Did you guys know that Pioneer is a japanese company started in 1937?
Well, since the drop of the first Pioneer CDJ500 back in 1994, Pioneer cd players as well as mixers have been the indusrty standard, for all the self-respecting Djs. At the moment every sophisticated club owner hosts a pair of CDJ1000 Mk3s and a DJM800 mixer.
Well some new combination of Software / Hardware solution is about to hit the market on thursday the 17th.
Are we expecting CDplayers with integrated media library or a touchscreen mixer with a bunch of cool new features? Any sponatneous theories or insider information? 
Thanks to Data Sapiens for the tip. Can anyone confirm the mock-up bellow?
Peace!

Dawn of a new species, which in that case means the death of cds. It could be a stand alone player
Dawn of a new species, which in that case means the death of cds. It could be a stand alone player
I been mixing for 20+ years. I started out on 12s worked my way up to CD players and now use Traktor with a midi controller.
I love my laptop. I do everything on my laptop. I make music, edit music and play music off my laptop.
The only thing I bring to my gigs is a laptop, midi controller and my audio 8.
The same thing that happened to Technics will happen to Pioneer. Technics didn’t make the switch to CD turntable & Pioneer took over the market. Pioneer thinks they could continue making CDJ and the market will continue to buy.
I haven’t found the best midi device for DJing but midi is the way to go. I don’t want another midi CD player or a usb CD player. I don’t want to use timecode. We need a midi device which allows the dj to take advantage of all of the features the dj software has to offer. Believe me you’ll have more control mixing with midi than using a turnable or cdj. Try it before you put it down.
Just my two cents.
