key elements of Pioneer Professional CDJ players with a host
of innovative features such as full-function MP3 playback,
Hot Loop, Beat Loop and the unique one button Loop Cutter,

Since the CDJ-200 is fully MP3-compatible, aspiring DJs can now
include the very latest downloaded tracks in their sets, without
having to convert the audio from other formats. The MP3 functionality
also allows DJs to locate tracks more quickly (via Folder Search)
and to see the name of the disc, artist and song on the unit's
bright dot-matrix display window. This screen has a bar graph
showing the elapsed and remaining playing time of a track, plus
an Auto BPM Counter, giving DJs the real-time information they
need to create better mixes more quickly. The unit has a tempo
read-out too, as well as a separate Master Tempo button with 3
settings for locking the pitch of a track as it's sped up or slowed
down. The unit uses an electric-blue light at strategic locations
to give the DJ constant feedback on the status of the CD and the
effects in use. The light above the CD-slot, for example, shows
that there's no disc on board and also guides the DJ to the user-friendly
quick-load slot. With the disc inserted, that light goes off and
a blue illuminated ring appears around the edge of the Jog Wheel
- indicating that CD is loaded & ready for playback.
An established highlight of Pioneer's Pro DJ CDJ players, the
Jog Wheel can be used to speed up or slow down the music, to fine-tune
cue points manually, or to control the mix with the help of another
proven feature – the Digital Jog Break. This has three effect
buttons (Jet, Zip, Wah) for creating original sounds as the DJ
manipulates the Jog Wheel. When the Digital Jog Break is on, the
blue ring flashes quickly. Once the HOLD/RESET button is used,
the flashing slows down. With the effects off, the continuous
blue light returns. The CDJ-200 also has a unique Resume function
that takes effect if a CD is ejected accidentally. Once the DJ
re-inserts the disc, it automatically starts playing from exactly
the point where it stopped. The unit has a Digital Out socket
too, so that all of the digital features available in DJ Mode
can be carried over to a connected digital environment, as well
as a headphone jack (with volume control) which allows the DJ
to monitor a CD without connecting to a mixer or external amplifier.

PIONEER DJM400 MIXER
The
DJM-400 packs a wide variety of effects for creative mixing.
The effects, that automatically detect the BPM of the music
and sync to the beats include: Delay, Echo, Filter, Flanger,
Phaser, Robot and Roll, all of which are processed at 24bits
for the highest quality sound. In addition, by using the newly-adopted
Beat Select Button, the DJM-400 automatically sets the effect
time linked to the BPM for more intuitive play and responsive
remixing.
The intelligent 96kHz/24bit sampler automatically detects the
tempo of a track during playback, sampling it for four beats,
then loops the sample. As the sampled audio is in sync with
the beat of the track being played (no matter the tempo) the
DJ is given more time to be creative. Samples are automatically
beat matched and up to five samples can be stored in memory.
Each of the DJM-400 's channels has a 3-band Kill EQ which ranges
from +9dB to -8(infinity) for total control of the sound. The
DJM-400 has been designed with as a perfect partner for the
MP3 compatible CDJ-200 both in terms of style and function.
When combined, these units create a small, portable yet powerful
and robust DJ setup that offers exceptional versatility and
performance.

All
the above is used at Jazzy Joe's DJ Workshop to give the best
training possible to young DJ's with modern but not too sophisticated
equipment. The idea is that the basics should be strong and everything
else can build up on the good foundation. Equipment can only do
what you will make it do. As
Jazzy says, "Ultimately, it's not what you have, but what
you can do with it that matters !
