mean that this isn’t, for you, the dream all-in-one you’ve been thinking of? Please let us know your thoughts in the comments. The biggest differences you notice immediately are the fantastic 10. The XDJ-RX2 is made of an all-plastic enclosure similar to what you’d find on a CDJ-2000NXS2.It’s quite heavy, and the first thing that you notice is that it looks very much like a combination of several Pioneer DJ products: the DJM-450‘s mixer and effects section, the CDJ-2000NXS2 media player’s screen, and the jogwheels and pad layout of the DDJ-RX controller. 20 th January 2015: Be liberated from the laptop as Pioneer DJ launches the XDJ-RX: the perfect marriage of the CDJ platter, a high-performance mixer and a central, full-colour screen featuring dual waveform display. The new screen also delivers a higher resolution 1280 : 800 (WXGA), increased frame rate, fresh GUI design and a host of new features for easy navigation, quick browsing and accurate mixing. Pioneer DJ’s XDJ-RX3 is a direct replacement for the popular XDJ-RX2 standalone DJ system, and so it is not surprising that it looks and feels similar to its predecessor upon unboxing. Total Unison: Pioneer DJ launches the XDJ-RX the all-in-one rekordbox solution with large, dual-deck screen.
What are your latest thoughts on this having seen the video talkthrough here? Can you see yourself “ditching the laptop” in favour of Pioneer’s Rekordbox route? Or do things like only two channels, no CD slots etc. The XDJ-RX3 features a 10.1-inch touch screen, noticeably larger than the XDJ-RX2’s 7-inch screen, making it the largest screen on a Pioneer DJ all-in-one system. We don’t think you’d want to though: The screen size makes this something that for the first time, we think laptop DJs could easily switch to. It truly blurs the boundary between laptop and USB DJing: Not only does that screen can contain an awful lot of information but, we found out that you can actually plug your laptop in and DJ with Rekordbox using the laptop as a bigger screen should you want to. We’ll bring you more thoughts on this unit in good time, but our impressions today were that for many DJs, this is going to be a total game-changer, because they can DJ on a controller like this at home, and use the same preparation in Rekordbox (and the same USB drive) to DJ in clubs too. We’ve concentrated on the way the unit works with Rekordbox, and what you can do on that big, central screen.
Can I just confirm that this mean the XDJ RX wont work at the minute with rekordbox 6. The XDJ-RX2 is an upgrade of the popular XDJ-RX, combined with features and traits from the flagship NXS2 series. I came across the below info on hardware unlock devices (first pic).
All drivers and firmware have been updated. We’ve got a world-first detailed talkthrough of the features of the brand-new XDJ-RX controller from Pioneer, here at NAMM 2015. I have been trying use rekordbox dj ver 6 with my XDJ RX but with no luck (I dont get any midi mapping controls). We’ve had a chance to speak with Lars from Pioneer DJ about the brand new XDJ-RX all-in-one Rekordbox System.
