The Pioneer DJ DDJ-REV7 is a scratch-style 2-channel DJ controller with motorized jog wheels. It works with Serato DJ Pro and rekordbox. Its layout is modeled on a DJM-S battle mixer set between two PLX turntables, with horizontal tempo sliders, a MAGVEL FADER PRO crossfader and effect levers.
Each deck has a servo direct-drive platter that spins at 33 1/3 or 45 rpm like a turntable. The platter is 207 mm across and made of aluminum. It has a vinyl-textured acrylic top plate and a 3.5-inch LCD in the center. A 3-phase brushless DC motor turns it, with an electronic brake, low and high torque settings and a Stop Time setting that controls how fast the music stops on pause. Two slip sheets per deck let you set the friction.
The LCD in each jog can show the waveform, BPM, tempo and time, a virtual deck, track artwork, or your own logo loaded with the Image Transfer Tool. Four Instant Scratch samples are built in and play even with no computer connected. Mixing music files requires a PC or Mac running the DJ software. Two LINE/PHONO inputs let you connect turntables or CDJs.
