Alpha Theta Omnis Duo Review | NAMM 2024 | Beatsource Tech

[@delaSarge]

I think you’re being very kind on your review of this Omnis Chaos. It’s ridiculously high priced and I’ve never seen a review where you had to state so many times that a lot of things are missing or hopefully coming in the future.

[@darktherapy]

If the brand name wasn’t Pioneer or Alpha Theta he’d be criticising the hardware.

[@kco223]

I agree...I had hands on experience and wasn't impressed. The Denon Prime Go is cheaper, better and the build feels like what you would expect.

[@lukeannettdj]

@@darktherapy And the looks.

[@mike._.feliciano6782]

Seems to be par for the course on this equipment, with reviews that is. Very soft reviews. I also agree with @darktherapy, had this been any other competitor, it would have been slammed, over price for the missing features, the Hot Cue's only feature, pitch faders, etc. Now, the bluetooth feature is a really nice feature. To be fair to MoJaxx, he did say he was a little disappointed that this "futuristic" device has missing items and wasn't happy about that.

[@willpolr]

@@kco223how is the Go better?

[@Iccapod]

A lot of very safe reviews of this with minimal criticism despite its many shortcomings. A prime GO competitor with no streaming about 4 years too late and nearly double the price.

[@damelos4039]

Majorly uncompetitive.

[@lukeannettdj]

Pretty obvious a lot of reviewers just do not want to criticise Pioneer/Alpha Theta. Haven't heard a single reviewer criticise it's looks, despite it looking like an absolute piece of trash.

[@rainbowsnipz]

Agreed. Missing a lot of functions you need as a mobile DJ but the reviews overlook these details.

[@Nogi-aka-DJNugz]

The jogwheels are vastly superior to the denon, that's what makes this a fun controller

[@gusisagreatname]

I thought after seeing Mojaxx roast the Opus Quad (largely for its looks and form factor) I'd find something similar for this, but he seems to have taken it pretty easy.

[@lucasmaia8315]

Considering that the prime go will start to show it's age soon, Pioneer had a golden opportunity to release a competitive product, and I think they wasted it. For 1500 dollars, you could get a mixstream pro, a pair of monitors and headphones and pretty much do the same, if not more (streaming). The only thing I'm happy to see here is Bluetooth, but not enough to justify the price tag.

[@BlueHawk80]

Bluetooth is nothing exclusive, even. Denon had already announced BT for all their devices (the chips are there), it's coming. And yes, 1500 is a joke.

We need to stop normalizing OUTRAGEOUS prices for, essentially the same controller as every other one. 99% of the controls are the same. The screen UI is different, but the code behind it is the same. We have to take a stand against this crap. That's a $500 controller! Tops! There's very little R&D required when you just change the plastic. This isn't on you, Mojaxx. People do listen to your opinion, though. I'd love to see an episode on the price of controllers, and why you do or don't agree with the amount.

[@BlueHawk80]

Mojaxx is probably told by Pioneer/AT to not be too negative, or he will lose early demo unit access. Same for Crossfader or DigitalDJTips. I love these channels a lot, but for proper and unbiased reviews, hmmm. Doubts. For $1500 they're way too positive.

[@pricejoss]

This is why monopolies kill innovation. Pioneer and AT are cynically cannibalising their own market. I have a DDJ1000 and when I finally upgrade it will be to Denon SC 6000/1850, not Pioneer CDJ 3000s which are grossly overpriced and lacking in features

Great review as always. I’ve got one a few weeks back it’s not cheap but I went for this one because I’m using a lot of Pioneer gear already. It’s been a lot fun so far and I’ve taken it out to a few parks in London. I’d love to see streaming on this device to.

I’ll be brutally honest. The indigo blue is a nice touch just don’t understand why the platters are just so plain looking. Love the idea but hate the design.

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery... once again, Denons innovation is making the 'club standard' developer "cough cough" innovate too... Pity this will probably disappear when the monopoly arrives... just like a government without an opposition, the only people who will benefit won't be the general public... and we will pay more for less. The irony is that the industry and those that purport to care about it are the ones who are letting this happen. I know I sound like a stuck record...pun intended lol and very cynical, and I think rightly so... but if I end being wrong, I'll happily eat an entire bakery of humble pie. Still, nice to see some new tech and choice for the community. There are some cool features on here, but price vs the go? Thanks for keeping us up to date..

[@willpolr]

Pioneer IS club standard. Cough cough. Denon doesn’t get a look in club wise. Denon is king of bedroom and mobile “DJs”.

[@dj-peterofficial2753]

As a fan of modular kit where I can use different mixers and use whatever fits the day connected, I really need an update to my XDJ-700's. They are the oldest gear with touch enabled features in the whole lineup of players. It came out just after the first XDJ-1000. Even if the all-in-one's have taken over a lot, small modular players are outstanding in value. Not only are they extremely light weight and can be used in any combo of gear, but in case there's a mixer in place, or I want to extend the existing 2 player setup to a 4 player setup, I only need to bring the players which fits in a backpack and weighs in around 3 kg's. Obviously as seen on the Omnis Duo,, they can pack a lot of the new features in to that 7 inch screen. I bet they could fit an 8'' high res screen within the same frame as the old 7''. On a single player, that would be quite enogh even for my old eyes. I have the Mixstrem pro, and the 7'' is a tad bit too small for all the info needed, which means some stuff have very small fonts, and I have to use my hated reading glasses to comfortable see what's in front of me. Never need that with single screens.

[@lucasmaia8315]

I absolutely agree with this. I would love to see a successor to the 700s as well as an engine OS equivalent.

[@afursedon]

I concur. I'd take something that looked like the jogwheel sections of this unit as standalone class compliant midi controllers. I don't really need a screen on them, I just want something to control Dejay on an iPad using a mixer that actually sounds good.

[@dj-peterofficial2753]

@@afursedon For that pupose you can use the old XDJ-700's if you want mechanical jog's, or any other HID compatible player. For me it's the internal software that needs to be updated. I never do and never will use a computer as a DJ, except for preparations. When the XDJ-700 came out 8 years ago the features were similar to the CDJ-2000 Nexus, which still has the foundation of digital Dj'ing, but a lot has happened in 8 years, not the least the speed of loading tracks with a lot of meta data, and to handle large libraries of music without lag. Also the screen tech has devoloped a lot, so an 8'' high res touch screen should be very possible to implement without to much trouble or higher cost. I don't need every feature of the CDJ-3000's, but if I can get a 700Mk2 similar to the XDJ-1000Mk2 vs CDJ-2000NXS2, but with less buttons, I would be very happy. Price for the pair could be close to a XDJ-RX3, and I would order a pair the minute they were announced. I have plenty of 2 & 4 channel mixers to use for different situations..

[@MadelnMachines]

I like your explanation of the whole pioneer alpha thing. 2 channels would be fine if you could also layer accapellas and loops within each deck. Why isn’t such a simple thing possible? It Would make this and the RX3 so much more attractive too. I think most people rarely need more than 2 decks but just want the added creative flexibility that this would provide.

This controller cannot be compared with the Denon Prime Go for at least one reason: Denon has a link port and can be used together with various other devices. In addition, it has a high-quality professional-level audio path. It’s not clear how things are going with this in Alpha Theta. But it is known that in recent years Pioneer preferred to spend more on marketing, saving on high-quality hardware. I wonder if there is at least a function to change the key of a track during its playback?

[@willpolr]

Nonsense. Of course it can be compared. Only some folk want to link things. Regardless it’s a total legitimate comparison. I could say the Go can’t be compared because of its ridiculously small jogs. There wouldn’t be much point comparing things that were the same would there.

Firstly this unit looks like it is made by Fisher Price, I am not a fan of the look, the colour looks shocking, what are they playing at. I don't think it is a competitor to the Denon Prime Go as InMusic cannot make a controller that lasts, I have been through 3 Rane One's, the external build quality is great don't get me wrong but the upfaders are crap and appear to be from the Numark Parts Bin. Also what is it with removing all the external controls and putting them into a Touchscreen, do you realise how much of a pain in the arse that is, I hate the Mics are on a touch screen for the EQ, also the effects etc. Sorry this is not for me, they urgently need to do a update on the XZ and also address the latency issue with Serato (no my laptop is not crap and it works perfectly with other controllers, the XZ there is a slight latency which drives me crazy)

[@youjuhwan9697]

I think bluetooth out and the physical output available at the same time questions me a lot because of delay issues, if those blend together, the delay between two will makes a lot of messy sounds... (better to have hardware output a delayed signal out from option)

[@velanche]

Maybe I'll cop one of these, but I'll revisit it around summertime. I have a DDJ-REV7, which I love, but only found out that this device is standalone and so digging the form factor overall. I'll wait to see about how things flesh out with regards to additional features such as Serato support (not a fan of the Lite version, considering the controller's price). Will be interesting to see if the Prime GO steps up this year, but I"m otherwise enamored by having a standalone device that I can quickly cart off and use when I don't need the heft of the REV7. As always, great review Mojave.

If you have a loop on a hot cue (created on another mixer or Rekordbox) does it still show on this controller but just act as a standard hot cue? Seeing as you it has the time (when connected to the internet), when you record a mix to a USB, does it have the date and time on the file? You said about having a Bluetooth speaker in the next room; would that be any good, given how weak Bluetooth can be? Can you slide the beat grid, like you can on CDJ and XDJ devices?

[@hervedelplanque2841]

Adding streaming services on Pioneer/AT gear is not as easy as it sounds, they’ve never done it on any unit, even the top gear opus quad.. (only CDJ 3000 has Beatport streaming I think). It requires to build track analysis features on the device, meta data management (cue points, loops, rating, tags..) for tracks which aren’t stored locally, and probably many other features that simply don’t exist on pioneer gear today. I think that’s why it’s taking so long.. but of course the Engine DJ software already has all of that so they probably should get going asap…

I said this elsewhere and I believe it's worth mentioning here. It's too expensive given the international market conditions. Meaning, shipping cost have stabilized (ocean transportation, import fee's (duties and taxes, etc.), manufacturing (overseas) cost are actually down, not to mention labor cost overseas is still criminal compared elsewhere. If AlphaTheta is charging a premium price for this equipment, it's because it's their "flagship Name Brand" and nothing else. It's going to be interesting to see what additional products they come out with and hopefully they will be fully integrated with all the items MoJaxx mentioned. I honestly believe they rushed to get this out with the hope that someone like MoJaxx, Cleveland Terry and Nick Spinelli would hype this up. I believe they believe it's a great product and I also believe they know it's missing, as MoJaxx said, features now that may have to wait for a firmware update.

I really like the concept of this and the Prime Go. It is a small all-in-one that you can bring anywhere or just simply have a small, fully functional setup to put in the bedroom. Sure this thhing price is high af, but the only reason I would consider it over the Go is because rekordbox

[@willpolr]

Agreed. Not sure why everyone is knocking the price so much as when was pioneer ever cheap? I’d much rather have this over a Go. Always fancied one of them but can’t ever bring myself to buy Denon gear again.

[@xfOL.]

from what material this made? does it feel cheap or rock solid like denon go?

[@redwalks]

..are u sure that if u scratch of AlphaTheta sticker it doesn`t say Numark underneath ?? 🤔

[@melga_zara]

Can this record your set?

[@mikesinclair5988]

I see a lot of negative comments here. I for one, am excited about this for one feature... MIC EQ! If the Prime Go had it, I'd be using it for ceremonies and when I bring that up in FB groups, users say "use a separate mixer". The whole point of a standalone, all-in-one is that you don't need other gear. With Mic EQ, this will be my ceremony unit. I could care less about streaming.

[@TheSubsiccx]

1500$ ????? Are you nuts? Nahhh ... Not nearly worth it.

[@jamiet2262]

How long before someone makes a Pioneer DJ skin for it 😂. Technically it seems pretty good but looks wise and the advertising they've put out it doesnt seem its for me...the price is a lot for its competitors units. Good honest review Mojaxx, Ive been looking for a new device for the year or so and your videos really help. I was hanging on for a new Pioneer device but sadly this is not it.

[@anonymousmc7727]

I hope you’re feeling well mojaxx…..

[@BlueHawk80]

He still looks kinda unhalthy/sick :( I hope so too!! Love his videos

[@MrFrissie]

Sorry overpriced..

[@va941]

Yeah, about 50%😂😂😂

[@bitbotrecords]

Pass

[@CHAstaroth]

Way overpriced…

[@stanleef]

thats what you people said about the denon go, yet they still bought one.

[@va941]

@@stanleef you people? 🤣🤣🤣

[@DjFuNkysara]

When mpc and ddj have a baby - it’s almost getting there

[@seansaca]

Seems pricey for the category, but at least it’s got 8 pads

[@tallahchris]

question - what about beatgrid editing? a fully standalone capable of streaming from beatport and alikes, should be able to do track analysis and beatgrid editing on its own. if this is not the case and you have to rely on rekordbox analysis, than it is a big no no for me.

[@willpolr]

It’s not capable of streaming from Beatport. You’re looking at the wrong device for your needs. Like knocking a bike when looking for a car.

[@tallahchris]

he said, he wants beatport, he wants soundcloud, asap. I KNOW it is not capable of doing this right NOW.

[@willpolr]

@@tallahchris so If you want Beatport and soundcloud asap get something else FFS

[@Ethereal1]

If it was $900 but it's $3.5k AUD no way

[@househeadspeakz]

In today's economy, I don't see any reason to pay USD 1500 for any DJ gear. I wasn't impressed by this and don't see it selling. This product is not for me.

[@anthonyg8435]

Curious is there any delay playing through Bluetooth speakers?

[@willpolr]

Yes. Lots on any normal Bluetooth speaker. Like half a second.

[@BlueHawk80]

Nice fisherprice unit... for 1500 bucks... ugly looking... and club standard fansheep will still buy it. PEOPLE, WAKE UP FFS - even a Denon Live 4 is cheaper (and much better) than this toy!

[@TruthSeekerAi]

i have ti say i like the mic effects option

[@DJEAZYB]

It looks like an entry level device with all the technical and fun features under the hood which would be an absolute headache if you're in your flow. Good idea, but not well executed imo.

[@roussiathierry2myears271]

I don't understand this product for DJ ?😢

[@willpolr]

Open your mind then. It’s a great bit of kit and can easily be used to get a professional result.

[@Nogi-aka-DJNugz]

It's a great controller and vastly superior in build quality to the dated Prime Go. Though Prime Go has some incredible features, the user experience is lackluster due to the wack jog wheels. Pioneer seems to "get" the DJ regarding the user experience.

[@sadboolean8605]

ngl was looking for something like this last year in RB format, but no physical channel select for FX?...jeeze.

[@d-zone]

$1500 🤣those faders, knobs and buttons look so cheap.

[@djsergiubulgar4922]

actulay they feel very premium, more premium than on FLX10, I have bith

[@mutinyz]

UK Release date????

[@comentariosentreparentesis]

Where are the cue buttons for slicing and prehearing?

[@hardkore360]

They don't exist, you can imagine them in your head though 😂😂😂

[@comentariosentreparentesis]

@@hardkore360 I think they are preset because there is a cue volume one, so you'll always listen to the mix, but that's not practical if ylu want to set a cue pointin the track where can be mixable and you don't know the song by heart

[@lmilianl]

Please guys do me the favor and buy a Denon Prime Go. Its cheaper, more developed and has more features. Also the looks are better of the prime go. Blue? Why 😄 As now you can’t even argue the “club standard” it is far from a CDJ and if you own a Omnius Duo you almost as far away as using denon. Also you can hear the over positiv review for an unfinished product. Pioneer is keeping the pressure highe

[@MatthewLambert-x6o]

What speaker is he using here?

[@mikey_w1834]

This is a support controller for pro djs. Beginner/amateur djs cannot afford 1500 for something to learn from or to play 'at a friend's pool party'. Smh. I agree it's new tech, and some of the wireless features ARE useful, but at it's CORE, it doesn't do much more than say a ddj400 🤷‍♂️
