Before start Features This unit, while using the same operation panel layout as Pioneer's pro: fessional DJ equipment, has a rounded, amiable form. lt is designed to allow a wide range of users — from those at the start of their DJing experi ence to those who have already begun DJ performances in their home and elsewhere — to enjoy DJ performances in a variety of situations. PULSE CONTROL Thanks to the use of the newly developed “Pure Platter” jog dials with four white LEDs and channel faders with built-in LEDs, the illumination changes in conjunction with DJ operations, effects, etc., adding bril- liance to DJ performances. + Mix Pulse: The offset of the tempo on the two decks is expressed by the white illumination of the jog dials. The white illumination is lit brightiy when the tempos on the two decks are synchronized, and the more the tempos are apart, the dimmer the white illumination + Beat Pulse: The illumination of the channel faders flashes according Lo the decks' audio levels. + Launch Pulse: The decK's illumination changes when a track is loaded + FX Pulse: The jog dial illumination changes in response to effect operations. TRAKTOR PRO DESIGN This unit is designed with a rounded body, making it suitable to a wide variety of lfestyles and harmonizing with all types of interiors. In addition, the basically black design not only harmonizes with interiors but also gives it a professional look. Furthermore, the buttons and controls on the operation panel have the same layout as Pioneer’s professional DJ devices. LAPTOP DOCK This unit uses a new “Laptop Dock" structure by which, when installed at an angle, the keyboard section of a notebook computer slides under the controller. Not only can the controller be installed in small spaces, it can be set at an angle with the feet still on and operated while seated in à chair, or the feet can be removed and the controller operated while standing, allow ing users to enjoy a wide range of DJ performance styles. TRAKTOR LE 2 The “TRAKTOR LE 2° DJ software offering a full range of basic functions for DJ performances is included Also, upgrading to TRAKTOR PRO 2 makes it possible not only to oper- äte a multitude of functions but also to control various other DJ software programs.

This product supports USB bus power. It can be used simply by connect ing it to a computer with a USB cable.

This product inherits the sound quality technology developed over the years for Pioneer DJ hardware to achieve the top level of sound quality in its class.
