The DDJ-REV7 is Pioneer DJ's two-channel controller built for battle, open-format and hip-hop DJs. It puts motorized 7-inch platters under the jog wheels and moves the pitch faders to the top of the unit, which frees up space for a wider mixer section. It borrows the 16 performance pads, effects and FX paddles from the DJM-S11, so scratch and routine work get the same layout as Pioneer's flagship battle mixer. Against the Rane ONE it trades a slightly different platter feel and layout for deeper effects and pad control; reviewers rate its build and motorized platters highly but note the weight and the learning curve for DJs used to a standard club layout.
