Features

This unit is an all-in-one DJ system combining the high operability hardware of Pioneer professional DJ players and DJ mixers that has achieved an excellent reputation among many professional DJs and clubs with the Serato DJ DJ software by Serato. It is also equipped with audio interface, and allows full-fledged DJ performances without requiring other DJ equipment.

LAYOUT

This unit uses the same layout as Pioneer professional models, allowing intuitive and accurate performances with simple 2-channel mixing and effects.

MIC/AUX INPUT, XLR OUTPUT

This unit is equipped with a microphone/auxiliary input allowing connection of a microphone or external device (sampler, portable audio device, etc.). For output, it has XLR and RCA terminals supporting professional PA equipment. In this way, this unit supports all types of situations and DJing styles.

“Serato DJ” Supported

This unit supports “Serato DJ”, a DJ software program which offers a great number of functions required for DJ performances. All of the buttons and controls on this unit are preset to associate them with the software, so DJ performances can be held immediately, simply by connecting this unit to a computer.

LAPTOP DOCK

The computer’s keyboard section can be stowed under this unit. Docking the computer with this unit into a single unit allows you to create an efficient DJ system.

Playing address/Level meter

The player section is equipped with a “playing address” indicator letting you grasp the track’s progress at a glance by the position of the LED display and get the sense of touching the track directly when the [NEEDLE SEARCH (ROLL)] pad is touched with a finger. Furthermore, the mixer section is equipped with a master level meter and channel level meters. This increases affinity with the computer for even more comfortable DJ performances.

HIGH SOUND QUALITY

The sound quality technology developed for Pioneer professional models is used to achieve a high level of sound quality for a DJ controller.

What’s in the box

About the driver software and setting utility software

This unit functions as an audio device conforming to the ASIO standards.

Using the settings utility software

This function can only be used by those using a Windows operating system.

 Launching the settings utility software

3 If no breaks in the sound occur, set [USB BUFFER SIZE (LATENCY)] in the Serato DJ software to the minimum buffer size at which no breaks in the sound occur. If breaks in the sound do occur, change [Kernel Buffers] in the [DDJ ASIO Settings Utility] to [3].

Checking the version of the driver software

Click the Windows [Start] menu>[All Programs]>[Pioneer]>[DDJ]>[DDJ Version Display Utility].

! You can check the firmware version of this unit on the screen. ! The firmware version is not displayed when this unit is not connected

to the computer or when this unit and computer are not properly communicating.

Before start

Click the Windows [Start] menu>[All Programs]>[Pioneer]>[DDJ]>[DDJ ASIO Settings Utility].

 Adjusting the buffer size

In the same way as the buffer size setting in the Serato DJ software, decreasing the value of the [Kernel Buffers] setting lowers the transfer delay (latency) of the audio data, while increasing the value reduces the tendency for dropouts in the audio data (breaks in the sound). The setting at [USB BUFFER SIZE (LATENCY)] in the Serato DJ software’s [SETUP] menu has priority for the buffer size. (The default setting is 512 samples/10 ms.) ! For details on making the settings on the DJ software, see the Serato

DJ software manual.

! If the [Buffer Size] or [Kernel Buffers] number is made large, drops

in the data (breaks in the sound), etc., occur less easily, but the time lag due to transmission delays in the audio data (latency) increases.

 If breaks in the sound occur with the default

setting

1 Launch [DDJ ASIO Settings Utility] and change [Kernel Buffers] to [4].

2 Set [USB BUFFER SIZE (LATENCY)] in the Serato DJ software to the minimum buffer size at which no breaks in the sound occur.

 If no breaks in the sound occur with the default

setting

1 Set [USB BUFFER SIZE (LATENCY)] in the Serato DJ software to the minimum buffer size at which no breaks in the sound occur.

2 Launch [DDJ ASIO Settings Utility], change [Kernel Buffers] to [2], and check that no breaks in the sound occur.

cable. ! A USB hub cannot be used.

Notes on running this unit with USB bus power

! When using this unit on USB bus power, supply power to the con-

nected computer from the AC power supply. Do not run the com-

puter on its battery. ! In cases like the ones below, the power may be insufficient and this

unit may not operate on USB bus power.

— When the computer’s USB power supply capacity is insufficient.

— When other USB devices are connected to the computer.

If this unit does not operate on USB bus power, connect the included

AC adapter. ! The following limitations apply when operating on USB bus power:

— The jog dial indicator will not light.

— The [MASTER OUT 1] (XLR output) channel is not output.

! There are various ways to import tracks with the Serato DJ software. For details, see the Serato DJ software manual. ! If you are already using Serato DJ software (Scratch Live, ITCH or Serato DJ Intro) and have already created track libraries, the track libraries you

have previously created can be used as such.

The contents of your computer or the peripheral connected to the computer are displayed in the [Files] panel.

2 Click the folder on the [Files] panel containing the tracks you want to add to the library to select it.

3 On the Serato DJ software screen, drag and drop the selected folder to the crates panel.

Analyzing tracks

When one of this unit’s [LOAD (INST.DOUBLES)] buttons is pressed and tracks are loaded onto the decks, the tracks are analyzed, but some time may be required until analysis is completed and the BPM and waveform are displayed. When the Serato DJ software is used as an offline player, tracks can be analyzed ahead of time. For tracks whose analysis has been completed, the BPM and waveform are displayed immediately when the tracks are loaded onto the decks. For details on using the Serato DJ software as an offline player and instructions on analyzing tracks, see the Serato DJ software manual.

Depending on the number of tracks, some time may be required for

analysis.

playing track is automatically decreased when sound is input to the microphone. (The volume level of the sound input to the [AUX IN] terminals is not decreased.)

3 Turn the [LEVEL] control.

Adjust the sound level output from [MIC1] and [MIC2].

! Pay attention that rotating to the extreme right position outputs a

very loud sound.
