PIONEER CDJ-1000 MK3 DJ-WORKSTATION

Product Information

The XDJ-1000, along with the CDJ-900NXS and CDJ-2000NXS are designed for standalone use, providing all the DVS-style features modern DJs demand while freeing users from the laptop. Other improvements to earlier versions included bigger, lighter displays; a 100 dots waveform display instead of the earlier 50 dots waveform; the ability to record loops into hot cue slots instead of just cue points. The high-quality powder coating is resistant to scratches and other negative environmental influences. A bearing is missing from the jog wheel assembly which I do not have a picture of but doesn’t affect the jog wheel. The DJ Stand can hold two CDJ’s /1210’s and 19" mixer plus space for laptop or monitor speakers, Hidden mountings and cavities for comfortable cable routing.

We supply AV hire production companies, installer / integrators, retailers and resellers operating within the live entertainment, leisure, commercial, residential and retail markets throughout the UK. Before its introduction, few clubs adopted CD decks, either due to their lack of DJ functionality and overall robustness, or due to the fact that DJs still preferred the vinyl format, as most of the music they played was still far more prevalent on vinyl than CD media.If necessary, the position can be quickly and easily adjusted to changed requirements in a few easy steps, as the most important settings can be adjusted using quick-release fasteners. This meant I twisted the pot to the far left for instant start-up and stops, which wasted the feature. Press the Link button in Rekordbox and your XDJ-1000s will show up at the bottom of Rekordbox’s screen on your computer. You can load tracks from a variety of sources, as already mentioned, but you can’t play tracks from an iPhone or iPad unless you’re running the Rekordbox app (available for iOS and Android), and even then you’ll have to import tracks on your iOS device into Rekordbox before you can play them. Everyone has their own preference when it comes to jog feel, so it’d be good to have some way of modifying it to your own taste.

Both the CDJ-100S and the CDJ-200 had similar options to manipulate the CD, however they lacked the vinyl modes of other models. Also when scratching, I found that the XDJ-1000 would sometimes take a moment longer than I’d expected to start playing again. The Pioneer CDJ-2000 was introduced into the CDJ-range of digital turntables targeted for professional DJs [21] simultaneously with the CDJ-900 on September 17, 2009.Even better it has Slip mode, although it doesn’t work as well as we’d like, as I’ll explain in a moment. There are some features that I couldn’t excited about, such as the way the light around the USB port changes depending on the way you’ve colour coded your playlists, but that doesn’t mean that other people won’t find such features valuable. Only time will tell how age and accumulated dirt and grease will affect the XDJ-1000’s touchscreen, especially with it being pressure-sensitive rather than capacitive, but it remained responsive throughout the test period and didn’t give us any cause for concern. It included a loop function, as well as loop-out adjust, and other facilities associated with looping samples from the track being played.

Certainly, with the XDJ-1000 you can create playlists for sets, create hot-cues and loops and then export your tracks to a USB flash drive for use on a pair of CDJ-2000s. I’m a big fan of DVSs and computer-based DJing in general, as is the rest of the DJWORX team, but there’s no denying the freedom afforded by standalone decks such as the XDJ-1000. On the back of the CDJ-400 was another USB connector that could be used to connect the CDJ-400 to a computer.You get used to the way the screens work, especially because almost everything is done and accessed through the screen, but it can be confusing initially. You also have the option of exporting tracks from Rekordbox on a computer to your iOS device, even wirelessly. This means that you can press the reverse button for the final bar before a breakdown, for instance, and the track will enter the breakdown once you’ve turned off reverse. Its resolution has been doubled, the lighting is multicolour and fluorescent and, as well as displaying the total number of tracks and track position, the WAVE data and playing address details are extended so that a DJ can see a track's entire length at a glance.
