The Pioneer DJ DDJ-REV1 is a 2-channel DJ controller for Serato DJ Lite. Its battle-style layout emulates a setup of two PLX turntables and a DJM-S series mixer. It includes features for open-format and scratch DJs.
The 60mm tempo sliders run horizontally above the decks. The Performance Pads sit in the mixer section, so you can combine effects, trigger samples and scratch from one area. The jog wheels are the same size as those on the DDJ-SR2. Lever FX applies Serato DJ Lite effects in short bursts when you pull the levers down. Pushing them up locks the effect on.
Tracking Scratch returns the music to the cue point when you move the jog wheel from backward to forward or lift your hand away. Scratch Bank mode loads scratch samples from 4 banks assigned in Serato DJ Lite or Pro. A plugged-in microphone is mixed with the master output, and all sound is sent to Serato DJ Lite. The controller is class compliant, so it needs no audio driver. It connects to a PC or Mac with the supplied USB cable.
