The mixer section gets a new, grey finish and the Sampler Volume control is a knob now instead of a fader. It’s now got three microphone inputs along with built-in Sound Color FX, which is something you’d find on Pioneer DJ DJM mixers or flagship DJ controllers like the DDJ-SZ2. This is the landscape where Pioneer DJ released its latest controller: the DDJ-SX3 is the third iteration of the DDJ-SX, and it retains most of what DJs love about it while throwing a few curveballs in. Club and pro DJs now had a serious bit of kit they can take to gigs, and mobile jocks had a reliable unit that included the inputs and outputs they needed to run shows.įast forward to today: DJ controllers are more powerful than they’ve ever been, even eclipsing kit found in DJ booths, and they’ve got a lot bigger as well (see the DDJ-RZX and Numark NS7III). The DDJ-SX shifted the DJ controller paradigm by being big, full-featured and professional. Those tradeoffs (as well as the general newness of digital DJing) led to controllers being labelled as “toys”. It was considered massive at the time – smaller controllers like the Vestax VCI-300 and the Traktor Kontrol S4 reigned supreme back then when portability and form were prized over power. It’s been six years since the introduction of the original DDJ-SX controller which changed the game for digital DJing.
