At the 2016 NAMM Show: DJ equipment maker Denon DJ announced on Monday its new MCX8000 DJ controller with its “exclusive and revolutionary” Engine software. The MCX8000 enables greater DJ control over Denon DJ’s Engine™ media player and Serato DJ software on a single control surface.
DJs can use the MCX8000 with USB drives by opting to use Denon DJ Engine, without a computer connected. Engine software is not required for USB playback, but its use “greatly improves the overall experience,” Denon officials report. Engine enables the DJ to directly import Serato DJ crates and hot cues, as well as create their own, all from within Denon DJ’s Engine software.

nice product! Im impress how the Numark NV really start the revolution in these kind of DJ controllers….
This is cool, but why can’t Traktor put out a controller with USB control? Denon seems like a forgotten product line in a sense. If Denon can do this, Traktor sure can too!
Do all those blinking lights make it sound better???
This looks like a prop from Joel Schumacher’s Batman and Robin.
