Want to start DJing? Look no further than the DDJ-WeGO4 – the perfect piece of hardware for beginner DJs to step into the world of mixing. You can use the new lightweight controller to mix music from your iTunes library stored on your iPad, or to control tracks stored on your laptop.

The DDJ-WeGO4 features all the tactile controls you need to learn to mix seamlessly, including play/cue buttons, EQ knobs, tempo sliders, a crossfader and jog wheels for scratching. The sampler, Hot Cues and Pad FX are all inherited from professional hardware, bringing even more creative possibilities to your sets. Setting up the DDJ-WeGO4 is easy too – you just plug in the supplied USB cable or a Lightning cable and it’s ready to use – and your iPad fits neatly into the slot at the top of the controller to give you the perfect viewing angle.

A licence key for our professional DJ performance application for Mac/PC, rekordbox dj, comes bundled with the DDJ-WeGO4, so you can plug it into your laptop and start DJing straight out of the box. The controller is also compatible with WeDJ, our new, easy-to-use DJ performance app for iPad, which lets you mix the tracks in your iTunes library, and you can use the DDJ-WeGO4 with the popular djay iOS and Android app. And if you’re looking for the ideal gear to complete your Pioneer DJ set-up, the DM-40 speakers and HDJ-700 headphones are perfect partners to the DDJ-WeGO4.

The DDJ-WeGO4 is available from mid-September at an MAP of $299, excluding Sales Tax

WeDJ is available in the App Store now at an introductory price of $2.99 until 30th September 2016, and at the regular price of $4.99 from 1st October 2016.
