Before start

Features

This unit, while using the same operation panel layout as Pioneer's
professional DJ equipment, has a white, rounded, amiable form. It is
designed to allow a wide range of users – from those at the start of their
DJing experience to those who have already begun DJ performances
in their home and elsewhere – to enjoy DJ performances in a variety of
situations.
PULSE CONTROL
Thanks to the use of the newly developed "Pure Platter" jog dials with
four blue LEDs and channel faders with built-in LEDs, the illumination
changes in conjunction with DJ operations, effects, etc., adding bril-
liance to DJ performances.
! Mix Pulse: The offset of the tempo on the two decks is expressed
by the blue illumination of the jog dials. The blue illumination is lit
brightly when the tempos on the two decks are synchronized, and
the more the tempos are apart, the dimmer the blue illumination.
! Beat Pulse: The illumination of the channel faders flashes according
to the decks' audio levels.
! Launch Pulse: The deck's illumination changes when a track is
loaded.
! FX Pulse: The jog dial's illumination changes in response to effect
operations.
DESIGN
With its rounded body fitting a variety of lifestyles and its white side
panel, this unit is designed to harmonize with all types of interiors.
For the coloring, the top panel is in gradated black, the jog dials in black
and silver half tones, and blue LEDs are added to the jog dials' illumina-
tion. The layout of the operating buttons and controls on the operation
panel is the same as the layout used on Pioneer's professional DJ
equipment.
