Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX6 4-deck Rekordbox and Serato DJ Controller

Product Information

So, when you want to create a live remix of a track, or simply add some texture to the music, you can scratch with your favorite sounds. Serato users sadly are limited to the preset default four effects with no ability to create custom mappings, a considerable drawback. Automating loops, changing BPMs and applying effects in the process, the Merge FX remains active until the DJ presses the central button again to release the effect.

Pioneer DJ aren’t re-inventing the wheel here, as such you will find on this unit the same Jogwheel size that is on their flagship CDJ-3000 series players with on-display functionality that allows you to truly feel immersed in your mixes.Use Jog Cutter to apply a professional sounding scratch effect to the last Hot Cue or playback position by merely moving the jog wheel. Jog Cutter allows the jog wheel to be moved back and forth to produce slick scratching sounds, allowing the user to perform like a professional battle DJ. The Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX6-GT is compatible with various DJ software applications, including rekordbox and Serato DJ Pro and is also compatible with VirtualDJ (license available separately) and TRAKTOR PRO 3 by downloading the TSI file. The wheels are impressively sized: they are the same size as the ones you’d find on a CDJ-3000 or Pioneer DDJ-1000.

My only concern there is that you may become reliant on them, only to not have them when it comes time to upgrade your gear. Another new feature is the new “jog cutter” mode, which allows the jog wheel to be haphazardly moved to create complex stutter-scratch patterns.And, with the Jog Cutter and Sample Scratch

Much like other automated features in DJ software, we still recommend learning the skill to transition between genre’s and wide BPM ranges manually. The lack of professional audio connections and inferior build means the FLX6 isn’t suitable for DJ’s wanting to play outside of the bedroom. Instead of a standalone mixer section and a metal-reinforced body (like the SR2), the FLX6 sports four channels and full-sized jog wheels – two very enticing features that are generally only found on higher-end Pioneer DJ gear. There are 10 different scratch patterns that can be accessed by simply moving the playhead position (on the jog wheel’s display), and when you lift your hand, the track will continue to play as normal. The Pioneer DDJ-FLX6 is a 4-channel DJ Controller that boasts new features, a unique style, fresh looking layout, full-sized jog-wheels, use of pro-sounding scratch effects, and the ability to mix tracks from different genres effortlessly.

You can choose from ten different scratch patterns by moving the play head position shown on the on-jog display. Nonetheless, the FLX6 has found a seemingly untouched niche in the DJ market, and will likely sell very well to lower-budget hobbyist DJs. All products shown online are BRAND NEW and sealed (unless otherwise specified) and include full manufacturer warranties. By moving the jog wheel, you can use Jog Cutter to add a scratch effect that sounds professional to the last Hot Cue or playback position.
