Life is way too short to waste time policing comments. And I think you can. It also works brilliantly in Traktor. Just like with , Pioneer is catering to a very specific, hip-minded group of people. I like the layout and size and the quality of the platters though being a vinyl head I do wish they were rotating.
I was afraid of buying a gadget quenini but it's a small killing. And still had more to say but I will stop there. Show me the money So what does Pioneer consider to be an entry-level controller cost? The section looks clean and uncluttered, which invites use. Then burned cd's for a while. I used to lug vinyl.
It looks great, functions great. I also believe in quality I use Genelec 8030 for my in house set up and 8050 for bigger gigs and mac pro and i think that the Ergo does not let you down. Of course the Ergo does not compare with the T1! The Keylock button also doubles a Tempo Range Selector, which is another function that might not get enough use to warrant its own button, but gets enough to warrant a hands-on presence on your controller. A rather nifty feature, if a purely cosmetic one, is the illumination of the channel in time to the beat of the track playing through it. And the plastic feel its great ,anyway I use it for mobile dj. Do you think the size is a good or bad thing? The buttons are located away from other controls and can be hit easily without missing them or hitting another control. From an angle, things start to get a little more space age.
The traktor s2 better sound but ddj ergo jogs with these quality provides better touch. As mentioned earlier, the Ergo also features a Preview button that lets you quickly listen to tracks without loading them into a deck. Even the Reloop Mixage has better quality than this. Does what it claims to and nothing more. The knobs are really hard to turn, and the small matter does not help, clammy hands and it slips. Surely you can tell if two tracks are in phase using your ears? This layout obstructs the computer from entering search terms or even use the built-in mouse.
There is some serious bashing going on against the ergo in particular and pioneer in general. Works good with and quality gold plated connectors. If I'm starting so I will ever be the choice for me but the trend is there. I suppose that means the Ergo nets an average score in this category. Hardware: Seems to be well made with a number of the feature, such as the crossfader that seem to be the very same used in higher end models. In Traktor, they control the Loop Recorder.
Too bad the sound quality is not the appointment but it is still up to the price. Im strongly considering upgrading to unlock the full video features. The inclusion of both 3. The value for money is correct. It's great, but it looks a bit Fisher Price. Thats fine, but they are pricing themselves out of the market, again. I've used it in the club a hand full of times along side the Pioneer 1000s, and it has functioned great.
It is mobile and a good size. Please let us know your thoughts in the comments. They exist and they get the job done. If your playing small gigs, house parties, weddings or even a beginner I highly recommend this unit. The dual layer four deck control feels a bit like a nod to the fact that four deck is the latest craze, and the Ergo feels a little behind the curve when considering other controllers that are implementing four physical channel faders into their design. If you have a loop running in Traktor, for example, pressing an unlit Sample button stores the loop in that sample slot. The volume control is there to either deafen your hearing or preserve it.
Again, the controls are so easy to use you can easily work out how to use with a few minutes play. Thus Pioneer were somewhat reticent to have us tear it to shreds using buggy beta software. The platter feels well built, which is a bit of novelty considering the build quality of the rest of the unit. You can also preview tracks using a button located just underneath the rotary controller. The Pioneer play and cue buttons have been ditched in favour of a slightly different, curved bezel style that fits in better with the overall aesthetic of the Ergo, and the buttons for other features are stiff plastic which depresses only a very small amount before activation.
Pulse control adds a visual dimension for precision performance The newly developed Pulse Control uses light to give a visual representation of pitch, beat, effects and which decks are in use. The interface is very nice, you can put over the computer. Or should I consider others? This is a neat and useful touch that could so easily have been overlooked, but its inclusion greatly improves the Ergo and enhances its position as a credible controller. And Pionner for me is the … Read more ». Buying the Pioneer brand carried much kudos, and also having the Serato logo on the same box as a supported option only makes the Ergo more attractive. Controllers I feel in general are over priced.
The most obvious loop controls are the in and out buttons. I upgraded from a mixage to an ergo They were running an £80 off summer rebate and it is brilliant to have more functions at your finger tips and also the size. To set a hot cue you need only press an unlit hot cue button. This is just flashy and fun. What is so special that you like most and least? Bass, mid and high frequency bands each have a pot and each channel features a gain control.
