give me the old djm 600 and i'll be spinning like there is no tomorrow.

Official press release: http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/content/p...ws/DJM2000.html

YES EQ KILLS!

FINALLY

Meh. Doesn't sound that special. Looks cluttered and layout is all over the place. Probably some nice new features, but what's the price tag like?

2200 RRP. Considering it has an EFX-1000 practically built in, it's not overly expensive. It is expensive since it's Pioneer but nothing that isn't managable.

AU$? I don't think I'll be buying one in a hurry and I like my effects.

Wow. This thing looks like a BEAST!

6 Effects per channel is huge too I agree.

It looks like it could be neat if you're into dropping three different effects per track. I would like to see a demo video on it because I think the effects unit on there will have far less functionality than an actual efx 1000 and I'm of the mentality of getting a machine that serves one purpose really well since when you cram a bunch of things onto one device usually it doesn't do any of them well.

Full kill eqs on a Pioneer are certainly welcome.

Here's some videos kiddies....

why the hell don't any of these new mixers come in rotary anymore?

looks interesting but that thing is massive! i like the youtube videos with 4 cdj2000s... wouldn't mind having that setup!

Because as much as I love them, rotary mixers are a bit of a niche market.

I was looking at buying a new mixer in a few months. Hopefully the introduction of this, like the discontinuation of the CDJ-1000mk3s, will result in a nice price drop of their other mixers.

The frequency mix mode seems butt fuckingly retardedly implemented. A relatively cramped touchscreen trying to compensate for actual eq knobs

I don't think I'd ever use it. Decent concept though.

what's the niche? don't tell me house djs.

That is one sick mixer. I doubt I'll buy it right of way. One note hopefully Pioneer separated the digital out and made it independent from the master volume. Or at least give you the option to modify it.

To answer the rotary question. I'm sure a rotary kit will be made available for the 2000. I seem to recall when the 800 was released, it wasn't until after its release the rotary add on was made available. I myself have grown fond of rotary style. Ever since I bought my Urei, and Vestax, I've been practicing with them (not used on a gig yet)and I find the transitions are much better and cleaner with a rotary versus a fader. I don't even use a crossfader, I just treat the inputs as a rotary.

I doubt Hip Hop guys would use a rotary. My DJ partner tried to mix on Vestax PM-25. He couldn't do it. I think some are just afraid of it. Most DJ's I know, mostly the younger generations, grew up on faders, and never tried rotary because it was no longer there.

Some sound reinforcement mixing consoles have gone the route of the touch screen to eliminate knobs. One model in particular is the Yamaha M7-CL. My least favorite digital console. I prefer knobs, not touch screens. Screens fail all the time, and you can't see them in sunlight.

While I mostly agree, one thing in its merit to point out is that now you'd be able to have finer control when changing multiple (3+) EQs. Trying to turn 6 knobs at once with only 2 hands becomes tricky Granted most people would rarely want to change 6 EQs at a time, but there are often situations when I'd like to change 4 gradually and simultaneously. But the screen does seem too small, there must be a better design for that.

One thing to improve on the small screen is add some type of VGA connection on the back of the mixer. This way, whatever the small screen displays can be displayed on a bigger monitor so you can see it better. It does add another monitor to the booth but I think it could benefit.

no 4 band eq...boooo.

I wonder if you can change the settings on frequency mix touch screen to emulate 4 eqs on a xone...hmmm
