Thanks to the tutorial, pop-hint, and transition FX features the DDJ-200 is perfect for those who want to start DJing

The DDJ-200 has been designed with beginner and hobby DJs in mind providing you with tools that allow your mixes to sound professional. The tutorial feature provides you with insights into various features and effects allowing you to pick up tips on how best to perform a variety of DJ techniques. The pop-hint function inside of WeDJ works to explain the functionalities of buttons and controls giving you an in-depth explanation of how best to utilise the controls. These features are ideal for people who have never performed using DJ hardware before and let you get up, running, and mixing in no time.

The transition FX function lets you seamlessly mix between tracks even if you have zero experience behind the decks and is the world’s first feature to offer professional sounding mixes in various styles. Activate the transition FX feature within WeDJ, then choose any of the 11 effects, then when you slide the crossfader to mix one track into the other you’ll hear the effect take control giving you a professional-standard transition. Another world first feature is the phrase sync function that also helps ensure transitions between tracks are as perfect as can be. Pioneer’s phrase analysis algorithms work to analyse the composition of your tracks and detects phrases. When you tap the dedicated button inside WeDJ, phrase sync uses this analysis to align the start and end positions of phrases in two tracks which ensures you’ll get a natural sounding mix.

The DDJ-200 comes with multi-app compatibility which includes WeDJ, Edjing Mix, and Djay2 for smartphones and tablets as well as support for various music streaming services such as Beatport, Soundcloud, Spotify, and Deezer which lets you discover music from a wealth of genres, artists, labels with a massive online catalogue. You can also use the 200 alongside Pioneer’s proprietary DJ application for PC/Mac, Rekordbox DJ. The beginner DJ controller wirelessly connects to your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth making it the first DJ controller ever to feature wireless connectivity. Both the master and headphone audio is outputted from your smart device, simply connect the provided audio splitter cable and connect your speaker system and headphones to the two separate audio output connections and you’ll be able to hear your master channel and your headphone output independently of each other.

The 2-channel DJ controller features a range of professional DJ controls and functionalities. Each deck on the DDJ 200 comes equipped with a jog wheel for scratching and moving through a track as well as a pitch fader for adjusting BPM speeds, transport controls with play/pause, cue and beat sync, a shift button for accessing secondary functions, and eight performance pads that let you access and trigger hot cues, loops, pad FX, and a sampler. The central mixer section provides you with basic mixer controls which include a 3-band EQ with high, mid, and low-frequency bands alongside a dedicated colour FX control which lets you use a bipolar filter, echo, noise, and bit crusher. Two up-faders allow you to control the volume of decks 1 and 2 while a crossfader gives you the ability to smoothly transition between songs, above the crossfader, you’ll find the transition FX control activation button.

Pioneer’s WeDJ app comes with an intuitive layout that mirrors Rekordbox software. The top panel lets you change viewing modes, activate auto-mix, start/stop mix recordings, access the pop-hint function, and displays battery life as well as the DDJ-200 connection.
