Ddj Ergo Limited Traktor Pro 2
From my viewpoint, I see Pioneer as the world leaders for CDJ manufacturing, they have always been the industry standard for CDJ’s and from my experienced coined the name CDJ. Similarly to how people call their mp3 players iPods even if it’s not an iPod; many people now call their DJ CD players, CDJ’s. 1994 saw the first real CDJ product, the CDJ-500.
From this point onwards Pioneer went from strength to strength and produced the most commonplace CDJ’s the CDJ1000. Most clubs will be sporting the CDJ 1000s alongside a pair of ‘Technics’ Vinyl turntables. These particular products have dominated the club scene now for many years. With the leap into digital DJ’ing, I feel there is a sense of unease around the continued success of these club gear giants. Pioneer has released their most beautiful CDJ line yet (in my opinion) with the CDJ 900’s and CDJ 2000’s. These however are most often priced outside the reach of the humble start-up bedroom DJ.

Pioneer cleverly enabled this recent line of CDJ’s to send midi messages allowing DJ’s to control the ever popular Traktor DJ Software from Native Instruments. I know I have seen Steve Lawler using this set up in clubs before. With the recent update of Traktor 2.5.1, you can plug and play the CDJ 2000’s.
Pioneer targets entry level
The unease that I describe above brings me to Pioneers latest Traktor enabled release; the DDJ-ERGO-K. This controller is basically the DDJ-ERGO-V with a make over (black finish instead of white) and more compatibility with Traktor Software.

Although I haven’t yet handled the DDJ-ERGO-K (wow, thats a mouthful), I am sure it is an excellent choice for the bedroom DJ that wants the capability of a standard DJ set up with pretty lights. The lighting on this thing seems like it’s come straight out of a spaceship. With light indicators on the volume sliders, to light indicators on the platter that tell you how in time your mix is, it will certainly illuminate your face in pretty colours as you lean over it. The brighter your face glows blue, the more spot on the mix is going! It really does bring a whole new meaning to DJ’ing until your blue in the face!
It has a nifty little slot to slide your laptop under, which if like me, you have hotkeys set up on your laptop, will be useless or at best, annoying. Other than that it seems to have all the relevant buttons and nobs for standard mixing and effects. The one thing that hit me about this controller was the video that they are using to market the device.
I’m not sure about you, but whist I watched this video I couldn’t help but think how unlikely it would be for me to carry my ‘ERGO’ around the streets and bust my macbook pro out and sit there rocking out a mix to myself on the streets. Leaving me completely unawares of the large group of youth creeping up on me with knives ready to grab my shit. So although I like your equipment pioneer, I think you messed up with this video.

Whats the Verdict?
Dec 04, 2012 Any advice from somebody who has this set up working how it should do, please let me know as I'm considering selling my copy of traktor pro 2 or asking for a refund since I don't think it's capable of working efficiently with the ddj ergo as advertised, looks like VDJ does coz it's partnered with the product just like the competitive S2 is.

Jun 19, 2012 DDJ Ergo and Traktor pro 2. @chap Yes the DDJ-ERGO can control Traktor Pro. It also comes with Virtual DJ LE, and can also control other versions of Traktor and Serato DJ Intro. It's your own personal preference of what software you decide to use. There are lot of similarities between the software, but some provide you with different. Feb 12, 2018 Video Pioneer's New DDJ-ERGO-K For Traktor Pioneer DJ Division has made a new announcement this morning in the form of a Brand new iteration of their latest DJ controller called the Pioneer DDJ.
Without having laid my hands on one, I don’t really qualify to say much about the DDJ-ERGO-K, so I will leave you all to do some more research and read up various reviews that you find laying around the internet. But for a release price of £429 / €499 and with a built in Audio interface and included Traktor LE software it doesn’t look like a bad place to begin.
