The Pioneer DJS-1000 is a performance tool to bring out the producer in most DJs and allow them to create grooves on the fly which seamlessly integrate into their DJ set.
With over 2,5000 built in loops and samples from Loopmasters, the DJS-1000 is ready to play out of the box and more importantly, ready for any DJ that is either new or an expert in production.
Those familiar with the Toraiz SP-16 will feel right at home on the DJS-1000 with many similar features and controls. Likewise, most DJs will find the layout and controls on the DJS-1000 familiar thanks to it’s NXS2 style form factor.
What the Pioneer DJS-1000 does is to play back either the built in samples or ones prepared and stored on a USB device using the 16 performance pads to trigger them and the 16 step sequencer to build them into a whole track. You can even sample from an external source straight on the DJS-1000 and play the sample back over the current pattern, even in perfect sync.
There are 8 on board FX which are easy to control as well as seamless linking and syncing with Pioneer NXS2 units playing RekodBox prepared tracks linked via RJ45.
Touch ScreenThe 7 inch touch screen is taken from the flagship CDJ2000 NXS2 player, with crisp, bright display and accurate response. It can be used to browse the built in sounds and see which sounds are assigned to each pad together with useful icons and colour coding. The display can be switched to Sequence view to show the pattern being played or to mixer view to adjust the volume or balance of each track. | |
PadsThe 16 performance pads on the DJS-1000 are backlit with RGB LEDs to match the clip colours and are velocity sensitive to play the sounds at different levels depending on how hard the pad is pressed. The pads have 4 modes : Clip triggering, Hot Slice, Slice and Scale to play notes on the pads similar to a keyboard. The multi function touch strip can be used to adjust the track pitch or FX parameters or be assigned to other functions such as MIDI. | |
SequencerThe multi coloured 16 key sequencer lets you create patterns easily using a familiar method. |
