I'm hoping for better screens and scrolling waveforms. What else could they add? http://excessiverecordsdjshop.blogspot.com/

Vikki Jeannoel 04.09.2012 | I really hope the sync button on the new 2000s is just a rumor |

Leeanna Ayla 04.09.2012 | Anything that makes something easier automatically devalues it in the eyes of someone who learned the hard way. At least to some, I just see it as a easier way to do things and welcome progress. |
Hyman Werness 04.09.2012 | Deaf... |
Hyman Werness 04.09.2012 | Nice "dreaded" quote!! Im getting them regardless... been patiently wating and saving all summer... my issue is it puts us one step closer to having our peers question us as laptop/sync djs when the reason i was holding off was to get away from my laltop... it was a task for me being dead in 1the ear and partial in tbe other... i do use a dvs now (serato)i but dont want the screen in my setup anymore at least for the time being... |
Jessi Therkildsen 04.09.2012 | Why do people keep talking negatively about a sync button on a CDJ. I've even seen posts (elsewhere) that says if there is one it the poster would never buy another Pioneer unit. Not that I would use it (I don't play off of Rekordbox), but I don't understand how it is so bad or "dreaded". The new CDJs already allow you to dial in the BPM to 2 decimal places (using Rekordbox analyzed files), that is pretty much sync but without a button. Putting a button on there to do that wouldn't make it any more cheating than using the decimal places of tracks Rekordbox beatgridded. |
Leeanna Ayla 04.09.2012 | Everything I have seen or read about NI tells me they don't let other companies product releases dicate their choices beyond what they already have planned. I also believe they have pretty comprehensive plans going well into the future. |
Hyman Werness 04.09.2012 | I can agree with you there... i believe NI realized scrolling wav and the dreaded sync were inevitable so they had no choice but to implement advanced hid on the 900 and 2000... kinda wondering why they skipped the 850 and went for the 400 though. |

There's also nothing really in this update that can't be achieved by hooking up Traktor to an original CDJ if you're that way inclined. |
Loura Ulam 04.09.2012 | If that price is correct then they come in at |
Hyman Werness 04.09.2012 | it is the least they could do for the old ones... i agree. i wonder if the 850' 900 will drop in price marginally $50-100... in Guitar Centers mag i received last week they had PRICE TO LOW TO PRINT near the 2000... |
Makkins Clifton 04.09.2012 | I'm disappointed if they don't give the 'old' CDJ 2000 the multicolored waveform display. It's totally just a firmware-thing. The new firmware won't be that much different from the old one. EDIT: Oh, it's on the frontpage http://www.djranking s.com/2012/09/0...dj-2000-nexus/ |

Hyman Werness 04.09.2012 | I notice more than that my friend!!! notice the 2 buttons above and below the loop in and out... one of them you can clearly see slip (bottom button below loop). Also notice the Rekordbox icon at the very top where the media selection, now 5 rather than 4 buttons (link, sd, usb, and cd) is located. There is also more text located above the INFO tab and the top right where the standby lock unlock portion is... so from the video that was released... im still not seeing the mas*** button... so like i guessed, there is going to be another device as well that will soon be released... other than the cdj-2000 and 900 Nexus models and whatever mixer probly the djm 2000 that will be getting an update |
Shalon Jaranilla 04.09.2012 | Found this pic in the comments of dj worx. seems exact the same as the original 2000 expect 2 small silver buttons on the right above the pitch fader. http://kempia.kemco.or.kr/up_load/ef...7;쳐.jpg |
Leon Darlington 02.09.2012 | Here you go guys... proof from Pioneer. - Maybe they are just calling it MK2 after all http://www.pioneer.eu/be/products/44...TE2/index.html Also, the last CDJ release promo teaser looked exactly like this |
Hyman Werness 01.09.2012 | Yeah, but then i noticed the cd load slot and two red lights... just like the current 2000... |

Loura Ulam 01.09.2012 | How much does everyone believe this/it will cost? 2k each or 3k if its an all in one?? |

I believe it's supposed to go alongside the 2k, not replace it. |
Shalon Jaranilla 31.08.2012 | And the funny thing is, that denon already had a lot of these possibilities slightly touched with a lot of there players, now denon has dropped most of these functions, and made more pioneer look alike players, and now pioneer is probably integrating, FX, sample decks. multiple songs on one deck. and everybody is going to embrace it |
Rochel Gleese 31.08.2012 | I'm guessing you can load multiple songs into the CDJs at one time. So 2-4 tracks will all be playing at once synced and you'll be able to step through the tracks creating a mashup. Would definitely be revolutionary for one CDJ. Traktor has already moved into this direction with the remix decks. Don't expect these to be cheaper maybe more expensive |
Shalon Jaranilla 31.08.2012 | Well, they talking about a player and not a controller, mixer or device. My bet it's the follow up for the cdj 2000. The poster of the vid in this thread, did post this vid as his first post. in the cdj 2000 thread. Could be a pioneer guy. At the beginning of the vid they show a smile face of light. Could be the jogwheel. Maybe a new one but flatter? The whole device seems to be flatter, maybe against all odds they dumped the cd. So maybe the dawn of the new species have, taken it's fall and pioneer is going to push the dying industry of cd's over the edge They further talking about wifi functions, like the new aero. Don't believe they gonna push a device that will link that technology with the cdj 2000. Or they using the link function but i doubt that. They gonna want to have your money, so definitely new players i would say. Maybe sample decks true loop mode? Looking at the aero seems pioneer is putting up a fight with the dj software industry, and pushing rekordbox as a the main engine like windows and lion, and giving you the hardware to run it like a macbook. And why slipmode if you have no jogwheels? And there subtle campaign seems to be working, because when you read true the different community s, the laptop is getting a lesser popular device that stands between you and the crowd. And the loss of the original feeling of dj'ing, Like the subtle remark by van buuren, that it's like the old vinyl days where you could read the track, by looking at the vinyl. Wich probably means better wave forms, which already exist with all the software but know is like reinvented (like pioneer like to do even it's not their invention) by pioneer, by integrating it directly in the hardware. And a big dutch dj shop states their cdj 2000 are out of stock, and estimated to be back in december 2012? Anyhow i probably wanna have it because i'm a sucker for sentiment. |

Laurence Calisto 31.08.2012 | my money's on standalone hardware that does what ableton does for live remix purposes. there's a class of DJs who are bringing laptops into clubs running ableton and playing that way and live remixing and pioneer wants to capture that market. everything about it looked like it's a lot less oriented towards someone playing a set and a lot more oriented to someone doing controllerism. which... would be hot. but i don't believe it's a MK2 CDJ2000, all the views of it showed a conspicuous lack of jogwheels and the way they were playing it did not suggest CDJ. if they nixed the jog wheel on a 2k successor that would be game over, i'm out. i WOULD bet that an updated 2k mk2 would be announced alongside, maybe supporting some of the killer features of the new tech/aero (if you can count the wifi as a killer feature) but I don't believe what they're talking about is something intended to replace the CDJ - really, really doesn't sound like it. |
