Pioneer DJ Rekordbox 4.1 DVS Released [Video]

Pioneer just released the DVS pack for Rekordbox DJ in their latest update. It would have been all gravy if it wasn’t for something that Pioneer does a lot and that is charging $99 for an update. That is right, it will cost an additional $99 on top of the $129 you probably had to pay to get Rekorbox DJ if you want DVS capability.

Pioneer just released the DVS pack for Rekordbox DJ in their latest update. It would have been all gravy if it wasn’t for something that Pioneer does a lot and that is charging $99 for an update. That is right, it will cost an additional $99 on top of the $129 you probably had to pay to get Rekorbox DJ if you want DVS capability.

What is it you get for 99 dollars you ask?

You get two modes of playing:

Absolute Mode: Replicate the experience of scratching with traditional vinyl.

Relative Mode: Access digital features regardless of where the needle is on the Control Vinyl.

You get access to MIDI Learn to assign features to your controller.

And that is it folks. If you are investing into the Pioneer ecosystem, then this is probably not going to be that big of deal for you, but for everyone else, I would presume it might render their willingness to try this out.

Pioneer does have a video which you can check out below.

Earlier this morning Pioneer DJ has finally announced it's Rekordbox DJ turntable and CDJ two channel USB soundcard called the Pioneer DJ Interface 2. This new device is a Digital Vinyl Interface that allows DJ's with any mixer to use Rekordbox DJ DVS with vinyl or CD timecode.

Earlier this morning Pioneer DJ has released a very quick teaser video of what looks to be like their new Rekordbox software with a lot more features. Specifically, it looks like the Rekordbox software that currently handles track preparation and library management for CDJ/DJM users will now be able to work in real time with new DJ controllers and perhaps even DVS timecode vinyl setups. Check out our thoughts and the quick teaser video inside.

The two-channel soundcard allows DJ's to use any mixer to play Rekordbox DVS on their computer.

Pioneer DJ's Rekordbox music management software has just received a new update that adds even more functionality than ever before. The new Rekordbox 3.0 software allows users to Tag their music and identify tracks that mix well with other tracks for future use. There's also a new preview function that allows DJ's to listen to a mix beforehand and an all new playlist view that allows users to edit and display up to five playlists at a time.

I've only used the Pioneer DJ Rekordbox software a few times while reviewing other controllers for Pioneer. I've noticed that lots of the functions and feel of the software reminded me of Serato DJ. With the release of Rekordbox 5.0, it seems that both software will have another common function with the Pioneer DJM-S9 being fully supported by both platforms.

A few weeks ago, Pioneer DJ announced the availability of its new rekordbox DJ music management app for iPhone and iPod touch. The rekordbox App enables users to prepare and manage music stored on their portable devices as well as create playlists, cue/loop point and beat location settings, perform waveform analysis, and more. The recently announced XDJ-AERO system works with the new app and enables the iPhone or iPod touch to become a main source for music content. Check out our exclusive video from the DJ Expo to see it in action after the jump.

Following the video performance from Mr Switch, Pioneer has released a new performance video, this time featuring Dj Kentaro. The new Pioneer DJM-S9 Serato DJ Mixer sports eight RGB backlit pads for each channel, and a new Magvel Pro scratch crossfader that has many unique adjustments and features for todays scratch DJ and boy does he take full use of these features. Get ready to be amazed!

Pioneer continues rolling out products with a new controller and major software update.
