Pioneer do it again with a new DJ controller designed for use with their professional performance application, Rekordbox dj. The DDJ-1000 is a 4 channel controller designed to help you get the most from the new features coming to Rekordbox dj following the release of the latest version of Rekordbox (ver 5.1). The upgraded software will be available on 18th January 2018.
The DDJ-1000 is perfect if you want to play at gigs and venues other than clubs as this controller is small enough to move around but still offers loads of pro features including CDJ size platters. The controller is laid out in a very familiar Pioneer format similar to the familiar multi player/DJM club-standard set-up. This controller has inherited the platter from the NXS2 range, but now with add colour jog display so you can keep an eye on important track information without looking at your laptop. This controller boosts new effects and features never seen at this level, giving the DJ plenty of opportunity to be creative with 14 Beat FX and use the 16 multicoloured Performance Pads (8 per deck) to trigger various features including Hot Cues, Pad FX and Keyboard Mode, which enables you to play a Hot Cue in different semitones. This allows you to improvise with sounds and create musical phrases as if you were playing on the keyboard of a synthesizer or other instrument. Here at Phase One DJ store we believe this has taken the power of REKORDBOX to the next level. The Mixer section of the controller has built in effects as well, thus allowing the use of effects during the mix without using up precious computer power on your laptop. The DDJ-1000 is also rekordbox DVS ready and comes with a full version of the software.
