Pioneer DJ Smart DJ Controller (DDJ-200)

I’m often on the move, so getting a bulky powerful controller was not an option. I needed something small, reliable, sturdy and versatile. Long story short, this product does the trick! Sure, the basic design of DDJ-200 lacks some important buttons like browsing/loading controls and switching between different pad modes. But some of these features can be mapped for the pads. For instance, instead of using 8 pads for hot cues, you can use only the top 4, and facilitate the bottom ones for FX, loops or whatever you need for the gig. The thing also works great with Traktor software through custom mappings that can be found online. Build quality is great. Everything just “clicks” and works exactly as you would expect out of the box. Have not tried it via Bluetooth: only tried with usb + pc and Rekordbox/Traktor. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a first controller to kinda decide whether you actually like turning the knobs and pulling the faders. It gives you a close enough DJ experience (unlike super-tiny controllers like DJ2go2 and other “portables”) yet you can easily carry it in a mid-sized backpack. Great for bedroom gigs, friends’ parties and just having some creative fun at home. Satisfies with the purchase and would recommend!

There is no proper training module available to show how to transfer a playlist to iphone to play DDJ200

Nice and easy to use ! Good buy for people trying to learn to dj! Its got a nice feel to it ! 👌🏼

Overall DDJ 200 is best for beginners..... It doesn't have music selector nor headphone jack on hardware but it is okay as a beginner

worst product not supported for many softwares and it is not a good controller for begineers nothing you will learn

Product is good , very much I like this In virtual dj software we want buy license Because 10 minutes only connection working So we want put license in virtual dj

Not good as numark

Its important to read the product description here to understand what this controller is about. It appears some of the other reviewers here didn't do that! NO it doesn't have an inbuilt soundcard. it uses the sound from your mobile device or Computer/laptop (as stated in the description) and that works great. NO you cannot use the controller to control all features of the DJ software, ie. searching for the next track. You will need to interact with the DJ software on laptop/mobile device. NO it doesn't support Spotify. But NO controller/ DJ Software does as of 01/07/2020. Spotify seems to have changed their policies here. I was fully aware of what it can and cannot do before buying. HOWEVER i was still disappointed after i got it and set it up. WHY? The WEDJ software. I have an original iPhone SE so it is absolutely tiny on that screen. OK, I could have lived with that but the software was very slow to load tracks to the respective decks and analyse the BPM. It even doubled the BPM on some tracks for some reason. This meant that drum n bass was playing at twice the speed!! Two flyers in the packaging told me that the software is also compatible with the DJAY app and EDJING. However, after checking the app store I saw that the "pro" versions were only available with subscriptions. The pro versions have pretty essential features, like headphone cueing. As I didn't want to sign up for extra costs and I didn't like WEDJ, I decided that the DDJ 200 was not for a me. A realshame as I was impressed with the hardware. The next day I had a change of heart and thought maybe a monthly subscription wouldn't be so bad, so I installed the DJAY app on my iPad. I followed the instructions to connect it the the controller and that worked perfectly. I just wanted to try the App with the controller, assuming I wouldn't be able to access the "pro" feature, like headphone cueing. HOWEVER, to my surprise after connecting the controller the headphone cueing feature suddenly became available! GREAT! I had all the feature I need to get DJing. The point is - if you are unhappy with the WEDJ software on your phone, give DJAY a go!! You don't have to pay for a monthly subscription to get the features you need. its so much better than WEDJ and works really well with the controller, no lagging no glitches. I have therefore decided to keep the controller and I'm really happy with it!! I just wanted a device to use to DJ at home in my spare time, no professional kit needed. The bonus of this device is its portability. You can connect it to a power bank and set it up in a garden, park, by the pool, whatever. Its also very light and can fit easily in a rucksack. All the essential buttons and knobs/sliders are nice and large and have a good "feel" to them. Nothing feels cheap or loose. The jog wheels are compact but also feel great. Hope the review helps and stops anyone from being put off just because of the WEDJ software! five stars for Pioneer. Well done for coming up with a controller for the masses UPDATE: The WeDj software is actually not that bad. I have it a second try and figured out a few settings. It certainly works and for free version it gets the job done.

This controller is perfect for beginners! It’s light weight, and does not need to be connected to any outlets besides your laptop (your laptop must connect to the speakers using the splitter) it gets you familiarized with Rekordbox. This little thing is perfect to get the basics of mixing down. I learned within a few months and DJ’d at a few clubs with it and its was the best moments of my life :,) The only issue is that the sound is not loud enough so it’s not ideal for club settings tbh because I’d have to max up the volume a lot of times, but this controller is perfect to learn and it will absolutely help you towards learning and mastering intermediate controllers.

Really good product for the price it is
