Before start Before start Features This unit is a standalone hardware sampler and sequencer that allows you to intuitively compose music with a varied range of expression. It functions as a new kind of musical instrument that can also be used for live performances and DJ performances, and since a wide range of musical expression is possible with this one unit, you can use it anywhere from a home studio to a stage. Step sequencer/modulator Large multicolored step input keys that can be tapped while looking at the sequence information on each track and the track colors combined with six rotary encoders linked to various parameters on the display screen allow you to modify the target sound for each step and create a new groove without stopping the sound. 7-inch large touch display The display unit is equipped with a full-color LCD touch display. The HOME screen to view the information on the sample sound source assigned to each track with colors linked to the pads, the TRACK MENU screen to quickly grasp how to play a sound source on each track and quickly access the parameters, and the BROWSE screen to quickly browse through sample sound sources allow you to access the desired sound without hesitation by the shortest route based on the production workflow. Performance pads The performance pad technology and know-how acquired through the development of Pioneer DJ’s DDJ series controllers, coupled with the multicolored LEDs that can be tapped while looking at the track colors, and highly accurate velocity detection that transfers the feeling of fingertips to the sounds, have helped to refine the expression of playing as an illuminating musical instrument.
