Specificaties

Ontworpen door DJ's voor DJ's en geďnspireerd door Pioneer's industriestandaard (de CDJ-1000), is dit jongste lid van de wereldbekende CDJ familie helemaal voorbereid op gebruik door de nieuwe generatie digitale artiesten. De CDJ-400 maakt het DJ's mogelijk hun MP3 collectie vanaf CD-R/RW discs te spelen of vanaf een USB massaopslagmedium zoals USB sticks, externe harddisks en draagbare mediaspelers [1]. De speler bezit ook 's werelds eerste Scratch Jog effecten [2], met drie creatieve scratch effecten en een wonderbaarlijke nieuwe loop-splits-functie.

Garantie: 2 jaar.

Details

Virtually all of the button and slider functions can send MIDI data via USB output, making it possible for the decks to control DJ software and other applications, such as Pioneer DJS [3] or Serato Scratch LIVE [4] on a PC or MAC. The CDJ-400 deck is a perfect partner for the DJM-400 mixer and together they provide the ultimate home party set-up.

"With USB, MP3 and MIDI support, the world's first Scratch Jog Effects and inspirational looping abilities, the CDJ-400 has been designed to keep DJs in tune with the latest digital developments, adding new levels of performance to their sets" says Jason Pook, European Product Development Manager, Pioneer Europe.

Key Features :

Digital media playback
The CDJ-400 handles CD Audio and MP3 files from CD, while USB connectivity lets DJs draw upon sound libraries on external storage devices [5]. Through the new push-selection Rotary Scroll Wheel and Back Button, users can navigate files and folders as simply and quickly as on many of the leading portable media players available today.

MIDI control via USB
With Pioneer's finger firmly on the pulse of digital DJ developments, it is only natural that the CDJ-400 can control DJ and music application software. This is achieved by simply selecting the PC Source Select button, so that virtually all of the deck's buttons and slider can send MIDI control data via the PC USB connection. So when MIDI is the message, the CDJ-400 definitely delivers. For example, a DJ can connect the CDJ-400 to a PC or MAC and play and manipulate files from their favourite DJ application software - such as Pioneer DJS or Serato Scratch LIVE [4] - and this doesn't even require a time-code disc to be used in the deck.

New illuminated Jog Wheel
With a design inspired by the club standard CDJ-1000 Jog Wheel comes the CDJ-400's 115mm illuminated platter. You can choose from six different patterns of Jog Wheel illumination and even personalise your own CDJ 'slip mats' or jog sheets [6].

New Scratch Jog Effects
In addition to the Digital Jog Break Effects (JET, WAH and ROLL) found in CDJ Mode, Pioneer serves up the world's first Scratch Jog Effects, BUBBLE, TRANS and WAH, in vinyl mode. BUBBLE simulates a scratch technique and is great for spin backs, while TRANS is like rhythmically transforming with a mixer's cross fader and WAH resembles the guitar Wah pedal.

New Beat Loop Divide
Can you dance to this b-b-beat? Making the magic of live mash-up even more manageable, the funky new Beat Loop Divide facility rhythmically dices loops to fashion beats with drama, intrigue or whatever your desired effect. It is easily adjustable using its (- and +) buttons during loop playback, thereby creating loops with mind-melting, dancefloor-destroying twists.

Hot Loop and Beat Loop
Besides the Beat Loop Divide, the CDJ-400 lets DJs create flawless four-beat Beat Loops and Hot Loops. For the latter hit the Hot Loop (In/Out point) buttons during a loop to retrigger the loop. Up to 10 Cue/Loop points per disc, for up to 920 discs, can be stored in memory and transferred by usb key between CDJ-400s.
