DDJ-XP1 DJ Controller for rekordbox dj and dvs

This add-on controller for Pioneer's rekordbox dj and rekordbox dvs platforms adds another layer of creativity for the modern digital DJ. Adding the DDJ-XP1 to your setup opens new possibilities for your performances, whether you use media players, CDJs or DVS via turntables and control vinyl.

With 32 multicolored performance pads, the DDJ-XP1 is designed to help you craft unique sets and get the most out of the latest features in the updated versions of the rekordbox dj and rekordbox dvs Plus Packs. The Pioneer DDJ-XP1 lets you create your own customized interface with intuitive, tactile control over hot cues, pad effects, beat jump, sampler, beat loop and key shift modes.

Housed in a robust chassis with a non-slip rubber surface, the intuitive layout of the DDJ-XP1 allows you to maximize your use of the features in the updated versions of rekordbox dj and rekordbox dvs. Use the upper section to control key and beat sync status, and to select tracks. Use the lower section to trigger the 32 tactile multi-colored Performance Pads—which boast the lowest latency of any DJ controller—even after repeated intense use. Dynamically control your chosen combination of FX by touching the Slide FX strips on either deck and moving your finger up and down, without needing to switch the selected FX on or off.

Intuitive Control of Key Shift
Mix any combination of tracks in perfect harmony by shifting their keys up or down. Key Sync automatically changes the key of your next track to match the master deck. You can reset keys at any time by pressing Key Reset.

Keyboard Control
Select a Hot Cue or create a new one, then use the 15 other pads on that deck to trigger it in different semitones. You can use this feature to improvise with sounds and create musical phrases as if you were playing on the keyboard of a synthesizer or another instrument. 

Pad Editor
Customize the arrangement of the 32 Performance Pads by assigning not only your favorite pad modes, but also features, to each pad. For example, you could assign the top eight DDJ-XP1 pads to each deck in rekordbox dj for Hot Cues, using the rest for the Sampler feature. 

Silent Cue
When using rekordbox dvs with turntables, switch on Silent Cue and the music will restart instantly and at the correct BPM when you press play on a stopped deck. This avoids the sound of the music speeding up as the turntable starts to revolve. You can choose a Hot Cue then hit play on the deck and it will sound the same as hitting a Cue on a multi-player.

Bundled Licences for rekordbox dj and rekordbox dvs
Play tracks from your PC/Mac as soon as you unbox the DDJ-XP1, which comes with free license keys for Pioneer's professional DJ performance application, rekordbox dj and the rekordbox dvs Plus Pack. With these programs you can control your digital music using multi-players or analog turntables and the dedicated control vinyl (available separately).
