DJS-1000 Guide (PDF): 200+ grooves, drills and a harmonic compass
The DJS-1000 can be a loop box or a live instrument. This is the biggest of the guides: every button and screen, then a groove library, signature recipes, melodic and bass figures, a harmonic compass for all 24 keys and a graded drill book.

Is it for you?
Made for you if

- You want to play live drums and parts over your DJ set
- You produce and want the sampler to sit in key with the record
