Denon DJ’s MCX8000 is both the company’s flagship Serato DJ controller and a standalone all-in-one device. It was a very capable unit on release, but some users were disappointed when Denon launched their Engine Prime software in 2017 to support their new Prime series hardware, and the MCX8000 wasn’t compatible with it.

Now, the company has announced a public beta testing program for a new version 2.0 firmware, which enables the MCX8000 to read data from USB drives prepared using Engine Prime. The version also adds a host of other new features and bug fixes.

They include:

– Support for Engine Prime prepared USB drives
– Beat Grid support for Engine Prime prepared USB drives
– Beat Grid slide feature
– Quantize feature
– Quantize options 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1-beat and off for setting/triggering hot cues and loops
– Beat Sync feature
– 12 o’clock platter LED reset for cues
– BPM sorting when browsing songs through BPM Filter

Users can apply to join the beta at the Denon DJ forum now.

Check out Mojaxx’s review of the MCX8000 below.

DJcity’s KidCutUp has joined pop star Pink on her Beautiful Trauma tour. The 48-date tour will support her album of the same name.

Known for his edits on DJcity, CutUp is a veteran DJ and turntablist. The Milwaukee native’s current residencies include The Dime and Harlowe in Los Angeles.

His history with Pink goes back to 2017 when he opened for her at the Summerfest music festival in his hometown. He went on to open for her two more times, including at her Super Bowl weekend show in February.

“I’ve put together a ‘greatest hits’ sort of set. including all my best remixes and routines that fit the format,” CutUp tells us. “[There are] classic party jams from front to back.”

He has also changed the pacing of his set. “People are not milling about and dancing around their bottle service tables,” he says. “They are all facing you, so I bring the show aspect to the set.”

As for his duties at DJcity, CutUp will continue making edits while on the road.

“I try to open Ableton every day and work on something, even if it’s just a simple edit,” he tells us. “You never realize how many distractions are at home or in the studio until you are in a hotel room in the middle of nowhere.”

Released in October, Pink’s Beautiful Trauma debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and featured the singles “What About Us,” “Beautiful Trauma,” and “Whatever You Want.”
