Pioneer DJ RMX-500 – Standalone DJ Remix Effects Processor

Compact Powerhouse for Performance Effects

The Pioneer DJ RMX-500 is a versatile, compact multi-effects unit that brings studio-quality remixing tools to live DJ performances and productions. Designed for DJs who want hands-on control of dynamic build-ups, drops, and transitions, the RMX-500 offers real-time manipulation of rhythm-based and scene-based effects with an intuitive layout and powerful internal processing. Whether you’re spinning at a club or enhancing your studio tracks, the RMX-500 gives you creative freedom without taking up much space in your setup.

Three Effect Sections for Endless Possibilities

The RMX-500 is divided into three main control sections:

• Rhythm FX – Includes 5 instrument sounds (kick, snare, clap, hi-hat, cymbal) and effects like roll, trans, add, and release, all of which can be triggered rhythmically and layered.

• Scene FX – Offers 10 build-up and breakdown effects including spiral up, echo, reverb down, and more, to help create massive transitions and energy shifts.

• Release FX – Instantly cancels all effects and smoothly fades into the next track with options like vinyl brake, echo, and backspin.

Each section includes dedicated pressure-sensitive knobs and buttons, giving you full tactile control over your effect parameters.

Customizable and User-Friendly

The RMX-500 makes it easy to stay in flow during your set. Its large Pressure Control knob lets you increase or decrease effect intensity by simply pressing and turning, mimicking the feel of performance pads with continuous depth control.

Customize your setup via Pioneer’s remixbox software, which allows you to assign and tweak parameters to match your personal performance style.

Standalone and VST/AU Plugin Operation

Use the RMX-500 as a standalone effects processor via RCA inputs/outputs, or integrate it into your DAW using the included VST and AU plugin. This dual capability makes it a powerful tool for both live DJs and producers looking to remix on the fly or in post-production.
