Evolution. Changing times call for changing tools. That’s why Pioneer’s new multi-format player is the natural selection for the next generation of DJs. It’s been 15 years since the genesis of Pioneer’s first CDJ deck, which led to the world-beating CDJ-1000 series. Now it’s time for something completely new: The CDJ-2000
Introducing a major leap forward for the club standard CDJ series: The CDJ-2000 – Pioneer’s new professional player for the digital age. The CDJ-2000 fizzes with fresh DNA and can play music from multiple sources, including CD, DVD, USB storage devices and SD memory cards.
It also comes with the revolutionary music database management software for DJs: rekordbox™. Based on our ‘Prepare & Perform’ concept, rekordbox works (for both Mac and PC) like the leading music database management software, but is more creative and more DJ-friendly.
Rekordbox allows DJs to prepare more before their performance and opens a door to tools such as Hot Cue Banks and Quantize, for perfectly synced loops every time. DJs can then export data to a USB or SD device to access vast libraries of music files and perform live – without the need for extra equipment or any inconvenient rewiring in the club.
No need to burn CDs, simply take your USB device to the club, plug in to the CDJ and play!
Roger Sanchez gets hands on with the new CDJ-2000 and demonstrates some of its potential for looping. He also discusses the creative possibilities of its direct approach, of having all the tools right upfront and immediately accessible.
