Pioneer DDJ-SX2 digital DJ controller

General

In response to the release of Serato Flip, Pioneer has given the DDJ-SX a thorough makeover. The result - the DDJ-SX2 - is ready for some serious beat sketching with Serato Flip. Of course you can simply use the controller's hot cue buttons, but there are also a number of dedicated buttons for the control of your recorded cues. The DDJ-SX2 supports Serato's renowned timecode system DVS as well, which means you can use a real turntable for scratching and beatmatching, instead of platters. Serato's Pitch 'n Time is included too so that you can easily change the speed and pitch of tracks for even easier mixing. In short: the DDJ-SX has been completely brought up to speed!

Pioneer DDJ-SX: an improved concept

With the DDJ-SX2, Pioneer has not reinvented the wheel, but upgraded the original DDJ-SX controller. It still boasts the same familiar features, including eight trigger pads and four cue buttons per side, plus a platter with matching pitch fader. Each of the DDJ-SX2's controls has been assigned to a specific function in Serato, so you won't have to navigate an endless menu each time you want to change your settings. To provide you with a clear overview under ill-lit circumstances, the controller's buttons are all brightly backlit. With the DDJ-SX2, you're fully equipped to hit the stage!

Serato and Serato Flip

Serato software is quite popular among DJs thanks to its great reliability and remarkable flexibility. It allows you to prepare your sets at home, so you can perform at your best when you're up on the stage. Serato Flip enables you to record and easily re-play up to 6 cues per track, and serves as an excellent beat sketch pad as well, allowing you to prolong your tracks to any extent you want. Naturally, the DDJSX2 is equipped with a mixer, complete with 3-band EQ and dedicated filter knob, and the controller's rear panel is fitted with all the connectors you need for a professional setup. Now that Pioneer has armed you with a full arsenal of fantastic features and functions, all you need is a tour schedule!
