Pioneer DJ DDJ-REV7: 2-Channel Scratch-Style DJ Controller

About the Pioneer DJ DDJ-REV7: 2-Channel Scratch-Style DJ Controller

The Pioneer DJ DDJ-REV7 is built to help you get the most from the serato DJ professional performance software and boasts a brand new design that includes large, motorized jog wheels through on jog display to create a tactile connection between you and your music.  The layout of this 2-Channel unit emulates a professional DJM-S mixer + PLX turntable setup, and includes specialized features for open format and Scratch-DJ's.

Brand new motorized, vinylized jog: feel like you're playing records:

At the heart of each deck on the DDJ-REV7 is the new 7" motorized jog wheel which features the same rotational stability as a 12" turntable and is built to feel like you're playing real records.

Vinylized jog: customize the feeling:

The acrylic top plate is finished through a vinyl like texture for effortless finger grip, and you can choose between low and high torque settings and use the 2 slip sheets included inside each deck to find your preferred amount of friction.  Switch between a rotation speed of 33 - 1 / 3 / 45 RPM whenever you like and use the stop time setting to adjust how long it takes for the music to end when you press pause.

On jog display: keep an eye on essential information:

In the center of each jog wheel, a 3.5" LCD keeps important information at your fingertips so there's far less need to switch your gaze between the decks and your laptop.  Thanks to an omnidirectional viewing angle, you can see what's being displayed from any angle, and you can turn off the digital marker that indicates the playback position whenever you want.  You can also mark each jog wheel through the included stickers if you prefer this method to the digital marker.

Waveform mode:

See the overall waveform of the track on that deck, plus the detailed waveforms of the tracks on both decks side by side to help you make quick, intuitive adjustments.  You'll also have an eye on the BPM, playback speed (tempo), remaining or elapsed time, digital marker for the playback point (which you can turn off), and the number of beats in the loop when one is playing.

Virtual deck mode:

View the virtual deck of serato DJ professional and the number of beats to the next hot cue point.

Artwork display:

Display the artwork for the track that's playing.

DJ logo display:

Display your own logo or favorite image on each deck after using the image transfer tool for PC / mac to load it onto the DDJ-REV7.

Instant Scratch-: rapidly fire samples through dedicated buttons:

The DDJ-REV7 has 4 original Scratch-samples that you can trigger by pressing the corresponding hardware buttons.  Because the sounds are built in, you can fire them at any time, even if the Controller isn't connected to your laptop.  If you want to use your own samples in your set, you can instantly load Scratch-samples from 4 banks that you've assigned in serato DJ professional through the Scratch-bank feature.

MAGVEL fader professional: Scratch-freely:

Scratch-through style and confidence when you use the magvel fader professional.  As well as being highly robust, it's customizable through various settings to help you find the feel that's right for you.

22 built in beat FX including 3 new additions: dynamically change the sound:

Add drama to your track transitions through the 3 brand new beat FX.  In total there are 22 beat FX which you can trigger through the dedicated controls (new beat FX: duck down, fill and helix out).

You can also pull the effects levers down and hold them to apply effects from serato DJ professional in short bursts, or push them up to lock effects on and free up your hands for Scratching-or track browsing.

Portable, sophisticated design: take your performances anywhere:

The DDJ-REV7 is solid and robust, yet still lightweight enough to grab by the handles on the chassis and carry to your next gig.  Contrasting matte and hairline finishing in different sections of the aluminum top plate create distinction between the deck and mixer sections, so the layout looks like a traditional 2 x turntable + mixer setup, while the on jog displays mimic the label in the center of a vinyl record.

Silent cue:

Switch on silent cue and avoid the sound of the music speeding up as the platter starts to spin.  Simply choose a hot cue, then hit play on the deck and it will sound the same as hitting a cue point on a DJ player.

Smooth echo:

Assign the smooth echo effect to your choice from a selection of controls, e.g., a fader or pad.  Then, when you turn on smooth echo through its dedicated button, the echo will be triggered as soon as you move the relevant control.

Plug and play:

As soon as you've downloaded serato DJ professional to your PC / mac, you can simply connect the DDJ-REV7 via the supplied USB cable and start DJ'ing.

Pitch in time DJ:

A voucher for the serato pitch in time DJ expansion pack is included, which enables key shifting and syncing through perfect audio quality.

High quality audio:

Through a digital to analog converter from ESS technologies and improvements to the audio design, the DDJ-REV7 achieves the highest sound quality of any Pioneer DJ Controller.
