The XDJ-RX3 is a 2-channel all-in-one DJ system. It brings together features from Pioneer DJ's CDJ-3000 multi-player and DJM-900NXS2 mixer. It has a 10.1-inch touchscreen for browsing playlists, mixing tracks and applying effects. The screen is the largest on a Pioneer DJ all-in-one system, with a high resolution and frame rate and a redesigned interface. Touching the stacked icons on the left side of the screen shows the information for each track.
Each jog wheel has a color LCD in the center that shows the playhead position and can display track artwork. Jog wheel responsiveness is improved over the XDJ-RX2, and the Feeling Adjust control sets the jog's weight. Release FX mode on the Performance Pads offers 8 effects: Vinyl Brake (Short/Long), Backspin (Short/Long), Echo Out, Build Up, Mute and Ducking. Gate Cue plays from the cue point only while a pad is held, then silently returns to the cue point.
The unit includes all XDJ-RX2 effects plus 6 more Beat FX and 2 more Sound Color FX. That gives the full range of effects from the DJM-900NXS2. It is a Hardware Unlock device, so rekordbox Performance mode can be used for free, and it supports Serato DJ Pro. In rekordbox Link Export mode, tracks play directly from a laptop as if it were a USB drive.
