Pioneer CDJ2000 Professional DJ Multi Player

Adapting to today’s variety of media formats, the Pioneer CDJ2000 Professional DJ Multi Player enables playback of MP3, AAC, WAV and AIFF audio files from CDs and USB memory devices, and from DVDs and SD cards as well on the CDJ2000. 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 CDJ2000 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 specifically with the new CDJ turntable. Key elements 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 and for
    use with the needle search function on the CDJ2000 turntable.
-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 CDJ2000. 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 CDJ2000 Professional DJ Multi Player features Pioneer’s Pro DJ Link that enables up to four CDJ2000s or 900s to be connected via the Link Port to share a single musicsource, 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 CDJ2000 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 the 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 CDJ2000 Professional DJ Multi Player Enhancements
-LCD panel and Graphic User Interface
  -Large WQVGA 6.1-inch full-color 480 x 234 LCD panel for displaying song titles and jacket art as well as detailed track information so DJs
    can select songs at a glance. The wave data of each song is also illustrated on screen, showing high and low amplitude to further assist
    DJs.
-Needle Search
  -Helps DJs instantaneously get to a specifi c part of a song with a simple touch of the Needle Search pad. Found directly below the
    DJ2000’s high resolution LCD panel, the touchpad lets the DJ “place the needle” and jump quickly to a specifi c part of a music track.
-Jog Dial
  -Adjustments for tension were enhanced from previous models allowing the DJ to further customize the feel of the jog dial from a light to
    heavy sensitivity. Four illuminated areas on the sides of the Jog Dial aid the DJ in fi nding the desired spot on the plate in dim lighting
    environments.

For more accurate tempo control while mixing, the Pioneer CDJ2000 Professional DJ Multi Player is enhanced with increased frame increments of 0.5 frames that allow the DJ to set a cuepoint or loop point with more precision. To achieve the highest sound quality, the CDJ2000 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-tonoise ratio and increased headroom.
