Total textural and FX control
Onboard FX divide into two primary categories: Sound Color FX and Beat FX. The former includes space, delay/echo, crush, pitch, noise, and filter options, which when toggled can be attenuated with each channel via dedicated color FX knobs. Beat FX come in 14 flavors that can be applied to individual channels, mics, or the master output via a single control knob with satisfying tactility. The aforementioned FX Part Select is a subsection of this area, complete with color-coded, backlit buttons for part selection. The DDJ-FLX10 also introduces the fantastic new Mix Point Link, a rekordbox-exclusive feature that lets you establish mix-in and mix-out points via Hot Cues, automatically beginning to transition tracks at the assigned points so you can focus on managing FX and other creative transitions.
Keep it on the beat
Those familiar with the CDJ- and DJM-series of products will feel right at home, as the DDJ-FLX10 uses the same jog platters as the CDJ, including a Jog Feel adjustment knob to make them as stiff or loose as you'd prefer. Loop-in/out buttons and the browser knob are in the same positions as the DJM and CDJ-3000, respectively. Still, the DDJ-FLX10 introduces a new, dedicated 4-beat loop button, complete with division and doubling buttons to quickly adjust and assign loop points. Though the Beat Jump buttons replace the traditional Track Search, they function nearly identically. Holding the buttons will search as previously designed, while a click makes a 4-beat jump, and shift-click jumps by 16 beats.
Light up the night with ease
Out of the box, this controller features a dedicated DMX output and compatibility with rekordbox Lighting Mode, accommodating up to 512 DMX channels without additional processing hardware. Just open up rekordbox, assign your lights, and you're ready to go. rekordbox will even perform what's called "phrase analysis," intelligently mapping the dynamic range of activity for each track to optimize lighting to match the hype. Of course, if you prefer to create your own sequence, or modify from rekordbox's own intelligent light show, these adjustments can be saved and stored for reliable, repeated use.
