Pioneer has finally let the cat out the bag on their newest DJ controller that they've been teasing everyone about. Introducing the new Pioneer DDJ-ERGO Digital DJ controller.

The DDJ-ERGO will come bundled with the Virtual DJ LE software and is fully MIDI-mappable to other DJ software on the market. The layout is very welcoming and the ergonomics look tight with a nice smooth finish. The suggested retail on the DDJ-ERGO is only $699 so I expect the street price to be around $600.

Pioneer DJ is steadily rolling out brand new products that work in perfect harmony with the new Serato DJ Software. Last week they unveiled the new Pioneer DJM-900SRT and the DDJ-SP1 that will work with the new Serato DJ 1.5.0 update and today they announced the new DDJ-SR which is a 2-channel Digital DJ controller that also controls the Serato DJ software. The Pioneer DDJ-SR is essentially a trimmed down two-deck version of the DDJ-SX which controls four decks of Serato DJ. The new DDJ-SR is more compact than the DDJ-SX and adds a new PAD PLUS button that gives the 16-performance pads even more function.

Pioneer has just announced the third iteration in their entry level DJ controller called the Pioneer DDJ-WeGO3. Long ago, we reviewed the original DDJ-WeGO and it was a great controller for any new DJ and it had versatility to work with different software. The DDJ-WeGO3 continues where the original left off with a new sleeker design, stronger construction, and an included iOS lightning cable that also charges the iOS device while in use.

Pioneer DJ is really busy announcing new products lately! This time Pioneer announces the new DDJ-SP1 USB MIDI controller that is designed to work in conjunction with the new Serato DJ 1.5.0 software so users can trigger new effects and samples with the 16 velocity-sensitive performance pads, buttons, and knobs in a nice compact package.

Just yesterday Denon DJ announced that they were producing a new all-in-one DJ controller aimed at the entry-level or beginner DJ market who may not want to spend an arm and a leg on this new-found hobby. Pioneer DJ has also jumped on the entry-level DJ controller bandwagon with their own announcement earlier today of the all-new DDJ-WeGO. This new all-in-one Digital DJ Controller is clearly aimed at beginners with five-color combinations to choose from, a limited number of controls, and a low price. Check out the video, press release, and more breakdown from yours truly after the jump.

Pioneer DJ has announced that there is a brand new Serato DJ controller coming out next month called the Pioneer DDJ-SX2. The DDJ-SX2 is a new version of the ever-popular DDJ-SX which we reviewed when it was released almost two years ago. The new Pioneer DDJ-SX2 inherits all of the features of the original and adds multi-color RGB backlit Performance pads, hotcue markers on the jog wheel display, Serato Flip controls, and it is Serato DJ DVS compatible right out of the box.

Pioneer DJ has just announced its next generation DDJ-WeGO2 compact DJ controller that is essentially the same as the original but adds a new carry-handle that functions as a iPad/iPhone stand and a new Pioneer/Apple lightning cable to connect to the new iOS devices. The new DDJ-WeGO2 looks almost identical to the original DDJ-WeGO, but the added Multi-Purpose Grip and iOS cable are sure to appease many iPad/iPhone users who are looking for a good quality and compact controller to get in on some DJ action.

The Pioneer DDJ-SR is essentially a trimmed down two-deck version of the DDJ-SX which controls four decks of Serato DJ. The new DDJ-SR has a smaller footprint than the DDJ-SX and adds a new PAD PLUS button that gives the 16-performance pads even more functions than before. Even though only two channels are present, the controller is layered so four decks of software control is still possible. The full video and written reviews are on the way, but peep our unboxing video to see the DDJ-SR fresh out of the box.

Fresh off the heels of yesterday's new announcement made by Pioneer DJ Division regarding the release of the new DDJ-ERGO-K (Limited Edition); Pioneer has kicked it up another notch by announcing the new Pioneer XDJ-AERO Wireless Digital DJ Controller which can playback and DJ music from any Wi-Fi device such as smartphones, iPads, laptops, or any other device that is capable of using Pioneer's music managing software Rekordbox. The XDJ-AERO can also function as a standalone mixer, as a HID controller for Virtual DJ, and as a MIDI controller for Traktor or Serato. Check out the video, press release and our words inside.
