Pioneer DJM-700

[rancho]

Delivering breathtaking scope for creativity, consummate clarity and a world first in terms of its Effect Frequency Filter, the new DJM-700 is dramatically different.

The 4-channel mixer inherits the sound quality of the DJM-800 and DJM-1000, it also includes some key features including MIDI connectivity, 49 assignables, cutting edge digital effects and a filter on pre-out so you can filter the effects.

Boasting 32-bit DSP [Digital Signal Processing] , 13 beat effects and enhanced roll sampler in what is an extremely familiar format for DJs, t his new kit on the block is definitely in a class of its own .

With an industry-standard size and layout and a dual shield structure that eliminates digital noise, the new DJM-700 is both robust and reliable.

Setting a new industry standard for quality mid-market mixers, the DJM-700 allows DJs to transmit unique musical flows using a formidable range of features.

Designed to impress in bar, club and studio spaces alike the DJM-700 is set to have a wide appeal.

nice

[richcur]

So in other words it's a DJM600 with MIDI and a separate controllable filter?

Whats the difference between this and the 800?

[trashy]

for about $1k it would be ok...

[jarrardscott]

isnt this exactly the same as an 800 but with a frequency filter?

[richcur]

Whats the difference between this and the 800?

Colour effects for one - although it's a thin margin with the addition of that filter above the effects area

Fks me why else you'd get this instead of the 800 though

thats why i think it needs to be substantially cheaper...

[cheekyage]

sorry for the newbie question but what is a frequency filter?

any ideas when this will be released here in oz?

[Pro Tool]

This looks SHIT. It just means that cheapass clubs will get this instead of the 800. And you basically get to love and rely on those colour FX.

So it's got a filter that doesn't automatically sweep. Fucking GREAT ONE guys, shame they couldn't see the use in that 3 models ago.

[Arca]

i dont get why they have made this at all, it hasnt even been that long since the 800 was released

[cowabungadude]

look better than this one at least

[Fergus]

Meh...I'd still settle for the 800. Xone 92 FTW anyway

[Garthyboy]

I don't get it

I really don't see where Pioneer want this to sit on there market line....entry level 4 channel?

I am thinking the 1K mark may allow them to shift quite a few units though......but undoubtedly they will over price it

[Brendonism]

Would they not just be ditching the 600 in favour of this?

ie:

DJM400 - $1000
DJM700 - $1500
DJM800 - $2000

[skitz000]

Is this the same roll sampler from the 800? this is main reason i want to upgrade to the 800 and if the 700 is priced well below the 800 i would seriously consider purchasing it

[jarrardscott]

except djm800 is averaging @ 1800 lately.
so it should be at least 1400
@ 1400 itd prob be worth it in comparison to the djm800
any more, its worth spending the extra cash

[Garthyboy]

Isn't the roll function just a simple bar looper?

Why not get one of the external boxes that do the exact same thing and a whole lot more?

[blakenelson]

Wasn't the 700 a april fools joke?

[ac1d3o3]

Who cares.. Just get the korg zero4 :D

[oliosky]

Who cares.. Just get the korg zero4 :D

Absolutely! And its supposedly around the same price as a NUO5. Fuck that pioneer. I reckon they should have made a mixer in between the 400 and 800, a 3 channel matrix input thing with a booth out, balanced outputs and a decent x-fader, THEN pioneer would have had a decent mid range mixer. Meh.

[ekwipt]

and no digital outputs fuk that, 800 or bust

[cheekyage]

Looks like the 700 will be hitting our shores in December/January.

RRP still unknown at this stage.

this is what is making me nervous about going down the 800 route. I can find my way through keys allready
& im worried the whole colour thing could dumb down my ability at blending keys that work together.... I try to pick tunes with key blending in mind, so mixing on a set up where I dont need to do this all the time would effect me alot when I cant use a cdj800, because I will have lost some of the feel Ive built up over the years

kind of like a guitar/piano player who bought a guitar/piano that would make anything he played 100% musically correct. take that guitar away from him and how good would he be? surely he would suffer negatively because he will have got use to not having to finger his keys 100% correct

[Pro Tool]

I don't use the harmonic colour effect it just sounds too bad. But the filters are hella useful.

[Portal]

It has a robot effect. SOLD!

[cowabungadude]

excuse my ignorance but what do they do?

[richcur]

You shouldn't really rely on the harmonic effect on the 800 to key-mix... try doing it without and you'll train your ears twice as fast to be able to do it on any mixer anywhere

[jarrardscott]

i find using the harmonic effect on the djm800 is awesome when your playing a vinyl at a high or low tempo according to its norm. you can bring it back to sound normal, kinda like the master tempo switch on a cdj isnt it? (in that regards)

[chappo_85]

QFT. The colour effect filters are sexy as to mix with. Only used a Xone once so I haven't really had the pleasure of getting to know the filters on that very well, but damn they were fun to muck around with!

[McE86]

would make a good modern replacement to the djm600. but personally i would save the extra $$s and get the 800, those colour effects are sweet as to mix with.

[Bracko]

pioneer doing everything they can to stop progression and rely on a solid marketing tool behind an average to regressive product.

only materialistic morons would fall for thi....... oh wait, I'm in the DJ forum aren't i... :(

[ekwipt]

excuse my ignorance but what do they do?


Actually i was wrong they do have the digital output of the 800.

cowabungadude: 24bit 96khz output

Although it only has one set of XLR and two RCAs

unbalanced RCA are more susceptible to noise

[crazy_tripper]

is it still the same shitty faders that are on the 600? because every time i'd scratch and a lot of times when i'd do some sort of cut with the volume faders the fucking knob would come off

[oliosky]

You supposedly have to pay extra for the black model too. Apple macbook style :s

[DSILVR]

I reckon thats fucken sick man. :) :rock:

[entropy1]

any idea how much this will be?

[silvaside]

Why would they want to sell something that reminds everyone of the shittiest mixer they ever made?

I guess there in breeds the exact same issue that master tempo has bought along imo....tracks being played WAY too far up or down tempo from what they should be.

[rancho]

stick a small bit of bluetac on the fader and then stick the knob on. works a treat :thumb:

[crazy_tripper]

ah okay. yeah, i pretty much only ever use them at clubs that have them (which thankfully isn't as many as it used to be)

[BRINGBACKDABIBZ]

first learn how to beatmatch

[cowabungadude]

way to bring back a thread from the dead

[johnjay]

bottom half seems like the 600 top the 800,

why the hell would you get this over the 800, apart from price if it is to be cheaper

[Nick Vidal]

I don't use the harmonic colour effect it just sounds too bad. But the filters are hella useful.

same. the harmonic effect thing makes things sound like shite, plus if you're doing it properly you shouldn't need them anyway

Store DJ have it on sale at $1649 with the 800 only $150 more

[paul_mechanic]

nice but i still prefer my 800

lol

[BUZNUT]

im upgrading from a dxm06 to the djm700 ive ben researching heaps on this 700 vs 800 battle. the only main difference between them besides effects and filters is the 800 has the weighted faders where the 700 doesnt. im going the 700 because the 800 is the industry standard and the 700 is almost an exact replica, so for home practice use it suites me fine. same reasons i went the cdj800 mkII over the 1000,s i cant justify the price for home use. my 2 cents worth.

[macc4]

:ninja: prefer the djm909

[Abe_T]

wow looks nice very colourful
