Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX10 vs DDJ-1000 comparison - What's the difference?

[@ShaunyWalker]

The DDJ 1000 Will always remain a future classic. The DDJ FLX 10 is an evolution.

[@ravidavis1847]

Well put!! Nice insight burv.

[@nikoandrusic5426]

I really like the flx 10 and it looks amazing however i am really happy with my ddj 1000 and the small feature upgrades the new controller gives are not reasonable enough for me to buy it. Four decks are four decks that is all what matters 🤙🏼

[@JohnoScott]

AND you can program the pads on the DDJ1000 to be RGB parts/stems controllers in rekordbox

[@JohnoScott]

@Steven Shearer yea i agree they could be better but are they better on the DDJ1000 than the FLX10 ?

[@JohnoScott]

@Steven Shearer hopefully there will be a software update to improve it

[@djalejandro312]

Biggest thing I'd like to know is if there is noticeable improvements to the sound quality output and microphone quality output. That plus the ability to run Serato is the biggest value for me.

[@DJShuffle07]

I guess that means I'm about to get the DDJ 1000, I'm ready for it 😎🔥🎧🎶

[@hnrik_music]

If you have a DDJ-1000 I honestly don't see any big reason to upgrade. The stems feature on RB are sub-par to say at least with the competition (although this is a software issue not hardware), and, this personal taste, but I prefer much much more the jogwheels and the all illuminated key pads on the 1000 vs the flx10.

[@medlish]

Upgrade, no. RB stems are sub-par atm, true, but you can always go to serato and I'm sure RB will improve their stems with time. You can also just map the stem buttons on the DDJ-1000, you can even map them on the 400. It's more about having the dedicated buttons. Personally I wouldn't upgrade from the 1000, but if you are looking to upgrade from a 2ch or an "entry level" 4ch, this is definitely worth looking at.

[@tharukkus]

Very true, buy I have both the 1000 & the XZ. The XZ has the same pads the FLX10 does so even though I prefer the 1000s' I'm already used to the FLX10s'.

[@tommydellz]

Help me out here, I'm getting back into all this after years out of the game. What's "the competition" with better stems features?

[@hnrik_music]

@@tommydellz Right now the best algorithm for Stems is without a doubt Virtual DJ 2.0, second is Serato.

[@Nogi-aka-DJNugz]

It’s an absolute monster of an upgrade - it feels and sounds better, jogwheels are tighter

What are you going on about? You can adjust the jogwheels on the 1000.

[@Nogi-aka-DJNugz]

@@davidedwards3838 I just like the feel of these new jogwheels. they are slightly different. maybe they feel tighter since they are new? the design is slightly different too.

[@alkotamusik]

It’s the same jog wheel just different design going around 😑

[@brandobecerro]

You can map the stems feature to one of the pad options. I mapped stems to my samples feature since I never use that. I got the DDJ1000srt.

[@JoshWaller]

@@alkotamusikno, they’re actually not the same jog. Pioneer made them closer to the 3000 jogs as opposed to the NXS jogs that the 1000’s had. Still not 100% on par with the 3000’s, but much tighter than the 1000’s.

[@akamaih6463]

You can map the stems functions to any pioneer controller that has pads (ie DDJ 1000, FLX 4, etc ) so if stems is the only reason you're upgrading first look at mapping to your current controller to rekordbox.

[@djkit]

This is a good call, but look at those new buttons! 😍

[@DjNemes1s]

Are they unlocked on the DDJ1000 RB license though or do you need to pay for a higher tier RB sub to unlock stems for mapping?

​@@djkitthoughts on the build and in comparison to the DDJ 1000. Bare in mind I've never seen or touched the ddj 1000 in person. So idk how the FLX 10 compares. What's the 1000 like? Is the FLX 10 the same or better? Any differences? Does any part of it feel cheap and plastic like the Flx - 6 or is it a quality build, durable and feel nice? Or does anyone else have this answer if they've seen both. Just curious. Appreciate your time and answer! Cheers 🍻

[@djkit]

@@rubenreyes3125 it's the same build as the DDJ1000 in pretty much all areas. Nothing like (much better than) the FLX6.

[@bahalospanty]

I absolutely love the FLX 10. Solid controller you will not be disappointed.

[@enprisezzz]

Thanks for that great comparison. I just purchased a new laptop last week and I didn't know I may be getting a new DJ controller this week. I've loved my DDJ1000 since it came out. I left Traktor and my 4-Trak as it was glitchy the second I got it. I had been on Traktor for so long. Getting the DDJ1000 "forced" me to check out rekordbox and besides one little difference, I've loved it. I think delaying the SRT was huge in my decision at that time. I always was weary of the "norm" as Serato was the norm. Perhaps, this will allow me to try both! Anyway, I'm most excited, beyond the stems, the DMX ability. I have some Gigbars that I would love to see someone demonstrate!!

[@Bertiemang]

I can't believe the FLX10 doesn't have a nub on the tempo fader to indicate when it's neutral

[@shari_8410]

and i can't understand , why the Hell Pioneer does 6 CFX on FLX 10 so far but still no damn PARAMETER Knob to manupulate the Fxs too much empty place justr wasted 🙄🙄 no Chane to midi Map the Software Parameter Knob aswell , just stupid .. For me FLX 10 only Points in the enhanced Jog Displays ( 3 Band Waveform , Stacked Waveforms , PAD View , ) otherwise not realy New Clubstandard Layouting .. Still too much DDJ-1000 Look. just to leave the outer Rings of the Jogwheel Edges black instead of the silver/Aluminium Look like the DDJ-1000 SRT ..

[@dantecelle]

DDJ-FLX10 for sure. I had the DDJ-1000srt. It was great. This has better features.

[@DJBennyswift]

This was a really nice comparison of both controllers, I almost got the ddj-1000srt back in January but was told to hold off because a new one was coming, so I waited and saw the leaks, I’m a bit saddened that it’s geared more for Rekordbox and Serato is secondary, but it works with both softwares. I tried to hold off and was going for the Rane Four, buuuuuut I just ordered the FLX10 and it should be here to my home by Thursday! I’m really excited to see how I can work it.

[@DJBennyswift]

Update on FLX10……I honestly love it and use it with both Rekordbox and Serato, which both run perfectly well, just minor differences with softwares. Very happy with this investment for my DJ business.

[@JoshWaller]

Great vid. I pre-ordered the FLX-10, but there’s some things I absolutely hate about it, and am not looking forward to: 1. Jog surrounds - don’t like the new style, makes them look cheap as opposed to the 1000’s. 2. No click on tempo slider - why? No need for them to take it out, going to be a pain in the arse now to not flick it by accident and reset tempo. 3. Wish the hot cues were fully lit, not partially. Overall, I’m looking forward to it, but I don’t know how I’ll cope with those 3 things among others lol.

[@sdot3358]

What are your thoughts on the split cue? Apparently flx don't have it.

[@JoshWaller]

@@sdot3358 honestly doesn’t bother me as I’ve never used it, I just switch between cue and master when I’m in the mix, but it would’ve been nice to have. Shame considering that this is the new flagship controller and it’s either missing a lot or has quite a lot wrong with it

[@JadeEyeland]

no center detente makes it so you can do more precise tempo +/-

[@ravidavis1847]

I have been watching tons of gear vids! This was so nice and concise. Honestly I think so many controllers have too many bells and whistles..but this FLX10 is so intuitive. I'm from the school - a controller doesn't make a DJ. But thiis FLX10 looks like it could take your performance and eye hand control to new levels. I'm going to get it when I know I can devote the time (and cash). I also want to learn Roland line of controllers soon.

[@ljthirtyfiver]

Am a beginner dj when I started I bought the 1000srt . Still Trying to understand the world of dj and how to use a controller so I’ll stick with it for now….but that flx10 is fire. When I progress I’ll invest in one

Why the USB C though. That's bound to pop out at the first inconvenient moment.

[@jayh1264]

Great comparison, but I must say I'm sticking to my ddj1000 not much of a upgrade to warrant a new controller specially when it's geared to just rekordbox and serato, yes you get it, I'm a virtual dj lover as I have had the pro software for well over 15year, I don't intend to purchase another software just to get a new controller, plus I have tried rekordbox as a trial at begin and had many glitches with it, maybe all iron out now, but I'm heard the stems separation is not great, hence not upgrading only if and when virtual dj maps it or another new controller hit the market and take my fancy, 😔

[@dapremednb]

Great video, but master tempo and key synch are not the same thing

[@marcosbabeto]

Looks like a nice dj gear. I have a ddj sz. I don't know if I Should replace my sz to flx10. My sz release DVS and flx10 doesn't.

Yea, the FLX10 is DVS compatible for Serato, but not a hardware unlock!

I’ve owned a DDJ-1000 for Rekordbox for almost a year now, and I still believe that I’m sticking with it for as long as it will last. That may just be the pro basic controller I’ll only go up to. The FLX10 looks cool though.

[@nodaysoff2005]

You can remap 90% of the buttons to the DDJ. For stems and USB c it isn't worth the upgrade

[@break_the_system]

I didn't see much difference. high-quality displays and dmh. except dmh everything else is secondary. I use Serato on my 1000srt and have added the stems feature to the slicer. the operation of stems on rubber pads is much more practical, faster and more efficient than on small built-in buttons. thanks for the review

[@djphilter]

How do you enable Master Tempo?

[@daversqq]

I bought flx10 only because it’s not possible to buy a ddj1000 anymore. I just like the ddj1000 much more. Only what I like on flx10 is better crossfader and the lcd screens. Maybe fx working for isolated parts is a nice add up. But stems itself I don’t need. And the design of jogwheels of flx10 is very disturbing (I don’t like the whole flx series but I want an upgrade). I still wait for the shipment but I also know I will love it despite loving ddj1000 much more :)

[@borroq]

how was the flx10 for you so far? i am planning to buy a flx 10 because i can t find the 1000 no more :(

[@daversqq]

You won’t be able to get a brand new ddj1000 unless some left overs in warehouse in few shops across the world but the chances to find it will be very low. Despite the design, I love how flx 10works, it’s better than ddj1000 with performance. No issues with it :)

[@borroq]

@@daversqq thank you for your response! Any problems with the fact that the crossfader doesn’t have a neutral +0- click?

[@daversqq]

The jogwheels are a little bit loose but I got responses from many top DJs that it seems normal. Some models are without it but it doesn’t affect anything at all except being scared at first :)

[@daversqq]

As goes for the jogwheels it affects all mechanical jogs, 1000 had same issue for most users

[@LachieMcg]

If price wasn’t a factor for t would be a no brainer. I recently got a new ddj1000 for half the rrp of the flx10 so I’m happy since I can midi map most of the features I’m missing out on

[@LachieMcg]

@Steven Shearer awesome ideas to customise. Yeah I’ve been loving it. I paid a few hundred Aussie bucks more than half price but they chucked in some monitors worth $400 so that worked out round about half price. The features of the flx10 seem sooooo similar. I wonder if the audio quality is any different

[@daft009]

I see the ddj1000 now for AU$1500 which is less than half of the flx10!

[@LachieMcg]

@@daft009 that’s an awesome price , where at?

[@Epicsburg]

I also just picked up a 1000 rekordbox for a killer price. I'll just map the new features.

[@b-krazy]

in my opinion, the DDJ-FLX10 is just a small upgrade of the DDJ-1000, sure some features were added, some removed, and others improved, but maybe in practice, both are the same thing that performs the same.. .

[@b-krazy]

@Steven Shearer my consumer desire has always been the DDJ1000, I believe it was one of the best equipment ever produced, so much so that they launched the DDJ-FLX10 with the same aesthetics and more advanced features, in other words, let's say it is an update of the DDJ1000

[@b-krazy]

@Steven Shearer I also think friend... because let's be honest... DDJ1000, there is no better device... not even the XDJ-XZ which is an incredible piece of equipment, it gets to be as good as the 1000, even if the XZ doesn't depend on a notebook, but For me, without a doubt, the 1000 has always been and always will be my consumer dream, too bad the prices in Brazil are very high due to the amount of taxes...

[@AlphablueOfficial]

Great side by side hardware review! I own the DDJ-1000 and the RB-DMX1 and I still ordered this within an hour of it releasing. The biggest selling point for me was the instant doubles for stems, allowing me granular control of the stems on channels 3/4. That, along with per-stem FX, and it was an instant buy. People will complain about the quality of the stems, but not only was it an intentional decision by Pioneer to make the stems lower quality to allow more systems to be able to handle them, the quality is hardly noticeable when you are mid-mix. Overall, this was an easy buy and will be the flagship for the next half-decade.

[@Grabbe393]

Instant doubles and stem fx are working with the DDJ1000, as well

[@annasimonagarofalo]

about the pads, honestly I think those of my ddj1000 are better as I'm afraid that then with the use of the black color of those of the flx10 it will go away

[@OFresh]

amazing video thank you!!! might just upgrade!

[@takingafatdump]

i do not think the flx is a true replacement. i watched the pioneer video and he talks about the different pattern in the jog wheels signifying that it belongs to the flx series not the ddj 1000 series. we might see a refreshed 1000 for the same price point at some point down the line

[@djkit]

I think I saw the same video. He says the FLX series is replacing the current range where there have been two models. One for each software. This IS the DDJ1000 replacement, Pioneer have said so. We think it's a worthy update.

[@DjMarkyBatch]

I think the FLX10 is genius by pioneer, people will buy it to use serato stems which are 'better' realise they cant use it due to processing power of their existing laptop, but instead of going and buying a new £1K laptop macbook air M1 onwards, they will just switch to rekordbox, and it just works... then when they use rekordbox and realise library management is awesome, FX are killer by comparison with Pad effects too, they will transition over fully. Has everyone missed this point? if the FLX10 was only serato, then this would not be marketable indirectly. and the fact it has DMX too, well, its the nail in the coffin for serato, with £8 per month soundswitch subscriptions, and additional hardware. I really fancy the FLX10, to replace my Roland DJ707m, I think its awesome.

The differences between both units are more esthetic than functional to switch from the DDJ1000 to the FLX-10. Steam separation is not that great in Rekordbox and can be easily made in the DDJ1000.

I just don't feel the draw to upgrade from my DDJ-1000SRT. I love Serato, but the new features on the FLX-10 for stems just isn't going to work. And why didn't Pioneer separate out the bassline/rhythm part/stem when everyone else has? Seems like a missed opportunity, imo. The only thing I see that I'd love to have is the stem/cue. But I have a feeling that's going to happen for me either way in the near future. 100%, not even going to consider selling my SRT for an upgrade. To me, it's just not worth the $1600 price tag (especially since I'm not a RB fan) and I'm certain the price of the DDJ-1000s are about to drop significantly and you still, for the most part, get the same features.

Nice comparison. I was waiting for someone to do a side by side. Couple questions here. The build. Is it made of plastic and feel cheap? Or does it feel like quality like actually cdjs 2000 nx2 and a djm 900 nx2? How's the jog wheel feel? Similar to the 1000s? Better? I heard the sound card is better and the phono lines are much better than the 1000s original. That true? Appreciate your time! Cheers 🍻

[@beatslucas]

I have tryed the ddj1000 and the cdj2000s with 900nsx2. I can tell the difference in the mixer, knobs are not as good, the jog wheel is not too different but actually is not as heavy as the cdjs. To have the same experience as the cdj better to go with the ddj xz, I was surprise when I touch it feels like cdjs 2000 with 900nsx2 mixer. Anyway going back to the flx10. The knows and the job wheel looks same as the ddj1000. So I guess is gonna be the same, better than any other small jog wheel and mixer but not as good as the ddj xz or actual cdjs and proper mixer.

[@rubenreyes3125]

@@beatslucas Yeh I've actually never tried a ddj 1000. Been trying to get my hands on one for almost a year now (befofe anyone knew the Flx 10 was coming out) and it was just impossible. Back ordered by Pioneer, anyone selling used wanted ridiculous prices for a used piece of equipment and not under warranty. So I held off! I'm glad I did. The ddj 1000 I heard was the closest controller to the flagship club standard set up aka cdj 2000 nx2 and djm 900 nx2. That being said. Is the 1000 cheap feel and plastic or did it feel well built and crafted? I guess my point is for the extra few hundred dollars for thr flx 10 vs the ddj1000 are you paying solely for the few extra features? DMX output for lighting USB C connectivity 4 sensor crossfader now vs 2 Rekordbox stems Mix link technology Compatible with both RB and Serato Etc etc etc Or is it also manufactured better? Feel more sturdy and not cheaply made compared to the ddj 1000. Built better or just as good kinda thing?

@@beatslucas I've only read reviews and watched a few videos since yesterday but nobody has actually talked about the body of it and how it feels and if it's solid or cheap feeling........ I guess that's my main question if anyone knows. Or how does the ddj 1000 feel in terms of it being built? I've played on club cdjs and mixers for years so obvi know what those feel like. XDJ xz is obvi amazing but the price is too much for me!

[@beatslucas]

@@rubenreyes3125 I have never tryed the flx10. But for what I see in the videos the knobs, jog wheel look exactly the same as the ddj 1000 so I guess is the exactly the same quality. I think there is not difference in quality between those too. So if for you the new upgrades of the flx10 are worthy go for it, otherwise ddj 1000 still a great piece of hardware for the price.

[@rubenreyes3125]

@@beatslucas ok so for the ddj 1000 (assuming the flx10 is built the same or better) how is the quality of the build. Body and everything? Does it seem cheap and plastic like? Or quality build and durable and not cheap at all?

[@planet8356]

I just hope there are new cases coming soon

[@andrewgoodrum7830]

oof no center click on the tempo adjust

[@IamPreacherMan]

I’m wondering if they’re gonna release an upgraded xdj xz. I’d like an all in one but the opus doesn’t do it for me.

[@brianwoelke2878]

wish the Opus had the performance pads

[@djkit]

They will 100% release an updated XZ, it's just a matter of time! The Opus was never a replacement for the XZ, it's in a range of it's own!

[@theogee02]

I have a DDJ, 1000 SRT and search buttons are actually beat jump

[@djkit]

Perhaps that's a Serato feature then, as the 1000 in this video is the rekordbox version.

[@seannnj]

Will this replace the DDJ 1000 or will the 1000 still be available 🤔

[@djkit]

Yes it replaces the DDJ1000 (both versions). The 1000 hasn't been available in any reasonable numbers for nearly 3 years due to component shortages. With new and more available components and by combining both software to one unit, there should be much better supply of the FLX10.

[@Djguilleurquia]

it's better than the Dj - 1000 I'll buy my Flx10

[@Djbob8139]

I'm looking at new DJ controller, grown out of my little SB2 that I've had for years lol, its a toss up on the flx10 or the Rane 4, been looking for a ddj 1000 but they are like rocking horse s**t..

[@djkit]

TBH, the FLX10 is probably going to be like Rocking Horse S**t as well now 😂

[@ayewhite333]

Which studio monitors are those behind you?

[@djkit]

M-Audio BX8s!

[@Le_Lys_Eclectique]

Great comparison man! Thank you! But the question is: s it really worth the 500 dollars more just to have (mainly) the buttons for stems? Personally don’t think so… What do you think?

[@djkit]

Hey Tony, it's a great question mate! For me, it's a yes. But, I am a mashup DJ so these features are really important to me!

[@TheFunkloft]

What are you talking about? Integrated RB-DMX1, much better audio card and phono pre-amps, better jog displays, USB-C. The better sound card alone is a no brainer for me.

[@sandsmarc]

@@TheFunkloft What does “better” sound card mean? I’ll bet you $1599 that you couldn’t tell the difference between the two in a blind listening test. You’re just accepting the claim that it’s better. I’ll need hard evidence.

Pass…DDJ 1000 still king

[@MarveInc]

I feel like I don’t want to get used to features I can’t use on cdjs like the Stem shit on the flx10 it’s great but then I get used to it and if I use cdjs I can’t use it

[@lukasbarthelme9581]

Yeah exactly what I was thinking with stems

[@louielou6294]

Agreed, still using my DDJ 1000 this doesn’t wow me.

[@adriano6k]

From the prices I’m seeing right now online, the DDJ1000 is more expensive than the DDJ FLX 10.

[@jaspertheys5752]

Should i get one or should i wait for a new xz?

[@gregstus]

The XZ is being replaced by the OPUS QUAD to my understanding

[@jaspertheys5752]

​@@gregstus i don't think so.. the opus quad is Nice piece that matches your interior. But the opus quad is not the Clubstandard like we use to get from pioneer.. so yeah im waiting for An xz2.

[@gregstus]

@@jaspertheys5752 XDJ-FLXZ ahah

[@gennarodelbagno5714]

Can you add cdj's to the ddj-flx10?

[@djkit]

Absolutely! Check out the full feature review here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/poa9oqOMi6-Hg6s

[@djcalvin681]

very interested in FLX 10, especially with DMX control and STEMS, currently using DDJ - RR thx for review

[@LezGõr]

the DDJ 1000 is still way better looking ✨✨✨

[@olaniyiodebiyi1816]

Flx10 ❤️❤️

[@mrflexxxmusic1978]

Always said the only thing missing was usb drives on the 1000 and you got the perfect controller. Not worth the upgrade..... Yet 😂

[@damiansanchez3]

NS7 IV anybody... The rane One is NOT a NS7 replacement.. Used Numark for over 10 years, now im on the rev7 bandwagon.

[@oliverbodzin]

no ZERO Pitch Center Click is verry bad. We first don‘t like it back then at the later Technics SL1210 Models.

[@georgegornall1265]

My 1000 has been in its box since getting a rev 7 but my pet hate on the rev is that the jog waveforms don't stretch with the pitch and then don't run with the beat grid in parallel once you are matching tracks with a few bpm difference I noticed on the vid, the flx10 does. Is that with both rekordbox and serato?

[@RealSantahunter]

But can it beat my DDJ SX2

[@djkit]

Yes it can. 😂

[@simulation8083]

No split cue... weird... still think rane 4 or srt looks to be the best serato controller.

[@djkit]

This FLX10 is the step up from the SRT, so it's definitely better than that, but the Rane FOUR is a beast for sure!
