NationMaster - Encyclopedia: CDJ1000

The CDJ1000 was created by Pioneer Electronics in 2001. This was the first CD player created for DJs that accuratly emunlated a vinyl turntable. It did so by utilizing a large thouch sensitive platter with a digital display in the middle of it. Although this platter would not actually spin like a turntable, the digital display in the middle had a circular indicator which would show the virtual position of the music being played. The user could then touch, spin, and "grab" the platter, in order to manipulate the sound much like a vinyl turntable.

	Since the original launch of the Pioneer CDJ1000, Denon, Numark and Technics have all now released CD turntables which use motorised turntables and dummy records to replicate that authentic vinyl feel.
	A major reason for the significant difference in price between either version of the CDJ1000 and 800 is the absence of interchangeable memory cards and sophisticated programmable cues from the 800.
	The CDJ1000 offers a number of programmable Hot cues and with "proper" vinyl records, it is possible to use stickers and pen on the centre label to mark up all the cues you want to access to perform juggles and scratch sentences.
