CDJ 2000 Nexus

[GREMM1S]

Okay, edited post with wholesome details.

Expect the official release later today.

That's the leaked pictur,e which matches a similar one i was shown this morning from a legit source.

Here is also some features taken from another site:

This Pioneer CDJ-2000 NXS/Pioneer CDJ-2000 MK2 has got some new features such as:

- BEATSYNC Feature (as seen on Pioneer XDJ-Aero)

- Loop Chopping/Slicing via ‘LOOP MODE’

- Zoomable waveforms

- SLIP Mode

- An even better Rekordbox integration

- Advanced hot-cue’s

- Renewed, better quantize function (in combination with the beatsync)

- Rekordbox mobile app integration (as seen on Pioneer XDJ-Aero)

- Multicolored waveform display

It all adds up tbh.

So i am assuming one of the silver buttons will basically be a sync button.

But obviously you will need to be using the wifi connection with rekordbox to actually use the sync feature, something i can't see many dj's, especially club dj's doing as alot don't want a laptop to lug around.

It seems a weird way to do it, ideally for sync djs having a wireless connection or even through a lan cable like they do now would be enough for sync without the need for the laptop?

Anywhoo exciting times, will be able to play on it next week i'm told!

From memory they are announcing this sometime today?

Looks like it will def have the wifi link similar to the aero or whatever the other one is that connects to rekordbox.

Guessing 'nexus' is the new mk2

Looking forward to hearing more about these...

First look at the Pioneer CDJ-2000 Nexus with full Traktor advanced HID integration

i'm not really amazed by it. seems all they have done is added traktor stuff. providing this info is correct

I thought that at first, but djs will have to use rekordbox via wifi and will need a laptop which hardly any club djs will use.

I'd say the sync will prob work on LAN too

As long as you use rekordbox to play the music, i would say it will.

5pm release

[GREMM1S]

Maybe a bit unimportant, but im hoping the cue/play buttons are more solid like the cdj 1000s, interestingly they have gone back to silver like the 1000s.

not the biggest fan of the traktor style histogram, i reckon the 1st gen 2000's are better, but i guess until you have a go on them for yourself you wont know

That image is fake man, there arent any pictures of what the screen will look like yet.

[AlexJ]

im only awaiting this release in the hope that current 2000's (and hence 900's) will fall slightly in price although knowing pioneer it wont be much. the thought is nice though

also i wouldnt expect too much from the display tbh

[GREMM1S]

Possibly the most boring promo video ever, but you can get an idea here.

Not loving it so far, i hope you can zoom the waveform out to see the structure of tracks.

[AlexJ]

yer wasnt really blown away

that being said tho. still want to get in and play with them

[GREMM1S]

Time to move to vinyl me thinks.

[ThatPartyGuy]

*opens wallet* "This is why we can't have nice things!"

just seen facebook blow up with things about sync buttons just after i watched the CDJ 2000 nexus preview with laidback luke haha. guess the master sync button pisses people off.

[ThatPartyGuy]

thought i might make a photo that depicted the reaction of everyone on my facebook news feed.

lol not the best photoshopping i've done but eh lol

Can do just about everything with 900's / 1000 / 2000 etc etc etc as long as you use in conjunction with Traktor maybe?

Yes but without the extra equipment, for clubs djs especially having sync and other features available all in the one unit is a big plus.

Very interested to see just how well the sync works, no other program's sync is fool proof as of yet.

[DionDJ]

I was thinking about buying Traktor & a new laptop (since my current one is fried) to work with the 900's. Now I'm thinking it might be worthwhile selling the 900's and getting the 2k nexus instead... Hrmm....

[GREMM1S]

Best option would just be to use usb on the 900s? Do you have any real need for traktor? Especially if you play in clubs at all you can just use yours usbs like you usually would.
