Pioneer DDJ-SR DJ Controller Beta Map For PCDJ DEX 3 Released
Last week we launched the DEX 3 DJ software map for the DDJ-SX, one of the most popular and advanced all-in-one DJ controllers on the market. Today we’re following that up with a beta MAP release for the Pioneer DDJ-SR, the entirely capable little brother to the flagship DDJ-SX.
The Pioneer DDJ-SR is a compact, pro DJ Controller that falls right in line with the Pioneer DDJ controller range as a trimmed down two-deck version of the DDJ-SX. The new Pioneer DDJ-SR has a smaller footprint than the DDJ-SX and adds a new PAD PLUS button that gives the 16-performance pads. The price is right for most DJs that don’t need the 4 deck control the DDJ-SX offers, with most online DJ shops offering it for only $599.99.
After mapping and using the controller for a few weeks now, it’s definitely one of our favorite controllers to use with our best DJ software, DEX 3. It’s constructed well, which shouldn’t be a surprise coming from Pioneer DJ, and offers the same or more than other similarly priced DJ controllers. A great fit for any DJ that uses more of the performance oriented features of DEX 3: scratching, triggering hot cues, looping, etc. It looks fantastic, too.
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS AND NOTES: Unzip the Map (js file) To: DOCUMENTS -> PCDJ-DEX3 -> CONTROLLERS.
IMPORTANT: For the beta MAP of the DDJ-SR, you must delete the WEGO map in the DEX 3 program file folder (package contents on mac) in order to properly use the DDJ-SR Map.
