Leaked images of Denon‘s new media player – the DJ SC5000 – have surfaced, raising a lot of eyebrows in the tech world.
The new product, featured below, is almost identical to the aesthetic of Pioneer’s classic controller build, including cue point buttons and a screen that depicts the waveform.
Here is a list of what we know thus far, courtesy of DJ Tech Tools:
- 8 performance buttons below the deck – for cues, loops, rolls, slicer
- On-jog display (that appears to show album artwork!)
- Built in slip mode
- A loop encoder – with a “loop move” label underneath it. This could be a huge advantage over Pioneer’s limited loop move functionality on CDJ/XDJs
- A large screen that shows coloured waveforms, song section labels, beatgrid, track information, Camelot Wheel key data, and more
- Censor/Reverse button
- Sync and Master functionality
- Adjustable pitch range as well as pitch bend buttons (a first on standalone players?)
- Beat Jump in place of Track Search
- USB, SD, and network link-based track storage (USB and SD card appear to be front-loading from below the cue buttons)
More details on the DJ SC5000 is set to shared this week. Do you think this will give Pioneer a run for it’s money?
