Pioneer XDJ-RX

**DeanOakley** · 09-10-2015, 12:46 AM

Hello,

Considering getting the XDJ-RX, mainly for the mobile party stuff that I'm doing, will be a lot easier than lugging two CDJ 2000s and the Z2 around, and easier to set up!

Just wondering if anyone has one or has used one?

I'm going BPM on Sunday so am going to have a play around on one and might even try and haggle one down a bit.

Thanks

Pioneer just made your decision a bit harder with the DDJ-RX and DDJ-RZ with recordbox 4.

Yes, I've just seen that - although I'd have to look into whether or not Rekordbox DJ comes free with those units and what price they're going to start at.

Looks like it comes free with those units and will cost $129 for use with all other current pioneer gear.
RX - $999
RZ - $1999

It'll be nice just having one library whether playing of CDJs or a more portable controller + laptop.

Yeah definitely - I've tried to determine the differences between the RX and RZ and the only thing I can see currently is the size of the jog wheel is bigger on the RZ, going by the specs - what am I missing?

The RZ has some awesome built-in dub horn sample button.

Sold.

If in doubt, add more air horn.

These are just rebranded versions of the serato controllers SX & SZ I can't imagine they've made any notable changes to he hardware except changing a few knobs and the colour of some LEDs.

DDJ-R = Recordbox
DDJ-S = Serato

The Pioneer serato controllers will all work with the new Recordbox, but will need a licence.
Products that will work with the software at launch include:

DDJ-RX/RZ
DDJ-SB/SR/SX/SX2/SZ
CDJ-2000/2000NXS/900/900NXS/850/350
XDJ-1000
DDJ-WeGO3

I haven't seen they have mentioned CDJ-850/350 and DDJ-WeGo3, from where are you pulling this?

Also, let's please move RekordboxDJ discussion into Rekordbox DJ topic, I have posted there

But main topic is about the XDJ-RX, not the software

just happens to coincide with the news of the DDJ-RX/RZ

Question still stands though, what's the difference between the DDJ-RX & the RZ?
