Pioneer XDJ Aero! Posted on: 09.08.2012 by Joy Rory This was just released in the Netherlands, check out this new Pioneer controller!!! http://www.xdj-aero.com WiFi, USB, Rekordbox... Sounds pretty amazing to me, and a price of only
Monique Swanier 09.08.2012	djing songs about cops all evening with this baby bad boys bad boys
Jona Slon 09.08.2012	So essentially i could buy this and use it with 2 usb sticks and play a set?
Jonathan Chiuchiolo 09.08.2012	I believe the issue with wifi is when you are not connected to a network and you have wifi on it will look for a new network every few minutes taking up valuable resources... If your connected to a network already there is no need to reconnect so you probably wont have the same issues. I'm just believeing out aloud & don't know the facts to support this I don't particularly like this but the next cdj will be something to talk about with wifi connectivity making changeovers seamless.
Nancey Inderlied 09.08.2012	It's a massive difference. It's like calling a CDJ a controller just because it has a soundcard and interface.
Bunny Sockel 09.08.2012	Originally Posted by Shishdisma *standalone media player, not just a "controller." I believe for a long time people will be misquoting it and saying that it is a controller don't get annoyed at them for it
Nancey Inderlied 09.08.2012	Originally Posted by RockingClub I was accidently creating another thread. Sorry for that. Here's what I intended to write: With Pioneer having just announced the XDJ Aero there is one more controller in the game. The XDJ Aero's key features are being a midi- and HID-controller while having integrated a two channel stand-alone mixer and the very special function of being able to stream music from your Iphone via WiFi. No cables needed. But the question is: Will any serious DJ ever make use of this function? I mean everywhere DJing is a serious business DJs normally tend to deactivate WiFi and want to be able to rely on their system. Even with physical cables there are enough sources for problems. So why to add another? While looking similar to the DDJ Ergo V in most points (a bit toyish in my opinion) the XDJ Aero is tagged with a US$1399/

Nancey Inderlied 09.08.2012	Originally Posted by Jester.NZ Probably 2K down here in volcanoville They should include a price for you in press releases. Or like on Amazon, instead of comparing the price to retail, put what you pay and call it "Lol look what Jester has to pay."
Bunny Sockel 09.08.2012	Originally Posted by Jester.NZ Probably 2K down here in volcanoville Derringers have priced it at $1300 it might be $2000 in new zealand (if thats where your from)
Latoria Kavulich 09.08.2012	Probably 2K down here in volcanoville
Bunny Sockel 09.08.2012	Originally Posted by Shishdisma Technically, theyve been the juggernaut in the media player market for years, and this is definitely a media player. One thing is, I like the Rekordbox mobile prepare and sync options, but how is this realistically going to transfer onto a 2000Mk2? This is basically the same functionality as plugging in a Rekordbox drive or SD, but now with a wireless interface vs a USB port. I believe the main highlight of this unit is the standalone USB functionality. Yeah, if you're new to Rekordbox, syncing it all to your phone could be a pretty fun way to get into it, but if you already have an RB USB, you probably won't need to touch it. It has a standard USB A port, and could definitely charge a smartphone, that's what I've been blathering on about. And why calling this a "controller" is a disservice. oh yeah the usb spot on the mixer, and don't get pissed about me calling it a controller

Bunny Sockel 09.08.2012	Originally Posted by Ash Carr It has a USB port so I don't see why you shouldn't be able to connect your device of choice to it and keep it charged. A win win situation if it's able to do that. But wouldn't it have a male A to B usb port and like most controllers do. so you can't connect your smart phone or tablet
Hipolito Scionti 09.08.2012	pioneer's been like a sleeping giant in the controller market and now they're waking up

Bunny Sockel 09.08.2012	I believe what could have helped as a back up is a connector to the iphone, ipad, samsung galaxy
Ressie Losiewicz 09.08.2012	XDJ-AERO_HERO.jpeg XDJ-AERO_TOP.jpeg I WANT ONE! I've been predicting this kind of technology for a while and I half expected it it to come from someone else such as Denon or Numark but with how much effort that Pioneer have put into the unit and software and how smooth the workflow appears to be I cannot fault it at all. Well Done Pioneer! Read my Blog for more info on the XDJ-AERO
Bertie Metro 09.08.2012	The controller itself isn't really that big of a deal imho, but where they are going with the integration is the next step, one that Native and Serato just missed the boat on. Let me explain : The more time goes by the more people have tablets and smartphones, or advanced media players ( ala ipod touch ). What Pioneer just gave us is on the go gridding and adjustment to our libraries (00:47 in the video). This is huge, this is something that has been requested or at least talked about by a lot of people. Maybe in a future release (or from the get go) we'll have cue point assignment and other capabilities ( creating fx chains for the rmx-1000 anyone ? ). All that allowing you to listen to your music, sort it, tag it and prepare it for use during our dj sets. And then you consolidate your library at home, and voila no more spending hours in front of your computer at home, you can now do it during downtime at lunch, on the buss, hell go to the park or something. Next is the wifi/wireless syncing of the music, i'd be weary to use it in a club for now (imagine someone in the crowd has the same app, could it interfere? how about the number of signal coming from all those smartphones, etc...). But i'm sure that given time and releases it's going to be a really big change to the market. Hell pioneer just saved their asses from the djing software by staying relevant with their (already in place, already in almost all big evening clubs and dj riders) overpriced cdj and djm gear . I like it !
Bunny Sockel 09.08.2012	i am surprised that it wasn't more expensive rekordbox,new technology and the pioneer logo
Nancey Inderlied 09.08.2012	Videos actually got pretty nice camera work. It looks really imposing at a grand.
Latoria Kavulich 09.08.2012	Impressive. Price
Bunny Sockel 09.08.2012	Cool video. It gives me a better idea of how all the smartphone and tablet stuff works
Bunny Sockel 09.08.2012	Originally Posted by Shishdisma Holy Christ almightly. Guys, this is a standalone unit. This thing didn't usher in new technology, this thing just potentially killed every $900-$1000 controller on the market. You know how you'd roll up to a gig with your S4 under your arm, and your laptop in your backpack? Now you don't even need the laptop... I believe it will kill off the s4. And also native instruments and other dj companys will have to bring in this wifi connectivity in their next line of controllers to keep up. i believe we will see this connectivity in the next 2000's meaning one 2000 is the hub (with a usb stick) and the other one,two or three are the slaves
Kristin Tesfamichael 09.08.2012	looks interesting. very smart for them to integrate rekordbox into the controller, really lets people organize, practice, then go play out their sets.

Joy Rory 09.08.2012	This controller is probably made for those that use cdj-2000's in clubs and need a less expensive solutiom for home-djing. The wifi makes the aero a great tool for drive in shows and small partys.
Celine Surico 09.08.2012	Yes I would not use Wifi for gigs but then again it's intended for bedroom DJs to push their content to smart phones and so on. Interesting but expensive bedroom/semi-pro DJ system.
Nancey Inderlied 09.08.2012	Originally Posted by MYE Yeah pioneer are going backwards they need to start making more robust and solid controller's that look professional not controllers that have gimmicky things like wifi and flashy lights...... and the knobs and faders don't look very solid I like how you can judge a piece of gear's quality, reliability, and feel, based entirely off of a picture. Do you have some kind of super 3D monitor that let's you touch it? The Ergo is one of the most solid controllers on the market, just because it has rounded edges, doesn't mean it's a "toy."

My gut feeling is the next CDJ update will NOT include cd players and this kind of interface is gonna pave the way. Sure it may look a small bit Toyish (so do CDJ350's and 400's), but consider for a moment - its a completely standalone device at almost the same price as some of the other pricier midi-only controllers out there (vestax/numark). It Features (from my understanding) a real mixer, sound card, wifi streaming, media player and the most cost effective rekordbox setup you are gonna get in an extremely compact party size package and thats just touching on the good points!. Only thing I really dislike is the displays though which look like they got pulled from the Gemini's rejects line. In saying that even if I were touring and needed something reckordbox compatible to fuck around with in my hotel room I'd snap one up. Dont forget you don't have to use the wi-fi function and my gut says this is some kinda bridge they are working on to make DJ swap overs seamless - no cables to start plugging in or out, just find wifi, hit button and sync your next track with ipad/phone or whatever. If the Machinery could handle a full track in a buffer (of higher end units), the reliability issue of wifi would be zero anyhow.
Ming Devis 09.08.2012	I don't get who they are marketing towards with this.. Using wifi would be unreliable and €999 is crazy. If it was cheap it would be a fun unit for playing around at home with friends.
