This saves you having to get back to a scratchable cue point by doing it for you when you remove your hands from the ridged capacitive jog wheel or spin it back. There’s a Scratch Bank to store your choice of audio clips and also a Tracking Scratch feature. The central mixing panel also borrows from the popular Pioneer DJM-S series, with performance pads in the middle and lockable FX toggles. It seems that some have gotten used to it and this type of controller layout caters to that familiarity.
A sideways turntable allowed easier scratching without the tonearm getting in the way, which resulted in an unusual placement for the pitch control. Along with the mic, the only other input is the USB port, and you only get a single RCA master output.Īlthough pint-sized, the layout echoes a classic battle DJ’s choice with platters at the bottom and a horizontal pitch slider up top. It also includes a mic input that blends into the master so you can get chatty during livestreams without extra gear - a perk in this level of product. It’s bus-powered and has slightly larger jog wheels than prior models in this price range. The 2-channel DDJ-REV1 controller runs Serato DJ Lite and includes a 14-day trial of Serato DJ Pro. Newcomers interested in this style of DJing can get a taste of what’s to come, with a few useful flourishes for the livestreaming generation. The new entry-level DDJ-REV1 ($259) and the pro-level DDJ-REV7 ($1,899) are both Serato DJ compatible and offer an adjusted layout for fans of the sideways turntable and the Pioneer DJM-S series of mixers. Today, Pioneer DJ announces its new DDJ-REV controller series focused on the battle DJ’s style of mixing and aimed at both novices and pros alike.
Until now, most devices for this style of mixing have either been the classic turntables and mixer combo, or pricey modular units. Battle DJs, the turntablists that perfect the art of cutting and scratching music to build new creations on-the-fly are getting some new gear for the mobile digital world.
