Pioneer DJ - PLX-CRSS12

Description

This game-changing deck is the world's first to offer DVS control of digital music via DJ software as well as analog playback of vinyl records, helping you take your performances to the next level.

Never worry about needle skipping again when you use the PLX-CRSS12 in DVS mode with Serato DJ Pro or rekordbox. The tone-arm-free playback means you can scratch a real analog record as vigorously as you like without fear of missing a beat. And when you want to play a record the traditional way, you can simply switch the deck to Analog mode and use the tone arm as normal. Various components have been upgraded from the highly respected PLX-1000 professional turntable to create the best-ever analog sound from a Pioneer DJ deck.

Features

* Tone-arm-free DVS control eliminates skipping in digital playback - The new Magvel Clamp holds a record firmly in place when you touch it, enabling it to directly control the digital music file, giving you the true feeling of vinyl with no need to use the tone arm

* Feeling adjustment to suit your style - Find your perfect "weight" setting by turning the dial on top of the Magvel Clamp. The amount of torque will be increased or decreased to make the record feel lighter or heavier without changing or adjusting slip mats or slip sheets.

* Performance Pads and OLED display for accurate and rapid control - The PLX-CRSS12 inherits classic turntable layout elements, but a new addition is the 4 built-in MIDI-mappable Performance Pads which put your favorite features at your fingertips.

* Native pad mode support - Serato DJ Pro: Hot Cue, Sampler, Stems, Scratch Bank, Roll, Saved Loop
rekordbox: Hot Cue, Sampler, Track Separation, Sample Scratch, Pad FX1, Beat Jump

* Evolved, high-quality sound - The PLX-CRSS12 has been carefully built to improve on the sound quality of the PLX-1000 professional DJ turntable, which is highly acclaimed for its accurate sound reproduction. A switching power supply is used to eliminate transformer power supply vibration and flux leakage, and unwanted noise is suppressed, resulting in high-resolution sound quality

* Replaceable Magvel Clamp - Additional clamps are available to buy if you want to take your own set on the road, or if you need to replace a clamp that's been lost. You can store the Magvel Clamp neatly in a dedicated area on top of the deck.

* Serato DJ Pro and rekordbox compatibility - compatible with Serato DJ Pro and rekordbox. By connecting this unit to a PC/Mac with DJ software installed, and to a mixer that supports the DVS function of the respective DJ software, you can start playing in Digital Vinyl mode and use the Performance Pads
