Pioneer DJ DJM-450

A versatile analog kick generator gives you direct access to powerful, punchy bass impulses that go far beyond conventional drum-machine kicks. Its foundation is the self-oscillating structure of the MS-20 filter, which produces a harmonically complex core sound and allows you to create both precise kick drums and tonally playable kick basses. With just a few knobs, you shape short, crisp impulses or deep, resonant bass foundations – always fitting your style and workflow. Layered sound generation The sound architecture consisting of Resonator, Pulse and Amp gives you a well-structured system with which you can shape every parameter of your sound precisely. Using the PITCH, BEND and TIME controls, you set the basic resonance before shaping the contour with Pulse parameters like Attack and Clip. Finally, Decay and volume define the character of the kick. This separation of sections ensures that you can quickly and intuitively adapt your sound to any arrangement. Analog refinement and flexible performance With DRIVE and TONE, you get extra tools to enrich your sound. The analog distortion provides present, saturated kicks, while the high-frequency filter allows fine adjustments between soft and aggressive results. The integrated touch panel becomes especially exciting, allowing you to play kick basses in different pitches – a function that turns the compact Korg kick generator into a flexible bass synth. Dynamic sequences and creative control The 16-step sequencer offers far more than simple step programming. Motion Sequence records knob movements, Pattern Chain extends sequences up to 256 steps, and functions like Active Step, Accent and Slide add rhythmic variations to your patterns. Touch FX enables spontaneous actions like Roll, Sustain or Octave – ideal for lively sequences and improvised performances. Flexible integration into any setup With MIDI In and Sync In/Out, the device integrates effortlessly into larger setups. Thanks to battery operation and an integrated speaker, it also remains fully mobile. The independent use makes the analog kick generator a practical tool for studio, rehearsal or on the go.

Select Option

A compact instrument that sounds great on its own and is ready to use immediately, supporting you with spontaneous ideas as well as with fully developed productions. The integrated 2+1 speaker system delivers a remarkably direct reproduction of your sounds, so you can reliably judge how a sound feels even without additional equipment. Thanks to the bass reflex construction, you get a solid foundation that convincingly carries even dry bass lines and represents highs clearly. Precise sound generation with a flexible structure The Analog Modeling Synthesis System forms the core of the synthesizer and gives you two oscillators, a multimode filter, and versatile modulation paths. This structure allows detailed sound design without holding you up with unnecessary complexity. The combination of presets and freely assignable memory slots gives you a fast start while still leaving plenty of room for your own ideas. With the Favorite Select function, you recall up to eight sounds instantly – ideal when you want to switch spontaneously while playing. Vocoder for expressive effects The built-in vocoder adds an additional creative layer to the device. With the included miniature microphone, you can create speech-based sound variations ranging from subtle colorations to clear rhythmic effects. The 8-channel design with Formant Shift opens up diverse possibilities to blend voices and synth signals, allowing you to shape new textures. Direct handling and inspiring presets The clear control panel with five real-time knobs gives you direct access to important parameters. This creates an intuitive workflow that invites experimentation. In addition to modern pads and digital e-pianos, you have access to numerous synth and bass presets that support both classic and contemporary production styles. The velocity-sensitive 37 keys fit well with the compact format and provide a lively playing feel, especially in combination with the integrated speakers. Mobility and characteristic design The white panel and maple side panels refer to the familiar appearance and give the instrument a distinctive look. Thanks to battery operation, you can use it without preparation anywhere – ideal when spontaneous ideas need to be captured quickly. The lightweight housing and clean layout make handling even more comfortable.
