DDJ-SX Controller in Pearl White Version
Pioneer’s DDJ-SX-W inherits the same advanced features as the original version, utilizing Serato DJ software as the basis for its control layout and ergonomic design, taking advantage of the software’s features and integrating special performance pads and controls. The model also includes large jog wheels for precise mixing and scratching, multiple inputs for expandability, and 4-channel mixing flexibility.
- Performance Pads – Pioneer added eight “performance pads” located below the jog wheel for four different functionalities – HOT CUE, ROLL, SLICER and SAMPLER. Each soft-touch rubber pad illuminates in blue to enable users to quickly tap the pad(s) for each effect, with the output volume varying depending on the strength of each tap.
- Large Jog Wheels – The larger jog wheels on the DDJ-SX-W are fined-tuned to provide users with the best “feel” and the shortest latency. The unit also features an “On Jog” display located on the center of each wheel to provide instantaneous visual feedback of playback status and the position of playing tracks.
- 4-Channel Mixer – The DDJ-SX-W features an independent 4-channel mixer that can be used with other external sources such as turntables. Its master level meter provides instantaneous sound level adjustment as well as independent output controls with a display indicator for each channel when used as a standalone mixer.
Pioneer DDJ-SX-W Controller Includes:
- Dual Deck – The DDJ-SX-W enables two tracks to be controlled at the same time, allowing scratching or setting and recalling hot cues on both tracks as if they were performed on a single track.
