The DJS-1000 brings professional-grade sampling and sequencing directly into your DJ booth, offering unprecedented creative control over your live performances. This powerful unit features a 7-inch full-colour touchscreen alongside 16 multicoloured step input keys and performance pads, allowing you to craft unique sounds and phrases both during preparation and mid-set. The intuitive DJ-friendly interface makes sequencing and looping samples straightforward, whilst the changing colours on the step keys provide constant visual feedback on sequence information across each track. Creative expression reaches new heights with the ability to load up to 16 samples onto the large rubber pads for finger drumming and real-time sound layering. The multicolour LEDs clearly indicate which samples are active, while Velocity Mode responds to your touch pressure for dynamic volume control. Additional performance features include a touch strip for pitch bending, Note Repeat for drum rolls, and three dedicated LCD screens - Home for sample overview, Sequence for pattern viewing, and Mixer for individual track volume adjustment. Professional integration comes standard through Pro DJ Link compatibility with CDJ and XDJ setups, ensuring seamless synchronisation across your entire rig. The Beat Sync function works alongside manual tempo controls including a slider and Nudge button, replicating the familiar feel of turntable operation. Live sampling capabilities automatically sync captured sounds with your current sequence, enabling instant loop playback and live remix integration that keeps your sets flowing naturally.
