Leota Dolney 03.05.2013	Originally Posted by Jane Wow - been waiting so long for this and been doing searches almost daily for weeks now. Never thought there'd be CD slots on there!! Very interesting - loved the AERO and the mixer especially, but those lack of hotcues were just the clincher for me in not getting one. Very excited if theres a Send/Return for the RMX too Ditto that. Aero + hot cues & Send/Return = Win for me.
Leota Dolney 03.05.2013	Originally Posted by Toast Xdj-r1 Attachment 17301 Attachment 17302 Attachment 17303 Nice find!!! So. It looks like an XDJ Aero with Hotcues and slots to play actual CDs. To be honest, the CD part is less of an interest to me, but the hot cues are definitely interesting.
Kandra Fagler 04.03.2013	Originally Posted by ill favoured look Well concerning hot cue's on the XDJ-AERO! One should perhaps wait to coff up the money if hotcue's is a dealsealer for you. Pioneer is going to release a new controller ( Yes i called it a controller ) called XDJ-R1. if you read the pdf manual to Rekordbox (here: http://pioneerdj.com/support/files/DRI1001R.pdf , scroll down to page 3.) you get a hint of what is to come. There is virtualy no other info to go on but the Pioneer Rekordbox Pdf folder clearly states it's coming. So take Namnlös.jpgthe info for what it is. i wanna see leaked pics hahaha

Ashanti Andreacchio 28.08.2012	Originally Posted by DJZILCH thanks! eh its all sorted now, unfortunately i tried to fix a lot of the tracks and the ones that i fixed are slightly off TO THE RIGHT (opposite of before). Daaaang! anyway there are 1/2/3/4 buttons underneath the fx buttons, i read somewhere that hotcues would be available after a firmware upgrade, i forgot where i read it tho I sure hope so I can't go away from hotcues now after using Traktor as main DJ source for a long time. I also believe samples in the way they are included now is pointless. When I first saw the device I thought the 4 samples would be trigered by the 1234 buttons, so you could play them on top of a song in same deck. would be way more usefull to me if say you press the sample select button and the 1234 buttons become hotcue button. I realy hope this will be posible in a firmeware update.

Alfredo Tooher 02.05.2013	2 features I would love and I am in 1. no file limit like the Aero, it has a 10,000 file limit, not good for mobile dj's 2. Same feature as aero where you can search a plugged in USB drive from your iPad connected wirelessly
Ashanti Andreacchio 02.05.2013	looks like someone(me) needs to start saveing money again But I could do fine without cd drives and if only that RMX1000 in the background is connected as send/return
Alfredo Tooher 02.05.2013	any details? no ethernet port = fail if that's truly a wireless only piece

Nancey Inderlied 16.09.2012	IIRC, it actually does have some kind of cue memory.
Random X 16.09.2012	I had the chance to play around with one on thursday. It wasn't actually not that bad. The jogs were better than the CDJ400 jogs, and the mixer part had a nice solid feel. All the features are quite well done if you ask me. I am more of a traditional DJ, so for me the need for Hot Cues is not that high.
Cira Ditz 16.09.2012	Me too D-Kem - was all set to buy one but when went into try one and became apparent there was no hotcues reluctantly decided to leave it (use them an awful lot during a evening in traktor) Hope they also get those in and maybe make it poss to see the wave form on the app (as it is pretty undewhelming display as you mentioned too) - but yep, still everything else is perfect for me so hoping they do get included in an update soon.
Lauretta Ehrhorn 17.09.2012	Was gonna shell out on this but lack of hotcues has cooled my enthusiasm. Will be watching firmware updates with interest. The display screens are underwhelming too.
Cira Ditz 29.08.2012	With regards to the cue points - I downloaded the iphone app last evening to try out and it's pretty good, and there's the ABC three cuepoints on there. Tbh I don't do much cuepoint juggling, more to have various points I prefer to load in a track depending on how I'm mixing things. So if the ABCs are usable with the AERO on the fly then I'm pretty much sold on one. And if there is a firmware update for the sample buttons (tbh am more likely to use my RMX1000 for sample hits) then even better.

Jerica Salava 28.08.2012	Originally Posted by DJ Bob It is rekordbox compatible. It just doesn't have hotcues but then no other pioneer player apart from the cdj 2000 does. there are no hardware buttons on the Aero so i'm not sure what can be 'fixed'... weird that they left out the hot cues. Maybe in the XDJ-2000. >
Loura Ulam 29.08.2012	there are no hardware buttons on the Aero so i'm not sure what can be 'fixed'... There are four buttons that could be available that are the fx buttons though i don't know if they will add the use of hot cues/loops to the aero. What i haven't seen yet on the vids are the waveforms shown on the phones when the track is loaded. Surely when a track is being played you can view the waveform?
Amira Gotcher 29.08.2012	Originally Posted by loverocket what? I thought that it was Rekordbox compatible??? I am sure they will fix this soon. It is rekordbox compatible.

Jerica Salava 28.08.2012	Originally Posted by brichi cool video FINALLY, u can plug in a usb drive but use the iPad or phone to control it all, even using the scroll knob on the player controls the iPad for browsing, pretty sick. watch this video but start at about 12 minutes in, thats where he gets into it, hopefully added to future cdj2000 at 16:31 it has SYNC. I heard that there was no SYNC with Pioneer and Rekordbox ? WTF? This is a great feature for looping etc. >
Jerica Salava 28.08.2012	Originally Posted by brichi for me, not being able to use my saved hot starts or cue points from RB on the Aero is a big fail, I will not be purchasing, oh well, will wait till they incorporate the wireless control into a CDJ2000 type unit what? I thought that it was Rekordbox compatible??? I am sure they will fix this soon.
Jonathan Chiuchiolo 28.08.2012	the magic of usb is you would have the controller's soundcard connected to the computer... The unit only communicates HID/midi over usb, wifi is reserved for record box from what I have read from poineers press releases. Hopefully they make wireless HID/midi with a future update as that is where the real benefit would for professionals wanting to have the power of a laptop to run their show.
Cira Ditz 28.08.2012	Originally Posted by brichi for me, not being able to use my saved hot starts or cue points from RB on the Aero is a big fail, I will not be purchasing, oh well, will wait till they incorporate the wireless control into a CDJ2000 type unit yes, for me as a Traktor/S4 user who's moving onto Pioneer gear soonish, this is the main drawback for me. Just wondering, this unit can work as a midi controller with Traktor. I've never used an X1 before, but does anyone know if they'd work together and be able to manipulate the cue points/traktor fx etc, or should I just save for 2000's (or whatever new high end decks they may be about to also bring out) ? Also if the Aero is used with Traktor, would the sound be coming only from my laptop (so would I need an extra soundcard) or does it get routed through the Aero. I've not been able to find that info yet so if anyone knows that'd be handy.

Amira Gotcher 27.08.2012	Originally Posted by DJZILCH the only thing that bothers me is rekordbox itself, its so unstable! first, after updating to 1.6.2 it shifted ALL my beatgrids slightly to the left (why? anyone else experience this too?) it's something to do with LAME encoded mp3's i believe. open the preferences in 1.6.2 and check the bottom two boxes, it fixes your issue...
Alfredo Tooher 27.08.2012	cool video FINALLY, u can plug in a usb drive but use the iPad or phone to control it all, even using the scroll knob on the player controls the iPad for browsing, pretty sick. watch this video but start at about 12 minutes in, thats where he gets into it, hopefully added to future cdj2000
Mimi Mahaffee 26.08.2012	I believe some people will appreciate to have the xdj aero as a backup, for bar/friends/small gigs. It's nice to have something small and portable which you can play from just using your rekordbox USB. When you play at the clubs you use their gear with rekordbox USBs. I believe this will appeal to alot of people that doesnt have similar gear at home or place for cdjs and 4 channel mixer. Also I believe the focus on the WiFi feature is too big, it's just a "bonus" but for sure with great potential. The real big news is that its standalone, play direct from usb stick and with a nice record feature which will appeal to people who want to get in to the club scene. For those who already are there and perhaps have 4 channel mixer with tt's this might be what they are looking for when they don't want to lug their gear to gigs where there is no gear installed.
Freida Leash 26.08.2012	I really don't believe except for mobile djs this has much appeal. I would love to play a wedding or sweet 16 on this gear, there is less to drag around, stream from my tablet with the phone acting as a router. I would rather have solid DJ software and more buttons to DJ a set of dance music. I haven't seen an all in one unit yet that really truly fits the bill of computer, controller and software, although this probably comes closest.
Mimi Mahaffee 25.08.2012	i have not experienced the problems you have zilch, my only problem with rekordbox is that its operating time is slow.
Kandra Fagler 25.08.2012	the more i look at this the more i want it, the whole concept of "no laptop" djing again seems really fun again the only thing that bothers me is rekordbox itself, its so unstable! first, after updating to 1.6.2 it shifted ALL my beatgrids slightly to the left (why? anyone else experience this too?) and on OSX Lion 10.7.4 sometimes when i try to open rekordbox it would crash
Alfredo Tooher 25.08.2012	awesome! thank you!!
Mimi Mahaffee 25.08.2012	yeah, just did with my ipad. will make a video and upload on youtube tomorrow
Alfredo Tooher 25.08.2012	Originally Posted by M.Beijer plugged in usb with rekordbox files, xdj aero read it quickly without hassle. the screen is sort of small, you see 3 songs when you scroll through your library. according to the manual, once you plug in a usb drive you can then hook up your iPhone/droid so it will simply display all the usb's files and playlists so you can actually search and scroll from the phone and drop tracks to the decks even though all the files exist on the usb drive and not the phones, for me, thats a great feature, turns the Aero's tiny screen into an iPhone or iPads sized screen. Can you test this and let us know how it works, maybe shoot some vide from the manual: Loading tracks from mobile devices or computers via wireless LAN 1 Connect the mobile device or computer to this unit via wireless LAN. 2 Launch rekordbox on the mobile device or computer and establish the link. 3 Operate rekordbox on the mobile device or computer to select the track. 4 Operate rekordbox on the mobile device or computer to select the deck on which the track is to be loaded, then tap or click.
Rolanda Clodfelder 25.08.2012	Originally Posted by M.Beijer ok guys, pioneer sent me a unit, got it yesterday and tried it out. I believe they sent the unit to the wrong address .. I'll send you mine so we can get this little matter cleared up
Mimi Mahaffee 25.08.2012	ok guys, pioneer sent me a unit, got it yesterday and tried it out. first impressions after 20min of use is; feels sturdy, the finnish is nice(no fingerprints like the mixer section s4) wireless functions work very well plugged in usb with rekordbox files, xdj aero read it quickly without hassle. the screen is sort of small, you see 3 songs when you scroll through your library. mixer section feels like a djm 350. hard plastic knobs with nice restiance. up-faders were smooth with good resistance aswell. I was impressed by the jogs, they really feel solid, although not as nice to grab as the cdjs rubberlike material on the side. will be back with more info later, now om off to work!
Hipolito Scionti 24.08.2012	Originally Posted by deevey You mean like coverflow for itunes ? ... yes and no .. Yes you can scroll through the tracklist with Artwork No you cant flick a recordcrate like itunes coverflow I was hoping for that too :P Nice one for checkin. Real shame... that's basically all i want from life is iPad with cover art flicking and loading.
