Features
This unit is a DJ controller in a compact size enabling DJ performances
with dynamic sound and a variety of light effects. It 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. Five color variations are
provided for the body, letting users select a color matching their 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.
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.
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
This indicates the offset in the beats of two tracks by the strength
of the lights. The jog dials’ lights are strongest when the beats
are perfectly in sync, and get dimmer as the beats move apart.
This lets you check the offset of the beats visually so that the
beats and tempos can be matched easily.
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.
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:
