The Pioneer DDJ-REV1 DJ Controller features a brand new, battle-style layout that aids in the art of scratching and mixing. Combining elements from the design of the PLX turntables and the DJM-S series mixer; the REV1 is in a league of its own bridging the gap between analog turntablism and the innovation of digital controllers. It contains all the features you'd expect from a Pioneer DJ Controller including a 3-band EQ on each channel as well as multifunction pads. In this Digital DJ Tips exclusive, our tutor DJ Jazzy Jeff puts the brand-new DDJ-REV1 through its paces.

You might have thought that as the company has its own software (Rekordbox) with its own supporting controller range, that we’d have seen the end of Serato controllers from Pioneer DJ, but not so. It looks like Pioneer DJ has been pragmatic, and that’s a good thing, as these units are traditionally very popular. Overall, the DDJ-REV1 is a more than worthy replacement for the DDJ-SB3, and should prove popular with Serato DJs of all types and levels. Put simply, scratching feels noticeably better than the previous jogs found on DJ controllers at this level. If you’re thinking about getting into battle mixing and scratching, there is no better place to start than the REV1. Some DJs may be initially off-put by the removal of a traditional cue button found above play/pause. However, in use, the smaller relocated button is quite a nice change. Forcing DJs to get used to working without relying upon the cue, a button that obviously isn’t available on a turntable set-up.The REV1 even supports Serato DJ Pro, meaning that as you grow as a DJ, you can still upgrade your setup to a more advanced rig.

Unfortunately, the REV1 can only accept headphones with the smaller 1/8th inch TRRS port. We would have much-preferred Pioneer DJ to have equipped the REV1 with the larger 1/4inch port as well as we just don’t believe all beginner DJ’s use lower quality headphones. In Conclusion Next, you notice that the mixer section is like a shrunken battle mixer – it has the same clean, simple lower third (for uncluttered access to the crossfader), then the performance pads above that, then the EQ controls laid out in the Pioneer DJ DJM-S7/S9 format. Lightweight and easily transportable, the DDJ-REV1 is perfect for mobile DJs. Protect the controller on the move with the Pioneer DJ DJC-REV1 Controller Bag. A Scratch DJ Layout, Ready For Battle
