djs1000 player 5/6
Please, would it be possible to have an update to allow the djs1000 to be assigned as player 5 or 6
On my djm v 10 i cant put my sampler where i want as i really need it on channel 5. Its upsetting my workflow.
I am happy to only be able to run 4 devices total ( as this machine doesnt have gigbit ethernet) but really want to be able to put it on any channel without loosing quantize of beat effects etc.
many thanks
steve

Sorry guys, the old hardware simply isn't capable of linking beyond number 4; it's within the hardware and unfortunately it can't be changed through software. I agree it would be amazing to assign the DJS as 5 or 6, but the unit isn't capable of it.
We were chatting about this the other day, and there's a quirk about the 3000's when mixed with the 2000's or DJS regarding the numbering, but we'll get more details on that in coming weeks.
I was about to ask the exact same question, for the exact same reasons, regarding the (almost) exact same setup.
I have a v10 (perhaps the greatest mixer ever created), two DJS-1000s, an sp-16, and three xdj-1000mk2 pro link players. Building in the expanded six device Pro Link update into the v10 would be an impressive display of Pioneer DJ / AlphaTheta's respect and appreciation for their v10 customers. And no doubt, such a move - at least for me - would act as the extra nudge and assurance one might need justify buying a new CDJ-3000 or two (ie. if i buy a cdj-3000 but can't use all 6 channels for all my pro link devices I'm effectively losing features on devices i'm still using in order to purchase a new CDJ).
The OP mentioned gigabit ethernet (presumably assuming the 4 device limit is due to non-gigabit limits). But based on past forum posts, various Pioneer DJ faqs, etc., I was under the impression that the four device limit (+5th slaved device like the sp-16) was basically an arbitrary one:
"the reason for [four device] limitation is largely based on the fact most DJ setups would consist of up to 4 decks, and our file sharing configuration was designed around that limitation."

I've read all the CDJ-3000 features lists posted by Pioneer DJ but I still can't find a definitive explanation of what users can expect regarding Pro Link and the v10 and various Pro Link enabled players/samplers, with or without a cdj-3000, going into the future.
Looking forward to Pioneer DJ's thoughts on this. Thnx.
