![]() This may still be the perfect controller for you. Some may like this, but others will wish for the same as Rekordbox users get. You get none of the lovely colour waveforms, none of the cue info – it’s just really what you get on the Serato decks on the laptop screen. Displays are very different to the Rekordbox version Looking forward to checking this one…) 7. (Update: you can turn on “Beat Jump display in Serato, but remains to be seen if it shows on the screen. Baffling – and I hope somebody proves me wrong, but really, I looked and I looked. Beat Jump is cool but only half-implementedįor the life of me I couldn’t find where on the screen or the controller you’re told the Beat Jump setting, so you have to work it out by trial and error. Be careful (this stuff can sound awful), but also – try things out! This is where digital DJing can get fun! 6. Key sync, key lock, key up, key down, and (new) key reset are right by the jog and the pitch fader, screaming to be used creatively. Even better, when you hit “record” in Serato, even though they’re hardware FX, they’re all recorded (as are external inputs). And they all feel EXACTLY like those on the DJM-900 mixers. The Sound Color FX (with the exception – for me – of the overpowering “Noise” effect) are awesome, and the Beat FX are powerful and extensive. So there’s no Serato FX – but Pioneer’s ROCK. Not a huge thing, maybe, but a missed opportunity to keep it simple. Basically quickly setting a loop and then halving or doubling it to the length you want is harder than it has to be here because for some reason, they’ve decided that workflow should involve the “Shift” button. You can use it, but they did it better on the DDJ-1000 for Rekordbox. I actually didn’t like the way they’d implemented looping, and it didn’t warm on me. It is the biggest departure from “conventional” controller layout, and will come as a shock to many Serato users. If you want to, you’ll need an accessory Midi controller to do so (such as the Pioneer DJ DDJ-SP1). There is no control at all over Serato’s effectsĪll of the effects available to you via the DDJ-1000SRT’s controls are Pioneer’s, and built-in to the unit. ![]() (Our Rekordbox vs Serato video may help.) 2. So think hard, because changing your software down the line is much harder than changing your controller. But those days are over – this is not a dual software controller. Many previous Serato controllers did, so you could have “the best of both worlds”. This definitely does not work with Rekordbox Make sure you check out our full review of the DDJ-1000SRT too – but for now, let’s dig in… Seven Things To Consider Before Buying 1. And also, it is not simply a Serato version of the Rekordbox edition, the original DDJ-1000 – some things are decidedly different. Because while this is a controller that will deservedly do well, it is not a typical Serato DJ controller – and it could be that a different style of controller suits you better. It has the pro DJ booth look and feel, including full-sized CDJ-style jogwheels and a DJM-900 style mixer, but under the skin, it’s a controller for Serato DJ software.īut before you say “game, set and match” and get your wallet out, it is worth scratching a bit deeper than the surface. ![]() If you play a track live, please support the artist that spent countless hours producing that track.The new Pioneer DJ DDJ-1000SRT for Serato is a controller many people have been waiting a LONG time for (and many more thought would never happen). ![]() r/Soundsystem has a wiki that goes over how Sound Systems workįeel free to contribute to this list!
