About this product
The Pioneer DJ DDJ-XP2 is an add-on controller for rekordbox DJ and Serato DJ Pro software. Priced at $349.00, it expands control with 16 performance pads, 4 pad modes, and touch strip effects. It connects via USB and is designed to complement existing DJ controllers or mixers. The DDJ-XP2 offers features like Pad FX, Beat Jump, and Sampler control, enhancing creative possibilities. It is a standalone unit but requires compatible software and hardware setup. Built with Pioneer's trademark solid quality, it's aimed at professional DJs seeking extra performance control.
Our take
The DDJ-XP2 has been a fantastic addition to my rekordbox setup. The pads are responsive and the touch strip adds a new dimension for effects. I love how seamlessly it integrates with my existing gear, and the pad modes are well thought out. However, at $349, it's pricey for an add-on, especially when some controllers include similar features. It also lacks a sound card, so it won't replace your main interface. If you're heavily into performance and need extra pad control, it's worth it. But for casual DJs, the cost might not justify the benefit. Build quality is excellent as expected from Pioneer.
