· re:union Radio editorial · 2 min read
The DDJ-1000SRT brings club-style layout, on-jog displays, and MAGVEL Faders to your desk for Serato DJ Pro.
The Pioneer DJ DDJ-1000SRT is a 4-channel performance controller that AlphaTheta specifically designed for Serato DJ Pro. If you're looking to bridge the gap between the club booth and your home studio, you'll find a layout here that mirrors the CDJ-plus-DJM standard – including full-sized jog wheels and dedicated displays right in the jog.
At a glance
- 4-channel controller, built for Serato DJ Pro
- Full-size jog wheels with Jog Adjust
- Color On-Jog Display for BPM, playback time, and track position in each jog wheel
- 16 illuminated performance pads, plus 4 Sound Color FX and 14 Beat FX
Club Layout for Your Desk
The control panel deliberately follows the design of NXS2 equipment: channel strips, EQ, and effect section are where a DJ expects them to be from CDJ and DJM. This is intended to allow for a seamless transition between club setup and controller – an argument that particularly appeals to techno and house DJs who regularly use both environments.
Jog Wheels with Their Own Display
Each of the two jog wheels features a color LCD that displays BPM, playback time, and track position, so you don't have to glance at your laptop.
Pads and Effects
16 illuminated performance pads cover Hot Cues, Rolls, Slicer, Sampler, and Pitch Play. Additionally, there are 4 Sound Color FX (Pitch, Filter, Dub Echo, Noise) and 14 Beat FX for transitions, plus Key Shift and Key Sync for harmonic track adjustment. For connecting external sources, four inputs are available for CDJs or turntables.
