Reverse- Instant reverse is controlled by using a flickable switch. With no loss of tempo or pitch, it can be used immediately within any track without having to stop or start. Reverse can also be used with the Hot Cue and the Loop Sampler providing endless combinations and effects.

Real Time Seamless Loop- A quick and simple way to set a loop while a track is playing. Once the loop is set, it can then be looped continuously or until the ReLoop / Exit button is pressed. When released, the track continues playing without any pause. The loop can be retrigged at any time by hitting the ReLoop button

Loop In / Out Adjust- (another world first from Pioneer) is the ability to adjust both the In and Out points of a loop stored in memory. Loop-In adjust is only available on the CDJ-1000.

Reloop- Hitting the Reloop button instantly takes you back to the beginning of the loop stored in the CDJ-1000's memory. This can be done either while the loop is playing or at any time while the current track is playing.Clever use of Reloop can create some sample like effects. The same loop is always stored in memory until replaced with a new loop.

Tempo Control Range: Ranges of +/- 6%, +/-10%, +/-16% and +/-24% can be assigned to the Tempo Control slider to offer a greater range of adjustment than on any of the previous Pioneer CDJ's.

Tempo Control Reset: Resets the tempo to 0% or original tempo of the track regardless of the slider position. The button has been recessed to prevent accidental selection.

Cue Functions

Auto Cue: This is the fastest way to find the beginning of a track. The sound level can also be changed to suit your style of music (-36db to &endash;78db). There is also an option to turn it off if you prefer to cue up your CD tracks manually.

Manual Cue: Cue points can be set anywhere on the CD using either the Vinyl or CDJ mode. Adjustment is made by using either the jog dial or manual search buttons. The cue point is automatically stored in the internal memory (If MMC is inserted in CDJ-1000, the cue point is automatically stored in the MMC.) until it is overwritten with a new cue point.

Shock-Proof Memory and Anti-Vibration Construction

Sound jumps or skipping is prevented by using a 16 second shock-proof memory for normal CD play (minimum of 10 seconds if scratching and reading wave data at the same time in Vinyl mode).

Anti-Vibration

Oil-dampened floating suspension prevents sound skipping, even when the player is subjected to impact during use or vibrations generated from high volume music and low frequency bass.
