Pioneer DDJ RB & DDJ RR

Pioneer DDJ RB & DDJ RR are the new controllers that Pioneer have launched, specifically for the use of their DVS system, Rekordbox. The previous controllers that they have had on the market, have always been in conjunction with Serato, but with Pioneer fully pushing their own platform Rekordbox, of course it makes sense to revamp the products to work with this. The RB & RR are brothers/sisters/upgrades/whatever to the already popular DDJ SB & DDJ SR that have been out for a while now and of course, there are some cool differences other than just what software that they use.

PIONEER DDJ RB

The entry-level Pioneer DDJ-RB is a USB powered DJ Controller that gives you all thats needed to get started with rekordbox dj performance software. The layout handles like a pro-DJ set-up with play/cue buttons, jog wheels and a VU level meter. The Performance Pads can be used to trigger Hot Cues, Beat Jump, Pad FX and Slicer, plus there’s a button for the new Sequence Call feature. The lightweight, flexible controller supports PC Master Out and is perfect for use on the move.

The Pioneer DDJ RB is also one of the first controllers out there that support PC Master Out, for playing master output through your computer’s internal speakers or a connected desktop speaker while using the controller for your headphones at the same time, which is such a big advantage for new djs just starting out.

The Pioneer DDJ RB comes with a full version of Pioneer's Rekordbox DJ software.

The main features of the Pioneer DDJ-RB include:

  • Controller layout mirrors rekordbox dj for native control
  • PC Master Out – use computer’s speaker for master out and controller for headphones
  • Performance Pads with Sequence Call, Hot Cues, Pad FX, Beat Jump and Slicer
  • Built-in sound card for simple USB connectivity
  • Record to rekordbox dj via the same USB cable
  • USB powered
  • High quality Mic input
  • Easy grip handles and lightweight design for portability


PIONEER DDJ RR

The Pioneer DDJ-RR adds to these features, packing in all the traits of a pro-DJ set-up. Stay in control with large jog wheels, illuminating on-jog indicators and customisable multicoloured Performance Pads. It allows you to get creative with Slip Mode and Release FX, and hit the new Sequence Load button to load your sample sequences to the deck to scratch them. You also have multiple inputs and outputs give you flexible connectivity and the option to use the DDJ­-RR with rekordbox dj software or as a stand-alone 2-channel mixer using multiplayers or turntables.
