Pioneer DDJ-SX2 digital dj controller Serato DJ [ Coming September / October 2014 ]
Industry’s first DJ controller to be support new “Serato Flip” function of “Serato DJ”, and also includes specially designed operation control buttons
The DDJ-SX2 supports “Serato Flip”, a new function of “Serato DJ” that records and calls up a maximum of six orders and intervals (sequences) of HOT CUE operations. Specially designed operation buttons are also included for one-touch recording and calling up, as well as intuitive rearrangement of musical development with repeated playback or skipping of parts of the music, etc.
Excellent operability emulating design concepts of professional DJ equipment
Design concepts with the excellent operability of Pioneer’s professional DJ equipment have been incorporated in order to enable comfortable control of the diverse functions of DJ software.
“MULTI COLOR PERFORMANCE PADS” for dynamic performance and comfortable operation
Multicolored illuminations have been adopted on large pads for control of 8 types of “Serato DJ” function, including HOT CUE and SAMPLER. Pads’ colors and lights make it possible to apply dynamic actions to the music, such as beats and drum rolls, while immediately grasping pad mode selections and performance statuses. Also, the volume of the sampler sound can be varied depending on the strength with which the pads are hit.
“4-CHANNEL MIXER” for individualistic performance by mixing multiple tracks
A “4-CHANNEL MIXER” is featured for DJ play using 4 tracks. The levels of each channel can be grasped instantly thanks to the arrangement of a master level meter in the middle of the mixer and channel level meters next to the control interface of each channel.
“BIG JOGS” for accurate JOG performance
Improved JOG reaction time has made it possible to perform scratching exactly as you wish. A new “HOT CUE COUNT DOWN” showing the time remaining until a HOT CUE has been added to the “ON JOG DISPLAY” in the middle of the JOG, which displays music playback status and position. By inputting a HOT CUE at the point for mixing or scratching performance, the timing until a performance can be checked.
Supports “Serato DJ” DVS* function and can even be used as a standalone 4-channel mixer
With four external inputs for connection of CD players, analog turntables and microphones, etc., mixing can be performed with without going via a PC/Mac, so the “DDJ-SX2” can even be used as a standalone mixer. There are also two MASTER OUT and one BOOTH OUT outputs for additional connection of various PA equipment. Furthermore, with support for the “Serato DJ” DVS function, a purchase of the separate “Serato DJ DVS Expansion Pack” it is possible to perform “Serato DJ” deck control with CDJs or analog turntables connected to the “DDJ-SX2”.SERATO DVS UPGRADE READY*An abbreviation of Digital Vinyl System. This system plays music files stored on a PC/Mac in line with the play position/speed of a control disc (a CD/record compiling special signals for the control of DJ software).
Clear and powerful DJ sound faithful to the sound source
