The casing does feel a bit light, following suit with most of the Pioneer (and a great many other manufacturers) range these days – in fact it’s only really Allen & Heath and Reloop that seem to be taking the durability of the outer shell as seriously as the intricacy of the circuitry. They fit neatly underneath the controller, exposing the screen only as you won’t need to touch the keyboard or mouse. Looking strangely like one of those high speed catamaran hydrofoil boats, the DDJ T-1 stands upon two removable triangular supports which act as a docking station for your laptop. Is it a quick fix using their current stock of components or could these two monoliths of joy be the first advancements in the standardisation of club controllers? We’ve got the DDJ T-1 (that’s the Traktor one to you and me) on the Juno Plus testing slab and we’re going to find out. So with literally hundreds of DJ controllers now available across the price and performance range it’s easy to question the motive for Pioneer to introduce two all in one DJ consoles – one optimised for Serrato Itch, the other for Traktor Pro – especially with the latter’s platform S4 unit dominating much of last years’ DJ equipment media. Pioneer have long had the professional CD deck market sewn up, and these days it seems that they are launching new products as quickly as their predecessors are going out of fashion.
