“I love playing on the CDJ-3000X in the clubs!
I don’t have the real one yet, but I wanted to learn the functions. So I built my own to learn the features and buttons.”
Davidson Ospina(01)Why I built it
Every control works. Press one and it tells you what it does, and where it sits on the CDJ-3000X.
Eleven short lessons walk you through the deck one step at a time. Add your own tracks to practice with. They stay on your device and are never uploaded.

The trainer names a control and you tap it on the deck, against the clock. It is how you get your hands to go straight to Slip or Reloop when the floor is full.
