Our take on the Pioneer DJ DDJ-REV1 Serato DJ Lite Controller

The DDJ-REV1 is a two-channel Serato DJ Lite controller built to mimic a battle setup: a DJM-S mixer with PLX turntables. Its tempo sliders run horizontally across the top of the deck sections, and the Performance Pads and Lever FX paddles sit in the mixer section, so scratch and open-format DJs can practice the layout they will meet on club gear. The jog wheels are larger than on Pioneer DJ's earlier beginner controllers, and Tracking Scratch returns the track to its cue point when you pull the jog back or let go. It is a strong first controller for scratching, battling and streaming, though it is Serato-only and the Lite software limits you to two decks until you upgrade.

What reviewers say

Owners treat the DDJ-REV1 as a well-judged first scratch controller, praising the battle layout and the bigger jogs at the beginner end of Pioneer DJ's range. The main complaints are the Serato-only software and the limits of the Lite version.

What people mention
  • LayoutPraisedOwners like the battle-style arrangement with horizontal tempo sliders and pads in the mixer section.
  • Jog wheelsPraisedThe larger jogs are seen as a real step up for scratching compared with earlier beginner controllers.
  • Tracking ScratchPraisedUsers find the automatic return to the cue point handy for learning scratch techniques.
  • SoftwareCriticisedBuyers note it works only with Serato, and the bundled Lite version limits decks until upgraded.
  • BuildMixedThe controller is described as light and plastic, fine for home practice but not club-durable.

About the Pioneer DJ DDJ-REV1 Serato DJ Lite Controller

The Pioneer DJ DDJ-REV1 is a Serato DJ Lite controller for open-format and scratch DJs. It emulates a professional DJM-S mixer and PLX turntable setup. The tempo sliders sit horizontally on top of the deck sections, like PLX turntables in a battle configuration. The Performance Pads and Lever FX paddles sit in the mixer section, like the DJM-S Series mixer design.

The layout is spacious, and the scratch-ready jog wheels are larger than those on Pioneer DJ's previous beginner-level controllers. Tracking Scratch automatically returns the track to its cue point when the jog wheel moves backward or the hand leaves the controller. This removes the need for crossfader use or jog wheel wind back.

Pressing a Performance Pad and pushing the jog forward selects a Scratch Crossfader Cuts pattern. The pads can also trigger samples or tracks loaded on the Serato DJ Lite Scratch Bank, a feature previously only available in Serato DJ Pro. Deck 3/4 Control lets you play sounds from all four decks in the software. Microphone audio is mixed in, so you can add your voice while streaming.

Questions and answers

Does the DDJ-REV1 work with rekordbox?
No. It is designed for Serato DJ Lite and Serato DJ Pro only.

How many decks can I use with the included software?
Serato DJ Lite runs two decks. More decks and features require an upgrade to Serato DJ Pro.
Do I need a laptop to use it?
Yes. The controller has no standalone audio or mixing; it needs a computer running Serato.
Is it good for a complete beginner?
