Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX10 Review: One Controller To Rule Them All? Beatsource Tech

While at first glance it might look like a simple successor to the DDJ-1000, the Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX10 brings a lot of new elements to the table. Included is support for both Serato DJ Pro and rekordbox, a built-in DMX interface, and advanced workflows for stems, a new feature in the rekordbox software. Mojaxx provides an in-depth review on this episode of #BeatsourceTech.

I could listen to Mojaxx read an old phonebook and he'd still put me in a good mood

[fireworkcrazy]

Brilliant video! I was a superclub DJ for 17 years and was one of the first adopters of playing / mixing MP3's in 2000, we got laughed at back then. Was one of the first to use the original CDJ's and was honoured to have pioneer come to the club one night to ask us what features we'd like to see added. I said, "imagine if you could plug in a USB with all your tracks on it" The industry has changed so much. I haven't dj'd since 2011 but looking to get one of these to "play"

[scratchs]

Wow! I’m glad the 1000 srt’s successor is finally here, and with notable improvements. Those stems effects workflows are dope!

[ryandrouillard]

Just came here to say I’m such a fan of this channel and all the hard work you do Mojaxx. I appreciate you man. Love your vids

[Tc]

Damn, this is a wonderful bit of kit. Time to upgrade the DDJ-1000 and wait for RB to improve the algorithm

[SubOxyde]

I've been DJing for good 8 years and the flexibility is almost too much to wrap my head around. Great work Pioneer. Just hoping they can do more work on that separation algorithm.

[DJPeterLo]

Off topic but mojaxx is looking really good nowadays. I want to do whatever he’s doing.

[percyabba]

Went from Traktor to Engine when I bought sc6000ms. Love the simplicity and the streaming.

[ashleybrownau]

Still hanging on to my Traktor setup, but with new hardware like this and the Rane Four coming out, it gets harder every day not to switch! Love the stems workflow on this and the Rane Four - amazing creative potential.
Thanks for another awesome vid Mojaxx! 🙌

This is honestly the controller I have been waiting for. I got the FLX-6 and was really pleased when it came out, as I feel it was targeted at my skill group, that being decently intermediate. Plenty of pro performance level tools to use, but still simple enough to really learn and get comfortable. But as I have used it more and more, and also used more club style CDJ set ups more and more, I really yearn for those kinds of features on the FLX-6, and this controller fits all of them. Which is really cool. Definitely going to be looking at picking one of these up!

[RobAlahn]

I was/am team Serato but switched to Rekordbox because the playlist feature allowed me to leave my laptop behind at a lot of club gigs where I’d always run into a pair of pioneer CDJs. No Serato Face. And the less I have to carry to a gig the better. If I’m playing video which I do a fair bit whilst streaming from home I like the feature set found in Serato Video. You’ve got another banga review video here Mojaxx! ✊🏽

The price increase stings a bit, but it does include the DMX controller, not just stems and new FX. PioneerDJ could have just added the basic stems, but they didn't, they expanded it to the FX panel too, a very nice touch.
Also DDJ 1000's have been discontinued.

[kontrolr]

I love the way you break out all this into easy to follow bits. But you still blew my mind with the stems mapping options. That is going to allow so much awesome flexibility. I can't wait to see what happens as imaginations run with this..

[soiceyboy]

I was a HUGE fan of Pioneer....until the Rane 4 came out. The paddle FX are much better, as well as the implementation of the one button stem split feature. Also, the Oled screens above the pads are a game changer. I can't see myself using another controller without it

[DJ_BILLY]

My DDJ-1000 Rekordbox backorder got cancelled - I'm stoked for this upgrade! The FX on the stems is a massive advantage

[kcchopz]

As far as Rane vs Pioneer. I fell in love with flicking my fx on the given channel like s9 ect that the fx set up in the bottom corner and having to continuously change the channel to trigger fx makes me like the rane better.

[everydayjumblist]

Mojaxx you're a don. Wasn't too bothered about Stems before but your demo here has changed my mind, I've all sorts of ideas now.

[robinmcara]

The stretch effect would work well on certain breakdowns. Be great for Drum N Bass music.

[dikranpoladian]

Started with Torq, then moved to Traktor, finally finished with rekordbox as it made my life easier to have everything in one place.

I recently switched from djay pro to serato mainly because I wanted to use the rane 4. The work flow is similar but I do miss being able to use multiple streaming platforms at the same time and adding streaming tracks to my crates hopefully these features will eventually come to serato but I can see myself switching back if djay starts fully supporting the rane 4.
