This is the best sampler I ever got took my dj skills to another level totally recommend it.

Muy bueno.

So amazing! Better than anything akai makes.

This unit and the Toraiz SP-16 are more capable and reliable than any other sampler, drum machine, or desktop synth ever made. 16 tracks of live looping / sample slicing / midi sequencing with 2 fx slot per track and the ability to edit everything or open another track without having to ever press the stop button. No glitches, no crashes, no bs. just pure musical sequencing and sampling. Ive had MPC Live II & MPC One both crash on me giving a message that just says "MPC has crashed and must restart" totally random, could never trust those devices to be reliable enough to actually perform a show on. DJS-1000 & Toraiz SP-16 neither has ever crashed. ever. Ive done many live shows at bars, venues, burner rave parties, they just work. they always work and they dont glitch up. and they sound better than the MPC when u have them connected to fine high end monitors. the MPC Live II can use usb audio interfaces because it needs one, the outputs on mpc live II sound like a pocket fm radio sound quality compared to the DJS-1000 & SP-16. DJS-1000 Toraiz SP-16 the sound quality is like a cdj, its just as good as a nice audio interface like motu ultralite or apollo twin as far as line level goes. I would recommend DJS-1000 or SP-16 to anyone who has an interest in making any style of music that can benefit from a sampler or live looper, from finger drumming hip hop to writing dance or any electronic type of music to latin beats to even quickly creating backing tracks to jam along to, or going totally experimental. Could connect a modular synth to the input and create an entire album that way layering tracks in and out live looping parts in, sequencing from your own samples made on the rig. could hook up a mic pre to the input and have 16 tracks of live looping whatever you want into a mic. Could load up the sampler with gigabytes of 80s drum machine samples and output thru a gated reverb and have a 80s drum machine utopia. it's just a ridiculously useful musical device that is VASTLY under sold and under represented in it's full capability especially in relation to live performance and jamming

This is an awesome addition to the cdj2000nxs2 and djm900nxs2
