Pioneer launches the CDJ-2000
The Pioneer CDJ-2000 has just been made official in the US, and with a Pioneer event taking place in London tonight, it’s just about to set British beatmatchers’ hearts aflutter.
The CDJ-2000 is a DJ controller with a difference. Two differences, actually. First there’s a whopping great 6.1 inch screen up front, and a touchpad to skip straight to the desired part of a song.
Pioneer’s newest baby is a CD deck, but can also be used as a MIDI controller, making it ideal for MP3 DJs who can program its 35 buttons to do anything they like. Samples, loops, effects: they can all be triggered by the control keys.
You can see the CDJ-2000 in action below. In the US it’s set to cost $2,150, or around £1,300, but stay tuned for official UK pricing.
The new CDJ-2000 from Pioneer
Pioneer have launched a brilliant new DJ controller in the US! The CDJ-2000, Pioneer’s latest CD deck can also be used as a MIDI controller, making it ideal for MP3 DJs who can program its 35 buttons to do anything they like – loops, effects, samples – whatever!
Pioneer held a huge launch event at Ministry of Sound last night to celebrate the new product and it had all us DJs salivating at the thought of what we could do if only we had our hands on one!
Sadly its current US price is $2,150, that’s around £1,300! Here’s hoping the official UK pricing comes in at a little lower than that.
