Pioneer DDJ-REV1 at a glance
The DDJ-REV1 is the first Pioneer DJ controller to feature pitch faders relocated to the top of the deck sections and oriented horizontally to replicate a battle turntable setup. The performance pads, along with the FX paddles, are positioned in the mixer section, similar to the layout of DJM-S series mixers. This arrangement allows for sound customisation during performances. The spacious design provides ample room to explore a variety of mixing techniques. Compared to previous entry-level controllers, the significantly larger jog wheels make scratching easier and offer an enhanced tactile experience. For those looking to step into the world of battle mixing and scratching, the DDJ-REV1 is the ideal choice.
Large jog wheels:
The bigger the jog wheels, the better they are for scratching! The jog wheels built into the DDJ-REV1 offer amazingly good handling at a size of approx. 6 inches (154 mm) and make back cueing and scratching very easy!
Tracking Scratch:
The "Tracking Scratch" feature lets the track or scratch sample automatically jump back to the first cue point as soon as the jog wheel is no longer touched. This makes it easier for beginners to access scratching, motivates them and quickly gives them a sense of achievement in performance.
Lever FX:
With the "Lever FX", dynamic textures can be added to the music. When the FX paddles are dragged down and held, Serato DJ Lite's effects are activated for that duration. When the FX paddles are pushed up, the effect is activated permanently so that users have their hands free for scratching or selecting tracks.
Microphone sound in the audio mix:
Another first for Pioneer DJ controllers in this class is that the master signal is mixed with the signal from the microphone when it is connected. This means that users do not need external devices such as a sound card or a separate mixer when adding speech or vocals to the performance. The signals are sent to Serato DJ Lite, allowing users to stream directly through the software.
