Pioneer CDJ900 DJ Multi Player


Adapting to today’s variety of media formats, the Pioneer CDJ900 DJ Multi Player enables playback of MP3, AAC, WAV and AIFF audio files from CDs and USB memory devices.  A USB port located on top of the turntable enables users to quickly connect an external storage device such as a Tonium Pacemaker or a hard drive packed with music files, minimizing the need to bring a laptop computer to performances.

The CDJ900 turntable includes rekordbox, Pioneer’s proprietary music management software that organizes and catalogs a DJ’s entire music library.  When music files are imported to rekordbox, the software analyzes each file and prepares them for use specifi cally with the new CDJ turntable. Keyelements of Pioneer’s rekordbox software:
-Analyze
  -Beats Per Minute (BPM) Data – BPM / Tempo information for each song is identifi ed and processed into rekordbox for use by the DJ in
    preparing and performing a set.
  -Waveform Data – The waveform of each song is identifi ed and then displayed on the bottom screen for quick data visualization.
-Customize
  -Tag Info & Artwork – Edit and customize the file information to performance needs.
  -Hot Cues, Cue Points, and Loops – Prepare and customize cues and loops as well as create and manage hot cue banks.
  -Playlists – Create, edit and manage customized playlists for various performances.
  -Beatgrid – Utilizing the new Quantizing feature, cue points and loops can be set perfectly on-beat. The Quantize feature ensures cue
    points are set accurately and automatically, correcting and synching beats during manual looping or a real-time cueing, preventing off
    beat mistakes.

Users can then transfer analyzed music files to their preferred storage media and play them directly from the new CDJ turntable. The software offers songinformation that can be viewed easily during performances on the CDJ’s large display to quickly search and access content by genre, title, BPM, etc. Also, as analyzed tracks are played through the CDJ product, the turntable automatically creates and saves a play history enabling users to review past performances on their PCs.

The Pioneer CDJ900 DJ Multi Player features Pioneer’s Pro DJ Link that enables up to four CDJ900s or 2000s to be connected via the Link Port to share a single music source, whether it is a hard drive, USB and/or SD memory card. Once linked, users have the ability to quickly fi nd, display and choose the music file from a connected source through the CDJ’s built-in display and control knobs. A quick turn of the knob lets users scroll through created files and folders and a push of the knob confi rms the song choice.

The CDJ900 features a 24-bit/48 kHz sound card and HID and MIDI control compatibility via USB port. Up to 35 controls on the surface of each player can be used to trigger other devices, such as DJ effecters and software by way of HID and/or MIDI. The HID controls were implemented into the player for superior interfacing with software, faster communication speed over MIDI, audio/visual streaming and two-way information on the display. HID enables easy, precise and native control of DVS systems such as Serato Scratch Live, Native Instruments’ Traktor series and MixVibes Cross2 without the need for time-coded discs.

Pioneer CDJ900 DJ Multi Player Enhancements
-Slip Mode
  -When activated, Slip Mode silently continues song playback during a loop, reverse or scratch and continues audible playback at the
    exact time when the loop, reverse or scratch is ended creating smoother transitions.
-Advanced Auto Beat Loop
  -The CDJ900 generates a four-beat loop at a touch of a button creating a customized sound to provide more time for DJs to blend in
    transitioning music.

For more accurate tempo control while mixing, the player is enhanced with increased frame increments of 0.5 frames that allow the DJ to set a cue point or loop point with more precision. To achieve the highest sound quality, the Pioneer CDJ900 DJ Multi Player was equipped with the audio industry’s highly respected Wolfson DAC processor, delivering a very transparent, accurate audio signal resulting in a highly improved signal-to noise ratio and increased headroom.
