[Video] DJ Blakey - DDJ-SX Performance

Our good friends over at Pioneer DJ spent some time with DJ Blakey in late 2012 in order to get him familiar with the Pioneer DDJ-SX when it was originally announced. The Pioneer DDJ-SX is still one of the best DJ controllers out on the market today for the full Serato DJ software and there is also a new mapping to use the controller with Traktor Pro 2. Be sure to check out our full HD-Video and written reviews of the Pioneer DDJ-SX and watch the cool performance video below for some mixing inspiration.

The folks over at Serato DJ spent some time with Nick Hook to talk shop and to get busy on the Pioneer DDJ-SX with some cool Trap style mixing. The Pioneer DDJ-SX is still the premier DJ controller for the full Serato DJ software and to date it still offers the most control over the extensive features in the Serato DJ software.

The new flagship Pioneer DDJ-SX Digital DJ controller for Serato DJ has been on the block for about a month and some change at this point and Pioneer saw it fit to bless the masses with two new videos to show DJ's what the DDJ-SX is all about. The First Video is a Tutorial video that will take you through most of the features of the DDJ-SX while the next video is an actual performance video that ties it all together. Our DDJ-SX will be on the way to the Lab following our CDJ-2000nexus review, so sit tight and check out these cool new videos in the meantime.

The brand new Flagship Pioneer/Serato Digital DJ controller known as the DDJ-SX is now in the DJbooth.net lab for a full out HD-Video and written review. We've been waiting for one of these to come through ever since they have been released and now its finally here. We'll cover all of the features in the new DDJ-SX hardware as well as the new features and improvements found in the new Serato DJ Software. The unit just arrived yesterday, so the review is a couple of weeks away. For now, we'll take a quick look at the DDJ-SX in our Unboxing and First Impressions Video after the jump.

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.

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.

Serato DJ software was just announced today and with it came the announcement of its newest and first official DJ controller called the Pioneer DDJ-SX. The new Pioneer DDJ-SX looks to be one of the most professional-grade DJ controllers from Pioneer to-date with a brushed metal chassis and heavy duty appearance. The DDJ-SX will be very tightly integrated with the Serato DJ software and below each jog wheel there are (8) velocity-sensitive performance pads that can be used for Cue-points, Loop Rolls, Slicer, and the SP-6, similar to the way Vestax VCI-380 does it today with Serato ITCH. Check out the hardware breakdown and official words after the jump.

The Pioneer DDJ-S1 was released back in 2011 and was designed to work with perfectly Serato Itch. We reviewed the controller and found it to be a great DJ control surface for Serato software DJ's. Now that Serato Itch software has been replaced by Serato DJ with a better layout and new features, the DDJ-S1 owners can now reap the benefits by downloading the new firmware and Free Serato DJ upgrade to get the full use out of their controller. Check out the full press release, download links, our video review, and the new Serato DJ/DDJ-S1 performance video after the jump.
