WATCH the Pioneer CDJ 2000 Nexus LEGO replica IN ACTION

Do you remember the replica of the Pioneer CDJ 2000 Nexus made out of 2628 LEGO pieces? One month after unveiling this creation on the LEGO ideas platform, the passionate LEGO enthusiast and DJ aficionado Megragadó Gladiátor Ezredes released a new video demonstrating some of the console’s interactive features and reliability. The replica stays true to the original design while introducing playable features shown in the video.

Mirroring the functionality of an actual CDJ, the waveform can be adjusted using a jogwheel on the LED panel. Just like the real instrument, you can insert and remove a USB stick from the socket, replicating the sensation of loading music onto the device. For precise control over your mixes, the tempo fader mimics its real-life counterpart, empowering you to adjust the music’s pace. Meanwhile, users can effortlessly insert and remove CDs at the touch of a button and navigate through music tracks using a knob located on the second LED panel.
