New Pioneer Controller April 2012?

[Ryii]

Hey!

I have heard from a reliable source that pioneer will present a new Controller next month.
From what i understand it will probably be more like a cdj 2000 than the 400.


Anyone knows anything about this?
dying to know more!

THE only thing That i heard of is à rumour of à cdj2000nexus
I think They Will make THE hid support better.

If they make it a CDJ controller Nd make it cheaper without the CDs and soundcard they'll will make a killing on the market. But like everyone thinks they won't drop the price much.

Ive spoken with some of my reps and it seems like some of the industry is heading towards USB players. Didn't come from a pioneer source, but ive seen prototypes on a couple of new decks that are USB only (2 usb's, JumpDrive and Midi/Maybe HID).

Honestly i think its a great idea, but these manufacturers need to reinforce their usb ports so that they last longer then a cd drive would. If this is what Pioneer is working on i would greatly welcome it. Seems like a very good way to cut cost (as long as they dont cut quality).

My friend was also talking about an "all-in-on" usb solution with no need for a laptop.
would be great if you still can use it as a controller!

Feels like theyre kinda killing their own market though.
But the real cd-enthusiasts will probably never give it up
