The controllers introduce buttons for new features in today's rekordbox 4.1.1 software update, including Sequence Call, which lets you create and save sample sequences then play them back without touching your computer. The DDJ-RB and DDJ-RR are also the first controllers to support PC Master Out, for playing master output through your computer’s internal speakers or a connected desktop speaker while using the controller for your headphones at the same time. Both new controllers come bundled with rekordbox dj performance software.

The entry-level USB-powered DDJ-RB is all you need to get started with rekordbox dj performance software. The layout handles like a pro-DJ set-up with play/cue buttons, jog wheels and a VU level meter. You can use the Performance Pads to trigger Hot Cues, Beat Jump, Pad FX and Slicer, plus there’s a button for the new Sequence Call feature. The lightweight, flexible controller supports PC Master Out and is perfect for use on the move – fitting snugly into the new DJC-B/WEGO3+BAG protective carry bag, available separately.

The DDJ-RR adds to these features, packing in all the traits of a pro-DJ set-up. Stay in control with large jog wheels, illuminating on-jog indicators and customisable multicoloured Performance Pads. Get creative with Slip Mode and Release FX, and hit the new Sequence Load button to load your sample sequences to the deck to scratch them. Multiple inputs and outputs give you flexible connectivity and the option to use the DDJ-RR with rekordbox dj software or as a stand-alone 2-channel mixer using multiplayers or turntables.

The DDJ-RB and DDJ-RR are available from late May. Both controllers come bundled with the rekordbox dj Plus Pack.

The DJC-B/WEGO3+BAG protective carry bag, designed for the DDJ-RB, DDJ-SB, DDJ-SB2 and DDJ-WeGO3, is available from late May (Europe only).

KEY FEATURES OF THE DDJ-RB

1. Controller layout mirrors rekordbox dj for native control
   Mix instinctively with the jog wheels, play/cue buttons, mixer knobs and faders, gain pots, VU meter and dedicated loop buttons built to mirror the rekordbox dj layout.
2. PC Master Out – use computer's speaker for master out and controller for headphones
   For flexibility you can choose to hear your mix through your computer's internal speaker/connected desktop speaker or play through a wireless speaker, while using your headphones to cue independently of the master out at the same time.
3. Performance Pads with Sequence Call for creative freedom
   Create sample sequences then call them up without touching your computer thanks to the new Sequence Call button. Plus trigger Hot Cues, Pad FX, Beat Jump and Slicer with eight Performance Pads.

   • Built-in sound card – simply connect the DDJ-RB to your computer with a USB cable
   • Record to rekordbox dj via the same USB cable
