DJS-1000 mods

• loading...

1. Plug it in

   Save your project first. Loading a new patch restarts the app and loses unsaved changes. Eject the stick properly, then plug it into the DJS-1000's USB port, with the unit on or off. With a network cable connected, allow up to a minute for the mods to load.

2. With CDJs

   rec-length, loop-bounce, rec-quantize on CDJ beats and the track title in sample-names work with CDJs on the same Pro DJ Link network.

   For the title the DJS has to join the link as a player: set UTILITY, PLAYBACK MODE to Player, and give it a player number of its own that no deck uses: 1 to 4, or up to 6 when every deck on the link is a CDJ-3000 or later (the older decks answer to no more than 4).

   In Drum Machine mode, or with no free number on the link, the decks do not answer and a take is named after the deck instead, such as deck2 120 2.

   The mods look for a free number from 1 to 4 on their own: on a link of CDJ-3000 decks where those are taken, set sample-deck-as to 5 or 6.

3. Controls and settings

   Each mod's controls are on the screens it changes (they are described next to it above). Each mod's settings are listed under it above. Some can be changed on the unit, at the end of the UTILITY screen, under MODS (hold HOME for two seconds to open it), and the others are lines of djs1000-mods.txt on the stick.

4. Turn off or remove

   To turn a mod off, edit djs1000-mods.txt (name = off) or install again with it unticked. Startup-only settings need a restart, not just reinserting an unchanged patch. To remove all runtime changes, delete autoexec.bin, eject the stick and power-cycle the unit. Saved projects and settings are not reverted.

5. Report a problem

   Something does not work? Report it (a form on GitHub). Say which mod, the version above and what you saw, and add the log from the stick if there is one (djs1000-mods-app.log). Please attach nothing from Pioneer DJ.

6. What it writes to the stick

   The first time, the unit also writes djs1000-report.txt and a copy of its own settings, djs1000-backup/data.tar, on the stick. They only read the unit and stay on your stick.

What you download

A runtime patch package containing a library, startup script and mod list, not a complete firmware image or update. The device key is not provided. The mods load into memory without flashing the unit. Runtime changes end when it is switched off, while saved projects and settings remain.

No warranty

The mods are provided as is, with no warranty of any kind. Using them may stop the unit behaving as designed, and may affect your warranty or the support the manufacturer gives you. Back up your projects first, try them away from a gig, and do not rely on them where a failure would matter. You are responsible for what you run on your equipment. The authors are not liable for any damage, data loss or other harm that follows from using them.

Your own unit

They are meant for a unit you own, for your own use, so that it works with other equipment you own. Do not use them to copy or share anyone's music or software.

Licence

The mods are free to use. Their source isn't published yet as it depends closely on the firmware's internals.

Privacy

This page runs in your browser. The stick is read and written there. Nothing from it is sent to us.
