Our take on the Pioneer DJ DDJ-REV5

The DDJ-REV5 is a two-channel, four-deck controller built for scratch and open-format DJs, with a battle-style layout that puts the performance pads and lever FX in the mixer section. It runs Serato DJ Pro and rekordbox, and adds stems control, auto BPM transition and a piano play mode on the 16 pads. Large jog wheels with position displays and an adjustable feel, plus a Magvel fader, round out the scratch-focused design. It weighs 17.8 lb and connects over USB-C.

About the Pioneer DJ DDJ-REV5

It also includes unique stems control buttons for live mashups and remixes to allow DJ to individually play or mute different parts of any track, such as drums or vocals. To further enable creativity, the DDJ-REV5 features the first-ever auto BPM transition for seamless track mixing over a shift in BPM. This feature smoothly adjusts the tempo of a track over a specified number of beats so you’re totally free when choosing songs and never bound by BPM ranges. Plus, the new piano play feature offers an immersive musical experience where you can trigger a cue point in different semitones, with the changes in pitch arranged on the 16 performance pads to recreate the layout of a piano’s keyboard. To start DJing, simply connect the controller to a PC/Mac running your chosen application. Scratch, battle and perform intuitively on the DDJ-REV5, which blends an authentic scratch experience with innovative features. The large jog wheels are responsive, reliable, and easy to operate with a feel just like those on classic CDJ units and they each include a display with play head position to help users know where they are in the track. Users can also customize the jog feel to find a perfect jog wheel “weight”. The marvel fader is slick, robust, and ready to translate every tiny movement to help users scratch with precision. Scratch-style layout for open-format freedom the performance pads and lever FX are placed in the mixer section for dynamic performances, emulating the PLX series deck + DJM-S series mixer setups loved by open-format DJs around the world. Thanks to the proximity of the pads, levers and faders, users can fuse scratching with pad play and effects. Dedicated buttons for easy stems control Users can get creative and make live mashups and remixes using the stems buttons on the DDJ-REV5. Tracks are split into different stems within the software vocals, melody, bass and drums in serrate DJ pro or vocal, drums and isn't (other instruments including bass and synths) in record allowing users to play them separately. Auto BPM transition for smooth mixing between musical genres with vastly different tempos is easy on the DDJ-REV5, thanks to the new auto BPM transition feature. Choose a number of bars for the transition and, when you press the dedicated button, the track that’s playing will gradually change tempo to match the track loaded to the other deck to mix or drop in the new track at the perfect moment. Because the incoming track’s BPM matches that of the previous one, the transition will be seamless. Users can also set stems, auto loop and key lock control to be applied during the transition. These automatic processes free up users hands to use other controls, because users won’t need to adjust the tempo slider manually. Piano play mode for intuitive musical performances DJs will find it more natural than ever to express themselves musically on the DDJ-REV5 thanks to the new piano play mode.

Questions and answers

Is the DDJ-REV5 worth it over the DDJ-REV7?
The REV7 adds motorized jog wheels and a larger build at a higher price. The REV5 keeps the battle layout and scratch feel with static jogs, so pick it if you don't need motorized platters.
Does it work with Serato DJ Pro and rekordbox?
Yes. It is designed for both Serato DJ Pro and rekordbox, so you can use either software without a separate unlock purchase.
How many channels and decks does it have?
It has two mixer channels and controls four decks, so you switch layers to reach decks three and four.
What is auto BPM transition?
It shifts a track's tempo over a set number of beats so you can mix songs from different BPM ranges without a hard jump.
How heavy is it to carry?
It weighs 17.8 lb, which is heavy for a two-channel controller. Plan on a sturdy bag or a fixed setup.
What's in the box?
You get the controller, a USB-C cable and a power supply. A laptop and the DJ software are not included.
