Also, keeping the music flowing, Prime 4 can access literally unlimited music files and media sources with no less than four USB inputs, one SD and also a built-in SATA drive bay – A DJs full gig/music set can also be recorded ‘live’ to any connected media source!

Prime 4 empowers DJs to manipulate 14 on-board, pro-club DJ Effects, with three quick access parameter adjustments for instant gratification ‘in the mix.’ DJs can quickly access and manipulate single encoder, dual-function control too for Sweep FX and Filter, across all 4 channels.
