Features

This unit, while using the same operation panel layout as Pioneer's professional DJ equipment, has a rounded, amiable form. It is designed to allow a wide range of users – from those at the start of their DJing experience 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 brilliance 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 brightly 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 to the decks' audio levels.
• Launch Pulse: The deck's illumination changes when a track is loaded.
  FX Pulse: The jog dial's illumination changes in response to effect operations.

TRAKTOR PRO 2

DESIGN

This unit is designed with a rounded body, making it suitable to a wide variety of lifestyles 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 a chair, or the feet can be removed and the controller operated while standing, allowing users to enjoy a wide range of DJ performance styles.

TRAKTOR LE 2

Also, upgrading to TRAKTOR PRO 2 makes it possible not only to operate a multitude of functions but also to control various other DJ software programs.

HIGH SOUND QUALITY

List of MIDI Messages

With TRAKTOR 2, MIDI messages for assigning TRAKTOR 2 functions to the MIDI are expressed "Note ^1 + English scale ^2 " or "CC ^3 + control number".

On the table below, the MIDI messages output from this unit's buttons and controls are indicated in the same way as in TRAKTOR 2.

1 "Note" is a MIDI term used when pressing or releasing notes on a piano or other keyboard.
2 The English scale indicates the tones using letters C, D, E, F, G, A and B and "#" indicating halftones.
"CC" is the abbreviation of "control change". A control change is a type of MIDI signal used to transmit various types of control information, such as timbre, volume, etc.

On this unit, values from 0 to 127 are output as CC mainly when controls and faders are operated. CC are also output when certain buttons are operated.

• When operated while pressing the [SHIFT] button, the code for when the [SHIFT] button is on is set.
• MIDI messages cannot be assigned to the [SHIFT] button.

With this unit, the various sections are connected to the MIDI channels shown below.
