Pioneer DJ Pioneer, Black (DDJ-SP1)

Product Information

The DDJ-SP1 is designed to be the ideal companion to Pioneer’s new DJM-900SRT mixer but can also be matched with other systems via its MIDI controller functionality. Intended to be used alongside a DVS Serato DJ set-up, this gives you performance pads with seven modes for hot cue, roll, sampler, slicer and loops, slip mode and even Serato Video control, all to liberate you from reaching for the laptop to do these.

In single effect mode, the same knobs and buttons control effect on/off, effect amount, and then other varying parameters according to the effect. Accurate loops, scratches and reverses can be made through the use of Slip Mode when a DJ controller or CD player is connected. If there is something to nitpick about the DDJ-SP1 is that it could have used more options to manipulate effects instead of just a single volume fader, though it assumes you’re already using a DJ mixer that has EQs and perhaps other FX onboard such as filters and modulation effects like in Pioneer DJ’s DJM mixer range. This portable MIDI controller comes with 4-Deck Control for supported 4-deck hardware, as well as 16 velocity‑sensitive Performance Pads with seven pad modes for enhanced hands-on performance, including a Serato Video control layer. This is a great way to add some expressive riffing to your set with little consequence for mistakes.

In this mode, the FX section is taken to control Serato Video effects, so it can’t be used for audio effects, but the pads continue to work as normal.

Once you exit Serato Video control mode by pressing Shift + Auto Loop push encoder again, Serato Video will continue to operate until you disable it in Setup, but you will regain use of the audio effects controls. Deliver effective finger drum performances with simple control of the sampler volume at your fingertips.

Besides the mixer and transport controls that will be handled from your other Serato DJ unit, the SP-1’s deck sections cram enough performance controls into them to dominate much of your attention while DJing.
