The Pioneer DDJ-FLX4 is a 2-channel DJ controller for Serato DJ and rekordbox, built for beginners. It has two glossy jog wheels and eight performance pads on each deck. The body is matte, the mixer section is metallic, and bright amber orange LEDs light the key controls.
Smart Fader adjusts the track's BPM, volume, bass volume and other aspects when you move the crossfader or channel faders, so one track moves smoothly into the next. Smart CFX applies a combination of effects when you turn a knob. The control layout is inherited from professional Pioneer DJ products.
The controller mixes microphone audio with the music and sends it out over USB. A set can be streamed from a single computer, with no separate mixer or soundcard. It runs on USB bus power and is compact enough to carry for practice or performances.
