Pioneer DJ CDJ-3000 Flagship Multi Player Pioneer DJ has released the CDJ-3000 flagship multi player .
The CDJ-3000 is driven by a new micro-processing unit ( MPU ), delivering stable performance and enabling advanced new features , and it works with the other parts of the player to create a smoother DJ experience . For example , tracks and Hot Cues load faster thanks to the capabilities of the MPU and Gigabit Ethernet connection . The CDJ-3000 is a rekordbox Hardware Unlock device too . So , to use Performance mode , the DJ just needs to update to the latest version of the software , even if they ’ re using the free subscription plan .
The 9-in . touch screen is bigger and offers a higher resolution than that on the CDJ-2000NXS2 . It features the same user interface but new controls are added , such as shortcuts to make it easier to jump between different categories in the music collection . New functions such as Touch Preview enable rapid track selection . With a host of other features including Touch Cue , Stacked Waveform , and 3Band Waveform , the DJ knows where the ideal mix points are on the cued track and the one that ’ s currently playing . As well , eight Hot Cue buttons arranged from left to right underneath the waveform display for more intuitive triggering .

The Edge Pro Select ’ s body is made from swamp ash with either walnut or burled poplar sides in natural satin finishes . The satin finish is an ideal choice for the smooth contours of the body .

The four- and five-string models have a traditional 34-in . scale neck while the six-string utilizes a 35-in . scale length to balance intonation and string tension for the lowest and most unique tunings .

Arturia PolyBrute Polyphonic Synthesizer Arturia has released the PolyBrute , a polyphonic synthesizer with six-voices , two wave-shaping oscillators , a matrix , and more . The PolyBrute ’ s six-voice power starts with two Brute wave-shaping oscillators , with wide timbral versatility from airy pads to stacked bass . The tactile and reactive nature of analog synthesis is at the heart of synth ’ s architecture . Players can tame or animate the oscillators with an expanded array of multiple filters , envelopes , and LFOs for total control over the analog domain . The PolyBrute ’ s morphing abilities let users perform , compose , and explore sound , such as being able to sweep all the parameter settings between two different patches all at once . It then goes further with its ability to gradually morph between two completely different states within any patch . Providing hands-on control over the morphing is the new Morphée three-dimensional performance touchpad . Players can manipulate any facet of PolyBrute ’ s sound across the X , Y , and Z axis . As well , articulate controllers give performances and compositions a human touch .
The Matrix is the PolyBrute ’ s “ digital brain ” – a hands-on interface that can be used in various modes . In addition to presets , the Mods mode turns the Matrix button grid into a digital patchbay . It can be used to route any of the modulation sources and controllers , with 64 connections and up to 32 modulation destinations .
