In single effect mode, the same knobs and buttons control effect on/off, effect amount, and then other varying parameters according to the effect. In multi-effects mode, the 1-3 buttons and encoders work to turn effects on/off, select the effect from a list, and adjust effect amount. Shift + FX Mode toggles from single effect to multi-effects modes. FX 1, 2 FX controls on the SP1įX Assign buttons let you assign the FX1 and FX2 units to any of up to four active decks. If using the SP1 with a Serato mixer, the controller will likely be your only track browser, and if using it with a controller, the SP1’s browser may be the more capable option. ( See the DJTT Serato DJ review for more on all of the those aspects of the software) Finally, Shift + Deck select buttons scrolls through showing the Record, FX, and SP-6 sampler sections of Serato DJ. Shift + Back scrolls through the different layout views: Vertical, Horizontal, Extended, and Library. Shift + Load Prepare scrolls through the special areas of the browser: Files, Browse, Prepare, and History. The Load Prepare button sends track directly to the Prepare folder of the browser, a holding area for tracks or for dragging tracks into crates. There are two Load buttons and deck select buttons that let you activate decks 3 and 4.
The encoder scrolls through your folder tree on the left or the main track browser, and pushing the encoder or the Back button beneath it toggles between the two areas. BROWSING TRACKSĪ push-button encoder and six buttons form an efficient track-browsing section. We’d still recommend a case or padded bag for any serious traveling, but the unit is solid. It also bears the same strong, confidence-inspiring build quality as the monstrous DDJ-SX, with seemingly identical control components and a robust chassis with an aluminum top panel.

While the SP1’s price may seem a steep to not unlock Serato DJ on its own, it does include a license for the downloadable Serato Video plug-in, and also works as a plug-and-play Serato Video controller when you put it in Video mode. With an efficient layout aided greatly by a Shift layer, the SP1 basically provides a way to add the mack-daddy effects and pad control sections of the SX to a mixer or one of the less-appointed Serato DJ controllers, such as the Vestax Typhoon or Denon DJ MC2000. The DDJ-SP1 comprises the most important performance pad and effects deck controls from those sections on the DDJ-SX, along with a track browsing section and a sampler volume fader. Borrowing some of the best stuff from the DDJ-SX ( left) Pioneer designed it for the purpose of complementing its DJM-900SRT Serato DJ-compatible mixer, but it could pair quite well with a mixer from Rane, or any number of Serato DJ controllers. Rather, you must use it in conjunction with another Serato DJ-compatible mixer or controller. While the SP1 is optimized for Serato DJ (but works with other MIDI-compatible software), it does not actually include a license for Serato DJ.

Since debuting its flagship Serato DJ controller, the DDJ-SX, about a full year ago ( read our complete review here), Pioneer has unleashed a spate of new controllers for just about every use case scenario, from the iPad-centric DDJ-WeGo2 to this Serato DJ accessory controller, the DDJ-SP1. The DDJ-SP1’s front (click to zoom) A CHEAPER SX?
Add in full control of Serato DJ’s effects deck, a Serato Video license, and Serato Video control, and this is a hands-down sound piece of gear. The 8 pads per deck for cue points, loops, samples, and Loop Roll/Slicer performance modes are almost worth the investment alone. The Bottom Line: For Serato DJ users whose mixers or controllers don’t provide adequate access to the effects or performance modes, the DDJ-SP1 has everything you need to take your controllerism to the next level. A bit expensive for an add-on controller.

Reviewed: Pioneer DDJ-SP1 Sub-Controller for Serato DJ Is this sub-controller a worth addition to a Serato setup? Read on. It won’t unlock Serato DJ on its own, but it does include Serato Video, and the ability to control it. Aimed squarely at users of Serato DJ mixers and controllers, the tantalizing DDJ-SP1 distills down the essential effects and performance pad sections from the extremely popular DDJ-SX into one expertly laid-out add-on controller.
