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...

i'd say thats exactly what its for. all will be revealed tomorrow. the pioneer website has a page for it with a quick description when you search in google.. but you get a 404 error when you click on it, and there's no google cached version of it.

this may be a stupid question lol, but what's the USB on the faceplate by the mic input for?

the fx all come down to personal preference and whats comfortable for your workflow i guess.

just like anything dj releated really, whether it be controllers, or mixers, or cd players, or software, or file organisation.

yep. guys like davey dave from uberzone make the effects in a pioneer mixer look better than anything traktor has.

now if we could just get him to use traktor lol

Pretty crappy pic in the age of hi-res cameras on everything though.

Prettyy disappointing as unless it is Traktor Scratch Certified or SSL certified (unheard of).
I thought it would have had a built FX controller like the X1.

Looks like an 800 with more FX control but less than the DB4 which is not what i would call the next big thing but more of a step sideways.

Lets see eh...

the crappy picture resolution sort of lead me towards it being a photoshop, but everything does add up. personally if i were in the market for a mixer and it came down to this or the DB4 i'd def go for the a&h's dogs bollocks.

i believe this mixer will be a market test for pioneer to see how the midi fan club at the 'consumer' end of the scale will take to it.

the fanboys will buy it no matter what.

a mate of mine was that much of a tragic he had a djm-500 for about a week, then bought a 600... fwd to when the 700 came out - he bought that, then 2 days later sold that and bought an 800.. an inbetween all that had a djm 200 and borrowed my old djm 3000 for a few months too.

now he has a pmc-580

That's right pioneer, you carry on pushing your hardware effects which no one will use, and make midi controllers the size of pool tables because you above all other companies know where DJing is headed.

Big thumbs up

Massive sarcastic expression.

In other words...

i'll start of the official discussion thread before we get 101 nexus threads on the 17th..

is this the real deal leaked early... or is it photoshopped?



looks fairly legit to me.. personally i would have placed the x-y modulation pad where the fx selector channel selector etc is and placed them above.

i pulled the image from djwarehouse's facebook...

I use an ecler evo5 (that covers what you said about postfader fx returns) - no pioneer mixer will get less than a bored yawn out of me. sorry.

I would love to see a Traktor Scratch-certified mixer. Too much of my "style" is still tied into using TTs, and just as with the Rane TTM57SL (and the Sixty-Eight), there is a lot to be said for only having to cnnect one USB cable and having the soundcard built into the mixer for audio i/o. I have a feeling that additional controllers will still be needed to get the most mileage from TSP, but the simplicity of not needing to bring an audio interface because it is built into the mixer is the key value of the video (or at least what I took from the video). YMMV.

try adding a traktor delay on one channel then bring the fader up on beat and drop it out quick. Nothing happens. do the same with the pioneer fx and you have a nice effect. The pioneer mixers have a huge advantage of having post fader returns on some of the specific efx. Something that can only be accomplished with internal mixing mode in traktor.

I'm halfway excited, halfway skeptical.
On one hand, being able to plug in traktor to a pair of CDJ straight off a mixer sounds pretty sweet.
On the other, it really sounds like Pioneer are pushing what they can do to the absolute MAX without having to actually, you know, reinvent themselves.

Something breaking your game down and building something new from scratch is a good thing. That's what a great bunch of DJ's, especially around here, looks to have done by going digital.

I'd much rather see Pioneer apply their build quality and expertise to a brand new concept or line of products instead of trying to bake more bread on their now ten years old CDJ paradigm.

Pretty close to what I was believeing. But I took it a step further and though Traktor's effects were laughable to the possibilities of Ableton + Reaktor.

I'm pretty excited though, but for other DJ Buddies that will have nerdgasms over this.

nice !
lots of cheap 800's on the second hand market !

looks like they added a matrix input (there is an extra knob over the gain on the last image)
also seems to have 6 direct effects like on the 2000

"using traktor, plug straight in"
if this thing as a sound card and is traktor scratch certified, it's going to be so sweet.
plus if it could connect to the CDJs, and if you ad good HID support for the CDJ 900 and 2000 :

you come to the club, and all you have to do is plug one usb cable in the mixer, boom, instand control over 2 CDJs, + you add a kontrol X1 for effects and sample decks...

he says ableton and traktor.. not serato and traktor, just to clarify for the kids playing at home..

i believe its most definitely an 'upgraded 800' judging by the pics and the way he talks about it (the 800) already being in most clubs, and how this going to be compatible for people with traktor and ableton to be able to just plug in (with the unit's internal sound card)...

hmmm... the new club standard?

yeah looks cool but ... "which take the Pioneer ProDJ Link and rekordbox concept to the next level" ... Personally I'm not too excited about either of those concepts. I suppose I would be if I had the money to shell out for CDJ 2000s, perhaps? A new pioneer effects box alone would be cool to play with I'm sure, but I'm not sure I'd be interested in paying the premium for "rekordbox" technology.

They were just waiting to rain on NI parade. Business is Business I guess. Judging from his previous videos and just the hints they dropped it sounds like it's a new EFX unit. Could be a new Mixer/Efx combo but my bet is on a new EFX. Hopefully it's not nearly as expensive as the 1000 but knowing pioneer it'll be about 1400-1500$. Maybe that will drop the price of the older models. Thanks for the post.

Video is just 4 hours old so believe it's a new one. Typical that they throw it in today, they probably feel the heat of Traktor pro 2

never heard of it, but just watched the video. looks awesome. there arent any direct shots of it, but from the looks of the parts they show, it looks like a djm800 with an upgraded fx section, possibly an xy pad replacing the standard fx knobs and what not. sounds good from the short vid
