Before start Features This unit is an all-in-one DJ system combining a Pioneer DJ device with high operability and an excellent reputation among professional DJs with Serato DJ, a DJ software program by Serato. This unit is equipped with an control interface optimized for operating Serato DJ. The interface controls are positioned on a large body with room to spare, so the vari- ous functions of Serato DJ can be operated intuitively and accurately. Furthermore, this unit has an internal sound card, so a computer can be connected with a single USB cable. Flexible Connectivity This unit is equipped with four sets of external inputs for connecting CD players, analog turntables, etc. This unit’s 4-channel mixer can be oper- ated on a stand-alone basis, so the externally input sound can be mixed without passing through a computer. There are two microphone inputs. For the outputs, this unit has two sets of master out terminals (one set of XLR terminals and one set of RCA terminals), allowing connection of professional PA equipment, and one set of booth out terminals. This unit supports all types of party scenarios and DJ performance styles. “BIG JOG” & “ON JOG DISPLAY” This unit is equipped with large jog dials for smooth operability, so users can scratch with the feel of an analog player. There is also an on-jog display at the center of the jog dial, indicating the track’s playing status and the currently playing position. The jog dial can be operated with the feel of watching the surface of an analog record. “PERFORMANCE PADS” This unit is equipped with large performance pads allowing the four functions of Serato DJ (Hot Cue, Roll, Slicer and Sampler) to be operated with dynamic actions (tapping, tapping repeatedly, etc.). The pads are in rubber, so they can be operated without getting tired, even during long performances. When using the Sampler mode, users can select one of four velocity curves to achieve dynamically inflected performances. “4-CHANNEL MIXER” This unit is equipped with a 4-channel mixer for mixing the tracks played on the four decks in Serato DJ independently. The four tracks can be mixed simultaneously to achieve even more unique DJ mixes. “LEVEL METER” A master level meter is provided at the center of the mixer, with chan- nel level meters positioned near the control interface for the respective channels. This lets users see the levels of the respective channels as they operate this unit, for more comfortable DJ performances. “NEEDLE SEARCH” Points can be searched for simply by touching the touch pad with a finger. This makes for intuitive, speedy searching with the sense of touching the music directly. HIGH SOUND QUALITY The audio output circuitry uses a low-jitter clock and high performance DAC to reproduce the original sound faithfully and achieve clear club sound. In addition, the sound quality technology Pioneer has developed with its professional series is used to achieve the industry’s highest level of sound quality for a DJ controller. Professional Build Quality & Design Aluminum materials are used for the top panel and jog plate, making for a design with a sense of solidity and high quality that adds class to DJ performances in clubs or at home parties. Also, rubber is used for the knobs and pads to achieve not only a sense class but also high operability. “Serato DJ” Supported This unit supports the Serato DJ software, which offers a great number of functions required for DJ performances. All of the buttons and con- trols 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. Furthermore, the Dual Deck Control and Slip functions have been developed in cooperation with Serato. “DUAL DECK CONTROL” The two tracks currently playing on the two decks can be operated simultaneously with a single player interface. This enables performances using such player functions as scratching and hot cueing with the two tracks seemingly a single track. “SLIP MODE” This unit is equipped with a Slip Mode function by which the sound continues in the background while such operations as looping, scratch- ing and hot cueing are being performed. This allows DJ performances without changing the original track’s development after such playback operations as looping, scratching and hot cueing are completed. 4 En
