No.

Blue makes happy :-)

(statement from Silvester Stallone in Rambo III) :-D

Is that a hardware issue or software?

Hardware

Hi bbnation,

The pads in the DDJ-SX are only blue. You can not use any other colours, this is a hardware limitation.

Regards

Is that possible to just change the led in the pad ? If that what kind of led it's I need to put in the pads?

no it can't happen

It doesn't have the circuitry etc, even if you could put LEDs in

No the units LED's in the pads can not be replaced.

If you do open the unit to change the LED's up you will void your warranty and we will be unable to provide support for your unit.

Regards

I don't go for SZ because of the size. SX size are perfect.

Imo Pionner should release newer version of SX.

1. Add colors to the pads.

2. Put Sound color FX and Oscillator

3. SZ Jogle dispaly

then I'm very satisfied :)

SX MKII barely one year after release is highly unlikely but who knows with Pioneer's release shcduling. The CDJ's seem to have cycles but the controllers are anyone's guess. Look how long the WegoMK1 lasted before the MKII came out.

I hope soo. I have emailed Pioneer and ask if they have plan to realse some kind like that. But I have also heard that Pioneer gonna leave DDJ and the SZ was the last production of "DDJ" category.

That is straight from their mouths. Like I said highly unlikely. Why not just go for the SZ? I mean it's probably too late to get one within the first month or two but after the rush.

Although the sz completed the ddj RANGE, doesn't mean there won't be mk2s. Ford have a range of cars but update each model ever 4-5yrs. Still the same range though.

But considering the extra functions that can be built into the SX, surely they would just do that

I wouldn't at all count on logic like that simply because someone else does. There is more than a possibility but expecting it is far from realistic. Hope seems like the more fitting word/concept here. This would then open the door wide open for the "expecters" who own the DDJ-SP1, DDJ-SR, etc.

Or why just not SZ but in a same size like SX.

also release new SZ even in a smaller size like SX

The features included within/on the SZ are what caused the larger size. You CAN NOT increase the size of platters, performance pads, & add more buttons/features without increasing the size of the landscape to place them. It's simple physics. Possibly a SR (eg two channels instead of four) type of thing would be the answer.

We'll it's now a year later and surprise, surprise. the ddj-sx2 is out and it's a big hit

Over a year after that was said yes but the SX2 was (in all fairness to Pioneer) just under two years after the SX. SX was Nov. 2012 and SX2 was Oct. 2014. They have seemed to slow down a bit since then but Rekordbox DJ will bring on a whole new line I assume. Also while the SX2 is an amazing controller I don't know if any controller will have the impact the SX did as it pretty much started it all. I mean Vestax can probably be credited with bringing controllers to a professional level but as most things go it's not "real" until Pioneer puts their spin on it LOL.

on the DDJ-SZ can u change the pattern on the jog wheels ?
