Pioneer DJM-T1 Firmware Update

The Advanced Shift firmware update adds a new, third layer of control to the unit. DJs can customise 220 Traktor Scratch Duo 2 features and parameters directly from the mixer, without going into the software settings or touching the mouse.

Advanced Shift is designed to double the availability of some of the key Traktor functions. There are four FX Banks. The usual four Hot Cues and Loops can become eight. Plus Advance Shift brings controls such as Master Tempo, individual Sample clip volume control, Grid and Cue editing along with functions like Record.

Key functions enabled by Advanced Shift include:

• Control over to two more FX Banks: DJM-T1 users could assign a total of six sound FX across two banks. But with Advanced Shift mode you can control and assign another two FX banks in Traktor Pro, meaning a total of 12 effects can be assigned and controlled from the mixer.
• Double the number of Hot Cues: Both decks now offer a total of eight Hot Cues and related Loops, and there’s control to move the play head around for Hot Cue placement.
• Access and input Traktor grid information: It’s now possible to access the advanced settings panel for Grid, Cues and Move, directly from the controller and DJs can correct some basic Grid functions, which are useful for the Sync function.
• Adjust individual Sample Deck volumes and modes: In addition to switching samples between One Shot, Loop mode, and adjusting overall  Sample Deck volume, Advanced Shift makes it possible to adjust each Sample Slot volume.

• Start/Stop recording
