Sample, Sequence, and Remix on the Fly

Designed to integrate seamlessly into any DJ booth, the Pioneer DJ DJS-1000 sequencer and sampler opens up amazing new performance possibilities. Featuring live sampling, onboard effects, 16-track sequencing, 16 performance pads, and a 7" color touchscreen display, the DJS-1000 is a comprehensive instrument on its own. And its creative potential really comes alive when you begin sampling audio in real time, remix it, and manipulate sounds on the fly. And with MIDI clock and Beat Sync for synchronizing with external devices, the Pioneer DJ DJS-1000 is ready to integrate with virtually any DJ rig.

Remix on the fly with live sampling and sequencing

When you sample audio with the Pioneer DJ DJS-1000, it's instantly ready to loop and be sequenced for creative remixing. Assign your samples and loops to any of the 16 sequencer tracks, then trigger them with the corresponding performance pads. When you sample audio, it is automatically synchronized with the sequencer, so it's instantly ready to loop. For even more creative potential, you can use the touch strip to bend the pitch of a sample or loop, play a drum roll, and other real-time manipulations.

Play samples creatively with the performance pads

While the 16 velocity-sensitive performance pads are used to trigger sequencer tracks, you can also use them to play samples melodically. Or you can slice a sample and play individual sample slices via the pads. You can record your performance to the sequencer for looped playback and further manipulation.

Integrates seamlessly with the DJ booth

The DJS-1000 is designed to fit perfectly alongside the CDJ-2000NXS2 player and the DJM-900NXS2 mixer. And it features Beat Sync, so you can synchronize with your CDJ-2000NXS2 or XDJ-1000MK2 setup using Pro DJ Link. Beat Sync allows you to synchronize your performance by beat/bar with any track that has been analyzed by rekordbox DJ software.

Pioneer djs 1000

I totally love what it does, creativity at it's finest for a DJ.

Everything Is True -And Then Way More.

This unit has become the CPU of my PC-free DJ rig. Beyond its already impressive advertised capabilities as a sampler and sequencer, there simply isn't any other standalone audio processing instrument with its routing and live-performance flexibility.
I use it linked with the Pioneer DJ designed setup of two CDJ2000NXS2 players and one DJM900NXS2 mixer, within which it synchronizes perfectly. However, the real magic lies in that it allows for connection to external gear via line and midi, which can then be routed through one or more of the unit pads for out of this world sound and effect (live) manipulation.

No regerts

This thing is a beast! It's an SP404 on steroids. I have mine synced via MIDI with my Akai Force, and it's been a gamechanger for live performance. I have the DJS set as the master and the Force as a slave, and I have to say I'm pretty impressed! Yes, I could do just about everything the DJS does inside of the Force, but now I can juggle beats between the two machines and I can keep the beat going while I load new tracks in the Force.

The hot slice feature is $$$ and was a pleasant surprise and comes loaded with excellent samples!
Rated 5/5

A great musical instrument

This is one of my favorite gear purchases in a very long time. I run a recording studio and spend a lot of time in front of a computer making music, so I really enjoy hardware for writing music away from the studio environment - and for this the DJS-1000 is amazing. My main use for it however is live performance along with an RC-505mkii looper. Before getting the DJS I was performing with an MPC Live, a Roland MC-707 or both. I haven't looked back for a nanosecond - this thing has totally won me over. Everything is big, easily accessible, clearly laid out and designed to encourage interactivity and fun on stage. And this enjoyability and ease of use makes it shine for writing music as well.

It does not do everything. That's the genius of this box. It has a carefully curated feature set, but it its deeper than you think. For someone who wants a "DAW in a box" it's probably not right. But for anyone who wants a sampler that really feels like a musical instrument it's a home run. I also started using it to sequence my Moog Minitaur and that's super fun as well.

Pioneer is really on to something here. Like everything, there are a few things in the firmware I hope they update, but I have zero interest in a huge bug-ridden feature update and I'm really pleased that Pioneer appears to have no interest in going down this road.

Amazing Performance Capabilities

We added the DJS-1000 to our CDJ-3000 media players and DJM-V10 mixer. We are elevating our live sets from just mixing to actual performing. The possibilities are nearly endless and and will continue to expand with future firmware upgrades. We will make some videos on our OHLR YouTube channel.
