rekordbox

The included rekordbox music management software can be used to prepare playlists, cues, loops, hot cues and other data required for DJ play unhurriedly at home

ahead of time. This allows you to devote all your attention to DJ play at the disco/

nightclub, with total assurance. From acquiring music files to DJ play, all steps in the

cycle of the DJ’s work can be accomplished smoothly.

rekordbox is an application for managing music files which are used for DJ play with a Pioneer DJ Player (i.e. CDJ-2000, CDJ-900).

Data that has been detected and measured, as well as any points which have been set and stored using rekordbox, can be used in combination with a Pioneer DJ Player

(i.e. CDJ-2000, CDJ-900) to achieve outstanding DJ performance.

PRO DJ LINK

Functions include “SD & USB Export” using SD memory cards and USB devices (flash memory drives and hard discs) and “rekordbox LINK Export” using the computer

on which rekordbox is installed.

 SD & USB Export

This function can be used to transfer rekordbox music files and management data using SD memory cards/

USB devices. This eliminates the need to take your com-

puter to the disco or club.

 rekordbox LINK Export

When the CDJ-2000 and computer are connected by LAN cable, the rekordbox music files and management data can be transferred directly between them. This elimi-

nates the need to export data to SD memory cards/

USB devices.

SOUND CARD

The CDJ-2000 is equipped with exclusive interface and MIDI interface for controlling the DJ software of other brands. There is also a built-in sound card, so other equip-

ment can be connected easily.

DISPLAY

A large 6.1-inch color LCD is used to display not only text data but also jacket photos. The combination of a GUI displaying music file information in easily understand-

able fashion and a rotary selector with easy operation lets you select tracks with no stress.

WAVE DISPLAY

WAVE displays indicate the data with a higher resolution than previous Pioneer products.

NEEDLE SEARCH

When the NEEDLE SEARCH pad is touched with a finger, the sound near the position at which the pad is touched is played instantaneously. This makes for faster point

searching than ever before.

TAG LIST

In addition to playlists prepared using rekordbox, tracks to be played next can be temporarily collected inside the CDJ-2000. The music files added to the tag list can be

displayed as a list. This function is extremely convenient for selecting tracks during live performances.

KEYWORD SEARCH

Keyword searching, letter jumping and other functions let you quickly and precisely search for the desired music file.

HISTORY MEMORY

The CDJ-2000 is equipped with a history function storing the playing history of music files. Playlists can be created from this playing history using rekordbox.

0.5 FRAME STEP

The minimum frame has evolved from 1 (1/

75 seconds) to 0.5 frames. This makes it possible to set the cue and loop points with greater precision to achieve accurate,

advanced DJ play.

ADVANCED JOG DIAL

The jog ring illumination lights in four places, so the top and side edges of the jog dial are clearly visible, even in dark DJ booths. This can also be used to impress the

audience.

QUANTIZE

The CDJ-2000 is equipped with a quantize function for putting a track on beat even when the button is pressed roughly, as long as the track has been analyzed with

rekordbox. When setting real time cues and hot cues, the beat is automatically set to the beat closest to the position at which the button was pressed.

HIGH SOUND QUALITY

The CDJ-2000 is designed for thorough improvement of the sound quality, for both the digital and analog outputs.

For the digital circuitry, a high performance Wolfson D/

A converter is used to faithfully reproduce even the most delicate sounds, achieving clear, high quality sound

with a rich sense of mass and acoustic field.

For the analog circuitry, a hybrid OP amplifier is used to reduce to the utmost limits that inaudible noise of 20 kHz and higher that can blur the original sound. Unwanted

digital noise is shut out to achieve clear, highly transparent sound faithful to the original.
