Our initial impression of the Pioneer RMX-1000 (now also available in white as the Pioneer RMX-1000-W) changed once we were demoed it at Musikmesse 2012, in the video you can watch here. While it is still relatively expensive, you can use it in ways that mean for the serious DJ, even the digital DJ, there’s a case to be made for including something like this in your workflow.
Put aside the fact that you can use it as a VST plugin, with the hardware becoming basically a Midi controller for all the functions (which you have to admit is nice). What we liked most about it was that you can configure it in software, and take those settings to a gig with you.
