[Video] Pioneer XDJ-AERO’s New Firmware 2.0

We recently reviewed the new Pioneer XDJ-AERO all in one wireless digital DJ mixstation and it was really one of the best times I've had on any DJ controller in recent memory. It was very easy to use, had great feel and construction, and lots of different ways that DJ's can mix their music together. The new Pioneer XDJ-AERO now has a 2.0 Firmware update which gives DJ's better control over the sample banks and a few other improvements here and there. Check out the Pioneer DJ Video of the new 2.0 Firmware features and check out my full HD-Video review to see if this is the choice for you.
