Also, the unit provides “SOUND COLOR FX” and “OSCILLATOR” functions so that original arrangements can be added to the music being played back. Furthermore, numerous input and output terminals support a variety of DJ styles. Featuring aluminum material for the top panel, the design makes the unit look high quality, which is appropriate in a variety of scenes such as nightclubs, home parties, etc. BIG JOG We have achieved the shortest time required from when jog is operated until when the control signal is transferred to the software. Additionally, “BIG JOG”, a large sized jog, allows the DJ to play scratches as they wish with smooth operability. At the center of the jog, the “ON JOG DISPLAY” displays the playback status of music and the current playback position so that the DJ can perform scratching more accurately. Also, the unit is equipped with “JOG FEELING ADJUST”, which is popular in the CDJ Series. It is possible to adjust the operation load and back spin continuous time during scratch play to match particular tastes. MULTI-COLOR PERFORMANCE PADS “PERFORMANCE PADS”, a large rubber pad used to assign and operate functions such as HOT CUE and SAMPLER, is positioned at the front of the unit. Music can be arranged by dynamic actions such as beating and rolling and the volume can be stronger or weaker depending on the strength of the beat. Also, each pad has built-in multi-color illumination that can be used to instantaneously understand the selected pad mode and playing status of each pad through illumination colors and lit condition. 4-CHANNEL MIXER The unit includes “4-CHANNEL MIXER”, which allows the DJ to independently operate songs being played back with four decks. Four songs can be mixed to create a highly individualistic DJ mix. Level meters are located near the master unit and the operation interface of each channel, so that input and output levels can be understood instantly. Furthermore, this unit retains the control panel layout of the Pioneer DJ DJM series, the world standard in DJ mixers. The simple, easy-to-understand control panel layout not only facilitates DJ performances but also makes it easy for DJs using the unit for the first time to operate it without hesitation, so it can be used without worry as a permanently installed mixer in the club. The USB selector located at the top side can be used to switch between the two sound cards with a single action. When one DJ takes over from another, this function provides a smooth transition between the two computers without sound being interrupted. FLEXIBLE CONNECTIVITY Four external input systems and two MIC input systems are provided to connect to a CD player or analog turntable. Mixing is possible without going through a computer, so the unit can be used as a single DJ mixer as well. In addition, two MASTER OUT systems and one BOOTH OUT system are provided to handle professional PA device output. All kinds of party scenes and DJ playing styles are supported. DURABLE FADER A slide structure is used for the crossfader and channel fader, in which the fader knob is supported by two metal shafts. This achieves smooth operability without wobble and also high durability. Also, effects on inside the faders caused by liquid and dust are minimized. An independently developed “MAGVEL CROSS FADER” magnetic system is incorporated for the crossfader to support scratch play, which provides high durability of more than 10,000,000 operations, and fine operability. HIGH SOUND QUALITY Leveraging the audio circuit of Pioneer audio devices for clubs, the unit provides powerful sound quality faithful to the original. It also reduces contact resistance through use of an AC inlet having a wide contact area with the power cable, and achieves stable and powerful sound even in the DJ booth in a loud environment. By adopting a high performance D/A converter and low jitter crystal oscillator made by Wolfson Microelectronics, the unit reproduces clear and powerful club sound faithful to the original. PROFESSIONAL QUALITY DESIGN Aluminum material on the top panel and jog plate provides a sense of high quality design. This unit is an essential part of DJ performance in clubs and home party scenes. SERATO FLIP This unit is equipped with a dedicated operation interface for the “SERATO FLIP” function that enables recording HOT CUE operation patterns and playing back recorded HOT CUE operation patterns so the DJ can intuitively operate the “SERATO FLIP” function. It allows the DJ to perform differently from normal playback by, for example, repeating or skipping specific sections. PLUG AND PLAY DUAL USB PORT Two USB sound cards are provided to connect the unit to up to two computers at the same time. The sound cards of the unit and all buttons and controls are set to be linked with “Serato DJ” beforehand so that the DJ can begin playing using “Serato DJ” without going through the need to make troublesome settings.
