You might come here for nextlevelness. But starting blocks are just as important, and the new Pioneer DJ DDJ-400 controller is just that.
It seems that while not exclusive, Serato and Pioneer DJ are still seeing each other. The continued dalliance has brought forth the updated DDJ-SX3, a Serato DJ Pro powered controller that adds dual USB, three mics, and a heap of refinements.
While much of the DJ market appears to be at a standstill, Pioneer DJ marches on and pushes forward with the rekordbox offering. Now at v5.2, it now adds support for new hardware, but in particular has been enhanced for use with DMX lighting. Has this addition made rekordbox the most complete DJ software around?
Imagine karaoke but more — so much more — and you have the new rekordbox lyric plus pack from Pioneer. Essentially it's a downloaded lyrics file with rekordbox generated visuals that immediately turns you into a video jock without trying. And everyone gets to sing along on the dance floor too.
As Pioneer DJ breaks free from the controller clutches of Serato to realise their own vision of a rekordbox driven DJ world, they've released the all new DDJ-1000 controller. And it also features glimpses of the CDJ future with a glorious high res screen right inside the full sized CDJ jogs.
When Denon DJ invited Pioneer DJ users to #changeyourrider, they didn't exactly make it easy. But now the SC5000 Prime can read and convert rekordbox USBs.
Lighting is the next big thing for DJs. Seeing this, Pioneer DJ has Showkontrol, a collaboration with TC Supply that triggers lights from rekordbox tracks.
From idle gossip to leaks to official release — the Pioneer DJ XDJ-RX2 is their updated and fully standalone box, complete with touch screen and more pads.
The new Pioneer DJ DDJ-XP1 is the SP1 update you've been waiting for. Except that it's for rekordbox and not Serato DJ, and comes with the new rekordbox 5.
I'm getting a feeling of déjà vu here… didn't we cover this? Oh wait — this is the new Pioneer DJM-S3 Serato DJ mixer, not the DJM-250MK2. Easy mistake.
It looks like the Serato DJ DVS friendly DJM-S9 is about to get some rekordbox DVS love in the upcoming public beta of rekordbox 5.
