What have we here? A CDJ-type housing, Toraiz-like controls and the Pioneer logo; a number of photos we spotted this week on social media seem to depict new DJ hardware by Pioneer. But what is it? Our first guess - and the internet's as well - is that it's the Toraiz SP-16 sampler in the form of a tabletop. Rumour has it, it's the DJS-1000!
Where there's smoke...This new unit was seen in a number of booths at the Dirtybird Campout festival last week. Its illuminated coloured performance pads gave it away instantly, and it was clear this device fits like a glove in the current Pioneer setup thanks to its standard CDJ dimensions. There's also a row of buttons underneath that look a lot like the step sequencer on the SP-16. Unfortunately, that's all we know right now. Pioneer aren't letting the cat out of the bag just yet, but they did use these cryptic words: ‘Where there's smoke, there's fire.’ What do you think this mysterious machine might be?
