Evolution

The new CDJ-2000s were officially released last night at Midnight Cali time, and i am insanely impressed. Not only did they have the expected mp3/usb/sc card compatibility, but new effects like Needle Search? I can see how useful that is already. Might as well have taken out the previous search keys. The new player incorporates the best of all worlds, with an auto 4 beat that can decide for itself what you were thinking, and jumps to the nearest beat if you juuust missed it. It's like having the 800's loop bank in one button. Hot Cues are still hot cues, which are great. I've kinda skirted the main addition, which is the new music library function. Basically, it provides DJs with the ability to fuck CDs. Which is useful. My CDs are already taking up way too much room in my tiny ass dorm. Basically I wish i had them. Time to start saving...

Also available are the CDJ-900s! The 900 is the toned down, probably cheaper, version of the 2000. Instead of Hot Cues, they keep the Hot Loops from the 800's. The don't have Needle Search or the built in "roll effect." I'm curious to see how each of these will fare. I've always wondered why Pioneer keeps the Hot Loops/Hot Cues seperate from each other. Hmm..
