Id def go for the efx 1000...ive got 2 efx 500s and id hapily trade the two of em for the 1000. I think ill buy one myself actually. Theres ALOT more on the 1000 so is money isnt the big issue ......def that one

Are there more midi configurations on the 1000?

the 500 only outputs midi time code so you can sync stuff to it.
Pretty sure the 1000 does just the same.

On the surface of it, the 1000 doesnt offer much more- but when you look at the specs and the 'hidden' features, then its loads more advanced. Just a shame its so damn expensive

Thanks a lot, its value v. money, and as much as I want to save money, I think the efx-1000 is looking better and better haha. If I do ever get one, I'll try and remember to post if it was definitely worth the money.

The EFX-1000 is fully MIDI-controllable. If you have a Xone:92 or a Nuo4, you can control the effects from the mixer. That is a HUGE step-up from the 500. That, and the sound quality make it worth the extra cost, which is around $300. I think a lot of people were scared off by the initial MSRP. Now, you can get a 1000 for less than $700.

I have a NUO 4. How exactly does the nuo 4 send the midi signal? In ableton/tractor with the NUO4 you have to go into the program and assign different things to different knobs, switches, eqs. How would you go about configuring the efx1000? Does it come with software?

I dunno. I'm actually kinda assuming that it works with the Nuo4, since it has incredible MIDI capabilities. Someone who has both should jump in, cuz I really don't know. I do know that it works with the Xone:92, though.

+1 this is my idea as well Nuo4+efx 1000 = godlyness... , but still wondering if its fully compadible with the efx as failsafe stated.

I am going for an efx-1000 myself... i got the coin sitting there in a big pile just waiting for the bad boys to hit aussie shores

pio aus has quite a few of these units in stock, and has for a while now.

Dont suppose you know how i can get one... there not on the pioneer website and most dj equipment stores around melbourne town have either not heard of them or have no idea for there arrival...
