• AlphaTheta has released the next-generation DJ controller, "DDJ-GRV6"!

  

  2024/10/08

  AlphaTheta Corporation, which plans and develops Pioneer DJ products, has announced the "DDJ-GRV6", the latest model in the DDJ series.
  In addition to supporting 4ch control, it is compatible with both rekordbox and Serato DJ Pro, just like the FLX series. It also supports the new GROOVE CIRCUIT function. It is now possible to replace the drum part of a song playing in a rekordbox environment with a drum part of a different genre or style or add effects, allowing for more flexible DJ play than ever before, such as creating fill-ins, build-ups, and breakdowns. It also supports the STEMS FX function of Serato DJ Pro, allowing you to apply various effects individually to each part of the vocals, drums, and instruments. The deck section is designed with the CDJ-3000 in mind, and the mixer section is designed with the DJM-A9 in mind, so you can play with the same feel as you would in a club.
  The retail price is 132,000 yen (tax included), and the release date is scheduled for Friday, October 18th. Pre-orders have begun ahead of the release date.
