Before start Before start Features This unit is a DJ controller in a compact size enabling DJ performances with dynamic sound and a variety of light effects. With it, DJ perfor- mances are possible not only with a computer, but also with an iPhone/ iPad by using the included connection cable and designated stand. This unit 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. Three color variations are provided for the body, letting users select a color matching their personality and interior. In addition, the colors in which the LEDs light can be customized to express the user’s personal- ity. This DJ controller lets users enjoy their DJ lives, with their own tastes and in their own styles. iPhone/iPad CONNECTION By connecting this unit with an iPhone/iPad using the included con- nection cable, the contents of the iPhone/iPad can easily be used for DJ performances. DESIGN This unit has a design using solid colors and forms that suit room inte- riors well, in a compact size designed for portability. While the body has rounded, gentle forms, it comes in three color variations that create a solid impression, and a jog dial highlighting the animations of the mul- ticolored lights is used to achieve a design that makes DJ performances fun. Furthermore, the input/output terminals are positioned on the side panel to reduce the distance to a notebook computer and allow instal- lation even in small spaces. In addition, the unit uses a stand that also serves as a grip, so it is easy to carry the unit to other locations for DJ performances. 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. 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 turn- ing 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 bril- liance to DJ performances. ! Main PULSE CONTROL animations 1 Mix Pulse The offset in the beats of the two tracks is indicated by the lights. The jog dial lights with the set illumination color when the beats are perfectly synchronized, and the jog dial’s lights turn off when the beats are off. This lets you easily synchronize the beats and tempos while checking the offset of the beats visually. 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. 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.
