Pioneer DDJ - SX, first "serato dj" controller

[ArmanB89]

I think its amazing... can't wait to see the software..

Too bad it will likely be ridiculously overpriced. I'm guessing $1,399 street price.

For a full featured 4 channel analogue mixer, a soundcard, the ability to mix video. serato tax and essentially a couple of CDJs thats not really overpriced.

With all these decent controllers coming with standalone mixer ability these days I wish you could "undock" the platters and use the mixer on its own if you wanted to.

I'm thinking you will be unpleasantly surprised...

My guess is around $1600 street $2000 RRP

Yeah this looks like a high end piece of gear, you're definitely getting a lot for your money if it turns out to be $1400.

Finally Pioneer makes a controller that looks worth the money. This is the first controller of theirs that I've genuinely been blown away by.

Maybe over time they'll incorporate a "Scratch" license and ditch SSL.

This thing looks like THE ultimate controller. It has everything you could ever want.

Damn that controller looks absolutely amazing except ....

Standalone MP3 playback would have been THE dealbreaker for me.

A Standalone version of each deck would be killer, and be brilliant for installs.

Its a bit of a weird niche, not really club material due to it being all-in-one, not really bedroom DJ material due to price / size .. perhaps mobile dj material, but pricy compared to other controllers ?

I keep going back and forth on whether USB input for MP3 would be a good choice. I think it would have been, especially with the release of the Aero and Rekordbox mobile.

Realistically, with the no hassle, plug and play nature of Serato + MIDI mapping + this fucking tank, this looks to be the closest thing to an "install controller" we've seen so far. Laptop DJs roll up to the club and patch into club equipment, with user modifications, and that seems to be the method of operation for this kind of system
