I love conspiracy theories and TOP-SECRET Stuff so I decided to conduct my own investigation on the matter
The Evidences
 |
| Hmm... another Rekordbox DJ Gear? What's that - The XDJ-R1? |
 |
| Did someone say Hot Cues? Woot!! |
 |
| Another mention of the XDJ-R1 and the quantize features |
The mysterious "Pioneer XDJ-R1" is mentioned many many times in the Rekordbox manual (found here). It seems like it is some kind of Rekordbox-ready DJ Player (like a cdj without a cd drive?), or perhaps an all-in-one unit (similar to the XDJ-AERO?).
The evidences suggest that the XDJ-R1 supports quantize mode for loops and cues (much like the CDJ900/2000/XDJ-Aero) and... check this out - HOT CUES!!! It appears that 3 of them are supported
The evidences also point that the XDJ-R1 may not have wifi or networking functions, so a possibility that it is a cheaper version of the XDJ-Aero without the networking/wifi functions?
I guess for now we can only guess as nothing else has been revealed at this point in time (March 5 2013) but I am definitely interested to see what Pioneer has in store for us very soon!
