Pioneer new controller!

[Jester]

back on topic please guys. any more info on this?

As far as controllers vs DVS is concerned. Once you've established yourself, wherever you are, I don't think it will be an issue if you play with whatever equipment you want.

As far as this teaser, I don't think pioneer understands that they will have to compete in this market. They are not the 'industry standard' for controllers and their will not be an industry standard for many years.

Therefore, people will not pay x2 for their products.

I think I've never seen before a two deck controller with jogwheels and strip-search (not counting the V7).

I'm excited to see what innovations Pioneer has up its sleeves.

aww man look pretty sweet! and yea others mentioned before it's above the 400-600$ price man i wouldn't bother even looking at it. But damn i am kind of getting jealous of all the new smaller portable controllers cus i just recently ordered the twitch and all of the sudden i see new cheap controllers start to come out giving so many new options. anyways time will tell if this baby is worth it or not....

i am kinda hoping its for twitch because other than native instruments' own controllers (S4/S2) the jogwheels dont play too nice in traktor (eg. the ddj-t1 has a very slight sticker drift last time i tried it while the ddj-s1 for itch has really responsive jogwheels, im not sure if they addressed the issue in a newer update of ddj-t1)

also from past experience with pio cdjs that i had (400 & 900) traktor hid mode jogwheel response isnt very good in traktor

A CDJ is a controller. Just thought you all should know. On topic though...it is a Pioneer product...going to be overpriced and made of cheap plastic...like usual.

As fun, creative and cheap controller are, they will never become a standard. All the DVS, CDJ guys will still make fun of you when you bring your toy looking controller to a booth.

Maybe in your world, but in mine no one seems to give a fuck, and yes, I play out regularly with pro djs.

The thing is, its pioneer. itll cost the same as twitch and the S2 combined and have half the features.

Also: Take your midi/artist hate to DJforums or something, not here.

This. And from the photo it looks like they've mounted the whole thing into a baking tray. Maybe it's multi purpose.

If Pioneer learns their lesson I'll pay the price.

[VanDerWAVY]

meh!

doesnt look very 'pioneer-ry' if ya get what i mean?

the 2 channel controller market is a tad crowded and knowing Pioneer it wont be cheap

bit of a waste oppurtunity seeing as the DDJ-S1 & T1 were 2 years too late....
