Cutting-edge expressive opportunity
Remixes, edits, reimaginings, and unreleased “ID” tracks have been a staple of DJ sets for decades, punching up performances with unique takes on the music you’d expect to hear, exclusive to those live settings and highlighting what makes a great turntablist. Denon DJ introduces a groundbreaking new feature with the release of the Denon DJ Prime 4+ system: the world’s first standalone stem extraction tools. That’s right, no laptop needed! With a single tap or gesture, immediately isolate vocals, instrumentals, and more with onboard analysis that opens endless doors for on-the-fly or precision-cut mash-ups, remixes, and cross-genre fusion possibilities. Plus, the revamped Engine Lighting OS and StagelinQ connectivity ensure automatic and customizable control options for DMX, Nanoleaf, and Philips Hue light arrays, as well as complete video control, leading to nuanced, immersive audio-visual feasts that won’t require clunky, additional hardware to produce.

Each deck features a 3-band EQ, VU meter, and source toggle, but this standalone system is engineered to be as much of a production powerhouse as it is a set of turntables. A total of 16 sample pads adorn the sleek interface, fully customizable and capable of being used in concert with the extensive stem analysis and Sweep FX tools. What’s more, dedicated Hot Cue, Loop, Roll, and Slicer buttons offer deep customization to carefully concoct the most infectious, bizarre, and enlivening transitions and loops. For even greater personalization, the crossfader profile of the Denon Prime 4+ can be adjusted to provide a bevy of beat-crafting options. Jog wheels are touch-sensitive with assignable plate colors and graphics, supplementing your sound with reactive, real-time visuals to accompany your time at the decks.
Dynamic, personalized texturizing tools
Audio effects are a tricky area for DJs. On the one hand, they can be incredible tools of accentuation and ambience, easily distinguishing your set without detracting from the works you’ve painstakingly amassed. On the other hand, they’re easily and often overused, poorly implemented, and typically difficult to use effectively due to interface design shortcomings. Thankfully, the Prime 4+ is outfitted with versatile access points to texturize your tone, including 26 primary FX with a pair of dedicated OLED displays and control points, as well as Touch FX, activated from the touchscreen to get hands-on with your aural assemblage. Per-channel Sweep FX lets you combine multiple tools into a single-knob design for customizable, evocative effects.
