CDJ 2000nexus…. CDJ or Controller???

I still cannot determine what it gives me more than a good midi controller and I am sure the waveforms on my MBP 15” are still bigger than on that display… (parallel waveforms ftw) and the jog is still the same loud thing as always. I cannot see where the big innovation is, wireless? I do not trust wireless in a club with 400 iPhones….

Yes it does… Now anyone with an apple/android tablet or smartphone can manage their library anywhere and connect straight into the cdj. Pioneer are setting a new standard that everyone will follow as clubs will get these in their arsenal soon enough. These give all the best bits of software to everyone and make it accessible to any dj who will come into contact with them. The best thing is you can sort your library on the train or on your sofa using their app… I have a windows tablet to do the same for VDJ but it is a hassle to transfer across between the tablet and my laptop, this looks simple! Not a fan of the waveforms and sync but the connectivity is spot on!

synthet1c: While all this might hold true in theory, that sorta implies that “everybody” -as you put it- also uses a Pioneer setup and Rekordbox software at home. And neither do I see me buying those big and pricy CDJs, nor do I wanna use Rekordbox, when it can’t do anything I can’t do better between iTunes and Traktor. So for all of us who prefer a digital setup of whatever kind at home (less expensive, takes up less space, lets you do MORE than a several thousands of dollars full Pioneer setup) when you show up at the venue, neither your hardware workflow nor your prepped tracks (in other software) translate to the CDJs.

fair enough that most people won’t buy a set, but every club in the world will because pioneer have made the more advanced technology accessible to anyone “atleast in the preparation stages which are becoming ever increasingly more important as people fail to learn to beatmatch”.

The thing that most interests me is the laptop connectivity and whether or not these things send midi/HID over wifi as I like you wouldn’t want to give up my software, but would love to be able to use the players as controllers and be able to connect easily. I haven’t read anything confirming or denying it though.
