Sound Color FX: Add texture and tension by simply turning the knob: Filter, Noise, Dub Echo, Pitch. Of course, if you’re a club or pro DJ who spins on CDJs regularly, and you’d want some kit that you can use at home while retaining the Rekordbox workflow, the XDJ-700 are a cost-effective option, as far as Pioneer DJ gear goes. There are extensive effects integrated directly into the unit which do not require a laptop to work and allow you to screw and add spatial effects to your mixes. A sound colour FX section provides you with four effects including dub echo, filter, noise, and pitch with a dedicated rotary control on each channel to adjust the sound colour FX, while a beat FX provides you with three time-based effects: echo, reverb, and flanger. Using the channel selector, you can make the beat FX individually affect channel 1, channel 2, or the master channel while a level/depth control lets you smoothly dial in the effects into your mix. 7-inch full-colour screen

Trusted Shops The jogwheels may be smaller, but at least I’m re-familiarising myself with the workflow, controls, navigation, and music library needed when spinning on a pair of CDJs, which are going to be very similar. Despite its smaller size, it still looks quite impressive. Other features: All-in-one design enables simple and speedy set-up. Connect the XDJ-RR to a power source and your speakers or sound system, and you’re ready to perform. There’s no need for cables between the player and mixer sections. Multicoloured USB port: Colour-code your USB devices in rekordbox, e.g. red for techno or blue for drum & bass, and the light around the USB port will reflect that setting for ease of identification in the booth.

Review summary

Welcome to the new and improved Pioneer DJ XDJ-1000MK2. Several features have been inherited from the industry standard, and top of the range, CDJ-2000NXS2 bringing this USB only multiplayer to the forefront of DJ technology. VirtualDJ Home is the free version of the most popular DJ mixing software of the same name, used by professionals. It has a few limitations compared to the pro version, but it is capable of mixing audio and videos yielding somewhat professional result. With this program, users can start creating basic mixing compilations; and even though it’s not really a program for novices, it’s intuitive and can be learned fast. My Settings: Prepare your system’s setting preferences in rekordbox and instantly switch to your own settings during DJ changeovers in the booth. Playable files：MP3 (Sampling rate: 32/44.1/48 kHz, Bit depth: 16-bit), AAC (Sampling rate: 16/22.05/24/32/44.1/48 kHz, Bit depth: 16-bit) WAV, AIFF, FLAC, Apple Lossless

As such, the XDJ-700 is a niche product. However, there is a small audience of controller DJs there who would like to try spinning without a laptop present. They are looking for hardware that would let them cut their teeth on and, at the same time, retain essential functionality, library management, and controls found in DJ booths the world over without spending the equivalent price of a used car (or dipping into their kid’s college fund). For these folk, the XDJ-700 should be on their shortlist, along with the XDJ-1000MK2. The Pioneer XDJ-RR is a brand new 2-channel all-in-one DJ system that runs using Pioneer’s proprietary Rekordbox DJ software and has been designed to help aspiring DJs learn essential and professional techniques so they can take their knowledge to the DJ booth with confidence. The XDJ-RR inherits a wealth of professional controls and functions from the flagship NXS2 range and loads them into a highly-portable, lightweight unit that is ideal for bedrooms, parties, and gigs as you progress through the DJ ranks. Mixer SectionPioneer's XDJ-700 has several top-quality features crammed within its casing, including Auto Loops, Hot Cues, Beat Sync, Quantize and Slip Mode to name a few. In addition to this, it is the very first multiplayer, at its price point, to incorporate the Pro DJ Link feature. This specially incorporated feature enables up to four players or laptops to share one source between all of them, including the sharing of Beat Sync, Phase Meter, Key Analysis and Beat Count information. Professional layout for familiarity at home and in the booth The XDJ-1000 mirrors the layout of the club standard CDJs, so DJs can perfect their sets at home and move effortlessly to the booth to perform. The 206 mm jog wheels are the same size as those on the CDJ-2000NXS, for instant familiarity wherever a DJ plays. Using thumb drives with Rekordbox-prepared music is the way to go if you’re using an XDJ-700 set-up: the higher cost of an XDJ-700, compared to a DJ controller, comes from the fact that it works standalone without a computer. Again, if you really want to use a laptop running Rekordbox DJ when you gig out, go get a DJ controller that you can use at home like the DDJ-RX or DDJ-RB. You can then just plug in your laptop to the club’s CDJ/DJM kit when you’re at the gig, or you can take along your controller too if the venue doesn’t have a set-up.
