The Pioneer CDJ-1000MK3 features the same robust
build, polished look, and clear layout as previous CDJs. But the subtle
revisions add more intuitive features, make it easier to transport
music, and improve track info: refinements that make cueing, looping,
scratching, and stretching a track easier than ever. With full MP3
support including VBR files, intelligent features, such as the direct
folder search button, you can quickly access files within folders on
the disc for intuitive, fast cueing. A total wide tempo range (+70% to
" 100%) also gives greater control than other models. An instant reverse
feature is controlled with a toggle switch and can be used immediately
within any track without having to stop or start.
Along with
multimedia cards, SD cards are now also compatible with the CDJ-1000MK3
so that hot cues, hot loop points, and WAV display data can be easily
stored and loaded. The removable memory card can also be used in any
CDJ-1000, so once you've stored your favorite cue and loop points
they're stored for life. The CDJ-1000MK3 also has a feature that allows
you to duplicate memory cards. The display of the MK3 has been improved
to give more accurate display of memory points within the track.
The
CDJ-1000MK3's 7" jogdial has been improved so you can quickly and
easily alter the resistance of the jog wheel to tailor it to your
individual style. The jogdial also features a new metallic nonslip
finish. The jogdial display has also been improved with a raised
fluorescent display to increase brightness and a larger cue marker with
new 45° angle marks to make it easier for scratch DJs to time their
effects. The track display resolution has been doubled, the lighting is
multicolor and fluorescent and, as well as displaying the total number
of tracks and track position, the WAV data and playing address details
are extended so you can see a track's entire length at a glance.
Hot
cue is now partnered with a new hot loop feature that stores up to 3
loops per track. These points can then be recalled by hitting either of
the A, B, or C buttons. This function can also be used like a mini
sampler for vocals, stabs, or breaks. Realtime seamless loop offers 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 re-trigged at any time by
hitting the ReLoop button. Fine-tuning a loop is quick and easy with
the ability to adjust both the in and out points of a loop stored in
memory.
The CDJ-1000MK3 can be set in either Vinyl or CDJ
mode. In CDJ mode, the jog dial functions just like a Pioneer CDJ
player, but without the touch sensitivity. When the CDJ-1000MK3 is in
vinyl mode, the top of the jog dial functions just like a vinyl
turntable. Pressing down stops the music and allows you to scratch or
cue your track by rotating the jog dial in either direction. Separate
control knobs allow for quick adjustment of start and stop timing.
Pioneer's
master tempo locks the pitch of the track even when you change the
speed so you can speed up or slow down the beat without any noticeable
difference in how the vocal and instruments sound. A 100mm linear
high-precision slider gives you total control and ensures that the
tempo adjustment is easy and accurate. Ranges of +/- 6%, +/-10%, +/-16%
and +/-100% (+70%/-100% for MP3) can be assigned to the tempo control
slider. Tempo control reset restores the tempo to 0% or original tempo
of the track regardless of the slider position.
Auto cue 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 " 78dB). There is
also an option to turn it off if you prefer to cue up your CD tracks
manually. A cue point can be set on the fly and stored into the
internal memory by just simply hitting the in/real-time cue button. The
current cue point is indicated within the jogdial's center display to
show where the cuepoint is relative to the current play position.
Equipped
with Pioneer's wide range technology-Legato Link Conversion-the
CDJ-1000MK3 is capable of reproducing sound frequencies above 20kHz,
which are lost during normal CD-format playback. Not only does this
give great sound reproduction but sounds closer to the original
recording and more analog like vinyl.
The CDJ-1000 has a guard
to prevent you from accidentally pressing the eject button. The CD is
locked until the track is stopped. This can be deactivated as well if
you are looking to do quick mixes. The player also features a new Quick
Return function; in the event you accidentally eject a playing CD,
reinserting the CD will resume playback from the point the music
stopped.
Sound jumps or skipping is prevented by using
shockproof memory for continuous playback even in the event of a bump
or knock. 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.
The
CDJ-1000MK3 is equipped with full-feature digital output. This means
you can keep your scratching and master tempo playback entirely in the
digital domain. Users who simply want to use the digital output for
archival purposes may do so via the digital mode switch on the rear of
the unit. All connectors on the rear of the unit are now gold-plated
for higher connection quality and longevity.
