he black Pioneer DJ DJS-1000 is a standalone, live-performance DJ sampler, designed to integrate into any Pioneer DJ NXS or XDJ setup. The sampler features a 7" full-color touchscreen, 16 multicolored step input keys, 16 multicolored performance pads, a host of inputs and outputs, plus live sampling capabilities.
The 7" touchscreen provides access to projects, sampling, and FX as well as sequence editing, track setting, and the mixer. There are 16 tracks available for sequencing loops, one-shots, and sound FX. Each track utilizes a time-stretch engine that runs in real time and allows for on-the-fly synchronization. A Pro-DJ Link port is provided, which allows the sampler to beat sync with any Pioneer DJ multi-player such as the CDJ-2000NXS2 or XDJ-1000MK2. Should you wish to synchronize manually, a tempo slider and nudge buttons are provided.
The rear panel provides 1/4" inputs and outputs, as well as stereo RCA outputs and two 5-pin DIN connectors for MIDI in and out/thru. The sampler also offers two USB connectors (Type-A & Type-B) for connecting flash drives containing sample libraries, as well as connecting to a personal computer (Mac/Windows). The free DJS-TSP software is available for creating scenes and projects offline. Additionally, any files created with the Pioneer DJ Toraiz SP-16 are compatible for seamless transitions from studio to the stage. The Pioneer DJ DJS-1000 ships with a USB cable, LAN cable, stereo RCA cable, and a power cord.
