SF Marketing Inc. is pleased to announce that Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc., the leader in ProDJ products and the innovator of the CD turntable, has unveiled the latest addition to its family of CD turntables, the CDJ-400. The CDJ-400 combines a sampling of features found in the different levels of Pioneer’s CDJ series with the simplicity of a standard CD turntable, including USB1 integration and MP3 playback, MIDI support, scratching capability, scratch jog effect and a variety of looping functions. The CDJ-400 will be available in January 2008 with an MSRP of $785. “Pioneer is making it easy to get more control of digital music mixing by developing products like the CDJ-400,” said Mark MacLellan, Product Manager for Pioneer at SF Marketing Inc. “We’re excited to add the CDJ-400 to our always growing list of Pioneer products as this player is very affordable for DJs. The CDJ-400 is packed with features that are ideal for different levels of DJs, from the ‘newbies’ to the professional DJs who want to better manipulate their DJ computer software.” A highlight and an advancement of the CDJ-400 is its scratching capability.

Three highlighted buttons, each assigned to a special effect, Bubble, Trans and Wah, creates unique scratching sound effects that can be enabled by the DJ on the fly. The CDJ-400’s cosmetic design is simple and compact yet elegant with all of its various controls and features located directly on top of the unit. A USB port found on the face of the player allows DJs to play their MP3 music collection from a wide variety of portable music devices.

In this mode, the CDJ-400 is a native controller for software such as PCDJ and SERATO® Scratch LIVE3.
