Pioneer DDJ-RZ Pro DJ Controller

The top-flight Pioneer DDJ-RZ is the first professional, native controller for rekordbox dj, giving you the flexibility to prepare your tracks in rekordbox and then get plug-and-play performance directly from your laptop. The controller mirrors the software's layout precisely to enable intuitive and creative performances. Equipped with a club-quality magnetic crossfader, large jog wheels inherited from the CDJ-2000NXS and a stack of awesome features, the DDJ-RZ takes the creative possibilities even further.

Intuitive layout

Designed to deliver the tightest possible integration and fast response with rekordbox dj, this controller mirrors the software's layout for instinctive performances. The 16 large, back-lit rubber Performance Pads instantly trigger quantized Hot Cues, Slicer and Pad FX.

Large aluminum jogs

These large jog wheels are optimized for a perfect scratch response. They have illuminated cue point markers and an accurate countdown for even greater scratch and reverse precision.

Sound color FX

This controller comes with four preset Sound Color FX buttons - Space, Jet, Pitch and Filter - which you'll be able to customize in the future with upcoming rekordbox dj Plus Packs.

Advanced FX

Pad FX lets you create multiple FX chains using all 16 pads, while the Sequencer mode allows you to record, play and loop sample sequences on the fly. Trigger up to three of rekordbox dj's quantized Beat FX and twist the dial to manipulate the parameters of each. Plus you can release complex FX patterns with a vinyl brake, echo or back spin.

Enhanced sound manipulation

This controller is equipped with an oscillator sampler that allows you to overlay four pre-set sounds - Noise, Sine, Siren and Horn - and modulate the output using the dial. The sampler also gives you the freedom to trigger and manipulate your own samples loaded to the banks in rekordbox dj.

Connect other devices

The two soundcards and USB ports (with a simple A/B-switch) enable you to hook-up two computers at the same time for seamless DJ transitions.

Slip Mode

Keep tracks playing muted during live edits such as loop, scratch or reverse. Release the jog wheel and the track comes back at exactly the right place.

Beat Jump

With Quantized Beat Jump you can jump backwards or forwards any number of beats from the current playback position.

Needle search

Needle search provides a touch strip for intuitive and fast searches.

High-quality audio & hardware

The DDJ is constructed from premium materials and audio circuitry. The robust build ensures durability, while the distinctive styling and aluminum jog wheel deliver a professional feel.

Enhanced operability and durability

Pioneer's magnetic faders account for smooth and steady control. Two metal shafts support the fader knobs, while the contact-free magnetic system is designed to endure millions of performances.

The product is awesome. I upgraded from the sx2 to this. What a great piece of equipment. The device was awesome and they really came through for me with the financing. Free shipping was nice too and I got it in two days as promised. This was incredibly easy to set up and use. Best part is they have a master out for your headphones. I live in an apartment building so I can't jack the volume up at all. Great sound and very responsive. Pioneer knocked it out of the park with this one.
