DDJ-1000 Hardware vs. Rekordbox Effects

Hello dear Pioneer Team,

I have now bought the Pioneer DDJ-1000 in addition to Mobil Dj with it. From my DJM 750 Mk2 I'm used to the fact that the effects with Rekordbox and external sound sources work perfectly. The DDJ-1000 annoys me because it always jumps back and forth between hardware effects and Rekordbox effects depending on whether I'm mixing analog or digital. Isn't it possible that you can set in Rekordbox that I only use the hardware effects as it works in DJM?
There are also some software effects in Rekordbox that don't fit as well into the mix and sound worse than the hardware effects.

The "Trans" effect sounds a bit too choppy and doesn't groove like the Hardware Trans effect. In addition, the fine adjustments of the effects return to the default settings after the change.

An additional switch to cut away the middle frequencies would also be fine.

The "Echo" effect is always set to Freeze at the beginning and the intensity does not always match the setting of the DDJ-1000 controller. Only after pressing the controller Rekordbox finds the same position of the controller setting.

Sorry, there's no way to force-override the internal FX, and to be honest, the internal effects are better because they're not only beat-linked, but there are a heck of a lot more of them with additional parameters available.

There may be a mis-match between the hardware control and the software knob position if you have switched the FX to an analog input changed the level knob, then back to a rekordbox channel -- the hardware and software are in different positions and won't match, so you need to move the hardware to "pick up" the software.

That's exactly the annoying thing about switching back and forth between hardware and software effects - I must always remember to turn the knob before using the effect again. Two recordings were already destroyed because the effect I wanted to insert should be faded in slowly but instead it was at 50% in the software. The result was a really shitty sounding transition.

But it seems to work if I run Deck 1 with Laptop A on USB A and Deck 2 with Laptop B on USB B. So the hardware effects remain even if it's not the best solution with two laptops but somehow I can't imagine that it's not possible to turn off the software effects via a setting in the setup.

If you want to avoid that, keep the source selector on MASTER and then all audio runs through the same FX bus.
