Keep The Crowd In The Palm Of Your Hand With The New Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX6 Controller

If you’ve ever admired the power an awesome DJ has to control a party’s mood, then this is some very good news. Pioneer have brought out a new controller with all the gear you need – plus some really clever new features that replicate the skills most DJs spend years perfecting – for you to use at the press of a button or spin of a wheel. The brand new Pioneer DDJ-FLX6 makes you sound – and look – like a pro, can fast track your skills from good to awesome – and comes at an affordable price too. 

Ideal for both beginners and those ready to step up to the greater options 4-channels can bring, the Pioneer DDJ-FLX6 makes it easy to mix tracks from totally different musical genres, spice up your sets with realistic scratch effects and transition like a pro. Plus, it even comes with DJ software to boot.

 

rekordbox vs Serato

Are you a rekordbox or Serato DJ? Relax! Whichever answer you gave is correct, because you can use both programs with this unit. So, if you’ve been using one, this is the ideal opportunity to try out the other to broaden your skills. This controller acts as a hardware unlock device for rekordbox and it unlocks the DJ performance functions in Serato DJ Pro too, so you can choose which software app you want to run for free on your laptop, then simply plug in your DDJ-FLX6 and start DJing!

 

Jog Wheels and Cutting Mode

The first thing you notice when looking at this unit are the two gorgeous jog wheels. Not only do they look cool however, they also feel great to use with a nice weight and moveability. Use these for pitch bending and scratching, while the on jog display lets you know where you are with the playhead. 

Cutting Mode
If you weren’t a scratch DJ before, it’s likely you’ll become one with this feature as the Jog Cutter mode lets you make a range of real pro-sounding scratching effects that not only sound realistic but they’re a lot easier to make than the real thing. Just hit the mode button and you can access ten different pre-loaded effects which you can switch between simply by spinning the jog wheel to point to the sound you want. You don’t even need to use the cross-fader – although there’s still one on the unit. Just remember, your scratching should accent the music, not dominate it!

 

All New Pioneer MergeFX 

Now this brand new feature is beyond cool and can really give off the impression that you are at the top of your game, as it delivers macros of a series of old school DJ manoeuvres. At the top right of each deck is the MergeFX dial with inset button; use this between – or even during – tracks to smooth over the cracks between wildly different music styles. MergeFX works by utilising pre-loaded, or self-loaded, effects that can act as attention-grabbing transitions. A simple twist of the MergeFX knob even allows you to alter these transitions in a variety of ways, making them part of the performance too. 

Also on the unit itself are 4 channel mixers plus 16 performance pads, 8 on each deck. The DDJ-FLX6 has been designed to be ultra portable so there’s a focus on software-based inputs rather than old school external plug-ins. This has the benefit of keeping the controller as simple as possible, and easier to use as well. A solid unit containing everything both beginner and intermediate DJs could ever need, the Pioneer DDJ-FLX6 also unveils some innovative new features bound to become standard in the years to come. Get one now and let your transformation into a dance party lord begin!
