Description
Native control over the new rekordbox video Plus Pack for rekordbox dj.
The Pioneer DDJ-RZX is a 4-channel professional controller for mobile DJs and anyone who wants to bring videos into their performances. Designed to make the most of the new rekordbox video Plus Pack for rekordbox dj, the DDJ-RZX builds on Pioneer's heritage of making video DJ equipment like the DVJ-1000 and SVM-1000. It features three touch screens for viewing track information and applied pad effects. Video previewing and monitoring is sharp on the 7 in. screens and they give access to all the key features in both rekordbox dj and the new rekordbox video Plus Pack, included with the DDJ-RZX.
You only need to use your laptop to browse your rekordbox library and select tracks. Two XLR combo input jacks give distortion-free Mic output and the 3-band Mic EQ and Mic FX let you tune each voice. Plus, the extensive FX unit includes Combo FX, Sampler Repeat and Release FX, as well as the studio-quality Sound Color FX from the DJM-900NXS2 mixer. It inherits traits from the CDJ-2000NXS2 multiplayer and DJM mixer series including large jog wheels, multicolored Performance Pads and high-quality sound.
Layout Mirrors CDJ Set-Up
Mix audio and videos instinctively with features inherited from the CDJ and DJM Series including large jog wheels and multicolored tactile Performance Pads. The 4-channel controller has an independent sampler section for intuitive control of Beat Sync, Quantize and Trim on the sampler.
High-Quality Sound
Hear the true sound of your tracks thanks to AC inlets for reduced cable contact resistance and a high-performance 96 kHz/32-bit D/A converter made by Asahi Kasai. Plus, low jitter clock IC and the 96 kHz/24-bit USB soundcard ensure powerful, high-quality sound.
Three Touch Screens for Complete Control
Take your performances to the next level by using the three 7 in. touchscreens to preview/monitor video and image files, and to trigger Beat FX and Release FX. Plus, Touch FX lets you add FX and adjust parameters by tracing on the x and y axes on the display. Use deck display mode to check track information such as titles, BPM and key. And use mixer display mode to see enlarged waveforms for each track, as well as loop and Hot Cue information. Create instant doubles by simply touching the display.
Professional Mic Section
Hear voices loud and clear thanks to two XLR combo input jacks for Mics. Control the output with the 3-band Mic EQ and use the four Mic FX – Echo, Reverb, Pitch and V Tune – to add texture and to tune each voice.
