The New rekordbox dj Experience: Meet the DDJ-1000 Controller, Designed for rekordbox dj
We've created a new DJ controller for dedicated use with our
professional performance application, rekordbox dj. The 4-channel
DDJ-1000 is 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 to download
on 18th January 2018.
The DDJ-1000 offers the ideal solution if you want to play at events and
party venues other than clubs thanks to its easy portability and
brand-new user interface, which is similar to the familiar multi
player/DJM club-standard set-up. Its professional features include full
size jog wheels inherited from the CDJ-2000NXS2 with added On Jog
Display so you can keep an eye on important track information without
looking at your laptop. Bring creative flair to your mixes with 14 Beat
FX and use the 16 multicolored 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.
The significantly updated version of rekordbox includes enhancements to
the Related Tracks feature, adding more options for quickly finding
tracks that are well matched with the one you're playing. And the
improved rekordbox dj Plus Pack brings new additions such as Automix,
which uses the software's upgraded track analysis to automatically and
seamlessly mix tracks.
The DDJ-1000
will be available from mid-February at an MAP of $1,199. It comes
with a bundled licence key for our professional DJ performance
application rekordbox dj, worth $129.
Watch
the DDJ-1000 introduction video or download rekordbox ver 5.1 for
free from 18th January 2018. If you own a licence key for one of the
rekordbox Plus Packs (rekordbox dj, video or dvs), you can upgrade to
the new version of the Plus Pack for free.
KEY FEATURES OF THE DDJ-1000
|
|
1.
|
|
Portable DJ controller with club-style
layout
|
|
|
All the buttons and knobs on the DDJ-1000 are arranged in the same
layout as those on our club-standard CDJ-2000NXS2 and DJM-900NXS2
set-up. The jog wheels are inherited directly from the CDJ-2000NXS2,
so they look and feel familiar to use. As a result, using rekordbox
dj with the DDJ-1000 creates the same experience as playing from USB
drives with a NXS2 set-up. The DJ controller is compact and
portable, too, so you can easily take it wherever you go.
|
|
2.
|
|
Color On Jog Display for quick reference
and accurate performances
|
|
|
A high-definition LCD screen in the centre of each jog wheel
displays information such as playback time, BPM, waveform, playback
position and Hot Cue and Loop points. You can customise the
information you want to see, so there's no need to look at your
laptop during a mix or scratch routine.
|
|
3.
|
|
14 Beat FX including new additions
|
|
|
The DDJ-1000 is loaded with all ten popular Beat FX from our DJM
mixer series plus four new FX for adding creative flair and
texture to your sets. You can instantly reference BPM and the name
of the selected FX without looking at your laptop thanks to the
dedicated Beat FX display.
|
|
|
|
New FX:
|
|
|
•
|
|
Enigma Jet, Mobius Saw, Mobius Triangle - FX that add sound
with a feeling of infinite rising or descending
|
|
|
•
|
|
Low Cut Echo - echo-derived effect that cuts low
frequencies of the echo sound
|
|
4.
|
|
Improved MAGVEL FADER
|
|
|
The DDJ-1000 features a new MAGVEL FADER crossfader, which inherits
the design architecture of the renowned MAGVEL FADER PRO from the
DJM-S9 professional battle mixer. Highly durable for more than 10
million movements, the new MAGVEL FADER enables complicated,
intricate performances with a smooth feel. Plus, we've refined the
software processing for jog wheel and crossfader operation to
significantly reduce latency, so scratching feels more intuitive
than ever.
|
|
5.
|
|
Multiple input/outputs enable different
set-ups
|
|
|
DJ changeovers are a breeze for rekordbox dj users thanks to the two
USB ports for PC/Mac. The DDJ-1000 has four external input terminals
for DJ players and analog turntables, plus two Mic inputs. You can
also use the DDJ-1000 as a stand-alone DJ mixer without connecting a
PC/Mac.

KEY FEATURES OF REKORDBOX VER 5.1
|
|
1.
|
|
Automix for smooth and natural automatic
mixing
|
|
|
Drop tracks into an Automix playlist and rekordbox dj will mix them
accurately and smoothly. Phrases in a track are now detected by the
newly developed phrase analysis algorithm in the track analysis
section of rekordbox's KORETECH engine. In addition to the phrase
information, Automix uses track information such as beat position,
BPM and key to make mixes sound natural. You can scratch, apply FX
and change the order of tracks during Automix.
|
|
2.
|
|
Advanced Related Tracks feature brings
more detailed search criteria
|
|
|
The popular Related Tracks feature - which displays tracks that are
well matched with the one you're currently playing - has been
significantly upgraded. You can easily find even more relevant
tracks using increased search criteria such as artists, comments and
file formats, and you can save your custom criteria and call it up
at any time. This feature is highly useful for creating unique sets
from tracks you might not have otherwise thought to mix together.
