Pioneer DJ launches the REMIX-STATION 500 effects unit

Pioneer DJ is giving DJs and producers the most easy-to-use multi-effects unit yet: the engaging REMIX-STATION 500 (RMX-500). The lightweight effector takes some of the best features from the top-flight RMX-1000, but gains a more simplified layout, on-board customisation, and ingenious one-handed control of multiple parameters.
 
The RMX-500 boasts the industry’s first Pressure Controller knobs – one for the Rhythm FX and drum machine, and one for Scene FX. DJs can rotate the knobs to manipulate the wet/dry balance, and then press to modulate sub-parameters – making multi-layered FX more accessible for unlimited creativity.
