connect via the Link Port and share a single music source. Additional functions
added to the CDJ-2000nexus that can be accessed when other players are connected
using the Pro DJ Link are:
• Beat Sync – Tempo and beat location of music currently playing on one of the
device can be matched with the push of a button.
• Traffic Light – Shows the keys of music being played by any players connected
via Pro DJ Link, making key-compatible music easier to find by a different color
indicator.
• Beat Count and Phase Meter – The Beat Count, which is the number of beats
until a set point (memory cue), and the Phase Meter, which shows the beat/bar of
the music, can also be displayed simultaneously by other players.
Performance Functions
Pioneer added Slip Mode and Quantize functions to the CDJ-2000nexus for added
performance and reliability.

a loop, reverse or scratch and continues audible playback at the exact time when
the loop, reverse or scratch is ended, resulting in smoother transitions.
• Quantize – Utilizing a Quantizing feature, cue points and loops can be set
perfectly on-beat. The Quantize feature ensures cue points are set accurately
and automatically, correcting and synching beats during manual looping or
real-time cueing to reduce off-beat mistakes.
• My Settings – The function settings of a player can be saved to an iPhone,
iPad or iPod touch, USB storage device, SD memory card, or other device. For
additional convenience, the settings can also be can be made ahead of time on
the rekordbox App or software allowing users switch to their settings when a
connection is made to the CDJ-2000nexus.

point.
• Needle Search – the touch pad lets the DJ “place the needle” and jump quickly
to a specific part of a music track.

player.
• Rating on the Go – Users can rate tracks during play for easy reference or
sorting.

the best of pioneer i buy some one when i was rich! the sound its very good use only for the good ones dis.
UNLIKE my review for the sister mixer this gets 5 stars.<br /> <br /> This is my first pioneer CDJ (Denon SC-3900 previously) Still in my other rig which for scratching i adore. But these are a great unit. There is nothing on the market in CDJ's that has the display like this its clean and precise. There are a few things that are not as clean and easy as the denons but not in a bad way. <br /> <br /> Hot Cues seem a little messy to access clear and re-record and some of the key features are not always obvious but not in a bad way. The feeling of the unit is nice and to be honest the start and stop curves in vinyl mode feel a little more polished than the Denons. <br /> <br /> Rekordbox is simply wonderful (Can always bee room for improvement but for the ability of loading a track to the deck which is all Iam referring to in this article good) and quick and easy to load decks up accordingly which is handy I find relying on tractor to cater for the backup toons becoming a thing of the past. The stability and reliability of rekordbox over the wifi is simply second to none I have never had such confidence in a CDJ in all my life. For all you DJS that know what you are looking for its all there and then some. Needle search is ok not great though I imagine they will introduce a touch panel in time but then a lot of us are moving to iPads etc anyways. <br /> <br /> On A side note I was just thinking I don't think I have ever put a disc into any CDJ I have ever owned.<br /> <br /> Anyway scrolling through playlists with the rotary knob can be a little slow with no momentum control & sometimes the default organisation of tracks need tweaking but nothing will stop the star rating. I feel the case build is a bit plasticky and could be a little more sold but once its in your flight case/coffin its fine and to be honest if you have them on your Cranes then extra weight is not what you need.<br /> <br /> I know that price wise there are plenty of others out there but CDJ 2k's have been the benchmark for a few years now and i don't see much changing. Pioneer are always innovating and with the potential within these units is so far ahead of me I just hope the next reviewer will do me some justice. These are worth the money weather you have them for 2-10 years Iam sure they will serve you perfectly every time. If your are wondering if they are worth the extra i say YES Save up and do it you will never regret it!<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
Well I have had every Pioneer CDJ in tree line you want the best well here it is…& they give you there software for free & you don't need other software or a laptop to run it..Check them out...
