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.
