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.

The Pionner XDJ-Aero All-in-one Wireless DJ system is a compact and versatile machine that allows DJ's to playback music using many different media formats including live streaming via wireless devices running the Remotebox software or App. Pioneer has just released the new XDJ-Aero 3.0 Firmware upgrade and Rekordbox 1.2 that now allows users to control functions of the mix such as loops and effects directly from a mobile device.

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.

We all knew it was coming very soon and today Pioneer Pro DJ introduced its new flagship CDJ player, the CDJ-2000nexus, with lots of new features and technologies including Wi-Fi connectivity, compatibility with Pioneer’s new rekordbox App for iOS devices, and new functions such as Beat Sync, Wave Zoom and Slip. Also upgraded this time around is the selection screen interface for better music searches and waveform display, increased visibility of the needle search pad, and improved master tempo sound quality. Check out the video, press release, and a quick breakdown inside.

Pioneer DJ has launched the all-new RMX-1000 Remix Station, a new device that enhances DJ performances with its ability to create and add a variety of new, layered, and unique remix effects. The Pioneer RMX-1000 is more than just an effector...It's a full-blown professional performance machine making it ideal for those mixing and performing DJ's to unleash effects in cool and exciting ways. The RMX-1000 can work as a USB-MIDI controller for any DJ/Production software and it also comes with the new Remixbox Software that allows users to customize the RMX-1000 on a computer to change the way it all performs. Check out the video and press release after the jump.

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.

Serato has just announced that their flagship DJ software will soon include integration with a full streaming music service with Pulselocker. The Serato 1.9.0 update will include the new streaming functionality which will allow users to search through the 44 Million tracks found on Pulselocker right within the DJ software in order to play them back to the audience.

Pioneer DJ has just announced the XDJ-R1 which is an all-in-one multi-media playback device that can be completely controlled by a wireless connection to an iPad, iPod Touch, or iPhone via Pioneer's specially designed remotebox app. DJ's can now control the mixing, volume, fading and other functions of the XDJ-R1 from way across the room. The XDJ-R1 is very versatile with CD slots, USB ports (both for MIDI software control or for Flash/Hard Drive playback), and dual screens for a true standalone capability. Pioneer has just released a slew of Tutorial and Walkthrough Videos in order to get people familiar with all the features and functions. Watch these new videos here.
