Upgrades

Improved Beat Effect *1 accuracy with the addition of the Quantize function

The Quantize function*2 has been added which automatically corrects beat effect to play on-beat using the beat position information as analyzed in rekordbox music management software. You can obtain beat position information and BPM information for songs from a Pro DJ Link compatible Pioneer DJ player*3 by connecting the player to your DJM-2000 via LAN cable. Then, even if you miss the input timing for an effect while you are DJing, the effect will be adjusted automatically to the analyzed beat position, allowing you to apply effects on-beat, according to Pioneer.

Updated reverb function for dynamic song arrangement

The Reverb Beat Effect has been updated. In addition to the length of the reverb effect, you can now adjust the openness of the simulated space at the same time. This is designed to increase the strength of the effect and allows you to dynamically arrange songs as you mix them during your DJ performance.

Broadened Noise adjustment range to increase the volume of noise that you can mix into your songs

Pioneer broadened the adjustment range for the Noise Inst FX*4 to increase the maximum output volume for this effect. This is designed to allow you to add sufficient NOISE even to songs that are at a high volume. Maximum volume of the oscillator" and sample in Sidechain Remix ?5 has also been increased as well.

Updated filter function for quick effect performance

Pioneer has changed the filter beat effect, so that when you turn the level knob for the effect all the way to the left, the Filter function turns off and only the source audio is output. This allows you to turn the filter effect on and off for effect performance.

*1 An effect that is applied in time with the beat (BPM) of the song.
*2 Only for songs analyzed by rekordboxTM.
*3 For CDJ-2000 and CDJ-900 with the firmware ver. 4.00 or higher installed.
*4 An effect applied manually to each channel output sound, unlike a beat effect.
*5 Side chain remixs an effect created using the multi-touch panel, with the selected channel sound input as a trigger,
