For everyone frowning down on this (and thumping their collective "well-I-myself-use-only-turntables-blah-blah"), I think you're missing a HUGE point here. WIRELESS MIDI controller? That's pretty freaking groundbreaking. And I can see exactly why Pioneer has opted to introduce the technology to the casual user. First off, the hardcore, working DJs would normally scoff at this (shocker!). But, MIDI, when mapped properly, can have zero latency. MIDI is what's driving your top of the line DJ controllers (and time code vinyl BTW :) ). Just like rap music in the 80's, and digital DJing now, streaming music is here to stay. And its only going to get better from here.

I think it‘s a smart move from pioneer to expand and get more people interested in DJing. And if they like it they will probably stay with pioneer and buy their more pro-like gear in the future. The new WeDJ also looks nice. I‘m using turntables but maybe I can see myself getting this as a „let‘s go to the beach and have some fun“ setup.

This is a game changer for ultra portable setups even for more experienced DJs, since you can power it with a standard USB 5v power bank, which other controllers can’t do including the WeGo4. No laptop, outlet, or generator/expensive portable AC power necessary. Just your iphone/ipad, USB battery, and a good portable speaker like a JBL Boombox/Extreme and you can renegade DJ ANYWHERE with a full 3 band EQ mixer at a beach bonfire, park picnic, festival campsite, etc where I’d never bring my pricey laptop.

Great proposition, but the lack of an audio interface is something horrible! If this thing had a basic audio interface and a midi cable it would be so much better. I was hoping it would be something like the wego with the tiny audio card, the usb midi connection and the basic outputs (headphones and speakers). I think itwould be much more usefull and people would keep it more time once they learn the basics and fall in love with this dj world. Personally, I dont think it is a great product, just a good idea. Pioneer shoul be thinking more about the future of their new djs like they did with the wego. That controller could be mapped for other software and had separation of audio for you and the crowd. Sorry pioneer, but you didn't knocked it out of the park this time.

Phil, an late response so you may miss it. I think the battery not in the device is a great idea and should be implemented broadly. Think of the total number of batteries less produced across the whole electric/electronic consumer market if chargers and power banks we all already have had so much more application. Less stuff to throw out to the landfill, easier maintenance, (hopefully) cheaper devices. I totally appreciate the less wires and portability mindset but you still need cables for this particular device. No ultimate right or wrong here but an interesting pro-ecological move, although not necessarily intended as such. Cheers, Tom

I love the size! Reminds me of my old Hercules DJ Instinct controller. If I use this with rekordbox on my laptop, how will I get sound out? Will the included splitter cable work on the standard mic/headphone port on macs and windows laptops? This would be a really good backup controller for my DDJ1000. I think the DDJ400 is also a good option but the size of this one really hits the spot for me. Maybe an in-between 'DDJ300' wtih built-in soundcard, same size, but with browser knobs and track load buttons should be developed too. That would be good for managing libraries, playlists, cue points and testing out new song combinations maybe...

Maybe a DDJ-300 is coming...

Little thing: There is xy pad for effects in Rekordbox iOS for ages, but only for XDJ-Aero via wi-fi, which IMHO was extraordinary piece of DJ hardware (i’m still using it basicly every day and i have it for seven years already).. I still wish that Pioneer makes an iPad version of Rekordbox (remotebox is useless), but after all those years i doubt it..

This unit should come standard with a copy of "Rock The Dancefloor" : ))) This seems like a little power house when you get to know all the features. For on the go DJ's you can turn any plain house gathering between friends into a huge party . . . .cheap : ))))

Sounds funny but as a possible beginner, I'd like this controller to have more light effects lol, i see the Numark party Mix n the Hercules 200 have cool lighting

I bought a ddj-200 about 4 days ago now, never used a controller before. I feel like it’s holding me back already 🤣🤣. I think I’m going to upgrade to the ddj-400 because I think I’m only going to use rekordbox anyway.

Nope! Wrong! This controller is great, if you give it some time (just like EVERY musical instrument) you will get better at DJing!

Nice for beginners! My question is what does the sweep fx do? Is is it just a bandpass effect? I have a DDJ-1000, and I just don’t understand when I’d want to use it in my mix.

Very informative. Now makes want to get one. How would it work with Spotify? That part wasn't mentioned? Thanks Phil.

It works with Algoriddim's djay app, which works with Spotify.

I have just ordered one for fun just take away with me while working away plus I will have to add it to my set up plugging it into my Traktor s8 it’s something different I can have two decks running vinyl time codes one channel with the DJJ 200 plugged in with two decks playing and one channel with a remix deck or the other way round I think is a good idea from pioneer the fun of Traktor and pioneer software working side by side the fun of both worlds.

This is the super portable solution I have been looking for on my tablet. I would have liked the bigger ddj-400 however I'm not sure if that works with the WeDJ app using a wired connection.
