XDJ RX 4 channel?

[Amrit]

Hi Guys,

Was strongly considering getting one of these but I really need my set up to be a 4 channel one... anyone heard anything about a 4 channel version of the rx coming out soon?

Thanks in advance

Personally I doubt it, but you never know - try email Pioneer support?

They're tight lipped as usual - Seriously wish someone with some insider knowledge would just tell me if that's the case... I don't need anymore details all i need to know is should I buy the rdx now or should I wait!?

I'm guessing not because they wouldn't later control surfaces like done with controllers as the internal processing of the unit I doubt has the power to support it and doubt they'd invest in power to support it.... Hell from the forums I'm read I'm regretting placing one on order.... Apparently even though there is waveform display when you pitch up and down it does not change the speed of the waveform they just continue to play at original speed.... Why this isn't a big issue it does show the lack of processing power within the internal unit... It also is very finicky if you have a less then stellar MP3 file and more so then their other players... Also the file may play fine in recordbox program but may still not play on the unit

There's SO much choice on the market right now... unfortunately... none of it seems to work for me!

I have an S4 that is old and beat up after 4 years of heavy use.

I want a 4 channel controller that will integrate properly with traktor but still has jogs!

I felt the xdj rx (even if it's 2 channel) was exactly what I wanted to have at home that I could use before hitting the club but apparently now with all this negative feedback I'm back at square one.

Anyone know if I'll regret buying a DDJ-SZ and using it with traktor?

No Traktor Post Fader-FX. End of Discussion.

I've never used them... I mix tech/minimal mostly so not a lot of hard cuts going on here..

A 4 channel RX is not on the cards as far as I'm aware, although yes there has been a-lot of interest in one from the U.S. and Australia, not so much from Europe ... strange ...

Your best bet would be a pair of XDJ1000's and DJM750/850, so that when you "hit the club" you will probably be using very similar gear.

Do something like this. A good DJ should be able to play on anything, but you should still practice on what you plan on playing on. If you are planning on using Traktor in the club, you might be able to get buy with some second hand CDJs. You don't need all the features if you are just using the CDJs to control the software.

If you don't mind me saying you've made some assumptions there. I've had one for six months now, the unit is awesome. Anything I have in iTunes or Rekordbox plays fine inc. normal USB sticks, and for me personally I bought it to get away from screens and waveforms. As soon as I load a track, I hit the browse button to turn of the Waveform as I wanted to get back to listening to the music to mix, not look at a visual representation of the music, for me that's just adding an unnecceasry layer of distance/being removed from the music. I know not everyone feels like that but I think this machine is more of a transition point to get people back on Pioneer modular. Just my two cents and sorry to necropost!
