The DDJ-SB features similar operability as Pioneer's extremely popular DDJ-SX and recently announced DDJ-SR. More compact and portable than the other models, the DDJ-SB 2-channel DJ controller is designed for the entry-level DJ who wants the same look and feel as the two upper models but with more basic operability and at a more affordable price. The DDJ-SB uses the Serato DJ Intro software and incorporates multiple performance pads, large jog wheels, and a new Filter Fade function that assists users in smoothly blending together tracks of different styles.
Operability for dynamic, energetic and intuitive Djing
Comes with large rubber pads that allow for dynamic and energetic DJing, as well as "BIG JOG" for reliable scratching. The use of a layout with two decks on either side of the controller, and a 2-channel mixer in the center give the user an intuitive feel for the tracks being played and mixed.

Independent knob for "MANUAL FILTER" for each channel
An independent control knob for the DJ software "MANUAL FILTER" has been installed on each channel. This allows tracks to be changed instantaneously with a single action when mixing or arranging tracks.
Big Jog - Precision control for reliable scratching with "JOG"
Comes with "JOG" that features a faster jog response rate and optimal adjustments made to the rotation speed while DJing, as well as allowing reliable scratching.
"FILTER FADE" function for smoothly mixing tracks together
The "FILTER FADE" function is included which allows tracks to be mixed naturally using a cross-fader by adjusting the volume of the left and right decks, as well as the high-pass filter parameters. The high-pass filter of the left and right decks is linked with the actions of the cross-fader, and the deck volume is adjusted while applying the base filter, which allows tracks with vastly different BPMs or styles to be mixed smoothly.
