The layout of the DDJ-FLX4's controls makes it easy for you to learn how to DJ and has been taken from Pioneer's professional DJ products: everything is easy to use and clearly laid out. What's more, the controller is compact enough to take with you wherever you want to rehearse or perform. Don't know how to mix yet? Don't worry: with the Smart Fader function, you can get started right away. It automatically adjusts the volume, bass level and BPM so you can create clean transitions between your tracks by simply moving the channel faders or crossfader. And with Smart CFX, you can conjure up a combination of effects to add drama to your sound. All you have to do is turn a knob.
