Pioneer has updated their XDJ-1000 USB-only multiplayer to mkII status. The upgrade transfers features from the flagship CDJ-2000NXS2, including its 7-inch, full-color, high-resolution touch screen, as well as enhanced track browsing, functionality and support for playing high-quality FLAC and ALAC files. Track Filter, which differentiates tracks by BPM and key, and the new Matching feature displays suitable tracks you’ve previously tagged in rekordbox.
The XDJ-1000 mkII also retains key features from before. You can use the Qwerty touch-screen keyboard to search for keywords, then scroll through results on-screen or with the large rotary dial. You can analyze and prepare your tracks in rekordbox and the screen will display at-a-glance information such as Wave Zoom, Beat Counter, Phase Meter and Key Analysis – as well as provide instant access to your pre-prepared cues, loops and customized rekordbox settings. Plus you can colour-code your USB devices and the illuminated USB port will reflect that color, so you instantly know what’s on each device.
