Introducing the Pioneer DDJ-REV7: The Revolution in DJ Controllers
Prepare to embark on a revolutionary DJing journey with the Pioneer DDJ-REV7, the latest addition to the groundbreaking DDJ-REV series. These controllers are redefining the way DJs create and perform, offering custom-designed layouts that meticulously emulate the setup of a professional DJM-S mixer and PLX turntables. Whether you’re an open-format maestro or a scratch virtuoso, the DDJ-REV7 empowers you with specialized features that will elevate your artistry to new heights.
The DDJ-REV Series: A New Era of DJ Controllers
The DDJ-REV series introduces a breath of fresh air into the world of DJ controllers. These innovative controllers are designed to replicate the setup of a professional DJM-S mixer and PLX turntables, complete with features tailored for open-format and scratch DJs. With the Pioneer DDJ-REV7, Pioneer DJ brings about a first in their controller lineup by repositioning the tempo sliders to the top of the deck sections, arranged horizontally to mimic a battle configuration of PLX turntables. This new layout provides a dynamic, performance-ready environment that promotes creativity and innovation.
The Performance Pads are thoughtfully positioned in the mixer section, in close proximity to Lever FX paddles, mirroring the setup of DJM-S series mixers. This strategic placement empowers DJs to dynamically modify the sound during live performances. With ample space for experimentation, the jog wheels on the Pioneer DDJ-REV7 are notably larger than those on previous controllers in this range, providing the perfect canvas for exploring mixing techniques. If you’ve ever considered delving into battle mixing and scratching or thought about sharing your sets via streaming, the DDJ-REV7 is your ideal companion to embark on this exciting journey.
Tracking Scratch: Unlock Effortless Scratching
Scratching your music becomes an effortless and exhilarating experience with Tracking Scratch. This remarkable feature automatically returns the track to the cue point when you move the jog wheel backward or release your hand, eliminating the need for crossfader manipulation or manual resetting of the jog wheel. You can choose from a selection of Scratch Crossfader Cuts patterns, accessible through the Performance Pads. To initiate a scratch, simply push the jog wheel forward. Additionally, the Performance Pads enable you to trigger your favorite samples or tracks loaded into the Scratch Bank in Serato DJ Lite, a feature previously exclusive to Serato DJ Pro. With Deck 3/4 Control, you can wield control over sounds from all four decks within the software.
Streamlined Set Incorporation
Once you’re ready to share your performances with your friends and followers on social media, the Pioneer DDJ-REV7 makes it effortless to incorporate speech and vocals. You can seamlessly integrate a microphone into the controller without the need for an external soundcard or mixer. The audio flows directly to your laptop, ensuring that your live streams sound as professional as your sets.

Immersive Jog Wheel Experience
At the heart of each deck on the Pioneer DDJ-REV7 is 7-inch motorized jog wheel, designed to replicate the rotational stability of a 12-inch turntable. These motorized jog wheels are engineered to feel like you’re spinning real vinyl records. The acrylic top plate features a vinyl-like texture that provides effortless finger grip, while you can select between low and high torque settings. Included slip sheets, neatly placed inside the jog wheels, let you fine-tune the friction to your liking. You can switch between rotation speeds of 33⅓ or 45rpm, offering full control over your music’s dynamics. The Stop Time setting enables you to determine how quickly or gradually the music comes to a halt when you press pause, replicating the effect of powering down an analogue deck.
On Jog Display: Your Central Hub
Each jog wheel is equipped with a 3.5-inch LCD, right in the center, keeping crucial information at your fingertips. With an omnidirectional viewing angle, you can easily read the display from any perspective. You have the flexibility to turn off the digital marker that indicates the playback position whenever you prefer. You can also choose to mark each jog wheel with included stickers as an alternative to the digital marker.
Waveform Mode: Enhance Your Mix
The Waveform Mode allows you to monitor the overall waveform of the track on the active deck, as well as the detailed waveforms of both decks side by side. This comprehensive view empowers you to make quick and intuitive adjustments to your mixes. Within this mode, you’ll also have access to essential information such as BPM, playback speed (tempo), remaining or elapsed time, digital marker for the playback point (which you can toggle on or off), and the number of beats within a loop.
Virtual Deck Mode: Ultimate Precision
In Virtual Deck Mode, you can view the virtual deck of Serato DJ Pro alongside the number of beats to the next Hot Cue point, offering unparalleled precision and control.
Artwork Display: Visual Flourish
Display the artwork for the currently playing track with ease, enhancing your visual appeal during performances.
DJ Logo Display: Make It Personal
