Pioneer DDJ-RZ Digital DJ Controller Overview
Pioneer DDJ-RZ Digital DJ Controller
The Pioneer DDJ-RZ DJ controller has been announced as the first native controller for rekordbox dj. What this means is that you can get your tracks ready in rekordbox and then get a plug and play performance straight from your laptop, making this the ideal solution for the professional mobile DJ. The DDJ-RZ hardware has been designed to mirror the software's layout. The benefit of this is that you have intuitive control of the software enabling you to create incredible performances to stun your audiences. The Pioneer DDJ-RZ features a club quality magnetic crossfader designed for rigorous use. It also has large jog wheels taken from the Pioneer CDJ-2000NXS plus tonnes of new functions and features to make your set one to remember. Please see further information below.
INTUITIVE LAYOUT

LARGE ALUMINIUM JOGS
The DDJ-RZ's full-sized jog wheels are optimised for a perfect scratch response and you can use Jog Feeling Adjust to set your preferred resistance. The jogs have illuminated cue point markers and an accurate countdown for even greater precision.
PERFORMANCE PADS WITH PAD FX
Hit the 16 back-lit rubber Performance Pads to trigger quantized Hot Cues, Slicer and Sampler, or use the new Pad FX to create multiple FX chains.
OSC SAMPLER
Use the new oscillator sampler to overlay four pre-set sounds - Noise, Sine, Siren and Horn - and modulate the output using the dial. The sampler also gives you the freedom to trigger and manipulate your own samples loaded to the banks in rekordbox dj.
