As the boundaries between beat-making, DJing, sampling, and performance continue to blur, it only feels right that Pioneer DJ would emerge with a groundbreaking new DJ controller to answer the call: DDJ-FLX10. This 4-deck controller was designed to expertly blend the familiar sensibilities of their CDJ and DJM devices with the cutting-edge sonic tools needed to usher your mix into a new world of possibilities
Real-time Stem Separation and Control
Coinciding with the release of the DDJ-FLX10 is the rekordbox 6.7, the latest iteration of the program that introduces a previously unavailable tool that makes any standard audio track a viable candidate for deep manipulation and remixing. Real-time part separation can divide a track into three RGB color-coded parts: blue for drums; green for vocals; and red for instruments. These can be individually toggled at any time, and volume and FX can be attenuated and applied to each part, all in real time.
DJ Any Way
Out of the box, the DDJ-FLX10 is configured to accommodate both rekordbox and Serato, which can even be done simultaneously. This means that two computers can be connected via dual USB-C ports, each running one of those programs, and seamlessly shift between them as you go back-to-back on the stage. Plus, channels three and four can be toggled between line or phono modes to accommodate turntables, and each deck features its own 3-band EQ, complete with trim controls, and a 3-way source selector.
Sleek, Informative Interface Design
Since the DDJ-FLX10 eschews a conventional display screen in favor of in-wheel displays, this means there are fewer sensitive surfaces, a more-uniform overall profile, and simplified storage or transportation. The vivid displays convey a host of information that can be toggled or changed at any time, including active deck information.
Total Textural and FX Control
Onboard FX divide into two primary categories: Sound Color FX and Beat FX. The former includes space, delay/echo, crush, pitch, noise, and filter options, which — when toggled — can be attenuated with each channel via dedicated color FX knobs. Beat FX come in 14 flavors that can be applied to individual channels, mics, or the master output via a single control knob with satisfying tactility.
Keep it on the Beat
Those familiar with the CDJ- and DJM-series of products will feel right at home, as the DDJ-FLX10 uses the same jog platters as the CDJ, including a Jog Feel adjustment knob to make them as stiff or loose as you’d prefer. Loop-in/out buttons and the browser knob are in the same positions as the DJM and CDJ-3000, respectively. Still, the DDJ-FLX10 introduces a new, dedicated 4-beat loop button, complete with division and doubling buttons to quickly adjust and assign loop points.
Light Up the Night With Ease
Out of the box, this controller features a dedicated DMX output and compatibility with rekordbox Lighting Mode, accommodating up to 512 DMX channels without additional processing hardware. Just open up rekordbox, assign your lights, and you’re ready to go. rekordbox will even perform what’s called “phrase analysis,” intelligently mapping the dynamic range of activity for each track to optimize lighting to match the hype.
