The filters are the most useful of this bunch, but the other four can provide some interesting color to tracks when used properly.Īs mentioned before, the beat effects and their controls are taken almost directly from the EFX-1000, including the push button beat-division controls. The INST FX (as they are labeled on the mixer) are close relatives to the DJM-800 effects-six types including noise, jet, zip, crush, LPF (low-pass filter) and HPF (hi-pass filter). Directly underneath the EQs you'll find a knob labeled FILTER which actually controls the amount of the chosen Instant Instrument effect for that track. The four channel strips each have your standard 3-band EQ that range from -26 dB to +6, but you can switch the behavior of all the EQs to match that of the DJM-1000 Isolators (which offer a complete kill of the frequency band). These can be used to connect two laptops and up to four Pro-Link-supporting CDJs to the mixer. Looking round back you might be startled to find more Ethernet jacks than your average home network router (six to be exact). Surrounding this middle section on each side are two channels of mixing controls, with more extra bits pushed out to each edge. Most of that extra size is accounted for in the center section, which is shared by a beat effect section (reminiscent of the EFX-1000) on the top half and the DJM-2000's calling card-a 5.8" high touchscreen-on the bottom.
The first thing you notice when taking the DJM-2000 out of the box is its size-almost five inches wider than the classic DJM-600. It's called the DJM-2000 and Pioneer has claimed it to be the "most powerful live remixing tool and FX processor to ever grace clubland." Now Pioneer is hoping to continue that momentum by releasing a new touchscreen mixer with the same type of technological advances.

In addition, this new generation of CDJs also supports the sharing of one main source of music via Pro DJ Link, a proprietary protocol that runs over Ethernet. The executives in the pro DJ division of Pioneer seemed to finally embrace this sea change last year when they released their CDJ-900 and CDJ-2000 units, which offered support for the major digital DJ apps in the form of both MIDI and HID via USB. Fast forward to 2010, and I think you would have a hard time finding many DJs who are still exclusively using CDs. Time went on, hard drives got cheaper and the early wrinkles of the Traktors and Seratos of the world were ironed out to the point that they could be trusted for primetime use. CDJs and DJMs were fixtures on the rider of many a touring DJ, and as a result they became commonplace in many clubs.
