The Pioneer DJ PLX-CRSS12 is a game changing deck -- the world's first to offer DVS control of digital music via DJ software as well as analog playback of vinyl records, helping artists take their performances to the next level.

Never worry about needle skipping again when you use the PLX-CRSS12 in DVS mode with Serato DJ Pro or rekordbox. The tone arm free playback means artists can scratch a real analog record as vigorously as they like without fear of missing a beat. And when they want to play a record the traditional way, they can simply switch the deck to Analog mode and use the tone arm as normal.

The PLX-CRSS12 can adapt to suit the artist style. By adjusting the rotation dial on the included MAGVEL CLAMP, artists can change how "heavy" or "light" the record feels. Artists can also adjust the turntable's torque level in the utility settings, and there are 3 stopping speeds to choose from.

At first glance, artists will see how the PLX-CRSS12 has been designed for fluid scratching and intuitive performances. And when they look closer, they'll notice features that enable a greater level of control and creativity. The battle-style layout leaves plenty of room for scratching and there are 4 MIDI-mappable Performance Pads too. Artists can also keep an eye on crucial information via the OLED display.

Features:

• Tone-arm-free DVS control removes needle skipping in Digital Vinyl mode, no matter how hard users scratch.
• The MAGVEL CLAMP holds the record firmly in place, enabling it to directly control the digital music file, giving users the true feeling of vinyl without the tonearm.
• When playing analog records, the experience will be just like using the popular PLX-1000.
• The MAGVEL CLAMP dial allows users to find the perfect "weight" setting. The amount of torque will be increased or decreased to make the record feel lighter or heavier without changing or adjusting slip mats or slip sheets.
• Users can adjust the turntable's torque level in the utility settings.
• There are 3 deck-stopping speeds to choose from via a switch on the front of the unit.
• 4 built-in MIDI-mappable Performance Pads
• The built-in OLED display allows performers to easily locate the tempo range and key when Step Pitching with Analog or Digital Vinyl mode.
• A switching power supply is used to eliminate transformer power supply vibration and flux leakage while suppressing unwanted noise, creating high-resolution sound quality.
• Replaceable MAGVEL CLAMP
• Compatible with Serato DJ Pro (coming this autumn) and rekordbox.
• Connect unit to a PC/Mac with DJ software installed, and to a mixer that supports the DVS function of the respective DJ software, to use Digital Vinyl mode and the Performance Pads.
