Pioneer DJ's CDJ-3000 officially supports
StreamingDirectPlay
CDJ-3000 update introduces StreamingDirectPlay support for Beatport Streaming DJs can play tracks
live from the streaming service via the flagship multi player
The feature enables browsing and playing tracks live from the full Beatport
Streaming catalog if the user subscribes to its Professional or Advanced plan, and more.
AlphaTheta Corporation announced a major new firmware update (ver. 3.00) for the
CDJ-3000 multi
player, which introduces StreamingDirectPlay. This new feature enables the user to browse and
play
tracks live from the full Beatport Streaming catalog if the user subscribes to its Professional or
Advanced plan, and allows the user to mix Beatport Streaming tracks with those from rekordbox
CloudDirectPlay for a seamless DJ workflow.
Directly Play Beatport Streaming Tracks From The CDJ-3000
The user can login to Beatport Streaming Professional or Advanced plan1 from a CDJ-3000, browse the
platform's massive catalog and play tracks on up to 4 CDJ-3000 units connected to the PRO DJ LINK
Network. The user can choose from the latest releases, browse different genres, and access playlists
previously saved to his/her personal Beatport account. When loading a track, the CDJ-3000
automatically analyzes its grid so the user can easily understand its progression via the waveform
display and use features such as Quantize and Beat Sync for accurate beat matching and mixing. And
if the user is using a mixer that supports Touch Preview in the PRO DJ LINK network, such as the
DJM-A9, DJM-V10, or DJM-900NXS2, he/she can listen to Beatport Streaming tracks before even loading
them to the CDJ-3000, making track selection much quicker and smoother.
Seamless Workflow With Cloud Integration
For an even smoother workflow, Beatport Streaming combines seamlessly with rekordbox
CloudDirectPlay, a feature that enables the user to access tracks straight from the cloud. BPM and
key information, as well as waveforms analyzed by rekordbox, are transferred to the player when the
user loads a track. Any Hot Cues or Memory Cues that the user edits will be uploaded to the cloud
too, so the user will always have access to his/her latest rekordbox library from anywhere in the
world, whether logged in via PC/Mac, or a CDJ-3000. Moreover, all browsing and track selection can
be done from the screen of the CDJ-3000. This means the user can mix tracks directly from Beatport
Streaming with those from playlists previously uploaded to the cloud via rekordbox2,3, giving the
user ultimate flexibility when it comes to track selection - all without needing to connect a PC/Mac
to the DJ setup.
