Sorry, it looked like Serato at first glance. Although I'm sure there's going to be a Traktor mapping as well.

That's not serato, that's VDJ.

VDJ's gotten a srs. facelift since I used it then.

VDJ allows custom skins. It can look like anything at all.

I've forgotten this.


It's been too long, VDJ. Too damn long.

Pitch fader —way to close to volume fader. Shipping with Virtual DJ is also a bad decision IMO. I think Pioneer need to get past the fact that controllers are just not for beginners anymore.

[MrPopinjay]

I don't think they ever thought that. I mean look at the other two controllers- holy hell. I've never seen anything try harder to be "pro"

Someone explain to me why there "entry level controller" has more features than a pair of CDJ 2000s. I know the answer, it all just seems such foolishness.

They are trying to protect there industry standard CDJ and DJM line up. But why not embrace the technology and come out with a total game changer and high quality controller that will blow everyones socks off at a somewhat reasonable price (the DDJ lineup missed the mark). Forget about the CDJ workflow and design a controller for the controller DJ workflow.

Maybe I am just bitter because I think if controllers were to become more accepted and a standard….Pioneer have the ability to become game changers just like they did with there early line of CDJs and they just keep seeming to miss the mark IMO. Others make think differently I am just venting here.
