Does anyone know anything about the new Pioneer CDJ?

Armin was talking about it, Richard Vission talks about it on his twitter/facebook, but does anyone really know what the new Pioneer CDJ is like?

Is it the DVJ-1000?



http://www.pioneerprodj.com/dj-equi...vd/dvj-1000.asp

Or is there a totally brand new animal of CDJ new gen?

i heard it plays CD's

I thought it was supposed to be announced tomor the 16th?

the DVJ huh? i saw this at an electronics show a few years ago... i think it was DVEXPO '05 or 06'. Well it plays DVD music videos... and it "scratches" video images kinda like a hip hop dj scratches music.

I figure it may sell in the hiphop/top 40 club market... but not really be that big for electronic djs naturally because our type of music is smoothly blended. But who knows... if you're rich you can play Electronic music and just have another element of entertainment for the audience... random videos... haha.

Blah i tried to get the videos to work here but i coudlnt.

There are 3 vids here:

It's here - the fully loaded DVJ-1000. Offering the same operation and layout as the CDJ-1000MK3, but with enhanced DVD specifications, the new deck allows DJs to easily create and add visuals to their sets. Its core CDJ-1000MK3 capabilities are enhanced by several groundbreaking features, while DVD visuals can be manipulated as you would music; so digital video scratches, loops and instant cues are all possible. DJs can perform audio-only sets while having the option to mix DVD with a powerful and versatile range of effects on hand. The best of both worlds. The DVJ-1000 can be slotted into existing booth set-ups making it a logical purchase, fusing a high-quality CD deck with the future - where visual artistry is becoming commonplace. Additional features include MP3 compatibility (with an intuitive navigator), a brighter and larger WAVE display, studio-quality 96 kHz/24-bit audio and several new innovations like 4X hyper jog mode and a back-and-forth loop button. It's a globetrotter too, playing both NTSC and PAL DVDs using a built-in standards converter; ideal for performers working with DVDs from Europe and the States. Talking of visual artistry, research shows that around 70% of clubs and 60% of music bars are installing visual equipment; so there's a definitive need in the market for future-proof technology for creating imaginative and engaging visual sets. Specifications The DVJ-1000 offers the standard features and enhanced specification of the CDJ-1000MK3, allowing DJs to easily add visuals to their sets. It includes 'JOG feeling adjustment' that tailors the deck to performers' individual styles and retains the familiar look and feel of the CDJ-1000MK3 with pitch control, cues and loops executed in the same intuitive fashion. Formats and MP3 Navigation The deck supports CD (CD-R/RW) and DVD (DVD-R/RW) media and performers who work with DVD in Europe and the States will value the convenience of built-in PAL/NTSC compatibility. The DVJ-1000 sets a new benchmark for music portability - up to 1,000 MP3 tracks can be accessed on DVD-ROM - and provides the most advanced deck for working with this ever-popular format. When connected to a preview monitor, the MP3 Navigator makes track selection a breeze: the information is displayed on a larger screen, DJs can search for music by file and up to eight subfolders (for example, genre of music, artist, track) and seven lines of text are available. For ease, a cursor button is included on the deck to scroll through and select files. Track information DJs also receive more information from the Preview Output Display. This enhanced feature provides an extensive dashboard (through a preview monitor) that displays key information for DVD, CD and MP3 including: DVD content, WAVE, title, artist, album, main cue points and three hot cue points. The DVJ-1000 retains the recent display improvements to the CDJ-1000MK3. The 360� On-Jog Display is improved by being raised on the wheel and lit fluorescently, the cue marker is larger and the 45� angle marks make it easier for scratch DJs to time their effects. The track display's resolution has been doubled and the lighting is multicolor and fluorescent, while the WAVE data and playing address data encompass a complete track. Studio quality sound With its 96 kHz/24-bit audio, the DVJ-1000 will be used by studios, producers and artists who have the option of outputting their tracks in optimum clarity. Connected to our digital chain of mixers and effectors, the DVJ-1000 delivers unparalleled audio quality. Another feature that appeals to music professionals is our Legato Link Pro. This digital filter applies up-sampling technology to reproduce audio information lost in some disc formats (DVD: 48 kHz \ 192 kHz; CD: 44.1 kHz \ 176.4 kHz). Performance loops A new back-and-forth loop button allows seamless looping in four sequential steps forwards and backwards; it's a creative feature that also reproduces a smooth progression of audio and images by removing jitter. Further original developments include: * the one-track chapter seamless loop (the track is looped continuously when the button is pressed for a second) * a 4-beat loop button (provides automatic 4-beat looping without needing to select the out point) * an adjustable loop in point and the back lighting of the re-loop button. For DVJs who use short video clips, the one-track loop button is a convenient feature - it repeatedly plays back the content. Fast search A new 4X speed hyper jog mode has been created to support rapid searching. This also accelerates the speed at which video and audio can be scratched to extend creativity. The search facilities are complemented by a new manual search facility using the Jog Wheel (at up to 160X speed) and the WAVE display to locate tracks. Additional features As with the CDJ-1000MK3, gold RCA connectors are included and the deck also has a digital out to ensure the highest level of sonic purity when connected to the DJM-1000 or DJM-800 digital mixer series, for example. In addition, the deck includes a 'resume play' function to restart playing from the same point if a CD or DVD is accidentally ejected. * MP3 Playback from DVD-R/RW, CD-R/RW: Allows playback of MP3 files recorded onto DVD discs (record about 1,500 MP3 songs depending on bit rate and compression technology used). * 4-Beat Loop: Pressing the button while playing automatically sets a seamless four-beat loop. * 24bit/96kHz Digital Out: The audio output for DVD provides a connection to a Pioneer digital mixer (DJM-1000, DJM-800) that retains the signal path entirely in the digital domain for a cleaner sounding mix with less noise and distortion. * Preview Monitor: A preview screen shows a range of information without the need to switch display modes, including: track number, time, track name/artist name/album title, wave display, playing address, hot cue point data and cue point data. * Cue / Loop Point Navigator: Display memorized cue / loop point information on the preview screen of a monitor (12 points per page) for quicker navigation and callback of stored data.

I'm with you on this one. I honestly was a bit disappointed knowing this new gen of CDJ is actually a DVJ! And I could imagine this DVJ probably going to cost more than 2k. Not sure what direction the EDM DJs is going now with this DVJ... if there'll be a high demand of EDM DJ who can also VJ at the same time, then there'd be a revolution in the EDM industry.

I'm still kinda hoping that this DVJ isn't the one though

EDIT: and i do say "if you're rich" then you can enjoy this new device because you would have to buy the DVJ's, dvd's, a projector, and probably even a special mixer for it... not sure. I don't know too much about it.


And yeah able... if it will be a new demand in the future, i don't think it will affect us Electronic djs much... we can just play our music as usual and they can have some random psychedelic 3d colorful computer generated graphics on some screen. lol.

Armin has used DVDJs for awhile. It's always for vocal tracks...with the lyrics up on the screen.

Markus Schulz has also started to put them into his gigs.

DVJ's have been around for a while. Hip Hop DJ's don't like them at all. They prefer Serato Video SL. Every hip hop DJ I know that mixes videos, uses Serato Video SL. It just makes sense. DVJ's are a step back.

Saw this at CES and CEDIA. Its neat but was hoping the product was something else.

On the other hand... This is what I belive Able is looking for.. The NEW "PLAYERS" that are getting announced on Thursday.

New animal. Look at the videos above.

i know jesse, Sander K used them years ago at a couple new years gigs at avalon... my point was though that No One Else has used them... or can maybe afford them at their introductory price.

and i do agree, DVJ's are a step back... frankly... i don't care for the DVJ at all. It's all about the music... i think we can leave the visuals to someone else like a graphic design artist who actually has an artistic talent or whatnot...

Yeah very pricey. When they first came out they were $3,500 for the DVJ-X1. The DVJ1000 now runs around $2200. Still pricey, but not worth it. They have some lag time, plus you still need a video mixer.

I have a paid of the DVJ-X1 but only because the club replaced them with CDJ1000's. I know eventually I have to give them back, but I had them for a year already.

Also, video mixing is no joke. There's a lot of work involved, specially lots of video editing. Trust me, I do video mixing every weekend.

My Point Exactly!... i've edited video for years... i even made a 7 minute music video for matt cerf and jaren... that took me DAYS to make...

Is an AUDIO dj really gonna make a visual worth producing on the fly...

the answer is no.

DVJ... Two thumbs wayyyy down.

You'll be surprised. In the Hip Hop/Mashup/Top 40 World, more and more DJ's are learning to edit. Not only that, but now there's video services that offer nothing but video mixes to the mashups, and even extended, acapellas, and DJ tools to the most current songs. That's making video mixing vary affordable now. Not only that, but if you spin videos, you can make some good money too!

hehehehe

the new player is not the DVJ bullshit at all

DJs have confirmed that it has:

a touch screen

im pretty sure Sander K was the first to use them, but yea...if u look in the booth for alot of these DJ's, there is 1 DVDJ in the booth

looks like more cash is needed to afford the new player...

im sticking to my trusty 2 1200 and a mixer. i love my vinyl records too much

a little hint from Richard Vission, it sounds like he picked it up today from Pioneer and already had some fun with it:

" Richard Vission - the info will be out Friday on the new CDJ's...hint...there going to eliminate CDs and I can't see anyone using laptops after this"

jajajajaja... what the hell is this thing?

pretty nice tease from laidback luke

I imagine it's a new CDJ that just has a USB port for external devices. It's like how DVD players have USB slots these days for external devices. But wait...don't they already do that?

And whether it's on a USB drive or on a CD, I imagine the touch screen just takes you through the directories by default but if you use their software I bet you it stores info from the tracks bpm, key, etc etc...so DJs can use it to sort tracks so harmonic mixing is easier. That;s something I'd love!

Armin basically said you could be playing CDs and then someone can bring you a USB drive with a track they just finished even if it's in the middle of his set....

If it doesn't play CDs, then that's retarded. It will just be a specialty CDJ in clubs that the big DJs can request.

wow. so all you need to rock a party is a flash drive? awsome. just imagine youre a dj with tons of cds. now you can walk into a club and insert your flash drive in the turntable and go.
