Pioneer has a bunch of DJ controllers that it offers on the market today, and the one thing they tend to have in common is they are very expensive. If you ever thought it might be cool to learn how to be a professional DJ, but you didn’t want to spend thousands on your own DJ controller check out the new DDJ-WeGo. Pioneer says this is the least expensive DJ controller it’s ever offered.

The device will be available in September at an MSRP of $399 (USD). That price includes Virtual DJ Limited Edition software supporting Windows and Mac computers. The device doesn’t need an AC outlet to operate, getting its power from the USB port on your computer.

It comes in five different body colors including white, black, red, green, and violet. It has dual jog FX wheels, pulse control with lights for real-time feedback, and built-in audio ports. The device also has an integrated sound card for music storage and portability.

If you were twiddling your thumbs waiting for Pioneer’s XDJ-AERO to come out, you might want to head on over to iTunes or the Play store instead. Why? Because the mobile rekordbox companion app for iOS and Android has just been released. If you were thinking it’d just be a basic music management tool, then you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Sure, you can import tracks, to then play on the XDJ-AERO (and other Pioneer DJ products that support WiFi), but you can also set up loop points, hot cues, analyze tracks, create playlists, and even experiment with ideas on the fly. This means you can get your tracks prepped up wherever you are, and turn up to the party good to go, be it on your own gear or a friends’. This is also what you’ll need if you want to make use of the forthcoming controller’s WiFi functionality, although it can also be used to connect with the desktop version of the program if you’re already using it. The app is free, and available now, just head down to the source to line those beats up.

Pioneer today introduced the XDJ-AERO, which is known as the industry’s first WiFi-enabled all-in-one DJ system and native rekordbox player.

The XDJ-AERO also creates its own private Wi-Fi network, allowing you to connect to up to four wireless devices simultaneously. What’s more, the Pioneer XDJ-AERO also functions as a 24-bit audio interface, MIDI controller for Traktor and HID controller for Virtual DJ software.
