![]() ![]() For this review, we only tested the unit with the supplied Serato DJ Intro software package that comes with the controller, as this is what most users will end up using when they purchase the unit. The DDJ-SB is a fully MIDI-mappable DJ controller that can work with almost any DJ software out on the market today. All of the lights are still very bright and the volumes of the headphone and RCA main outputs are adequate enough for live performance situations even while running off of only USB power. The DDJ-SB does not come with a power supply and it must be connected to a computer at all times in order to run the unit with software. These pads perform various functions including Transport controls on the bottom rows (Play/Pause, Cue, Sync, & Shift), and Hotcue, Loops, and Sampler on the top rows. The 16 rubber performance pads provide a tactile feel with an audible click when pressed and they have quick response for performing DJ's. Mostly all of the buttons on the DDJ-SB illuminate a very bright amber color to let the user know what is active at a glance. The overall compact size of the DDJ-SB makes it easy to find a bag or case as it’s about the same size as a Traktor Kontrol S2 or Vestax VCI-380. I would be careful during transport and make sure there is a bag or case protecting it when it’s not in use. The plastic does feel thinner than that found on the higher DDJ-SR/SX models, but it still feels like it will hold up through normal use. The Pioneer DDJ-SB has a very compact footprint and is made of mostly plastic.
