Pioneer leaked some details regarding their plans for the next few years. This is unofficial, and very early information, similar to when I broke the existence of the DJM S11 6 months before it was announced. Many of these units, especially the 2024 and 2025 releases, are still in the development stage, and details may change, but at the moment, this is what is allegedly in the works. Take this with a few grains of salt… it could be real, it could be fake, it could all change. That said, it’s interesting, and worth discussing.
