Why not review the Pioneer DJM 900 Nexus now?

Engineered to bring studio quality sound and sequencer style tricks to the club, six new beefed-up effects turn creative vision into a reality at the twist of a dial. In addition to the essential FILTER and CRUSH, the DJM-900nexus boasts four new modern effects.

• The massively popular Noise from the DJM-2000 is added by popular demand.
• The brand new and seriously lush Space reverb brings high-pass and low-pass ambiance to every channel.
• The new Dub Echo also has high-pass and low-pass control over a new tape delay effect to twist with your mind as you slip the timing.
• The amazing Gate/Comp strips back your music to the peaks, or beefs it up to seamlessly blend drastically different productions together in the mix.

Overhauled Beat Effects add a whole new level of control

On top of the 6 super-easy Color FX on each channel, the channel-assignable Beat Effects bring a whole new level of control – making extreme processing more reliable and creative with instant results. Let's start off with the new control interface:

• Rekordbox™ Quantize picks up Beatgrid data over theProDJ Link. Simply connect the DJM-900nexus to the network andcompatible CDJs send real-time BPM and beat position data to theeffects, even as you adjust and bend the pitch in the mix!
• In addition to the Beat buttons that change the timing, the intuitive X-Padis a touch-sensitive strip that simultaneously engages the BeatEffects, while adjusting things like the Reverb filter, Roll time, andPhaser LFO - using just one finger!
• Bringing a new approach to Filter, Phase and Flanger sweeps is a twin LFO. LFO1 is controlled by the Beat buttons, while LFO2 expresses further wobble factor using the X-Pad.

New High Quality Effects for a digital generation

These include Reverb, Spiral, Slip Roll, Melodic and Midi LFO.

Pro DJ Link functionality enhances performance

The DJM-900nexus joins the Pro DJ Link family with a LAN connection that brings three revolutionary new features: Now On Play, Beat Effects and Cue Link.
