Stream, Create, Experience: Introducing the DDJ-200

Smart DJ controller from Pioneer DJ, compatible with streaming
services and our free app WeDJ for iPhone

TORRANCE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Enter the world of DJing with the DDJ-200, our new smartphone and iPhone
compatible smart DJ controller. Priced at just $149 USD, the DDJ-200
makes it easy to start DJing with the help of the Tutorial feature in
our app, WeDJ^TM for iPhone (ver. 2.0), which you can download
for free from the App Store.

For over 25 years we’ve been making DJ equipment, software, professional
audio gear, and music production tools that have been used by everyone
from bedroom DJs to global stars. Now, the DDJ-200 offers anyone –
regardless of their musical or technical knowledge – an intuitive way to
make the leap into mixing music. Designed with beginners and hobbyists
in mind, the smart DJ controller is compatible with a variety of music
streaming apps and offers access to features that demystify many aspects
of the craft. You can use the DDJ-200 to mix tracks at home or on the go
and take your first steps as an artist.

Connect the DDJ-200 to your iPhone and mix songs from your iTunes via
our app, WeDJ. Or connect the software to SoundCloud Go+ and Beatport’s
new Beatport LINK streaming service to access huge online sources of
music. Download Algoriddim’s djay iOS/Android app and you can mix tracks
from Spotify (Premium account required), or download MWM SAS’s edjing
Mix iOS/Android app and access content from Deezer. Find more
information about iOS/Android app compatibility and music streaming
support below.

The layout of the buttons and dials on the DDJ-200 inherits the style of
our professional DJ equipment to make it simple for you to get hands-on
and find all the controls you need to perform. To help you get to grips
with DJing as quickly as possible, we’ve added the Tutorial and
Transition FX features to WeDJ for iPhone, both of which are popular
with beginners.

The DDJ-200 will be available from mid-May at an MAP of $149 USD. The
smart DJ controller is compatible with WeDJ for iPhone and our
professional performance app for PC/Mac, rekordbox dj (worth $129).
Simply download the software to your compatible device, plug in the
controller and start DJing.

To help keep your DDJ-200 safe from bumps and scrapes on the road, the
DJC-200 BAG will be available (EMEA only, not available in US). The DJ
controller fits snugly into the custom-designed protective bag which
features an EVA Durashock molded body, impact-resistant egg-foam, black
ballistic polyester, and a soft, fleeced lining.

KEY FEATURES OF THE DDJ-200 and WeDJ for iPhone

music streaming services

2. Tutorial and Pop-Hint features to help
beginners enjoy DJing

Combine the DDJ-200 with WeDJ for iPhone to use the Tutorial feature
which summarizes the basics of DJing. Find out how to connect the
controller to your devices, and how to use various features and effects,
and pick up tips on performance techniques.

WeDJ for iPhone also offers the Pop-Hint feature that explains the
functions of buttons without switching screens. If you’ve never handled
DJ hardware before, these features will help you get up and running, and
performing, in no time.

3. Transition FX – easily perform professional
sounding mixes with various styles

The DDJ-200 can reproduce various patterns of DJ mixes between tracks
for people with no experience behind the decks. Activate the Transition
FX feature in WeDJ, choose from 11 patterns^*7 and simply
slide the crossfader to switch from one track to the next via a
professional-standard transition.

4. Phrase Sync – world’s first feature on a
controller^*8 for
easy, natural switches between tracks

Our phrase analysis algorithms will analyze the composition of your
tracks and detect phrases. When you tap the dedicated buttons in WeDJ
for iPhone, Phrase Sync uses the information from this analysis to align
the start and end positions of the phrases in two tracks so you can be
sure it will sound natural when you switch between them. The DDJ-200 is
the world’s first DJ controller to offer this kind of feature.

5. Compact, lightweight body for DJing anytime,
anywhere

Take the DDJ-200 wherever you want, thanks to its lightweight and slim
body. There’s no need to carry speakers because you can play sound from
the built-in speaker of your smartphone, tablet, or PC/Mac. And the DJ
controller can be powered via a power bank*⁹, so you don’t
even need to stay close to an outlet.

6. Split output for DJ performances

Use split cables to separate the audio output of your smartphone,
tablet, or PC/Mac into master and monitor outputs. This enables you to
check audio via your headphones, e.g., cueing the next track, while the
crowd hears the master sound playing through the speakers.
