How did you figure all this out? Very helpful

[@ChannaDeSilva]

Hi! I spent a lot of time with it. I bought it and I told myself that I would figure out how to use it. With a lot of trial and error, I got a pretty good grasp of how it operates. From there, it's a matter of integrating it into my DJ sets. I'm glad you like the video!

[@rickkeane7746]

super tidy....great split screen, well scripted and easy to follow, no jumps without explaining....Great stuff!

[@ChannaDeSilva]

Thank you so much! It took quite some time to edit.

[@andreumateulamas]

I am afradi after a 18 minute video you have not explained and given a definition of what is a scene.

[@toby-o-rink]

Hi i see only the scenes but not the patterns. what's up here?

[@djmattpositive]

I was *really* thinking about about returning my recently acquired DJS-1000 but your videos have inspired me to make a fresh start of it. Thanks!!

[@ChannaDeSilva]

Hi! That's super cool!! Please let me know how it goes!

[@renechang2406]

Can one load in individual prerecorded custom stems

[@rosta2899]

I have a Toraiz SP 16 and I still can't with it

[@renechang2406]

Can one create their own customs beat loops and have a whole variety of them scenes patterns etc . All custom created on their own instead of stock premade patterns

[@ChannaDeSilva]

Hi! I'm not sure, I didn't try that...

[@eded9463]

Great ! Lets see next videos ! Keep on this way : you're a very good teacher !

[@DJEthanStone]

great video and thank you for the download. right on man

[@ChannaDeSilva]

Thanks for watching!

[@gabrielncali8999]

Great video! I like the split screen when you load the project back in!

[@ChannaDeSilva]

Thanks!

[@djjas764]

Your videos are good and clear bro.. Very people can make like this..... Keep the work up... and thanks for your effort. Between are you working for Pioneer?

[@ChannaDeSilva]

LOL! No, I don't work for Pioneer. Thanks! I'm glad you like the videos. I'm just a guy trying to perform some live electronic music. Guess what? I have my setup going and everything was working just fine, and then...all MIDI out signals from the DJS1K stopped. No MIDI clock, no MIDI notes. Nothing! WTF?! So I have to wait for Pioneer support to open up and see what's up. If they can't fix it, I'll exchange the thing and go from there...

[@djjas764]

omg thats really really but for the live artist... thanks for letting me know this bug.... hope they listen to you... for toraiz users you know what they did...... ;-) good luck and must make a video of this bug too. So they can see.

[@ChannaDeSilva]

I spoke with Pioneer DJ support and they said it's some sort of hardware failure and the unit needs to be repaired. Luckily, I'm still within my return time from zZounds.com, so I am exchanging it for a new one. They are sending me the new one next week.

[@kevinvodek]

Just bought my DJS this week and am really enjoying these tutorials. Thanks! 😊

[@brianholland2916]

Is that a real cheetah in the back ground?

[@ChannaDeSilva]

LOL!

[@robtronik]

one of the most valuable things about scenes is that you can have a whole new set of samples in a project with their own patterns, which means you can run an entire set of different songs (which is implied obviously in your video) but might be lost on some when trying to figure out how to use scenes within a project. You can create a coherent performance set that way, IOW. Even up to 16 songs if you had one scene per song....

[@ChannaDeSilva]

Yeah man, 16 songs if you can break down each song into 16 patterns. Still trying to figure out how to create build ups...

[@robtronik]

Channa De Silva - DJ Producer Musician mute parts, pick a snare, roll it via effects ribbon, add a filter on top of it, cue up next pattern when ready to end build up, get filter face going, boom, DROP IT. 😂

[@Gabrielrose.mp3]

@@ChannaDeSilva The only problem is that you are still limited to the 256 mb of space. I just tried to export 4 scenes of 64 samples and it was too large sadly.

[@BeardslapRadio]

Are you likely to cover MIDI syncing with other gear such as a drum machine? Getting a clean sync from CDJs to MIDI is one of the big draws of this sampler for me.

[@kimrobinson6838]

Do you have to take the files to a computer and then put them back in the unit?

[@lwpweb]

its like having ableton or maschine in a xdj case.

[@brianholland2916]

Great info

[@ChannaDeSilva]

Thank you!

[@digeratimaster]

I'm new to the DJS loving this and this was just what I wanted to do is get all the scenes all in one place. Looking for your download????

[@ChannaDeSilva]

Hi! It was in the description box - bit.ly/CDSDJS1KSTut

[@burz]

That project link download is impressive. How long did all of that take to put together?

[@ChannaDeSilva]

Hi! It took like 3 months or so.

[@dannycray]

Great tutorial! 👍

[@j.s.2749]

hey channa, highly appreciate your video, amazing work - it helped me a lot! As I see that you also using NI Maschine, I have one question remaining before I go and buy the DJS : Is it possible to prepare Patterns in NI Maschine and export the whole Scene (incl. instruments + Patterns) to the djs tsp program?

[@ChannaDeSilva]

Glad it was helpful! I don't think there is an easy way to do this. I think you might have to bounce out each sample from Maschine to get the samples into the DJS1K. Then, you would have to manually enter the pattern into the DJS1K.

[@dj.j-are]

Channa De good tutiorial just pick this guy up fits well with my set up thank you aging .

[@ChannaDeSilva]

Thank you for watching!!!

[@justinheat1]

holy shit!

[@djjas764]

Cool.... Anytime soon are you making live looping video or performance. Like you used to do with Ableton? that would be great Channa.

[@ChannaDeSilva]

Hi! Yes I am planning on it! I just got the AS-1 and I'm probably getting another couple of synths to round out this system!

[@djjas764]

Channa De Silva - DJ CDS cool.... looking forward for it....

[@TongApollo]

thanks for this !

[@ChannaDeSilva]

No problem!!

[@pennycaughman3475]

Excellent job Sir

[@ChannaDeSilva]

Thank you!

[@wpf312]

Great tut thanks! You mentioned harmonic mixing at the end...does the software analyze loops for key (like rekordbox or mixed in key) and/or can we view key info if file type has metadata (aiff)?

[@ChannaDeSilva]

Hi! No the unit does not display any key information. What I meant was that you would have to organize and know what tracks will be in complimentary keys. That way you can overlap like if you were DJing harmonically.

[@wpf312]

Ok thanks. So you’d have to include key in the name of file or something like that. If you have a lot of scenes loaded (as in this vid) how can you quickly view the name of a scene or all the scenes...(like browse/show info on a cdj)?

[@ChannaDeSilva]

Yeah, you can totally do that. You can save the scenes with a key code in front of it in the file name. You can also save a project with every scene in that project being in one key and label that project the key code. It all depends on how you are using the unit. If you're using it in conjunction whit a CDJ maybe loading up one scene from every key would be good. It's up to you really.

[@wpf312]

Thanks again. Liked and subbed. Have a good NYE!

[@peblom01]

thank you!

[@ChannaDeSilva]

You're welcome!

[@thomaskurumassery5433]

I have some doubts regarding Pioneer DJS-1000. I have been using Akai MPCs for a long time. Currently using Mpc 2500/1000/ Renaissance. My concerns 1) How many samples can I use at a time within a single pattern? ( In MPC, for a pattern we can use 16 x 4=64 samples in A,B,C and D banks normally) 2) How many samples can I layer in a single pad ( In MPC I can stack 4 samples with separate Volume, Pitch and Velocity levels)

[@yutube3799]

1 and 2 - use resampling

[@digeratimaster]

I think I missed the download as this video is a few years old :(
