Pioneer bridges the gap between computer jocks and CD Jocks with the new CDJ-400 digital turntable
November 2007

Pioneer Corporation, the leader in Pro DJ products and the innovator of the CD turntable, unveiled the latest addition to its family of CD turntables, the CDJ-400.  The CDJ-400 combines a sampling of features found in the different levels of Pioneer's CDJ series with the simplicity of a standard CD turntable, including USB1 integration and MP3 playback, MIDI support, scratching capability, scratch jog effect and a variety of looping functions.

The CDJ-400 is packed with features that are ideal for different levels of DJs, from the 'newbies' to the professional DJs who want to better manipulate their DJ computer software."

USB Integration and MP3 Playback
The CDJ-400's cosmetic design is simple and compact yet elegant with all of its various controls and features located directly on top of the unit.  A USB port found on the face of the player allows DJs to play their MP3 music collection from a wide variety of portable music devices such as thumb drives, MP3 players or external hard drives. With the use of a multi-function selector knob/button and its large, bright, dot-matrix LCD display, locating and accessing of files from these types of music devices as well as MP3 music files on CD and CD-R/RW through the CD slot are done with a turn and press of the knob.

DJ Software Compatibility and MIDI Control
With more of today's DJs utilizing different DJ software for their performances, the CDJ-400 is also equipped with a PC mode.  In this mode, the CDJ-400 is a native controller for software such as Pioneer DJS2 computer software and SERATO(R) Scratch LIVE3.  For example, the movement of the pitch slider on the CDJ-400 can control the pitch slider on the computer software and no timecode CD is required for audio control.  The player can also act as a MIDI controller where the user can assign virtually every button on the player to trigger functions of various DJ software programs.

World's First Scratch Jog Effect
A highlight and an advancement of the CDJ-400 is its scratching capability.  In addition to traditional "vinyl" mode scratching, Pioneer implemented the World's First Scratch Jog Effect.  Three highlighted buttons, each assigned to a special effect, Bubble, Trans and Wah, creates unique scratching sound effects that can be enabled by the DJ on the fly.  A "hold" button was also added to retain the different effects throughout the session or until its release, which can also be triggered at any point of play.
Additional features in the CDJ-400 include:

    * Digital Loop functions:  A variety of loops can be created for additional audio effects
          o Beat Loop:  Automatically creates four beat loop based on the beats per minute (BPM) of music currently being played
          o Loop Divide:  Rhythmically divides the loop in halves to create different patterns
          o Hot Loop:  Restarts the loop seamlessly from its entry without interruption of the music
    * Digital Jog Break:  In CD mode the CDJ-400 contains three effects, Jet, Roll and Wah, which further enhances the audio by simply rotating the jog dial.  The same buttons for the Scratch Jog Effect are assigned to the Digital Jog Break which are accessible at any point of play
    * Tempo Control:  Four tempo modes, ±6%, ±10%, ±16% and WIDE4, provide additional speed control with a resolution of 0.02% in the 6% range
    * Cue/Loop Points: Up to 10 cue/loop points per disc, for up to 920 discs can be stored in memory
    * Jog Indicator: A break in the red halo illumination around the jog wheel provides instantaneous feedback to the DJ
    * Customizable Jog Wheel:  The top of the jog wheel can be removed enabling the user to add their own customized image
    * Digital Output: A digital output is available for a direct connection for clearer sound to a connected mixer
    * Resume Function:  The function takes effect if a CD is ejected accidentally. Once the DJ re-inserts the disc, it automatically starts playing from exactly the point where it stopped

The CDJ-400 will be available in Beginning 2008.

Speed - I'd get the 400s if I were you. Seems to have lots of features, is newer and cheaper too than the 1000s. For some reason the 800s never looked good to me either, and they're probably only industry standard in Malaysia - elsewhere its either 1000Mk3 or DVJ1000s soon to take over as the industry standard. Any idea when those are available locally or are they already available in KL (usual 2 month wait I suppose).

Redbustop - under RM1k IIRC. Have you considered other brands? AKG, Beyer,etc? Whatever it is, won't be mpre than RM2k anyways. If you can, keep a spare in case.

I use AKG K240 Studio headphones or Xone XD-53s for now. I've never had a high end Sennheiser so I can't recommend but Pioneer I've listenened to and  they're something I would give a try if I needed a new pair.

Tell you what - tomorrow I'm supposed to pick up my second EFX1000 so I'll find out the price for the Pioneers. No promises cause they can't confirm if it'll arrive tomorrow or not and I won't be suprised either since the first one I ordered took 2 months.

latest price for the Pioneer dj gear series...

Red/Speed - I think resellers are cheaper, especially if you have contacts I suppose as Pioneer would sell at recommended retail price while resellers get at a wholesale price and then I guess they can discount but it would be eating into their margin - correct me if I'm wrong.

All my Pioneer gear came from resellers, deposit today and pick-up following work day. Some deliver some don't and prices differ like for the EFX1000 had a RM200 difference in price but both had to come from Japan.
