Pioneer DJ XDJ-RX3 All In One Dj System

DJs and performers looking for the next evolution of a standalone controller will be impressed with the Pioneer DJ XDJ-RX3, an all-in-one DJ system compatible with the rekordbox and Serato DJ software and features two integrated USB-driven players and a 2-channel mixer with a control-panel layout borrowed from the CDJ-3000 and DJM-900NXS2 series.

The XDJ-RX3 features a 10.1" touchscreen and delivers a high-resolution 1280:800 (WXGA), increased frame rate, fresh GUI design, and a host of new features for easy navigation, quick browsing, and accurate mixing. The system’s new screen also shortens track scrolling time as the browse section features 12 tracks instead of 8. Each deck includes a touch-sensitive jog wheel with integrated graphic display, eight multicolor performance pads, four pad modes (Hot Cue, Beat Loop, Slip Loop, and Beat Jump), and a long form tempo slider capable of ±6, ±10, ±16, and wide range settings. Additionally, each deck offers a reverse direction button, vinyl jog mode with speed adjustment, auto beat loop, and loop slice functionality.

The mixer section features gain trim, a 3-band EQ/isolator, and dedicated sound color FX for each channel. Global beat effects include delay, echo, spiral, reverb, transformer, flanger, pitch, and roll, while dedicated navigation controls allow for browsing and track selection for each deck. Located across the top of the unit are controls for microphone levels and EQ, booth monitor, and master level controls. The system can also be used as a standalone mixer with connections for CDJs and/or turntables. The XDJ-RX3 ships with a power cord, USB cable, and a license for rekordbox dj software.

10.1" Touch Screen

10.1-inch touchscreen: instinctively browse playlists, mix tracks, and apply effects

• The XDJ-RX3 features a 10.1-inch touch screen, noticeably larger than the XDJ-RX2’s 7-inch screen, making it the largest screen on a Pioneer DJ all-in-one system. The new screen delivers a higher resolution 1280:800 (WXGA), increased frame rate, fresh GUI design, and a host of new features for easy navigation, quick browsing, and accurate mixing. The system’s new screen also shortens track scrolling time, as the browse section features 12 tracks instead of 8.

Rapid Browsing

• Playlist Bank: Playlist Bank allows artists to add four playlists to the Playlist Bank for rapid playlist access and quick track selection.

• Touch Preview: Artists can preview any part of a track without loading it to a deck by touching its waveform in the relevant place in the browse section—similar to how an artist would on the CDJ-3000 multi player.
