Features
This unit is a DJ controller in a compact size enabling DJ performances
with dynamic sound and a variety of light effects. With it, DJ performances are possible not only with a computer, but also with an iPhone/
iPad by using the included connection cable and designated stand. This
unit is equipped with a “JOG FX” function for transforming the sound
dynamically and a “PULSE CONTROL” function allowing the colors of
the lights to be changed in a variety of ways using the multicolor LEDs.
Three color variations are provided for the body, letting users select a
color matching their personality and interior. In addition, the colors in
which the LEDs light can be customized to express the user’s personality. This DJ controller lets users enjoy their DJ lives, with their own tastes
and in their own styles.
iPhone/iPad CONNECTION
By connecting this unit with an iPhone/iPad using the included connection cable, the contents of the iPhone/iPad can easily be used for DJ
performances.
JOG FX
This unit is equipped with a JOG FX function allowing multiple effects
to be controlled simultaneously with the jog dial. The parameters of
multiple effects can be controlled through the simple operation of turning the jog dial, so a wide variety of transformations of the sound can be
enjoyed. Also, by using in combination with the FX Pulse function, DJ
performances can be staged with an extensive array of animations using
multicolored lights.
DESIGN
This unit has a design using solid colors and forms that suit room interiors well, in a compact size designed for portability. While the body has
rounded, gentle forms, it comes in three color variations that create a
solid impression, and a jog dial highlighting the animations of the multicolored lights is used to achieve a design that makes DJ performances
fun. Furthermore, the input/output terminals are positioned on the side
panel to reduce the distance to a notebook computer and allow installation even in small spaces. In addition, the unit uses a stand that also
serves as a grip, so it is easy to carry the unit to other locations for DJ
performances.
VIRTUAL DJ LE
The “Virtual DJ Limited Edition ” DJ software with the Pioneer original
interface is included. Major features such as looping, effects, sampling,
4-channel mixing, and video will allow you to enjoy a wide range of DJ
performances. In addition, you can select the interface colors according
to your taste and preference from many different options.
Compatibility with various DJ software
programs
Thanks to the MIDI capability, 4-deck control, sampler and many
other features can be controlled by a variety of DJ applications. See
the Pioneer support page for the latest information on software
compatibility:
http://pioneerdj.com/support/
PULSE CONTROL
Thanks to the use of multi-color LEDs installed in JOG dials, the colorful
illumination changes in conjunction with DJ operations, adding brilliance to DJ performances.
! Main PULSE CONTROL animations
1 Mix Pulse
The offset in the beats of the two tracks is indicated by the lights.
The jog dial lights with the set illumination color when the beats
are perfectly synchronized, and the jog dial’s lights turn off when
the beats are off. This lets you easily synchronize the beats and
tempos while checking the offset of the beats visually.
2 Launch Pulse
When a track is loaded, red light flows toward the jog dial, letting
the user know at a glance that the track has been loaded.
3 FX Pulse
The lights on the jog dial move in various ways according to the
effect that is operated, adding excitement to the DJ performance
through the movement of the light in addition to the changes in
the sound.
Color variations and customizing
The colors in which this unit’s multicolor LEDs light can be customized,
and the colors of the interface of the “Virtual DJ Limited Edition” bundled
software can also be customized. The colors can be set to your tastes, to
suit your current mood or a variety of different situations.
