The DDJ-ERGO-K, announced today, sports a new black colour scheme, and comes with Traktor LE instead of Virtual DJ. Following the success of its controller, Pioneer has today announced a new version, the DDJ-ERGO-K, which ships with a version of Traktor LE. Apart from the new colour (black), and the fact that it’s got Traktor rather than Virtual DJ in the box, it’s business as usual, with the same CDJ-esque jogwheels and other features inherited from Pioneer’s pro DJ equipment. The controller keeps the “pulse control” light show on the jogwheels, the ability to tuck your laptop underneath it (with removable feet if you choose not to) and USB plug-and-play functionality. Like the DDJ-ERGO-V, this will also work with Serato DJ Intro, which is also in the box alongside the aforementioned Traktor LE.
Jan 27, 2019 VirtualDJ LE (DDJ-ERGO) (virtualdj_le.exe). VirtualDJ LE is a limited version of VirtualDJ that is included in the box of many hardware controllers (Hercules, Numark, Denon, Vestax, Gemini.). It has been tailored to the controller it ships with, and though lacking some of the advanced features of VirtualDJ Pro Full. Maintaining updated Pioneer DDJ-WEGO software prevents crashes and maximizes hardware and system performance. Using outdated or corrupt Pioneer DDJ-WEGO drivers can cause system errors, crashes, and cause your computer or hardware to fail. Furthermore, installing the wrong Pioneer drivers can make these problems even worse.
It is also compatible with other DJ software including Virtual DJ and djay. We’ve got a full for you over on our, and Pioneer has posted a on its YouTube channel too. Price in Europe is £429/€499 and it will be available from late August 2012. How do you like the smart new colour scheme?
Do you think it’s good that you can now get a version of this for Traktor? Let us know your thoughts in the comments. I’m a proud satisfied owner of the DDJ-ERGO V and I must say that its a very niche and very well build up controller for beginners/pros and for Pioneer lovers. Of course there are rivals like Numark 4Trak Pro which I personally feel is more or less close to the ERGO (not counting in Hercules, Stanton, American audio etc).But compared to 4TRAK, ERGO is very well priced. Now, back to DDJ-ERGO K, Pioneer has come out with a strategy just like Numark used for its NS6 (serato) and 4TRAK (NS6 with effects panel mapped to Traktor).I don’t do club gigs Read more ».
I love my Pioneers DJMs and CDJs, but in my humble opinion, they haven’t released a DJ controller really has that Pioneer standard. For a high asking price on a beginner controller, it doesn’t even compare to the quality of others at the same price range.

You got the Denon MC3000, Reloop Jockey 3 ME, Novation Twitch, Stanton DJC.4, etc it seems every controller at the same price range is better than what Pioneer can offer. Even the Reloop Mixage has better quality than this. Pioneer should step up their game, and lower their price. Covering the keyboard so you can’t type in search options is not good. This layout obstructs the computer from entering search terms or even use the built-in mouse.
While it may be an interesting idea, I think it’s still better to get a laptop stand. While Pioneer may have made some really good turntables, mixing a turntable-centric mindset was a lifetime ago. This isn’t the only area they miss the mark. Most DJs have learned to embrace computers and the strengths that computers can bring to the art instead of reluctantly shoehorning a laptop screen behind the decks and being Read more ». There is some serious bashing going on against the ergo in particular and pioneer in general.
I upgraded from a mixage to an ergo ( They were running an £80 off summer rebate ) and it is brilliant to have more functions at your finger tips and also the size. No complaints here.
It also works brilliantly in Traktor. But I guess my point is that it seems that people are getting really snobby over Home / consumer controllers, controllers designed for the bedroom / the occasional house party against stuff you would take into Read more ».
