i am a noise industrial musician and this works amazing..its great for almost any genre.

[@antdog4117]

Would I effectively be able to sample from my smartphones headphone jack using an Aux to a 2 line 1/4 TS jack, In order to be able to bypass the need for a cdj? At the moment I am still unsure as to what I am able to use as a sampling source. And not being able to play audio files that are longer than 64 seconds has put a speed bump in creative processes. I don't want to pre chop ideas before putting them on a flash drive and was really hoping to get away from using the computer altogether while brainstorming.

[@peteypete1984]

sample sum shit n chop it up wherez that wav form? chop menu? pitching? resample?

[@indiefilmcomposer]

excellent demonstration guys !

[@mightymikerocks]

What's the biggest usb in gigs you can put with samples?

[@thecylonsmusic]

It'll take up to a 2TB external drive

Its a shame this thing cant control external midi gear. I'd like this to be running my synths. An ideal live tool.

[@djmattplay]

Dzod it can sequence your synths via midi. You can also route the audio from the synth to the inputs and use the DS filter. Plus it can act as a hub for integrating your midi synth with a DJ setup. The SP-16 can sync via LAN to Pioneer DJ players. Then transmit the clock via midi to external midi gear. Essentially changing the pitch on a CDJ, will change the tempo of the external midi gear.

[@dzod]

It can now thanks to the latest update but its very basic. Its only a 4 note sequencer which is pretty weak for a premium product like this. I couldn't really care less about the dj features.

[@djmattplay]

Dzod how many notes at a time can other standalone sequencers send?

[@dzod]

Lots. In theory 127 notes per midi channel. But realistically there should be at least 16 note polyphonic sequencing per midi channel.

[@djmattplay]

Dzod interesting.. I'm curious what other sampler / sequencers have that type of capability

[@arjanpetersen]

Nice.... Cool device.

[@xxspinzzxx]

Does anyone know if this can control midi in your DAW

[@BetweenBeatsNDreams]

so much gear coming out..you could almost just never make music and just buy and learn new gear lol

[@MadelnMachines]

Or you could save some money and spend all day watching videos about it instead!

[@hinataluva]

thats me since i got into this, im all about biding my time and buying the perfect gear. this seems great....about 15 mins in. im hoping they talk about some production applications.

[@FKfilmphotography]

I'm sold take my money.

[@omgitstord]

Hey! Great talkthrough. Mine is on the way, and I just can't wait for it. Ordered mine with the new AS-1. Excited to see how that works out. Just a question, and this is by no means an attempt to be "anal", but at ~13:15 (ish), he says that the key is D Major. Doesn't Pioneer DJ usually depict major keys with "C, D, E, F ..", and minor keys with Cm, Dm, Em, Fm...?

[@henryelectronics]

tor aizzz.... tor aizzzz

[@recurvmusic]

D minor...

[@xxspinzzxx]

I would deff use this for live shows and production..but this is deff overpriced. I would love to play w one before buying. Or just find a used one. Bring Down Your Price Pioneer!!

[@ultravirtual5749]

So expensive for what it is...

[@meretricious2977]

Pioneer / Dave Smith normally carry a overblown price tag :(

[@MadelnMachines]

Serious? Pioneer charge £2000 for a CD player

[@gurkenjoe8795]

Damn, he should pitch his samples dude. The demos were terrible !

[@MonstaMunch101]

Tfw he thinks that the M in Dm means "major" instead of minor. Smh. Just goes to show you don't need even the most basic knowledge of music theory to use this stuff.

[@jamisbillson4872]

Monsta Munch...I know mate. I’m a live musician. Drums, Guitar and keys with the best software around (Bitwig, Omnisphere and Soundtoys5 Fx). The tech is always dragging me into 4/4 and variants of 4. And I don’t think musicians who are often actually I.T experts and NOT musicians should talk music of they don’t know music. A basic understanding should be something the I.T crew should WANT to learn. You’re a guitarist aren’t you?

[@evildead2002]

Cera alba lol

[@cristianocaldas]

My good Is this man nervous? He speaks too fast, nex time slowly
