Features

This unit is a standalone hardware sampler and sequencer for DJs that

enables intuitive performances. It functions as a new kind of musical

instrument that can also be used for DJ performances and live perfor-

mances and is equipped with a user interface providing high operability

and numerous performance functions, so a wide range of musical

expression is possible on stage.

Step sequencer

Large multicolored step input keys that can be tapped while looking at

the sequence information on each track and the track colors are pro-

vided to allow you to easily create a new groove.

Large performance pads

The unit is equipped with large rubber pads that increase or decrease

the volume depending on the strength with which they are tapped by

employing highly accurate velocity detection. Each pad has built-in

multi-color illumination so you can instantaneously understand the

information required for your performance from the color and lighting

state of the pad.

Real-time processing engine

A time stretch engine that runs for all 16 tracks in real-time, an ampli-

fier envelope, effects, etc. are available, and samples can be assigned

to tracks to suit applications such as loop, one shot, and SFX (effect

sounds) and can be easily synchronized with the sequencer and played

with high sound quality.

7-inch touch display

The display unit is equipped with a full-color LCD touch display. It

displays the information required for performances in an easy to under-

stand manner, such as the HOME screen to view the information on the

sample sound source assigned to each track that uses instrument icons

and color representations linked to the pads and the SEQUENCE screen

to understand the sequencer performance status.

Functions to synchronize performances

with external devices

This unit is of course capable of clock synchronization with MIDI-

compliant devices, but it also has the BEAT SYNC function which can

synchronize a performance with the track being played by a PRO DJ

LINK-compatible Pioneer DJ multi player such as the CDJ-2000NXS2.

Furthermore, performances can be synchronized with any equipment

manually if you use the tempo slider, which allows you to control the

tempo just like with DJ equipment, and the NUDGE button.

! Operates with compatible DJ systems when playing tracks whose

beats have been analyzed by rekordbox TM.

LIVE SAMPLING

The LIVE SAMPLING function is provided to enable the sounds input to

the unit to be sampled with a simple operation so that they can be used

as tracks. Since the sampled sounds are automatically synchronized

with sequences to play in a loop, they can be used immediately for remix

performances.

Other features

 FX

! An audio effect that enables dynamically changing any track tone

with a simple operation is available.

 Touch strip

! In addition to the pitch bend and note repeat functions, the "touch

strip" function, which allows you to customize operation parameters,
