Comes with VST effects to use in DJ software ------ I so want one
Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. Professional Sound and Visual Division today launched the RMX-1000 Remix Station, an innovative technologically advanced device for enhancing DJ performances with its ability to create and add a variety of new and unique remix effects, as well as rhythmic sampling capabilities. The RMX-1000 incorporates four remixing functions: Isolate FX, Scene FX, X-Pad FX and Release FX for simple musical arrangements with intuitive control, all accessible at the user’s fingertips. The device includes Pioneer's remixbox™ editing software to enable users to customize almost every function and feature of the unit. The system can also act as a USB controller when used with the included VST/AU RMX-1000 Plug-in software.
VST EFFECTS
Scene FX
In the Scene FX section, users can choose between five Build Up effects and five Break Down effects. The Build Up effects, consisting of BPF ECHO, ECHO, NOISE, SPIRAL UP and REVERB UP, add sounds, while Break Down effects, consisting of HPF ECHO, LPF ECHO, CRUSH ECHO, SPIRAL DOWN and REVERB DOWN, cut sounds. A large knob increases or decreases the parameter of effects chosen by simply turning the knob. Two sub-parameters knobs are also available for additional changes to the effects being produced.
Isolate FX
The Isolate FX section, consisting of three individual knobs, processes the low, mid and high frequency bands of the music passing through. The section is loaded with three effects in addition to an Isolator, providing rhythm patterns, timbre, etc., letting users freely modify the output for theHI/MID/LOWfrequency bands. In addition to the Isolator, three additional effects in the section are available including CUT/ADD, TRANS/ROLL and GATE/DRIVE.
X-Pad FX
The device features a touchpad section called the X-PAD FX that enables users to develop and add new sounds not found in the original music. In addition to its four built-in audio samples, KICK, SNARE, CLAP and HI HAT, other audio samples edited in Pioneer’s remixbox software can be loaded using an SD card (not included) during DJ play.
Release FX
The system also includes a Release FX lever that eliminates the current music playing and leaves only the sound effects. Release FX can also be used to create the opposite effect: When the lever is released, all section effects are eliminated while the original music continues to play. Three types of Release FX are available including Vinyl Brake, Echo, and Back Spin.
Customization Using Remixbox Software
The included remixboxsoftware allows the user to customize various settings of the RMX-1000 on a computer, changing parameters such as volume output and values for different sections of the device. The customized settings can then be transferred using an SD card for use with other RMX-1000s.
Virtual Studio Technology/Audio Units Plug-in
Using the included RMX-1000Plugin VST/AU1 plug-in software, users can create the same type of music production and effects while DJing on a computer. In addition, connecting the device to a computer enables it to act as a controller for music production.

Way behind the times and WAY too expensive (well it's Pioneer...)
Four samples? Wow, "Pioneer you are really spoiling us!"

I have a new Allen & Heath Xone: DB2 that has more effects built into it and it can operate DAW & VST software while also being an analog mixer

Thanks for that, and I think Pioneer are losing the plot a bit with they're pricing on this bit of kit!

you could do a hell of a lot more with a 2in 2out soundcard, ableton and a few knobs and buttons a netbook or windows tab and a little time for the same cash.

I think if I had had £600 and was looking to spend it on FX, I'd get a Korg Kaoss Pad 3 and a Kaossilator Pro.
Same total price but 128 effects, 8 sample pads/loop recording banks and 200 synth, drum and instrument sounds.
If you didn't want the instrument sounds, the Roland SP-555 sampler is around the same price and has 16 sample pads (not four)
and an FX section.
This just seems to be a very slight rejig of the EFX-1000 (which IMO was dated even when it came out) in a new case.

I disagree, I think the efx1000 kills the korg kaoss series, purely for its ease of use, sound quality, and the feedback loop/pitch echo, the bpm clock is almost perfect and combining the two types of effects beat synced and free audio effects was amazing, It is dated now but I believe pioneer should have recreated the efx interface with up to date effects but kept the control style instead of making the rmx, as the effects it uses are production effects that should be a part of the song foundation not added to existing productions, it is just going to either encourage noobs to muddy up existing tracks or make producers create more sparse productions to leave room for these type of build effects...
The sampler also upon further reading allows the use of 4 banks of 4 samples so could be a good addition to a live set considering you can roll and add effects to the samples, but you could probably map that to vdj fairly easily baring the effects unless using the extra decks...
