The popularity of streaming services can be a double-edged sword for DJs. On one hand, the near-limitless styles and sounds of musicians across the globe have never been so accessible.

Don’t worry: you don’t need to be scheduled to headline next year’s Ultra main stage to integrate these elements into your sets, thanks to a slew of Smart controls AlphaTheta meticulously designed for the DDJ-FLX2. Using the Smart CFX and Smart Fader features, pro-tier transitions and ferocious effects are effortlessly implemented in your mix. With just the twist of a knob, Smart CFX captures the complex, detailed techniques used by your favorite DJs, allowing you to inject multitudes of dazzling and dynamic flourishes into your set, evocatively gluing tracks together or emphasizing key moments with boundless sonic color whenever the groove moves you. Smart Fader, on the other hand, is your all-in-one transition tool, commanding a triumvirate of volume, tempo, and bass controls to painlessly mix tracks, regardless of the differences in tempo. Just push the crossfader and let DDJ-FLX2 handle the heavy lifting.
The DDJ-FLX2’s robust jog wheels provide plenty of heft to dial in even the finest of flourishes with ease, but this controller’s menagerie of mixing capabilities goes beyond its dynamic decks. Enter Pad Mode. Sixteen performance pads adorn the controller’s surface, expanding your performance palette to include a variety of possibilities. Using hot cues, for example, you can mark any point of a track, bookmark it, and jump straight to it at any time, while Pad FX lets you implement a diverse array of effects with the press of a pad to personalize your sets even further. For the adventurous among us, the Sampler mode is your blank check to cash with an endlessly customizable armada of samples, sounds, one-shots, and even drums for the finger drummers looking to augment their grooves.
Thanks to its lightweight yet durable design and its fluid, all-in-one form factor, the DDJ-FLX2 is ready to roll whenever you’re raring to go. Its multidimensional compatibility goes beyond devices, operating systems, and sound sources, with its USB-C port pulling double-duty for both bus power and source connections, letting you DJ virtually anywhere, any time you like. Plus, its duo of audio output jacks lets you independently adjust a master signal and a headphone-monitoring signal, enabling you to bring the party everywhere you go.
