With the newly released Serato DJ Pro and Serato DJ Lite there also comes new hardware in the shape of Pioneer DJ's DDJ-SB3. The DDJ-SB3 unlocks Serato DJ Lite out of the box and can be upgraded to be used with Serato DJ Pro with the purchase of a license or subscription.
The DDJ-SB3 improves on the wildly popular DDJ-SB2 with requested hardware upgrades and also the introduction of completely new, unique features.
Key Features
Intuitive Layout
All of the features were designed to be where you need them, when you need them. The layout inherits elements from Pioneer's DDJ-S series with jog wheels, Performance Pads, play and cue buttons, independent Auto Loop buttons and all knobs and fader positions arranged in an easy-to-reach way that mimics professional gear.
Pad Scratch
Add scratch effects to cued and currently playing songs without a turntable thanks to Pad Scratch. This new effect lets you reproduce, and create patterns from, eight of hip hop legend DJ Jazzy Jeff’s different scratch recordings. As the speed automatically matches the BPM, you won’t need to worry about breaking rhythm.
FX Fade
Whether you’re an experienced DJ or beginner, mixing is seamless with the FX Fade feature. By reducing the volume and applying FX at the same time, FX Fade smoothly blends tracks – even those from clashing genres. Choose eight combinations of the following four FX patterns – high pass filter, low pass filter, loop playback and backspin.
Durable Design
The DDJ-SB3 is constructed from premium materials and audio circuitry. Its robust build ensures durability, while the distinctive styling and aluminium jog wheel deliver a professional feel.
Large Jog Wheels
It may be compact, but the DDJ-SB3 features large, low-latency jog wheels to give you great scratch response and accuracy.
Serato DJ Lite & Serato DJ Pro Intergration
The first controller designed for Serato DJ Lite. The DDJ-SB3 unlocks Lite out of the box when plugged in. For an advanced experience with a vast array of more features, you can upgrade to Serato DJ Pro for $99USD or subscribe for only $9.99 USD per month.
