Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX10 4-deck DJ Controller - Black

A New Approach to 4-deck Performance

As the boundaries between beat-making, DJing, sampling, and performance continue to blur, it only feels right that Pioneer DJ would emerge with a groundbreaking new DJ controller to answer the call: DDJ-FLX10. This 4-deck controller was designed to expertly blend the familiar sensibilities of their CDJ and DJM devices with the cutting-edge sonic tools needed to usher your mix into a new world of possibilities. From its powerful FX suite and real-time stem separation to advanced performance-pad functions and onboard, intelligent lighting control, DJs at Ragtime agree: the DDJ-FLX10 marks an unprecedented leap in performance capabilities that DJs of any creed will find completely reimagines what they can do.

Real-time stem separation and control

Coinciding with the release of the DDJ-FLX10 is the rekordbox 6.7, the latest iteration of the program that introduces a previously unavailable tool that makes any standard audio track a viable candidate for deep manipulation and remixing. Real-time part separation can divide a track into three RGB color-coded parts: blue for drums; green for vocals; and red for instruments. These can be individually toggled at any time, and volume and FX can be attenuated and applied to each part, all in real time. This functionality means you could wash the drums with reverb as the track plays, or slowly work the instrumentation and vocals up into the mix as you transition between tracks, all but eliminating the conventional harmonic boundaries imposed by different key signatures. What’s more, the platters will illuminate with the corresponding color to the parts that are being manipulated and display in white when all parts are active.

DJ any way

Out of the box, the DDJ-FLX10 is configured to accommodate both rekordbox and Serato, which can even be done simultaneously. This means that two computers can be connected via dual USB-C ports, each running one of those programs, and seamlessly shift between them as you go back-to-back on the stage. Plus, channels three and four can be toggled between line or phono modes to accommodate turntables, and each deck features its own 3-band EQ, complete with trim controls, and a 3-way source selector. For those looking to craft grooves or juggle samples, a total of 16 performance pads — eight on each side — are available for hot cues, FX, sample recall, keyboard mode, and more, totaling eight different options with the backlit performance pads alone.

Limitless streaming possibilities

The DDJ-FLX10's dual compatibility with rekordbox and Serato doesn't just accommodate creative possibilities of your personal library. Thanks to each DJ software's suite of integrated streaming-platform support, millions of tracks, platform-exclusive releases, and essential playlists are yours to effortlessly weave into your mix. From club classics and the latest heat to undiscovered gems and last-minute requests, works from your favorite DJs, producers, creators, and curators can be used to supercharge your mix. The near-limitless libraries of Apple Music, Tidal, SoundCloud, Beatsource, and Beatport (Serato-only) are at your fingertips.
