After an initiative by the American musician Joel Cohen in 1976, which proposed to local groups in Toulouse to go out and play on the street every June 21, since 1982 the European Music Day has been celebrated, with the aim of highlighting the value that this art has in our lives by promoting cultural exchange and allowing professionals to share their creations with the public.
So, to celebrate this date, Pioneer DJ wants to propose to go out and demonstrate all your talent with the DDJ-400 2-channel controller, a device that will allow you to unleash your DJ skills regardless of the level you might have in this field. In fact, the Pioneer DDJ-400 is ideal for beginners since it has controls that allow you to easily learn the basics and be compatible with the new DJ rekordbox tutorial feature (which includes a free license from the recent version 5.3), you can learn step by step.
In the tutorials, which are interactive, you will find explanations to know the equipment and its functions, as well as precise instructions to start doing the first mixing.
Thanks to this rekordbox feature, you can record your sets and upload them to some social networks like Mixcloud, YouTube, and KUVO. it also helps you by classifying all tracks in your library based on the matches most compatible with the music that plays so you can get the best out of it.
This device will not only allow you to get started, but also incorporate the details of Pioneer DJ’s professional range. The controls are arranged in the same way as those of the standard professional configuration CDJ-2000NXS2 and DJM-900NXS2, so it is easy to jump from one computer to another.
The DDJ-400 also uses trim and EQ buttons, and headphone pre-listening buttons, just like those on the DJM-900NXS2. On the other hand, the design of the Play/Pause and Cue buttons, the CDJ-style Beat FX and Loop controls, are heritage of the NXS2 configuration.
To use it, you simply need to connect the controller to your PC/Mac using a single USB cable and since it is a lightweight and portable design, it can be taken to any party or home of your friends without any problem. This USB input also provides the necessary power, so no power outlet is needed to work.
