PIONEER DDJ-SB Controller with Seraro 2 channel

The DDJ-SB features similar operability as Pioneer's extremely popular DDJ-SX and recently announced DDJ-SR. More compact and portable than the other models, the DDJ-SB 2-channel DJ controller is designed for the entry-level DJ who wants the same look and feel as the two upper models but with more basic operability and at a more affordable price. The DDJ-SB uses the Serato DJ Intro software and incorporates multiple performance pads, large jog wheels, and a new Filter Fade function that assists users in smoothly blending together tracks of different styles.

1. Designed for intuitive plug-and-play control of Serato DJ Intro and Serato DJ
   The DDJ-SB has dedicated controls for all the bundled Serato DJ Intro software's features including loops, four Hot Cues and four samples. Plus the DDJ-SB has two FX units per channel, with six FX to choose from, the parameters of which can be controlled using one Level/Depth dial.

   DJs can also purchase the full version of Serato DJ for intuitive control of even more cue points, samples and loops - plus advanced features including Slip Mode, recording mixes, and FX Powered by iZo.



2. Industry first: Filter Fade enables DJs to do more than just mix
   The new Filter Fade function takes mixing with the crossfader beyond simply fading the volume of one channel up and the other down. By hitting the Filter Fade button, DJs can add two high pass filters to the crossfader - so both volume and base filter can be manipulated using just one hand. Seamless mixing becomes effortless, and DJs can use their spare hand to unleash their creativity, triggering samples, loops and cues.



3. Tactile controls add a fun, physical element to performing
   The DDJ-SB's layout mirrors Serato DJ Intro and Serato DJ interface, so getting hands on with the controller's tactile buttons and dials soon becomes second nature.
   Highlights include:

   Performance Pads: four rubber pads enable DJs to trigger Hot Cue, Auto Loop, Manual Loop and Sampler - while a further four give immediate access to Play, Cue, Sync and Shift functions.

   Low-latency jog wheels: two 112-mm aluminium jog wheels are highly responsive for precision scratching.

   Manual filters on each channel: independent low/high pass filter dials for each channel are inherited from the premium DDJ-SX and DDJ-SR controllers.



4. USB powered for ultimate ease of set up
   The DDJ-SB is USB powered, so DJs simply connect the controller to their PC or laptop using the provided USB cable - there is no need for additional connections.



5. Professional design and build in keeping with Pioneer pro-DJ products
   The latest in Pioneer's range of professional controllers for Serato DJ, the DDJ-SB is constructed from premium materials and audio circuitry. The robust build ensures durability, while the distinctive styling and aluminium jog wheel deliver a professional feel.

 Designed for Serato® software users, specifically for "Serato DJ,” the DDJ-SP1 is a slim and compact sub-controller that uses multiple performance pads, controls, buttons, and knobs to trigger a variety of unique audio samples and effects. The DDJ-SP1 is designed to be the ideal companion to Pioneerʼs new DJM-900SRT mixer but can also be matched with other systems via its MIDI controller functionality.  

The DDJ-SP1 is made for Serato software users who want to add effects when using a professional DJ setup of two players and a mixer such as the DJM-900SRT.  With the sub-controller, DJs can enhance their performances with multiple effects, similar to what\'s being done with our extremely popular DDJ-SX controller for Serato DJ.  The DDJ-SP1 includes a free of charge download of a Serato Video plug-in (valued at more than $100).  The plug-in is compatible with Serato DJ, Scratch Live and ITCH, that makes it extremely easy for users to insert video, effects and image files with music. 

• Performance Pads – Sixteen Performance Pads on the sub-controller for seven different functions including Hot Loop, Auto Loop, Manual Loop, Hot Cue, Roll, Slicer, and Sampler.  A "Sampler Velocity" function determines the output volume of the sample based on how hard the pads are struck.  Each pad can be assigned as a hot cue point, and its blue illumination will signify its state of play for instant graphic feedback.

Sampler Volume Fader - In between the the performance pads is a volume slider to control output of the trigger pads.  The convenient location of the slider enables quick volume adjustment during finger drum performances.

• Slip Mode – Pioneer included a Slip Mode function that enables continuous music playback in the background even when loops and hot cues are being performed.  The functionality can also be used with players and controllers that support Serato DJ but not Slip Mode.

• FX Knobs/Buttons – The integrated knobs and buttons are arranged for Serato DJ software for operation of iZotope® effects.

• The sub-controller includes a free of charge download of Serato Video (valued at more than $100), a video control plug-in compatible with Serato DJ, Scratch Live and ITCH, that makes it extremely easy for users to insert video, effects and image files with music.
• USB connectivity and charging.
• DDJ-SP1 can be mounted on the X-Stand (T-U101), Pioneerʼs portable DJ stand (sold separately).
• Compact (12.9” x 7” x 1.8”) and weighs only three pounds, for easy transportation.
