Pioneer hits the controllers

Pioneer which has been the club standard for CD players and mixers the last 10 years has finaly launched them selves into the controller market and delivered their first complete DJ controller for Traktor and Serato.




Pioneer DDJ-S1 (Serato)

Pioneer DDJ-T1 (Traktor)



The two new controllers are geared towards the two leading Digital DJ software on the market: Serato and offcause the fairest of them all; Traktor.

What I think is probably one of the most notable things is that the DDJ-T1 is delivered with it's own custom developed Traktor software: TRAKTOR PIONEER DDJ-T1 EDITION.
It's like most of the latest 4 deck controllers released with four faders, but only two transport controls available.

Other notable features:

• Sync and master controll pr. channel! YES!
• Two very versitile effect sections
• Interchangable Hotcue / Beatjump section
• Needle search (Touch sensitive search bar for scrolling through tracks)
• Fader start
• Loop (in/out) adjustment



Loads of buttons to push. :)
