE EARPHONE TIPS
The flagship model includes three Comply™ foam earphone tips (S/M/L) to provide an extremely comfortable fit as well as reduce unwanted external sounds from entering and interfering with the original music. In addition, the model also includes four silicone tips (XS/S/M/L) and one triple flanged silicone tip to accommodate different sizes of ear canals.

DETACHABLE CABLE
Pioneer provides a detachable MMCX connector for maximum versatility. The cable is applied with a special textile coating that improves durability and reduces tangling and twisting.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Designed to be worn over-the-ear for better fit, stability, and comfort.
Includes carrying case, cleaning brush, and1/4" stereo plug adapter.

Both models have unique design features including large high quality 9.4 millimeter drivers, replaceable and detachable cables, and interchangeable earphone tips that dampen external noise.

DYNAMIC DRVER
The DJE-1500 utilizes a large 9.4 mm driver and CCAW voice coil reinforced by a powerful magnet for efficient production of a wide frequency range for different types of music listening. The diaphragm of the speaker is made of a ceramic powder coating composite designed to reduce internal vibration that can cause distortion to be induced into the original music content

ADJUSTABLE HOUSING
The DJE-1500 is designed for over-the-ear or conventional fitting utilizing a rotatable housing that can easily be adjusted to the user’s listening preference.

MULTIPLE EARPHONE TIPS
The unit also includes a medium sized Comply™ foam earphone tip for maximum comfort, fit and noise isolation, as well as four silicone tips (XS/S/M/L) to accommodate different sizes of ear canals.

DETACHABLE CABLE
Pioneer designed the MMCX connector to be detachable for increased versatility. In addition, several inches of the cable that plugs into the earphone are made of memory-shape resin material to help ensure the earphone stays in place when used in over-the-ear applications.

Includes carrying case and 1/4" stereo plug adapter.

CME Xkey midi keyboard controller

CME Xkey midi keyboard controller


Features
The CME Xkey is the answer to mobile music creation.
It is unique in today’s market
Xkey - your first choice of musical keyboard

In the tablet PC era, will you still prefer a desktop computer?
In the mobile music era, will you still need a traditional MIDI keyboard?
In the portable musical instrument era, will you compromise with poor
performance features?

Xkey is currently the world's only truly portable music companion that belongs
to you. While at home in the studio or living room, it doesn’t force you to play in
one spot.

Nor should the slim appearance fool you - professional performance is not compromised.

You can see its elegance, touch its refinement and play with delicacy. It can hide in your backpack
and is with you to communicate your musical inspiration.

When you think of music, Xkey is there for you .
It is an elegant work of art. It’s also a fine instrument that follows you wherever you go. The black and white keys are supported by a cool silver color aluminum panel arching down at the front and a holder hidden at the rear bottom. These silky smooth keys intertwine with the aluminum grille. It presents the appearance of keys floating evenly at the edge of a waterfall .

Ultra Slim
The body of the Xkey is housed in a piece of molded aluminum. The thickness is merely 3.6mm. Weighing around 600g, the Xkey is even lighter than the iPad. With a slim and light form factor, the Xkey can be stored in a standard size backpack. Xkey not only inherits the essence of the piano keyboard, it also goes beyond the limits of traditional music keyboard design to meld ruggedness and lightweight mobile features perfectly together .

Professional Standard Keys
The key layout of Xkey follows exactly the traditional piano octave range in accordance with a keyboard player's finger memories and playing habits. An aluminum grille is used to clearly separate each key in order to ensure that the player can locate key positions while playing blind. The structure of each individual key is designed in such a way that the entire key moves down evenly when it is pressed at any point. Such design gives a unified sense of touch to the player.

Ultra Sensitivity
Under each key and button, there is a customized pressure sensor connected to an intelligent circuit board with high processing power. The board processes performance data with very low power consumption. Such data include 128 level full velocity intensity and corresponding polyphonic after-touch control, up to 16,000 step pitch-bend control, and realtime response speed manipulation.

FEATURES

● Check for new Xkey firmware
● Velocity curves editor
● In-depth configuration of Xkey sensitivity & timings (advanced users)
● Access to all Xkey parameters (advanced users)
