Apparently there's a YouTube clip of James Zabiela having a bash.

(Apparently, in that I can't view).

Anyone wanna find it, post it, and provide 1080p screen caps?

Can't access YouTube from work...

In the case of Serato Scratch Live, there is actually an exclusivity agreement between Rane and Serato, and allegedly both companies are quite happy with their arrangement. Even if the Serato team wanted to work with other mixer companies, they are legally unable to. Now when it comes to Itch, on the other hand, there is no such contract, and so the Serato team is free to work with whosoever they choose, which is why there are several Itch-compatible controllers on the market from multiple manufacturers.

hmm that's quite true, doesn't happen in europe but from what I read many US clubs had started to use permanent Serato boxes in the booth. The new SL4 double-usb is intended for such an environment too.
Still, you can't just ignore pioneer mixers, no matter how things are changing. interesting times!

it's amazing, but it finally comes that even Pioneer can't create a hype on par with the last two NI releases (S4 & T2)! Up to the point that they even have to announce Traktor Certification to get attention! Now who's the new industry standard you damn blood-suckers!

Nexus for Traktoring, IMO.

still i don't see a reason why not DN-S1600 for 1/2 the price ...

Wow, I was just going to buy a djm2000...after seeing this I'm unsure what to get. While the djm2000 is good I'm believeing that these new effects on nexus would be more suited. The price difference will properly only be $400 here in australia. I know the 2000 is technically the better mixer but to be honest, I've watched many Dj Play them and not Once have I seen the Dj make use of the frequency controls for fx, or us the touch pad x fader, would you believe that my home club in Bali has had an svm1000 for the last 3 years and they have been using the 2000 for the last 6 months just because it's new. The su
Svm is just sitting to the side, disconnected. Sometimes I just Touch it, move the faders and pretend I'm mixing with it.

Just had a go on one at WestEndDJ in London (it's a sample unit, the guys in there said that they've only got it for the day/weekend) and having mixed on both Pioneer and Xone mixers I'd say it ranks pretty highly

Feels as solid as a DJM-800, the isolator setting for the EQs sound beautiful, the new colour effects sound quite nice (the old ones sound slightly improved too) and the x-pad is quite fun

I believe it's a good step for Pioneer but can see why it's gonna be hard to go up against a Kontrol S4 on features alone. Installation-wise I believe it's a good fit. Only thing that narks me is that there's only 1 ethernet port on the back, meaning if you had a 2 x CDJ setup you'd need a hub/switch to get the quantized effects...

Pio/Denon/A&H/Ecler marketing could now start saying that their mixers are now Virtual DJ & Torq 2.0 "fully supported", or even come up with a "certified" nonsense

I bet it's because of Rane/Serato as they seems to be so close minded to open up their software to third party. BUT, their software is free.

Who knows, maybe there's some hidden stuff coming for Serato too. If not, too bad.

Dear DJ,

As you probably already using the video teaser understood Pioneer today announces a new product, the DJM-900 nexus.
The DJM-900 nexus is the successor of the DJM-800 with time he will replace interim both models will remain available.
Terms of layout will give you the feel of the DJM-800, there are only some extra filters and effects.


What is the DJM-900 Nexus extra compared to the DJM-800?
The heart of the new DJM-900 is the digital audio circuit which operates at 24-bit/96kHz. This is always the best audio editing and mixing. Not only the internal signals are processed in this high quality, the built-in 4-and 4-out sound cards work on the DJM-900 24-bit/96kHz.

A USB connection allows a computer to the DJM-900 nexus linking the digital maps and thus to configure and MIDI back and forth to send software that mixes with the DJM-900 and smooth. The MIDI signal can be used to mix computer software to handle it. The DJM-900nexus Traktor is certified and geluidskaaarten the mixer can therefore move straight in tractor selected as output, can also be mixed with Traktor without using timecode discs. The connection makes in the DJ Booth DJ can change or expire without connecting the external box as usual with DVS (Digital Vinyl) systems.

To get the most out of the digital setup is to get new firmware for the CDJ-900/CDJ-2000, this will soon become available. Initially, the CDJ-2000, and next month for the CDJ-900. Subject, see the following press release.

The size of the DJM-900 is slightly different than the DJM-800, it is something deeper and wider.

Renewed Color FX, there are two filters of the DJM-800 remained (Filter and Crush), an effect of the DJM-2000 (Noise) and 3 new filters (Space Dub Echo and Gate / Comp)

Improved Beat Effect section, the Beat Effects running in sync with the audio being played, or there may now be activated Quantize. Once this feature is activated and the players ProDJ Link (via network) can be called the Beat to Beat Grid Effect linked. If the Beat Grid thus rekordbox for the tracks is well put, the effects will always remain in sync, even if the current track pitch is shifted.

X-path is a new control strip which beat effects can be temporarily activated (type 'Flash' switch), also modifies the use of the X-pad timing of the effect. Because of this very fast and new ways of using the beat effects.


ProDJ Link functionality
Nexus on the DJM-900 is a network connection to the mixer be connected through a LAN connection. By using a network switch can be a DJ Booth opgestled owrden a network with up to 4 CDJs which support and max 2 computers running rekordbox software.


New Beat Effects
- Reverb, not a new effect, but there is a very good Reverd the DJM with a tail of up to 2 minutes ...
- Spiral, Pitched echo with feedback loop.
- Slip Roll, not new, but the Slip Roll with the X-Pad will open a new box of tricks
- Melodic, side-chain sampler
- MIDI LFO, send a sweep to external MIDI musical instruments and VST's in a laptop


New Faders
There are the DJM-900 redesigned faders used. The component is obviously still a variable resistor, but the case makes this fader is at an entirely different class. The fader a lot of similarities in mechanical strength of the Cross Fader DJM-900. This carpet which is the fader button to walk on steel tubes that absorb the blows and the fader reaches its extreme position. This mixer gives a completely different feel when using the fader. Also, the VR itself at an angle of 90 degrees which put inkruipend fluid (beer) and substance directly into the fader but gets into a receptacle underneath.

Also new is the fader button, with heavy use remains in place even sit through the new P-lock system. The fader button has three parts in the correct order should be loosened to turn the knob can be replaced.


Availability and price
The DJM-900 will be available from late March 2011 and has a suggested retail price of 1.899, - inc.

For the dutch amongst us:

Some info on the DJM-900.


Beste DJ,

Zoals jullie wellicht dmv de teaser video al hebben begrepen kondigt Pioneer vandaag een nieuw product aan : de DJM-900 nexus.
De DJM-900 nexus is de opvolger van de DJM-800 die hij met de tijd zal vervangen, voorlopig zullen beide modellen leverbaar blijven.
Qua layout zal je het gevoel krijgen van de DJM-800 , er zitten alleen wat extra filters en effecten op.


Wat heeft de DJM-900 Nexus extra ten opzichte van de DJM-800?
Het hart van de nieuwe DJM-900 is het digitale audio circuit wat werkt op 24-bit/96kHz. Hierdoor wordt audio altijd op de beste manier bewerkt en gemixed. Niet alleen de interne signalen worden op deze hoge kwaliteit bewerkt, ook de ingebouwde 4-in en 4-out geluidskaarten van de DJM-900 werken op 24-bit/96kHz.

Een USB aansluiting geeft de mogelijkheid om een computer aan de DJM-900 nexus te koppelen en zo de digitale kaarten te configureren en MIDI heen-en-weer ter sturen zodat mixen met software en de DJM-900 soepel gaat. Het MIDI signaal kan gebruikt worden om computer mix software aan te sturen. De DJM-900nexus is Traktor certified en de geluidskaaarten van de mixer kunnen dus dus direct in traktor gekozen worden als output, tevens kan er met Traktor gemixed worden zonder gebruik van tijdcode discs. De maakt dat het aansluiten in de DJ-Booth of het wisselen van DJ kan verlopen zonder het aansluiten van de externe box zoals gebruikelijk bij DVS (Digital Vinyl) systemen.

Om het maximale uit de digitale setup te halen is ook nieuwe firmware nodig voor de CDJ-900/CDJ-2000, deze zal spoedig beschikbaar worden. In eerste instantie voor de CDJ-2000, en volgende maand voor de CDJ-900. Zie hierover het volgende persbericht.

De afmeting van de DJM-900 wijkt iets af van de DJM-800, hij is iets dieper en iets breder.

Vernieuwde Color FX, er zijn 2 filters van de DJM-800 gebleven (Filter en Crush), 1 effect van de DJM-2000 (Noise) en 3 nieuwe filters (Space, Dub Echo en Gate/Comp)

Verbeterde Beat Effect sectie, de Beat Effecten lopen in de maat van de audio die afgespeeld wordt, of er kan nu ook Quantize geactiveerd worden. Zodra deze functie is geactiveerd en er spelers met de ProDJ Link (d.m.v. netwerkkabel) zijn aangesloten, kunnen de Beat Effect aan de Beatgrid gekoppeld worden. Als de Beatgrid dus in Rekordbox voor de tracks is goed gezet zullen de effecten altijd in sync blijven, ook als de lopende track in pitch wordt verschoven.

X-pad is een nieuwe control strip waarmee de Beat Effecten tijdelijk kunnen worden geactiveerd (soort 'Flash' schakelaar), tevens wijzigt het gebruik van de X-Pad de timing van het effect . Hierdoor zijn hele snelle en nieuwe manieren van het gebruik van de Beat Effecten mogelijk.


ProDJ Link functionaliteit
Op de DJM-900 nexus zit 1 netwerk aansluiting om de mixer aan te sluiten via een LAN connectie. Door gebruik te maken van een Netwerk switch kan in een DJ Booth een netwerk opgestled owrden met maximaal 4 CDJs die dit ondersteunen en max 2 computers met draaiende Rekordbox software.


Nieuwe Beat Effecten
- Reverb, op zich geen nieuw effect, maar er zit wel een hele goede Reverd in de DJM met een tail van max 2 minuten...
- Spiral, Pitched echo met feedback looping.
- Slip Roll, niet nieuw, maar de Slip Roll in combinatie met de X-Pad opent een doos met nieuwe truuks
- Melodic, side-chain sampler
- MIDI LFO, send a MIDI sweep naar externe muziekinstrumenten en VST's in een laptop


Nieuwe Faders
Er worden in de DJM-900 nieuw ontworpen faders gebruikt. Het component is natuurlijk nog wel een variabele weerstand, maar de behuizing maakt dat deze fader zich in een heel andere klasse bevindt. De fader heeft grote overeenkomsten qua mechanische stevigheid met de Cross Fader van de DJM-900. Deze loper waar de Fader Knop op zit loop over stalen buisjes die ook de klappen opvangen als de fader zijn uiterste positie bereikt. Dit geeft de mixer een heel ander gevoel bij gebruik van de fader. Ook is de VR zelf onder een hoek van 90 graden gezet waardoor inkruipend vocht (bier) en stof niet direct in de fader terecht komt maar in een opvangbakje eronder.

Ook nieuw is de fader knop, bij heftig gebruik blijft deze ook op zijn plek zitten door het nieuwe P-lock systeem. De fader knop bestaat uit 3 onderdelen die in de juiste volgorde los gemaakt moeten worden om de knop te kunnen vervangen.


Beschikbaarheid en prijs
De DJM-900 zal beschikbaar worden vanaf eind maart 2011 en heeft een adviesprijs van 1.899,- incl. BTW.

I believe there is only one, but could be wrong. Although I don't really like the mixer, if it becomes the new club standard it means that there will be a Traktor certified mixer in most clubs. So no need to bring your Audio 8 and fiddle with all those RCA's. This could be the Serato box in every club, but for Traktor...

In the video you can see on top of the mixer that it has a built-in multi channel soundcard (the channel selectors have different USB audio ins). We'll have to wait if it's Traktor or Serato certified, but I'll doubt it.

Overall not that impressed. They could've better called it the DJM-850.
