Allmänt

After a long time of speculations and teasers, the time has finally come! Pioneer has launched full product information about her DJ MIDI controller that can be used almost universally. The design, makeup and technique have been thought through so well that almost anyone can work this controller – even if you are not (yet) a DJ, you will be able to work it! The DDJ Ergo is easy to use and a delight for the beginning as well as the advanced DJ.

Well thought-through design of the DDJ Ergo The DDJ Ergo’s design is stylish as well as functional It can be used for serious mixing jobs as well as for more decorative ends. It fits very well into neatly designed decors. The white and black design with rounded corners gives a very fluid feel to the whole composition, making it a real beauty. This image is further strengthened by the large amount of clear indication LEDs of the DJ MIDI controller. Every action registers visually on this mixer, which allows you to see at a glance what is going on. Especially in dark surroundings this is extremely handy.

As the title suggests, the DDJ Ergo has been shaped extremely ergonomically. The lightly tilted top plate ensures your clear overview over the jog wheels, faders, encoders en buttons. The design of the lges is also very well thought through. There is space enough to place a Macbook or other 13” laptop under the controller. This has been done in order to make selecting your tracks possible without the use of a mouse and keyboard. As you will only need a few cables to get everything to work, the chances that you will be bothered by excess cabling are very slim.

Generic DJ MIDI controller Pioneer likes to emphasize that the DDJ Ergo is a very generic, almost universal MIDI controller. It may come with Virtual DJ LE included, but this is mostly to offer starting DJs an easy plug-and-play system. Virtual DJ LE offers an assortment of effects, samples and the possibility.to assign hot cues to your tracks very easily. Thanks to the perfect beat synchronisation and the presence of the LED indicators, you can never go wrong! This makes mixing very accessible for starting DJs as well as for advanced DJs. More experienced DJs can focus on working with samples and hot cues. This allows for the audience to be taken along in a mix that you would hardly be able to create with a traditional DJ-setup!

Should you feel that Virtual DJ is not suitable to your particular demands, this DDJ Ergo works well with software like Traktor or other DJ-software that supports MIDI. This makes combining this mixer with other software easy.
