PIONEER BUILT MY DREAM DEVICE! PLX-CRSS12 HYBRID TURNTABLE / CONTROLLER - FIRST LOOK 

pioneer is absolutely not playing around ,they are killing the game right now and even at this price point it is right there with the 1200's and your getting more for your buck

Love the technology with these turntables worth every penny 2 in 1 can’t beat that best of both worlds

That looks an absolute beast of a machine , Pioneer not messing about . Top notch

I've been wanting this for years. I just didn't know how to implement. Pioneer figured it out. Can't wait to feel this unit on my fingers.

I just bought myself a pair, and these just stomped on all turntables. Yes, even Technics

Thanks so much for this sneak peek! Phase was a great advancement, and the Rane 12's are certianly dope, but I've been waiting for something to bring together that same sort of functionality while still being able to play my records, and it seems it's finally here! I'll definetly be keeping my eyes on this one. Can't wait for a full review!

Thank you. A product overview that doesn't take half an hour. I'll stick with my 8000s and Phase for the time being. Cheers

Its, perfect. Dude they finally did it, and i just upgraded to a pionner ddj rr. Gotta start saving up again and get myself one of those.

These are on my Christmas wish list to myself, they solve a lot of problems.

Just Fantastic!

Thank you for your review bro I would’ve gotten it but for the price and just having phase I’m fine with what I have atm. This is definitely a game changer I love how it really is different with the stem feature plus the adjusting of how the record will feel loving what pioneer is doing! - DJKhrisLopez

TLM, your scratch chops are always on point 😎😎

So good to see you still going at it! And damn that little intro scratch though 👌👌👌

Wat een monster van een draaitafel zeg! Mooie review, helaas ook voor mij (nog) niet haalbaar. Goals!

im not even a scratch dj and still this is cool, maybe it works with traktor one day

You tha man DJ TLM! good review. @Pioneer Please send the man a full set, lets continue the review Pt2.

man i am in love.I come from vinyl and i have the Rane 12s but i have a large vinyl collection which need decent turntables .Boom there you go

I still got a pair of Numark CDX tables. These things came out like 16 years ago and mine still work. I use them to control Traktor. I have the control disk code ripped as an mp3 file on the hard drive. It has a full sized platter on top and feels just like sratching on vinyl.

Great review my friend, looks like a dope controller/turntable!

This is a great idea. Thanks. For the video

If you look under the deck, there is cable routing so you can easily route the power cable to where the RCAs are in battle style, or vice versa in standard. That was intentionally designed that way.

Thanks buurman, was really curious when I saw it being presented, now I know what it's all about!

great energy

I've been wanting to learn how to scratch more. This might be the device that pushes me toward making that a reality.

Being mostly techno/house music dj aficionado (couple 100s vinyls in my collection) that is looking very promising to have both decks and controllers if i feel tipsy when mixing ,tbh looks like a fooking banger to me;)

Great review! I'm just disappointed in Technics for not stepping up and doing something like this.

Your scratching was absolute fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

*FINALLY!* I was planning on eventually adding turntables to my NS7 II, but Serato's sudden discontinuation of the controller for no good reason put a wrench in those plans. Now I don't have to buy an NS7 III (which is practically the same damn controller) and pray that it doesn't get discontinued soon as well. I can just buy this! Thank you for making me aware of this turntable! Can't wait until it releases! (edit: $1300 *each!?!?!?!?* Well...) *Edit 2:* Aww, why'd you un-❤ my comment? :(

Good to see you out. Getting a little meaty under the chin. Life is good. All you tutorials are golds in my book.

thats incredible. never seen such technology

We share the same dream haha. They look amazing bro.

Nice for Professionals and DJ Tech Nerds but let's be honest - for the rest who also plays vinyl, a good mixer and control DVS is more than enough.

Great video Awesome Thank you

Yeah thats looking real healthy...

thanks bro needed this ( New subscriber) Locked in

Stellar

This hybrid turntable artists quite the double header features with ability for both analog playback .

Phase killer!

Been waiting to find a video where someone really cuts on these, and now I'm sold!

Dope! I didn’t know pioneer had a new turntable out.

Good Job My G👊💥💥💥💥💥💥

Pioneer is the winner 🔥🔥🔥

ingenius

These are a beasts!! I remember when Technic 1200s were $400😅😅😅 brand new.

Nuff Respect TLM..Big John

Great content thanks

Great review salute my brother

As much as people think this new Pioneer hybrid turntable is so great, the Reloop RP-8000 MK2 hybrid came out 4 years ago and still is the number one Hybrid turntable.

Dope

I'm with you... When you get yours Ill have to get mines LOL

thats interesting cutting just using the slipmatt.... might open up some super fast stabs

Got get 2 of them soon 😮

it is game changer

…this turntable is awesome, but I bet the MK II will have a digital screen read out on it, like the Rane Twelve MK II… I’ll wait… Awesome review TLM!!! 👍🏾

So thats just like a Round Phase Remote. I wish phase would have made those things round.

like the man said the deck for me would be where i control my stems and cue points on the mixer

🔥🔥🔥

Well, I bought this device myself twice as the next big DJ thing. Of course, it makes fun to use it, no doubt about that. It feels also worthy. BUT there are a few downsides that Pioneer could have done better: 1. The height adjustment doesn't do much, the tone arm is still low above the platter in heighest position 2. For a hybrid device I expect the platter to play the song nearly as fast as a jog wheel. However, I think this is mechanical not possible, since it is still a turntable. 3. You can't slow down the platter using the centered spindle for fine adjustments. 4. I'll be fine with it that Pioneer doesn't ship a needle, since every DJ might use a different one. But I'm missing a drill hole for the needle's saver, there would be enough space left on the turntable for it. 5. The lamp isn't replacable. I think this comes to since it is a two-in-one lamp: Speed and search light. 6. no 78 rpm runtime 7. No feelable click nor any lamp at 0 tempo adjustment. 8. The slipmat is thiner than usual ones. Why not standard thickness Pioneer? 9. A track selection wheel on the turntuble would complete this nice thing. So, in conclusion, it's a pleasure to use it, but definitively not worth the money with those drawbacks. I'll keep mine, but I'm not satisfied with it.

Dope!!!! I mean sometimes you got to pay for what you want and quality.🤷🏾‍♂️

❤ love this, but so many djs now own phase and Rane 12s. I own the Rane mks and pioneer xz. But I tell u this is good one from pioneer.

Salute

Dj TLM I just noticed a week ago that I missed out on a new controller.

like i said in other channels, getting a pair come tax season!!

It's a expensive luxury, not a necessity. Nice though.

Oh that scratch is making me itch.....Pioneer is what it is...its in the name Pioneers of state of the art equipment. It's been that way since the beginning.

Yeah about that power cord area

I'm still waiting for the day i dont need to use a laptop with it and having to carry around a heavy bag full of vinyl to use with it. For example it would be nice to see a USB slot and a built in screen for reading playlists

The question i got is.. Have you still got to put a rizla paper or sticky label through the vinyl hole or does the clamp solve this problem...

I'm so happy for you. You now have the turntable you always wanted.

❤

Good video! Does this use USB to control Serato or RCA connection? Also can this use USB to send vinyl audio to a computer for recording?

I'm just waiting for a Pioneer scratch mixer with headphone-cue buttons 🤦‍♂️ then I'm going to buy two of these

Phase and Rane must be pissed 😂

If they would have released in Silver it def would win my dollar being that my set up is all silver (xone96,1200s) & I have no silver cdj options. I’ll be shopping & waiting till something silver releases.

All I'd like now is a mixer with Serato, Engine or similar built in so we can ditch the laptop and I'd have my ultimate setup!

I don't get the break 3-position switch. Should be a rotary dial, like on Reloop rp7000, especially for that kind of money, so that you cab dial it in exactly to your wishes.

Do you think people will end up with different slip mats for scratching alone vs playing vinyl?

Do you have to put this magvel thingy on top, if you play vinyl in just analog mode? Does it feel different then?

When cutting on the CRSS 12 did you ever notice the arrow on the magvel clamp start start to drift???

Do you have a tutorial for how to set this up and connect it? I can't get my CRSS 12 to connect to my MacBook M1 Pro 2021. My mixer is a DJM S11. I can't get it to play Digital DVS, or just like a control vinyl style. I can get it to play regular records no problem.

Thanks for this. But I'm having an issue with my pair. I have them connected to my S11 via RCA and USB but when I have a song rolling on deck 1 and then change the deck from 1 to 3, it's still controlling what's on deck 1 on the platter, and not allowing me access to deck 3 (despite that it says it's set to deck 3)... What am I doing wrong? Or is this a known issue? Because I can't figure out where I'm going wrong. I just tried this on my Rev5 and it works fine. Is it something to do with the S11? I'm also wondering if stem level control via the EQs is an option on the S11 like it is on the Rev5? Any help on this stuff is greatly appreciated.

Do the Start/Stop, Motor Off, 33, 45, Step Pitch, Application, Deck, Reset buttons are midi mappable ?

Are you gonna review the phase controller?

they just need to build a mixer now that you can plug a usb in and control it with these turntables. no more laptops

Can the output in analog mode be trusted to match the output of a eg 1210? I’m from vinyl background. Still buy vinyl and very selective over my music purchases to remain focused but cost of vinyl etc is hard. If this output in vinyl mode can honestly pack a punch then I’d be really interested. Would open up a whole new world to practice both styles

what buffer settings you using in serato to be able to use stems my man? I have a good spec laptop but I can't seem to get 1ms and not see an amber light pop up on screen. I'm using windows and it isn't just a slider I have 3 settings - latency, number of buffers and sample size would love any input please. ty

🎉 DJ TLM ON THE SET 👍👍👍👍👍 I notice you still have the Shure M- 44's PIONEER YES THIS IS A GAME CHANGER 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙 Numark and Gemini did this years back, but Pioneer took it to a WHOLE NEXT LEVEL OF DJ EQUIPMENT !

Is the torque better than the plx 1000s they were shocking compaired to reloops and vestax decks ?

Dope, but a pair of those, flight cases and a mixer gonna set you back 5k!

***That’s more of a PLatter** Nothing like the CDJs that have a platter so small and barely assists the breakbeat procedures. Thank also the curved Arm, which obeys the Groove and not fight it like the straight arm, which in effect adds wear in the groove.

A PLX with PHASE

Pioneer should just give you a set

Pioneer definitely trying to put Phase outta business with their expensive Phase remotes.

1400 for a turntable ? Lol they can keep it. I’ll stay with the 1200s

Any idea if it works with traktor?

😙😙😙😙😙😙😙 please please AAAYYYOOOO

Does it allow for vinyl recording?

Imagine they'll ad the option to put ur USB-stick in this... would make CDJ'S obsolet but hey why not haha

How you doing buddy need to save some more money

they are going to sell like hotcakes.
