Pioneer ‘Nexus’?
Apparently there’s a YouTube clip of James Zabiela having a bash.
(Apparently, in that I can’t view).
Anyone wanna find it, post it, and provide 1080p screen caps?
Can’t access YouTube from work…
never heard of it, but just watched the video. looks awesome. there arent any direct shots of it, but from the looks of the parts they show, it looks like a djm800 with an upgraded fx section, possibly an xy pad replacing the standard fx knobs and what not. sounds good from the short vid
Is it the DJM-2000? its like a djm-800+efx1000+a touch screen with midi capiabilities?
Video is just 4 hours old so think it’s a new one. Typical that they throw it in today, they probably feel the heat of Traktor pro 2
They were just waiting to rain on NI parade. Business is Business I guess. Judging from his previous videos and just the hints they dropped it sounds like it’s a new EFX unit. Could be a new Mixer/Efx combo but my bet is on a new EFX. Hopefully it’s not nearly as expensive as the 1000 but knowing pioneer it’ll be about 1400-1500$. Maybe that will drop the price of the older models. Thanks for the post.
sounds like an updated 800 with quantized effects unit, sound card, and touch strips.
if that things both serato and traktor compatible like he implies (As does the name nexus when you think about it, they are going to sell a metric fuckton of those things.
gonna have to steal that unit of measure from you hehe
yeah looks cool but … “which take the Pioneer ProDJ Link and rekordbox concept to the next level” … Personally I’m not too excited about either of those concepts. I suppose I would be if I had the money to shell out for CDJ 2000s, perhaps? A new pioneer effects box alone would be cool to play with I’m sure, but I’m not sure I’d be interested in paying the premium for “rekordbox” technology.
I believe that is when they will have an actual unveiling of it could be wrong thou.
he says ableton and traktor.. not serato and traktor, just to clarify for the kids playing at home.. 
i think its most definitely an ‘upgraded 800’ judging by the pics and the way he talks about it (the 800) already being in most clubs, and how this going to be compatible for people with traktor and ableton to be able to just plug in (with the unit’s internal sound card)…
hmmm… the new club standard?
James Zabiela shows next big thing by Pioneer :
Absolute the follow up from the DJM800, he’s say’s in the video.
i think it’s gonna be called :
DJM900 Nexus
What i see in this video :
Layout djm800
6 inst EFX
X-Track pad
What i hear in this video :
Quantized EFX
Soundcard supporting Traktor.
i REALLY want those pioneer monitors.
My guess: 1900-2500 USD? Still looking at the DB4 regardless of cost
Pioneer Nexus
Looks like a new mixer, probably the 800 replacement.
nice !
lots of cheap 800’s on the second hand market !
looks like they added a matrix input (there is an extra knob over the gain on the last image)
also seems to have 6 direct effects like on the 2000
“using traktor, plug straight in”
if this thing as a sound card and is traktor scratch certified, it’s going to be so sweet.
plus if it could connect to the CDJs, and if you ad good HID support for the CDJ 900 and 2000 :
you come to the club, and all you have to do is plug one usb cable in the mixer, boom, instand control over 2 CDJs, + you add a kontrol X1 for effects and sample decks…
is he STILL doing that boring transformer trick?
// edit: just finished watching. doesn’t look like much. fx laughable compared to TSP. but then, this is pioneer… they haven’t been pioneering much since the CDJ1000.
Pretty close to what I was thinking. But I took it a step further and though Traktor’s effects were laughable to the possibilities of Ableton + Reaktor.
I’m pretty excited though, but for other DJ Buddies that will have nerdgasms over this.
I’m halfway excited, halfway skeptical.
On one hand, being able to plug in traktor to a pair of CDJ straight off a mixer sounds pretty sweet.
On the other, it really sounds like Pioneer are pushing what they can do to the absolute MAX without having to actually, you know, reinvent themselves.
Something breaking your game down and building something new from scratch is a good thing. That’s what a great bunch of DJ’s, especially around here, looks to have done by going digital.
I’d much rather see Pioneer apply their build quality and expertise to a brand new concept or line of products instead of trying to bake more bread on their now ten years old CDJ paradigm.
I posted the screen captures from the Video here:
