Pioneer DJ DDJ-REV1 2-deck Serato DJ Controller

Product Information

Some DJs may be initially off-put by the removal of a traditional cue button found above play/pause. However, in use, the smaller relocated button is quite a nice change. Forcing DJs to get used to working without relying upon the cue, a button that obviously isn’t available on a turntable set-up. For the first time on a controller of this size, the microphone audio is sent to the laptop. Allowing the microphone to be recorded and streamed without the need for additional hardware! Lightweight and easily transportable, the DDJ-REV1 is perfect for mobile DJs. Protect the controller on the move with the Pioneer DJ DJC-REV1 Controller Bag. A Scratch DJ Layout, Ready For Battle

The built-in audio interface streams the audio directly to your laptop, meaning it can be heard directly on your stream. Serato DJ Lite Integration And Compatibility With Serato DJ Pro The Pioneer DJ DDJ-REV1 DJ controller offers beginners the perfect introduction to the world of battle-style mixing, without the expense of a set of turntables and mixer capable of scratch battle performance. Expand the number of people watching your set by live-streaming your DJ sets. Unlike most DJ Controllers, the DDJ-REV1 mixes the audio of the mic input with the master output, meaning you can sing, rap, make announcements and hype the crowd without an additional soundcard, mixer or recording software (microphone sold separately).

The layout rejig also moves the performance pads into the mixer section, just like the DJM-S mixers. The additional space around the mixer makes scratching easier, and the position of the performance pads eases transitions using the FX within Serato DJ lite. The inclusion of FX triggers increases the creative possibilities when using the REV1.

The ‘battle-style’ design refers to the unique layout that is normally reserved for analog turntables and mixers. The specialised design aids in scratching, allowing you to move the jog wheels with precision. The unique arrangement coupled with the cutting-edge design makes this one of the most comprehensive, affordable DJ controllers on the market. The DDJ-REV1 is an entry-level device, so it’s all plastic, but the build quality is fine – many pro DJs are happy to use these types of controllers as portable, secondary units, including our own tutor Jazzy Jeff ( see his demo mix on this very device here). However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers. It’s particularly effective with scratch sounds (some are supplied with Serato), and I demo it in the accompanying video if you want to hear how it sounds. As stated, this controller is basically the replacement for the ageing but hugely popular Pioneer DJ DDJ-SB3 Serato controller. The DDJ-REV1 is a bold replacement for the ageing, yet popular DDJ-SB3.You should get an instant answer on whether your application has been successful, though in some rare cases Klarna or V12 may need to look at the application in more detail. But, if you don't find what you need here, keep in mind that VirtualDJ Pro Full is compatible with many other controllers, mixers, etc. on the market. Overall, the DDJ-REV1 is a more than worthy replacement for the DDJ-SB3, and should prove popular with Serato DJs of all types and levels. Not so here. You get two effects engines still, the ability to choose three effects per channel from the unit itself, and to alter the effect cycle value. The only real compromise is a single effects level knob. Demoing the paddle function, a feature that makes controlling effects more creative and fun.

That said though, this design certainly won’t appeal to DJs wanting a more traditional club layout. With the DDJ-SB3 being discontinued upon the REV1’s release, this leaves DJs wanting an entry-level Pioneer DJ controller for Serato with no other option than this battle style layout. Something which might polarise a few potential buyers! Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided. The REV1 even supports Serato DJ Pro, meaning that as you grow as a DJ, you can still upgrade your setup to a more advanced rig.

If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered VirtualDJ Pro Full is natively compatible with an impressive list of hardware from many manufacturers.

Next, you notice that the mixer section is like a shrunken battle mixer – it has the same clean, simple lower third (for uncluttered access to the crossfader), then the performance pads above that, then the EQ controls laid out in the Pioneer DJ DJM-S7/S9 format.
