Pioneer unveils new controllers for Traktor and Serato DJ Software

Pioneer introduces 2 new controllers: the DDJ-T1, which will offer Pioneer operability to users of TRAKTOR DJ software, while the DDJ-S1 does the same for Serato ITCH. A perfect integration of each software’s functionality and their leading-edge hardware, the Pioneer DJ Controllers offer the same operability and layout as their pro-DJ equipment – whilst enabling DJs to play music files from the computer.

Bundled with TRAKTOR Pioneer DDJ-T1 Edition software, this new controller delivers all of the most popular TRAKTOR features – without the need to upgrade the software. 4-channel deck control, 6 effects and recording all come as standard, meaning that the DDJ-T1 helps DJs unlock the full potential of the software at no extra cost.

The DDJ-T1 combines the familiarity of TRAKTOR with Pioneer operability to deliver high-level performance. Due for release in mid-February, the DDJ-T1 will retail with a suggested retail price of £899 including VAT – offering an affordable solution for bedroom or mobile DJs.

Features include:

  • Effect area exactly mirrors the software interface, delivering the same look and feel
  • 115mm jog wheel and Needle Search
  • Unique laptop integration design places the screen in the DJ’s line of sight at all times
  • Optimized audio circuitry in the master output area borrowed from our pro-DJ equipment ensures high quality sound

  • Built-in sound card.

The perfect home or mobile DJ set-up, the DDJ-S1 features balanced XLR input/output for connection direct to professional PA equipment, and a microphone talk-over feature to make MC’ing a breeze.

Add to this the simple Plug and Play connection, amazing software features and superior hardware control, and the Pioneer DDJ-S1 is a major force to be reckoned with. Suggested retail price is £1099 including VAT.

Features include:

  • Tight integration with Serato ITCH software: play music files direct from your laptop without ever touching the keyboard
