Pioneer CDJ-400

Pioneer Electronic's CDJ-400’s design is simple and compact with all of its controls and features located on top of the unit. The USB port found on the face of the player allows DJs to play MP3s from thumb drives, MP3 players or external hard drives. Locating and accessing of files from these types of music devices, as well as MP3 music files on CD and CD-R/RW through the CD slot, are easily done, thanks to the CDJ-400's multi-function selector knob/button and its dot-matrix LCD display,

The CDJ-400 is also equipped with a PC mode in which it acts as a native controller for software such as Pioneer DJS computer software and SERATO® Scratch LIVE. For example, the movement of the pitch slider on the CDJ-400 can control the pitch slider on the computer software and no timecode CD is required for audio control. The player can also act as a MIDI controller where the user can assign virtually every button on the player to trigger functions of various DJ software programs.

In addition to traditional “vinyl” mode scratching, Pioneer has implemented what it has dubbed the "World’s First Scratch Jog Effect". Three highlighted buttons, each assigned to a special effect (Bubble, Trans and Wah), creates unique scratching sound effects that can be enabled by the DJ on the fly. A “hold” button is also added to retain the different effects throughout the session or until its release, which can also be triggered at any point of play.

Additional Features:

Digital Loop functions: A variety of loops can be created for additional audio effects.
Beat Loop: Automatically creates a four beat loop based on the tempo of the music (BPM) being played.
Loop Divide: Rhythmically divides the loop to create different patterns.
Hot Loop: Restarts the loop seamlessly from its entry without interruption of the music.
Digital Jog Break: In CD mode the CDJ-400 contains three effects, Jet, Roll and Wah, which further enhances the audio by simply rotating the jog dial. The same buttons for the Scratch Jog Effect are assigned to the Digital Jog Break which are accessible at any point of play.
Tempo Control: Four tempo modes, ±6%, ±10%, ±16% and WIDE, provide additional speed control with a resolution of 0.02% in the 6% range.
Cue/Loop Points: Up to 10 cue/loop points per disc, for up to 920 discs, can be stored to player’s memory.
Jog Indicator: A red halo illumination around the jog provides instantaneous visual feedback to the DJ.
Customizable Jog Wheel: Users can create their own customized image to insert under the removable jog wheel top.
Digital Output: A digital output is available for a direct connection for clearer sound to a connected mixer.
Resume Function: The function takes effect if a CD is ejectedaccidentally. Once the DJ re-inserts the disc, it automatically starts playingfrom exactly the point where it stopped.
