Pioneer DDJ-SB Announced

Meet the Pioneer DDJ-SB, the latest in a growing arsenal of controllers that Pioneer has released recently. Smaller than the recently released DDJ-SX and DDJ-SR, the DDJ-SB is designed to be a more portable solution.

Filter Fade

The Pioneer DDJ-SB adds an interesting new feature: filter fade. Filter fade combines the crossfader and filter FX into one control, theoretically combining the crossfade and FX actions in one control/movement. Interested to see this in action in a live environment.

Serato Intro

The DDJ-SB comes bundled with Serato Intro but can be updated to Serato DJ for ~ $130. This is indicates they are aiming for the entry-level market targeting new DJs.

Check out the video below for a walk-through from Pioneer:

One slight downside (in my opinion) is that this controller only sports RCA for the master out.
