it's nice to see pioneer branching out.
I'm not interested in this but I can see it being pretty useful for a number of people
Agreed. It is nice to see some branching out. I liked it when NI put out the Z2. I like Pioneer putting out the XDJ-Aero and now this R1 device.
Personally, I am interested in it. I mainly use Traktor, but want a "CDJ" setup at home for practice...I am not about to spend massive $$$ for a CDJ-2000 or even a CDJ-900 just to sit in my studio for practice. Some people may have that kind of spare change, but I don't. The Aero, and possibly this R1 can be used at home for practice, and also (at least the aero) seems reasonably sized to take out if need be.

Seems like a really fine unit, an all in one by Pioneer is a treat many people have been waiting for. However:
WHEN WILL THIS JOKE WITH THE SHORT PITCH FADERS END?
Seriously. . .

Funnily enough, I'm kind of disappointed that they added actual CD players to the unit. I kind of like that the aero is its own thing...similar workflow to CDJs, but without the need to be actual CD players...CDs will be around for a long time, but the trend does seem to be toward USB drives, Rekordbox and WiFi (new Remotebox maybe?)...
I can see the appeal, practice at home with CDs or USB etc, then play out at the club with their equipment...but for me, CDs will be an unused feature.
I would have rather seen that effort go to Send/Return to get integration with, say, an RMX1000.

They don't include Send/Return on any of their low end mixers so I wouldn't expect it to appear on a budget-oriented all in one.
