Pioneer has unveiled another new DJ controller called the DDJ-SX. This DJ controller is built specifically to work with the newest DJ software out there called Serato. Pioneer says that this DJ controller utilizes Serato as the basis for its control layout and ergonomic design. The DJ controller has special trigger pads and controls specific to the software.
The new Pioneer DDJ-SX looks to be one of the
most professional-grade DJ controllers from Pioneer to-date with a
brushed metal chassis and heavy duty appearance. The DDJ-SX will be
very tightly integrated with the Serato DJ software and below each jog
wheel there are (8) velocity-sensitive performance pads that can be used
for Cue-points, Loop Rolls, Slicer, and the SP-6, similar to the way
Vestax VCI-380 does it today with Serato ITCH. The DDJ-SX will take
advantage of the new Dual Deck Mode which will allow uses to link two
software decks together and manipulate them both at the same time with
only one jog wheel. The center of the jog wheels have the familiar
Pioneer CDJ-style LED ring that lets the user know where the "needle" is
at a glance. The jog wheels are no longer the push-top style known on
other DDJ series controllers. They are now touch-sensitive and have
some very high resolution for accurate mixing and scratching.
The controller has a number of other features and
ships with the Serato DJ software. The DDJ-SX has dual CD and phono/line
inputs for external devices and two inputs for microphones. It also
features two master outputs with XLR and RCA capability. The controller
will ship in November at an MSRP of $1199.
