What would you want from a DDJ-SZ+?

akakak 9:28 AM - 2 April, 2014
I'm sure everyone has noticed people complaining about hardware faults in the new DDJ-SZ, and various other things. I've moved this post from another thread.

There was a post previously about taking the power back and strength in numbers - and I was like F$CK YEAH! and then there was no suggestion on actually how to do that.

If this unit was perfect, what would it have?

*Post fader FX
*Send/returns
*Perfect platters

I say we compile a list of what we would want from a DDJ-SZ+ and send an open letter to Pioneer with as many signatures as we can get. And we propose that everyone who had a faulty SZ can trade theirs in for an SZ+ at no extra cost.

That feels like step 1. Say what we want, and demonstrate how many people want it.

Please take my list and add what you would want to it. We can't complain about not getting what we want without being clear about what we want.

Every piece of equipment is imperfect to keep consumers buying more again soon

I guess. That seems like a bit of a defeatist attitude! :)

I have a relationship with the development team at Pioneer, I'd be glad to pass along your list

That would be brilliant, DJ Wunder, thank you. :)

How would that work without a display?

The ability to play directly from USB and record to USB .
Displays on the device to se the album artwork and info of the playing track like on the actual cdj's.
Postfader and crossfader fx
Aux sends and return
Full hardware efx with display (like on the djm800)for seting efx on mic chanel and using filters/colur efx simultaniously in the place of the oscilator witch is a uselea gimick in my opinion.
Repleaceble channelfaders and crossfaders
Separate eq for both mic chanels
The ability/opton to record the microphone input in the serato recordings like back in itch with the ns6 .

I never used these - what's so special about them?

Their responsiveness. A truly flagship Pioneer controller would have the same jogs as The CDJs do....not those conductive platters which are prone to malfunction. My friend has a pair of CDJ-1000MK3s that are still just as responsive as the day he bought them almost 8 years ago. I have another friend who bought the DDJ-S1 at launch, and it's platters are still functioning as good as the day she bought it.
