Pioneer CMX-3000
Pioneer CMX-3000 has been equipped with a high-quality Scratch Mode, which allows
scratching, scratch cueing and backspinning. Pioneer CMX-3000 reads the
track volume level and reproduces the data as a Wave display, which is patented
by Pioneer. A visual mapping of the landscape of each track is represented in
the display panel, denoting the highs and lows, allowing the DJ to quickly find
breaks in the tracks to guarantee accurate cueing. There is a 1000 CD internal
memory, where the DJ can store three cue and loop points per CD, as well as Wave
data for up to 20 tracks per CD. The stored data can also be copied to other
CMX-3000 CD players. When the 1000 CD capacity is reached, the CMX-3000
automatically deletes the CD information based on the amount of usage.
The new jog dial measures 11 cm and is now a two-piece design to allow greater
visibility of the display. A new dot matrix display delivers clearer and
brighter status information. The buttons are made from hard wearing rubber and
are illuminated for ease of use. Now even Cue/ Loops can be saved to any of the
three banks available for each CD. These can be recalled instantly at the touch
of a button. Hitting this button synchronizes the BPM between CD 1 and CD 2,
making beat matching easy and ideal when overdubbing on a track. This is a world
first, with a new patent — an innovative feature that sets a four-beat seamless
loop at the touch of a button. This feature is indispensable if a track is about
to end and the DJ has failed to cue up the next track. The Pioneer CMX-3000 has
also taken another key feature from the CDJ-1000. Via Autocue, the sound level
can be changed to suit the style of music. Pitch bending can be achieved by
using either the Pitch Bend buttons or the Jog Dial. CD track title information
can be read on the display. Designed principally for ease of CD changing, it
will also reduce the risk of accidental damage to the player. Pioneer’s
legendary Master Tempo feature offers ±6%, ±10%, ±16% and WIDE (±100%) ranges.
The trademark for high quality sound, only Pioneer has Legato Link technology.
The CMX-3000 is capable of reproducing sound frequencies above 20 kHz, which are
lost during normal CD-format playback. Pioneer CD player would be complete
without a Seamless Loop, which offers the same adjustment as the legendary
CDJ-700S. The CMX-3000 also features new improved 60mm Master Tempo sliders,
with a high specification and better quality (adjustment in ± 6% is now 0.05%).
The CMX-3000 will play commercial CDs, CD-R and CD-RW formats. The CMX-3000 has
15 seconds of shockproof memory.
