A Beginner-Friendly DJ Controller Coupling Pro-Style Design with an Intuitive User Interface
The DDJ-FLX4 integrates two new smart features to help beginner DJs start mixing—Smart Fader and Smart CFX. Smart Fader allows artists to effortlessly transition between tracks with a simple glide of the crossfader or channel faders. After sliding the fader, the DDJ-FLX4 automatically adjusts the track’s BPM, volume, bass volume and other aspects of the music to create a seamless transition into the next song. Artists can also spice up their favorite tracks with the help of Smart CFX—an effect that applies complicated combinations of effects to the music with the turn of a knob.
Streaming performances to friends, family and followers is easy with the DDJ-FLX4’s USB audio output design. This design removes the need for external equipment such as a mixer or soundcard and outputs the microphone from the controller. In doing so, artists can share their set via stream from a single computer. Better yet, the DDJ-FLX4 relies on USB bus power—allowing artists to practice and play on the go.
Pioneer DJ’s DDJ-FLX4 extends artists the freedom to mix with their software of choice: Pioneer DJ’s rekordbox or Serato. When mixing with rekordbox for Mac/Windows, artists receive free use of the software’s performance mode. Better yet, a major update to rekordbox for iOS/Android coming in early 2023 will allow for DDJ-FLX4 use with an artist’s iPhone, Android smartphone, iPad or Android tablet.
The DDJ-FLX4 also offers artists free use of Serato DJ Lite. Additionally, Artists can upgrade their Serato capabilities with a Serato DJ Pro subscription. Both rekordbox and Serato enable artists to play music files stored on their device; as well as tracks from TIDAL, Beatport Streaming, Beatsource Streaming and SoundCloud Go+. (Paid Subscriptions May Be Required).
KEY FEATURES
rekordbox and Serato Compatibility

Portable Design and Professional Layout
The layout of the controls on the DDJ-FLX4 makes it easy to learn to DJ and is inherited from professional Pioneer DJ products. Everything is simple to use and neatly arranged, which also makes the controller compact enough to take anywhere you want to practice or perform.
User Intuitive Smart Mixing Features
Don’t know how to mix? Don’t worry, artists can get started right away with the Smart Fader feature, which automatically adjusts the volume, bass volume, and BPM of the music so they can smoothly transition from one track to the next by simply moving the channel faders or crossfader. This means artists can have fun straight away and get a grasp of other fundamental DJ skills such as EQing. Plus, with Smart CFX, artists can put their own stamp on every song by simply turning a knob to apply a combination of effects that will add drama to the sound.
Seamless Integration with Music Streaming Services
rekordbox is compatible with a different choice of streaming services. So, depending on the DJ software artists use, they can choose from millions of tracks available on the TIDAL, Beatport Streaming, Beatsource Streaming, and SoundCloud Go+ platforms (subscriptions required) and mix them together on the DDJ-FLX4. Artists can use all the effects and performance features to spice up their favorite songs and create their own sound.
USB Audio Output for Microphone Sound
The DDJ-FLX4 removes the need for a separate mixer or soundcard as the controller mixes the microphone audio with the music. These audio capabilities make the DDJ-FLX4 an ideal choice for artists looking to live-stream their sets as artists can perform using only the controller.
