Features

This unit is a 4-channel DJ mixer carrying over the technology of the Pioneer DJM series, the world standard for club sound. It is not only equipped with a variety of functions for DJ performances, including USB sound card, BEAT COLOR FX, SOUND COLOR FX and BEAT EFFECT, it also uses a high sound quality, high reliability design and a panel layout with high operability to provide powerful support for all DJ performances.

24 bit/96 kHz STEREO 4-IN 4-OUT SOUND CARD

This unit is equipped with a 24 bit/96 kHz stereo 4-in 4-out compatible USB sound card. This unit supports ASIO/Core Audio standards, so it can be used not only for DJ performances with DJ software but also with a wide variety of other software applications, including for software for creating music. ! Four sets of stereo sound from a single computer can be input to the

respective channels and mixed.

! Up to four sets of stereo sound can be output to the computer from

the respective channels (channels 1 to 4, REC OUT, crossfader sides A and B and microphone).

! The sampling rate can be switched between 96 kHz, 48 kHz and

44.1 kHz.

BEAT COLOR FX/SOUND COLOR FX

This unit inherits and further evolves the SOUND COLOR FX feature popular on the DJM series. This feature offers four types of effects, and effects can be achieved simply by turning the [COLOR] control provided for each channel, enabling improvisational performances. The BEAT COLOR FX function that changes the effect in association with the sound of the respective channels makes for even more dynamic performances than before.

The simple, straightforward layout of the control panel not only makes for easy DJ performances, it also allows DJs using it for the first time to operate it without hesitation.

What’s in the box

! Driver software CD-ROM ! USB cable ! Warranty card ! Power cord ! Operating instructions (this document)

BEAT EFFECT

This unit also inherits the BEAT EFFECT feature popular on the DJM series, equipped with 13 types of effects. The BEAT COLOR FX and SOUND COLOR FX effects can be combined to create some 100 different effects, letting the DJ produce a wide variety of sounds.

HIGH SOUND QUALITY

Efforts have been made to improve and enhance sound quality for the digital/analog inputs/outputs. 96 kHz sampling and sound processing with a 24 bit high sound quality A/D converter and a 32 bit high sound quality D/A converter reproduce the source faithfully and provide powerful, high grade club sound.

BUILD QUALITY

This unit uses the high performance channel faders of the DJM900nexus and the “P-LOCK Fader Cap” mechanism for locking the fader knobs. Frequently used controls with optimized internal structures using metal shafts and other measures are taken to achieve smooth operation and high endurance.

STANDARD LAYOUT

This unit carries over the control panel layout of the Pioneer DJM series, the world standard in DJ mixers.

List of MIDI Messages

! “CC” is the abbreviation of “control change”. A control change is a type of MIDI signal used to transmit various types of control information, such as

timbre, volume, etc.

On this unit, values from 0 to 127 are output as CC mainly when controls and faders are operated. CC are also output when certain buttons are

operated.

! “Note” is a MIDI term used when pressing or releasing notes on a piano or other keyboard.
