Pioneer DJ surprised us with the DDJ-FLX6 controller for Rekordbox (here’s our DDJ-FLX6 review). We were expecting the company to launch a “DDJ-600”, to fit in between the two-channel consumer DDJ-400 and the two-channel pro DDJ-800. Instead, we got the DDJ-FLX-6. Sure, it has four channels, but it also is clearly aimed at a very different market segment.
In this article, then, we’ll look at five things you should know before buying this unit.
If you were expecting a “DDJ-600” from Pioneer DJ, you’ll likely be disappointed by this – too under-powered where it counts, and a bit too gimmicky, despite the great jogs.
