The Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX10 is a 4-deck DJ controller available at Irvine Art & Music that seamlessly blends the familiar features of Pioneer DJ’s CDJ and DJM devices with cutting-edge sonic tools to deliver a new world of performance possibilities. Designed to cater to the needs of DJs across genres, the DDJ-FLX10 allows you to expertly mix, scratch, beat-juggle, and sample-based performances.
The DDJ-FLX10 offers real-time stem separation and control, a groundbreaking feature that allows you to manipulate and remix any standard audio track with ease. The latest iteration of rekordbox 6.7, the program that accompanies the controller and is available at Irvine Art & Music, introduces a previously unavailable tool that makes any track a viable candidate for deep manipulation and remixing. Real-time part separation can divide a track into three RGB color-coded parts: blue for drums; green for coals; and red for instrumentals. These parts can be individually toggled at any time, and volume and FX can be attenuated and applied to each part, all in real time. You can wash the drums with reverb as the track plays, or slowly work the instrumentation and vocals up into the mix as you transition between tracks, eliminating the conventional harmonic boundaries imposed by different key signatures. The platters will illuminate with the corresponding color to the parts that are being manipulated and display in white when all parts are active.
The DDJ-FLX10 is configured to accommodate both rekordbox and Serato, which can even be done simultaneously. This means that two computers can be connected via dual USB-C ports, each running one of those programs, and seamlessly shift between them as you go back-to-back on the stage. Channels three and four can be toggled between line or phono modes to accommodate turntables, and each deck features its own 3-band EQ, complete with trim controls, and a 3-way source selector. A total of 16 performance pads — eight on each side — are available for hot cues, FX, sample recall, keyboard mode, and more, totaling eight different options with the backlit performance pads alone. This means that DJs can craft grooves, juggle samples, and perform in a variety of ways to keep the crowd dancing all night long.
The DDJ-FLX10 boasts a sleek and informative interface design that eschews a conventional display screen in favor of in-wheel displays. This means there are fewer sensitive surfaces, a more-uniform overall profile, and simplified storage or transportation. The vivid displays convey a host of information that can be toggled or changed at any time, including active deck information, a stacked waveform view that includes whatever is playing on the adjacent channel, a logo view, which can be customized, and an artwork view, which pulls album art from the active track to resemble a classic vinyl experience.
The DDJ-FLX10 also offers total textural and FX control with onboard FX divided into two primary categories: Sound Color FX and Beat FX. The former includes space, delay/echo, crush, pitch, noise, and filter options, which can be attenuated with each channel via dedicated color FX knobs. Beat FX come in 14 flavors that can be applied to individual channels, mics, or the master output via a single control knob with satisfying tactility. The FX Part Select is a subsection of this area, complete with color-coded, backlit buttons for part selection.
Overall, the DDJ-FLX10 is an innovative and versatile DJ controller that can help you take your performances to the next level. With its real-time stem separation and control, compatibility with both Rekordbox and Serato
