AlphaTheta Corporation announces the release of the DDJ-GRV6, a 4-channel DJ controller that’s compatible with both rekordbox and Serato DJ Pro.

You can easily remix drum parts and perform remixes on the fly with the DDJ-GRV6, thanks to its new Groove Circuit feature which is available in rekordbox and enables you to manipulate the music in ways that are impossible with a conventional DJ controller. Simply press one of the dedicated buttons to swap the drum part of any track with a beat or break in a completely different genre while it’s playing, then add effects if you want it to sound even more unique. When used with Serato DJ Pro, the DDJ-GRV6 can manipulate and separate Stems using the Stems FX feature.

With a layout inherited from CDJ + DJM setups, the DDJ-GRV6 helps you get a feel for playing on club-standard equipment, so you’ll be able to transfer your skills and feel at home when you step into the booth. The controller also includes the Smart Rotary Selector and Discover function, which both help you to browse and select tracks quickly and intuitively. And the DDJ-GRV6 can be used with PC/Mac or mobile devices, enabling you to start DJing right away with your preferred device.

KEY FEATURES

Groove Circuit: freely manipulate drum parts and create new remixes
With the Groove Circuit function, which is available in rekordbox, it’s easy to create remixes by simply pressing the dedicated buttons. This enables DJs to replace the drum parts of a track – even while it’s playing – with different drum loops, changing them into different genres and performing unique remixes effortlessly. And, by applying effects to the drum parts, it’s easy to create fills, build-ups, and breakdowns

Layout based on the latest club-standard DJ gear
The DDJ-GRV6 features large jog wheels that are ideal for scratching, 8 Performance Pads which are positioned above the jogs – just as they are on the flagship CDJ-3000 multi player – and Beat FX in the mixer section is now equipped with a CH Select button from the DJM-A9. All this means DJs can play with a feeling similar to using club-standard equipment, and perform dynamically by combining expressive scratching with pad and effect techniques that are perfect for club sets.

Smart Rotary Selector and Discover Function
The DDJ-GRV6’s new Smart Rotary Selector offers multi-directional control (up/down, left/right, rotate,and push) for easy navigation through media, playlists, and track lists when using rekordbox ver. 7 onMac/Windows. The Discover button gives quick access to the Track Suggestion feature, available only on rekordbox for Mac/Windows.

Stems FX in Serato DJ Pro
The DDJ-GRV6 is compatible with Serato DJ Pro, which includes a Stems FX feature. DJs can express themselves musically by applying effects such as Roll, Trans, Echo Out, and Delay to the separate Stems of a track – drums, bass, vocal, or melody. Applying the overlay sheet included with the DDJ-GRV6 changes the button labels to Stems FX for ease of use.

Multi-device compatibility
DJs can choose to use the DDJ-GRV6 with not only rekordbox for Mac/Windows but also rekordbox for iOS/Android. You have freedom to DJ in your preferred style and in a variety of different settings.

*The DDJ-GRV6 does not support Bluetooth® connections.
*Only channels 1 and 2 are available for playback in rekordbox for iOS/Android

Intuitive User Experience and Design
The DDJ-GRV6 features a matte black finish and ergonomic layout for easy use. Its minimal display and clear indicators help DJs navigate functions, while the “step up” layout of the Groove Circuit above the PerformancePads prevents accidental jog wheel touches.
