Closer Look at Pioneer’s DDJ-SP1, DJM-SRT [Videos]

By now, most of our readers have learned that Serato is slimming down their software options and building all functions (including DVS) into Serato DJ. But the announcement coincided with three new products that launched with Serato DJ support – and we’ve got videos of each from the product manufacturers.

DDJ-SP1

Manufacturer: Pioneer
Class: Add-On Controller
Release Date: October 2013
Price: 
$499 MSRP

DJM-900SRT Serato DJ Edition

Manufacturer: Pioneer
Class: Mixer
Release Date: October 2013
Price: 
$2,799 MSRP

We’ll naturally be interested to see what the Traktor TSI mapping for the SP1 looks like – it’s a bit of a different-feeling controller from NI’s Kontrol X1 MK2.

  • boring

    will the sp1 alone be sufficient to dj?

  • bartykutz

    no dedicated HP/LP filter per channel, only 1 USB…pioneer has nothing on RANE

  • Bulge

    SP1 looks nice, but that price is pretty crazy. I thought the SSX was surprising cheap. They went the other way with this. Judging by that, the AU price won’t be much less than a VCI-380, and you aren’t getting platters, a mixer or a soundcard. Yeeouch.

  • iddison68

    Incidently I know that this is not true in every case….its just a current social observation.

  • iddison68

    The Rane 6fo is a genuine hardcore battle mixer and is the choice of the true street all day long sorry Pioneer but you are the choice of the homo house boys and probably always will be…may God have mercy on our souls!

    • Mike McGarrity

      Homo house boys. How very open minded of you. If you don’t mind me saying, you seem to be a bit of a prick.

      • iddison68

        Probably……no offence though!

  • Snert

    Two things that will make me purchase the Rane 64 over the Pioneer. First is the price difference and second is the fact that the Pioneer does not have 2 usb ports. Having 2 usb ports is HUGE and almost a must in todays Dj’s industry.

  • elry

    500 bucks for a midi controller???

  • DjSlim

    “The DDJ SP1 can fully integrate with any serato system”, does that mean it
    works also with serato scratch live? Although I know not all features
    will be operating…
    As I understand it’s midi mappable?

  • DJ PC3

    I use both Serato (video gigs) and Traktor (audio only gigs) equally gig to gig… but between the new mixer and the midi-controller, Serato is really trying to win me back as a Serato only DJ.

    With almost ever club in Chicago having Rane mixers or permanent SL boxes, it would be really more convenient to only use Serato.

    And now Serato has decent effects, with Soft Sync (which I admit I use for quick mix routines)… Serato is seeming more and more attractive (though Im not a fan of either Rane or Pioneer Mixers).

    Traktor REALLY needs video to compete (in my eyes). . .

    • Spencer "Thunderball" Thayer

      As a Chicago DJ I too am seriously considering going full blown Serato when this comes out. Traktor just doesn’t exist in this city. Most clubs and studios don’t even have a DJM900 still rocking that 800.

      Do we know if this Pioneer can also be used by Traktor? That would kill it.

    • Eloy Garcia

      Traktor REALLY needs video to compete (in my eyes). . . <— I am down with that 100%

    • Daggetrs

      You can use a serato soundcard as a traktor sound card, as long as it’s not an sl1

  • tr4gik

    2800 are u out of your fckin minds Pioneer????? Jeeeez

    • Keeb

      Should be lower than that when it comes to street price and considering an SL4 is 900 bucks still… not surprised.

    • Tosh

      relax m8 it haz blu lites yea 😛

  • Dave Sk

    That’s Bogue Can’t they make one FUCKING MIXER!!!! So what happens when two Dj’s play back to back your gonna have two Pioneers on DECK?

  • pxlbrk

    I like the matte finish of the DJM-900SRT but can you use it with Traktor??

    I notice in the documentation there’s a peak limiter inside this mixer..does the nexus has that feature too??

    Still interested if they improved the sound quality since the Nexus was just ok and sounded mediocre when using the mixer as a soundcard.

    Looking forward to hear from you guys.

    • Sykes

      Video says that it’s completely MIDI mappable. It will also ship with a .tsi file for Traktor.
