Just announced! Here is the highly anticipated Pioneer DDJ 1000 SRT. The ultimate controller for Serato DJ Pro following on from it's predecessor the Pioneer DDJ 1000 Rekordbox controller.

With in built Pioneer DJ effects taken from the DJM series plus mechanical jog wheels this is really a unique controller for Serato DJ users.

For those mentioning the fingerprints, here's what I've learned. Open up your laptop and turn it on, turn on the controller, then immediately go wash your hands with Dawn dish detergent. Then don't touch anything until you get to your controller and then only touch the controller. It will lessen the fingerprints by about 75%.

Afterward, with a microfiber cloth, give it a quick wipe down, and it will be good as new every time.

I thought, Pioneer would never release a Serato Version from DDJ 1000! But today is the day 🎉😍 Thank you Pioneer, that you don’t forget the Serato user 🙌

I just ordered the srt1000 and have been looking at other video tutorials to see the features/changes in comparison to the SX2, which I currently am using.

YOUR video is hands down the BEST and MOST DETAILED explanation of the buttons and functionality of this controller.

Hats off to you for an EXCELLENT demo, I just subscribed to your channel.

Keep up the great work brother. 🔥👊

After almost 5 years with a DDJ-SX2, this is my next controller 🙌🏿I love everything about it

We have Denon DJ and the In-Music Group (owners of Denon DJ, Numark, Rane DJ, Alto Professional, Akai etc) in general to thank for making Pioneer DJ release a Serato version of DDJ 1000 cause Denon DJ and In-Music Group has been in the news lately for releasing solid DJ gear so not to be left out Pioneer DJ needed to do something to win the hearts of DJs hence the release of the DDJ 1000 SRT. But I ain't complaining tho. Thank you Pioneer DJ, I will be purchasing one ASAP

II'm a 44 year old vinyl dj. Been mixing since 93. When I switched to Serato about 13 years ago, I thought I had doors opening for me.. but the DDJ 1000 SRT really opens up the imagination. Two dudes can play the same set, and they come out totally different. Thank you for going thru the control surfaces. If not, I prolly wouldn't have purchased the DDJ 1000 SRT!!! Much props yo! It seemed like there was a lot going on at first, but there really isn't. It's all about the DJ! Thanks man!

i did watching 10 plus videos about this controller but this one is the best full review and explanation about the features. thank you for help me understand about my next gear.

[NiteMDE]

The amount of times my jaw dropped watching this is insane! Amazing review and never knew half of what I could do in Serato

[GILLYHOM]

That was a very good and fair Review of the Pioneer DDj 1000 SRT especially from a professional and a Serato Dj perspective. Pioneer and Serato working together again is fantastic news. Now I am waiting to see if they will add a Screen like the Denon prime 4 or similar to the Pioneer RX2 for Serato..

[gibrawn]

Really love this video and how you explained what everything does. You basically gave an intro DJ lesson! lol

[zabairiqbal]

I never had this problem with the pioneer DDJS1. I have just upgraded literally two days ago to the SRT controller before that I was using the pioneer DDJ as one had some good memories good mixes I did

[mikebeats]

Great review @Crossfader 👍
Finally a version for Serato.
I tried the Rekordbox version, but the RB software sucked, so i returned it.
This is a great controller by far.

Deliberated long and hard over buying. I tried the FLX6 first and although cool.. was nothing on this. So many awesome features, excellent build quality and the Pitch'n Time keysync feature makes every mix sound perfect. Highly recommended if you have the cash.

[Dr.RO]

My jaw literally dropped, just bought the SX3 but looks like I will be selling it now🥳

[VitaeMusic]

I can’t wait to be on stock again to upgrade!!

[djshenks]

This was an amazing review, thank you so much. I was having a lot of doubts about this controller but you pretty much put my mind at ease. Now to sell my SZ and break the piggy bank to get this one.

[dangervybz]

If it had the serato effects buttons it would be perfect but you showing how to midi map those to commonly unused buttons made up for it 🙌🏿🙌🏿

[LLoyoc]

No wave forms in the Jog Wheels, you can't access serato effects from this controller. No flip controls.
I prefer rekkordbox, you can use pad effects to use the effects of Rekordbox on the controller in edition to the hardware effects.

This is awesome. Crossfader always ahead of the pack with their reviews!
