Unleash Your Inner DJ with the Pioneer DDJ-REV1: Your Path to Pro-Level Mixing
Elevate your DJing game to the next level with the Pioneer DDJ-REV1, Pioneer’s revolutionary 2-channel DJ controller that beautifully integrates with Serato DJ Lite software. Boasting a brand-new battle-style layout, the DDJ-REV1 offers a user-friendly interface designed to emulate the setup of 2 PLX turntables and a DJM-S series mixer, the choice of professional battle DJs. With this innovative controller, you’ll have ample space to perform mixing and scratching techniques, thanks to the clever arrangement of controls. Here are the key features that make the DDJ-REV1 your perfect partner on your DJing journey.
Brand-New Battle-Style Layout
Get hands-on with an interface designed to emulate the setup of 2 PLX turntables and a DJM-S series mixer – the kind of arrangement used by pro battle DJs. The Pioneer DDJ-REV1 presents an intuitive layout with expanded tempo sliders, each measuring 60mm, which is longer than those found on the DDJ-SB3, providing finer control. These sliders run horizontally above the decks, while the Performance Pads have been strategically moved into the mixer section. This layout allows you to seamlessly combine effects, trigger samples, and engage in dynamic scratching of your tracks.
Bigger Jog Wheels
When it comes to scratching, bigger is often better. The Pioneer DDJ-REV1 features jog wheels identical in size to those found on the popular DDJ-SR2 controller, offering the perfect surface for unleashing your scratching skills. These larger jog wheels ensure a superior scratching experience, making it ideal for DJs looking to master this art.
Lever FX: Adding Dynamic Texture
Take your music to the next level with Lever FX, a feature that empowers you to add dynamic texture to your tracks. By pulling the levers down and holding them, you can apply effects from Serato DJ Lite in short bursts. Conversely, pushing the levers up locks in the effects, freeing up your hands for scratching or track browsing. Lever FX is your secret weapon for crafting unique and engaging mixes that will leave a lasting impression on your audience.
Tracking Scratch: Your Scratch Assistant
The Tracking Scratch feature is like having a personal scratch assistant at your fingertips. This clever feature silently returns the music to the cue point the moment you move the jog wheel from backward to forward or lift your hand. This functionality eliminates the need to close the fader or painstakingly find the right spot in your track to resume scratching. To activate Tracking Scratch, select the Tracking Scratch Pad mode, choose your desired Scratch Crossfader Cuts pattern by pressing a Performance Pad, and start moving the jog. This feature simplifies scratching and ensures your performances are flawless.
Mixed Microphone Audio: Stream with Ease
For the first time in a Pioneer DJ controller at this level, the Pioneer DDJ-REV1 allows you to mix the output of the master audio with the sound from the microphone if you have one plugged in. This eliminates the need for additional equipment like a soundcard or a separate mixer when adding speech or vocals to your performance and routing it through your computer. Serato DJ Lite ensures all your sounds are seamlessly integrated, offering a hassle-free solution for DJ streamers.
Serato DJ Lite Integration: Your Free DJing Companion
As soon as you’ve downloaded Serato DJ Lite to your PC or Mac for free, connecting the Pioneer DDJ-REV1 via the supplied USB cable is all it takes to kickstart your DJing journey. The controller provides tactile control over a wide range of features and effects within the software, allowing you to manipulate buttons, knobs, faders, and jog wheels on the controller effortlessly. The Scratch Bank pad mode lets you instantly load scratch samples from four banks that you’ve assigned in Serato DJ Lite or Pro. This feature simplifies the process of adding your personalized touch to your mixes.
