dont get me wrong here, im a huge traktor fan, but to say the fx are laughable, really says a lot about how you use a mixer. There are plenty of things that can be accomplished with the effects on even a djm 600 that you cannot do with traktor scratch pro hooked up to the same mixer.
try adding a traktor delay on one channel then bring the fader up on beat and drop it out quick. Nothing happens. do the same with the pioneer fx and you have a nice effect. The pioneer mixers have a huge advantage of having post fader returns on some of the specific efx. Something that can only be accomplished with internal mixing mode in traktor.
I would love to see a Traktor Scratch-certified mixer. Too much of my "style" is still tied into using TTs, and just as with the Rane TTM57SL (and the Sixty-Eight), there is a lot to be said for only having to cnnect one USB cable and having the soundcard built into the mixer for audio i/o. I have a feeling that additional controllers will still be needed to get the most mileage from TSP, but the simplicity of not needing to bring an audio interface because it is built into the mixer is the key value of the video (or at least what I took from the video). YMMV.
i'll start of the official discussion thread before we get 101 nexus threads on the 17th..
is this the real deal leaked early... or is it photoshopped?
looks fairly legit to me.. personally i would have placed the x-y modulation pad where the fx selector channel selector etc is and placed them above.
i pulled the image from djwarehouse's facebook...

I wanted to shout FAKE but some of the little details on the mixer are the same as the video grabs on Skratchworx.
Pretty crappy pic in the age of hi-res cameras on everything though.
Prettyy disappointing as unless it is Traktor Scratch Certified or SSL certified (unheard of).
I thought it would have had a built FX controller like the X1.
Looks like an 800 with more FX control but less than the DB4 which is not what i would call the next big thing but more of a step sideways.
Lets see eh...
[and yeah lets have this as the Official Nexus thread. All others will be merged unless warranted]
That's right pioneer, you carry on pushing your hardware effects which no one will use, and make midi controllers the size of pool tables because you above all other companies know where DJing is headed.
Big thumbs up
Massive sarcastic expression.
In other words...

Xone: DB4 | Pioneer CDJ-2000 Nexus
DJTT FAQ | Read my guide to AUDIO CABLES
the crappy picture resolution sort of lead me towards it being a photoshop, but everything does add up. personally if i were in the market for a mixer and it came down to this or the DB4 i'd def go for the a&h's dogs bollocks.
i think this mixer will be a market test for pioneer to see how the midi fan club at the 'consumer' end of the scale will take to it.
the fanboys will buy it no matter what.
a mate of mine was that much of a tragic he had a djm-500 for about a week, then bought a 600... fwd to when the 700 came out - he bought that, then 2 days later sold that and bought an 800.. an inbetween all that had a djm 200 and borrowed my old djm 3000 for a few months too.
now he has a pmc-580![]()
