Buy the Pioneer DDJ-ERGO-Limited DJ Controller w/ Traktor LE 2 at PlanetDJ. Low VIP Pricing, Financing and Free Shipping available. Sep 29, 2011 Continuing with our pre-BPM launch coverage, we’re following the announcement of Pioneer’s entry into entry-level: the DDJ-ERGO-V. It’s yet another all-in-one two deck controller with a built in soundcard, and has a feature set that caters to, you guessed it, the beginner DJ. Dec 25, 2012 I've recently just bought DDJ Ergo K and I've upgraded it from Traktor LE 2 to Traktor Pro 2. But after I activate my Traktor Pro 2 and I start it, I can't seems to be using the Hot Cues buttons on the DDJ Ergo K, same goes to the Sampler Buttons.
Reader Ashton writes: “I am just starting to really get into DJing and I’ve been looking at both the Pioneer DDJ Ergo and the Traktor Kontrol S2 (because I’m just a beginner still). So I saw the Ergo for $430, but because of the lights and whatnot, I am starting to feel it is kind of childish in a way. So I then started looking at the Traktor S2 which is similar in price now ($399 till the end of March) and I’ve read reviews saying it would be the better way to go. I like all genres of music but what I would probably be trying to do most would be the dub step/bass music genre and again I have no clue! Which controller would be better for that?”
Digital DJ Tips says:
My advice in this instance is probably to go for the S2 as it comes with more powerful software, and for mixing bass music I think you’d appreciate the onboard advanced sample decks. The advantage of the ERGO is that it works easily with Serato DJ Intro and Virtual DJ, so if you’re not sure which software route you’ll want to go, ERGO might be better. But neither of those programs supplied with the ERGO is “full strength” DJ software, whereas the Traktor Pro version that comes with the S2 is. You could upgrade Virtual DJ to Virtual DJ Pro, but currently the ERGO doesn’t work with the “upgraded” Serato DJ Intro, which is called ITCH, at all.
Regarding the “coloured lights” thing, it’s true that the ERGO is styled in a really consumer fashion, but hardware-wise it is a well-built unit. It’s just that it would look more at place in a house party that in a “serious” DJ booth. At the end of the day, though, they’re both plastic DJ controllers, it’s just that one looks more garish than the other.
Do you own either of these controllers? Do you wish you’d bought the other? Let us know your thoughts on the Kontrol S2 and/or the DJ ERGO in the comments below.

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. I would love a pair, but I am unable to afford these beauties!
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.

Pioneer DDJ-ERGO LIMITED Controller includes:
- Pulse Control – Integrated Pulse Control provides users with visual prompts.
- Mix Pulse – As the pitch of songs begin to match, the intensity of white LED lights of the jog wheel increases. In conjunction with the music, the pulsing of lights enhances beat matching skills.
- Beat Pulse – The embedded LEDs in the channel faders illuminate along with the beat of the current song playing. The illumination intensifies and weakens based on the output sound level.
- Launch Pulse – Triggers a red light to illuminate on the jog wheel to signify a press of the track load button.
- FX Pulse – The lights on the jog wheel identify which FX is applied.
- DJ Software – Includes Native Instrument’s TRAKTOR LE 2 DJ software. When used with TRAKTOR PRO 2 (upgrade fees apply), the controller can also operate as a 4-deck controller and sampler. In addition, the unit supports Serato’s “Serato® DJ Intro” software (downloadable at no charge fromhttp://serato.com/dj-intro).
- Laptop Dock Design – The DDJ-ERGO LIMITED is designed to accommodate the placement of a laptop computer below the unit to save room and bring the laptop screen closer to the user. The controller also features removable legs, enabling it be used in angled or horizontal flat positions.
- USB Power – Utilizes the host computer’s USB port for power, eliminating the need for an external power supply.
- High Quality Audio – Employs the same audio technology used in Pioneer’s professional DJ mixers for clear, powerful audio output.
- Other features
- Employs a P-LOCK Fader Cap locking mechanism to prevent the channel fader knobs and crossfader knob from slipping.
- Built-in audio interface for high quality sound input and output.
Whats the Verdict?
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.
