![]() Not everybody’s going to like this approach – it means becoming fluid in a whole new range of modifier keys – but I found it to provide an easy, smooth workflow within a pretty short amount of time. That’s no mean feat and Pioneer pull it off by assigning multiple parameters to relatively few physical controls. At nearly 27″ by 12.5″ it’s a sizeable unit – fitted gig bags are hitting the market now – but offers a neat, streamlined interface without sacrificing the clearance required for actually usable controls. The T1 comprises two deck controllers astride a four-channel mixer. The Traktor unit is called the DDJ-T1, and we peer through the hype for a closer look. This year Pioneer released two new controllers in their trademark styling, built to integrate with the stalwarts of the digital DJ’s software arsenal: Native Instruments’ Traktor and Rane’s Serato. For years they’ve been the choice of many of the world’s biggest clubs and, it follows, the studios and bedrooms of the performers who play, or aspire to play in them. Pioneer’s Pro DJ line has built a solid reputation on well-designed, high quality equipment, and in particular its CDJ line has earned its place in that most worn of marketing catchphrases, the Industry Standard. ![]()
