how about a wireless dongle that you can plug into your laptop usb 3.0 that connects to up to 4 cdj’s, when you are changing dj’s the next dj can have a dongle in their laptop and reassign the free cdj’s to their system for seemless minimal setup transitions between dj’s… no cables = awesome
4 led ring endless push encoders for controlling effects… more HID control = awesome
The Players are pretty good now; i only can imagine more HID support and or faster software (faster display load time; i.e. Artwork) meaby Color Waveforms.
The guy at my local DJ store told me a while back that the CDJ-2000 was on it’s way out… Look like he was right, he also said something about Pio pushing for USB-only players, but that sounded more like speculation from his side.
Knowing Pioneer, these new ones will probably have such revolutionizing features as:
I’m certain the big thing that will be added is ‘sync’. Rekordbox has detailed beatgrid info already and it’s only a matter of time before it is introduced. there’s been a few hints about this recently…
Other ideas are
They may offer a cheaper version without a cd drive to compete with traktor/serato
The screen will be a higher resolution with more waveform options
The GUI will be improved and will offer more options to customise
I expect a pref file can be saved to USB to allow djs to call up their settings quickly in a club.
The big question is how many of the improvements (whatever they turn out to be) will appear in the current model via a new firmware update?
could not care either way. Never owned CDJs and was loathed to use them when playing out.
It’ll just be pioneer playing catchup with the current crop of midi/media/software systems and everyone saying its like the second coming of christ and how amazingly innovative pioneer is with their industry standard bullshit.
fancy a bit of ‘grooming’ do we?
i just think it’s a bit of a waste of time commenting in a pioneer cdj debate when you state that you don’t like cdjs and you don’t much like pioneer. having said that, you’re entitled to voice your opinion i guess, even if it is negative.
Oh, please god no………those things sucked so much. Don’t push them on another generation of unsuspecting DJs thinking that longevity matters at that price point.
Djm 250 sounds interesting, think its strange them pushing yet more super high end products, I mean how many normal people can afford 2000’s? And I doubt the clubs that have 2000’s will be ready to switch out already…
This won’t happen- a CD rom drive costs all of 50 cents for them to put in so there is no reason for them to make a CDrom-less CDJ and it wouldn’t do anything to the price.
