Our take on the DJS-1000
The Pioneer DJS-1000 is a standalone sampler and sequencer built for live performance, with 16 large velocity-sensitive pads, a 7-inch touchscreen and a step sequencer. It records and loops samples on the fly, syncs to external gear over MIDI and DIN sync, and stores projects on SD cards. It suits DJs and producers who want to build and trigger loops without a laptop. Against grooveboxes like the Elektron Digitakt it offers a bigger performance surface and tighter DJ-booth integration, but it is larger, has no battery and fewer synthesis tools.

- 7-inch touchscreen speeds up sample editing and sequencing
