Pioneer DJ DDJ-SZ DJ Controller

The DDJ-SZ is Pioneer's flagship Serato DJ software controller that strongly emulates the look and feel of their industry-standard CDJ multi-players. Designed for the serious DJ who wants professional performance specifications with the convenience of an all-in-one system, the DDJ-SZ is 35% bigger than its sibling DDJ-SX and features a full-size jog wheel. It also sports additional features such as large performance pads with multicolor illumination, a DJM-style mixer, dual USB ports and a Magvel cross fader.

BIG JOG WHEEL
Full-size 8.1" jog wheels are the most noticeable feature inherited from Pioneer's legendary professional CDJ multi-players. The touch-sensitive jog wheels provide instantaneous response for accurate and smooth scratching and mixing performance. At the center of each jog wheel is lighted display that provides playback status, cue points and position. Customizable settings allow you to adjust the resistance of the wheel from light to heavy. 

PERFORMANCE PADS
Directly below each jog wheel are four effects buttons: hot cue, roll, slicer and sampler. Under the effects buttons are eight extra large performance pads that DJs can quickly access to insert different modified effects to music playing. In sampler mode, the output volume of the sampler effects also varies depending on the strength of user's tap of the pad. An update from the current DDJ-S controllers, the performance pads on the DDJ-SZ illuminate in different colors to quickly communicate the effect mode it is in.

DUAL USB PORTS
The DDJ-SZ includes two USB ports to enable simultaneous connection of two computers. Users can instantly switch between two computers for seamless transitions between DJs or as additional music sources.

HIGH-END MIXER
The mixing area of the DDJ-SZ also closely mimics Pioneer's DJM series of professional mixers, utilizing a generous number of controls and effects with features including Sound Color FX and new Oscillator functions to deliver more creative music arrangements. The mixer can also be used as a standalone 4-channel mixer for outboard players and turntables.

Oscillator - The new oscillator on the right side of the mixer provides four types of sound effects: noise, siren, cymbal and horn. A quick touch of the buttons activates the selected effect, which can also be modified in amplitude to add to the music currently playing.

Sound Color FX - The mixer includes four Sound Color FX functions (pitch, jet, echo and filter), which add numerous audio effect combinations and arrangements to currently playing music with a simple twist of the knobs. Through Serato DJ's BPM analysis users can also synchronize echo effects to the BPM of currently playing music.

DVS Functionality - The controller can support digital vinyl systems, using a control tone to enable an external player to be used as a Serato DJ deck.

MAGVEL CROSS FADER
For extremely smooth transitions and high durability between the DDJ-SZ's players, the unit features a Magvel cross fader that can be customized to adjust the cut in time. The Magvel cross fader employs a contact-free magnetic system that can withstand more than 10 million operations.
