Performing artists and DJs in search of the ultimate 2-channel rekordbox and Serato controller should look no further than the Pioneer DDJ-REV7, the latest flagship 2-channel controller for rekordbox and Serato DJ Pro with large vinyl-style, motorized jog wheels, on-screen jog display, updated effects, and advanced features.

The DDJ-REV7 emulates a professional DJM-S mixer and PLX turntable setup. The tempo sliders are positioned horizontally across the top of the deck, which further mirrors PLX turntables in battle position, while the Performance Pads and Lever FX paddles sit in the mixer section to parallel the DJM-S Series mixer design. The 7" motorized jog wheels include two interchangeable slip sheets, which offer a choice of torque and friction, while the acrylic top plate is designed to feel like a real analog record. At the center of each jog wheel, you have a 3.5" customizable color LCD.

The ergonomic design features 8 multicolor and velocity sensitive performance pads on each deck with four modes of operation including hot cue, roll, saved loop, and sampler, as well as pitch play, slicer loop, saved flip, and scratch bank. You can load samples and tracks into Serato DJ and play with the onboard pads. Instant Scratch buttons, complete with four original samples, are a built-in controller feature, making them accessible to artists without needing a laptop. Artists looking to drop their own samples, even full tracks, can do so by loading samples into the Serato DJ Pro Scratch Bank and tapping the Performance Pads.

The center panel of the DDJ-REV7 is a 2-channel mixer with a built-in soundcard and features two USB Type-B connectors, allowing for dual laptop connections for seamless changeover during back-to-back performances. The mixer can connect mics, turntables, CD players, and other external audio sources. Each channel features a trim pot, 3-band EQ, Sound Color FX, and a level fader. The Pioneer DDJ-REV7 ships with a full version of Serato DJ Pro, an AC power adapter, and a USB cable.

DDJ-REV7 now officially supports rekordbox and new Serato Stems capabilities.

rekordbox Compatibility

• With this update, the DDJ-REV7 now supports rekordbox, so you can enjoy an authentic scratching experience and the unique features of the DDJ-REV7 using tracks in your rekordbox library or from compatible streaming services. You can also use the Track Separation feature to get even more creative.

New Serato Stems Capabilities

• This latest update enables you to directly access Serato Stems on the DDJ-REV7. This opens up new creative possibilities; for example, you can remove or insert vocals or drums while a track is playing.
  • Stems Mute: Mute different Stems in real time to create your own mashups on the fly.
  • Stems Separate: Move an isolated Stem to another deck to make live remixes, add effects, or manipulate it further without affecting the other Stems from that track.
  • Stems Level: Use the EQ knobs to adjust the volume of individual Stems in a track.

At the heart of each deck on the DDJ-REV7 are the new 7-inch motorized jog wheels, featuring the same rotational stability as a 12-inch turntable and recreating the feel of real vinyl records. The jog wheels acrylic top plate is finished with a vinyl-like texture for an effortless finger grip. Artists can choose between low- and high-torque settings and use the two included slip sheets inside each deck, which fit neatly inside the jog wheel to find their preferred amount of friction. With the DDJ-REV7, manipulating and fading out sound is simple. Artists can switch between a rotation speed of 33¿ or 45 rpm anytime and use the Stop Time setting to adjust how long it takes for the music to end when pressing pause. Artists can also halt the music immediately or slow it down gradually, as if the power on an analog deck was turned off.

In the center of each jog wheel is a 3.5-inch LCD display showing important information and removing the need for artists to switch their gaze between the decks and laptop. The LCD display also features an omnidirectional viewing angle, allowing artists to see the displayed information from any angle. Artists can turn off the digital marker indicating the playback position at any time, or mark jog wheels with the included stickers if preferred.

• Waveform Mode: View the overall waveform of the track on that deck, plus detailed waveforms of the tracks on both decks side by side to make quick and intuitive adjustments. BPM, playback speed, remaining or elapsed time, digital marker for the playback point (which can be turned off), and the number of beats in a loop are also available to view.
• Virtual Deck Mode: View the virtual deck of Serato DJ Pro and the number of beats to the next Hot Cue point.
• Artwork Display: Display the artwork for the playing track.
• DJ Logo Display: Use the Image Transfer Tool for PC/Mac to display a logo or favorite image on each deck.

The DDJ-REV7 features four original scratch samples to trigger with the press of corresponding hardware buttons. Scratch sounds are built directly into the controller, enabling artists to fire them at any time, even if the controller isn't connected to a laptop. If DJs want to use their own samples in the set, they can instantly load scratch samples from four banks assigned in Serato DJ Pro with the Scratch Bank feature.

With 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. Unwanted noise commonly created by on-board power supplies has been reduced for a purer audio experience.

Artists can scratch with style and confidence with Pioneer DJ's signature Magvel Fader Pro. Aside from its highly robust design, the fader is customizable with various settings, allowing DJs to find the right feel for their style.

Artists can add drama to track transitions with three brand-new Beat FX. In total, there are now 22 Beat FX, which can be triggered with the dedicated controls. The new Beat FX include:

• Duck Down: A roll effect fading out while lowering the pitch.
• Fill Out: A roll effect forming with a changing rhythm pattern and fading out with echo.
• Helix Out: An effect sampling the input sound and repeatedly fades it out like a reverb, while increasing the playback speed and pitch.

DJs can pull and hold the effect levers down to apply Serato DJ Pro effects in short bursts or push them up to lock effects. Artists can also instantly trigger effects saved in four FX Banks and edit them via the Setting Utility on a PC/Mac. While using an effect, artists can trigger up to six more from Serato DJ Pro. The DDJ-REV7 also has five popular Sound Color FX for artist experimentation.

After Serato DJ Pro installation on a PC/Mac, artists connect the DDJ-REV7 controller via the supplied USB cable to start DJing. Artists can enjoy tactile control of various features and effects in the software by manipulating the controller's buttons, knobs, faders and jog wheels. A Serato Pitch 'n Time DJ Expansion Pack voucher is included, which enables key shifting and key syncing with high audio performance.

The DDJ-REV7 is solid and robust, yet lightweight enough to grab by the handles on the chassis and carry to the next gig. Contrasting matte and hairline finishing in different sections of the aluminum top plate creates distinction between the deck and mixer sections, recreating the layout of a traditional turntable and mixer setup, while the on-jog-wheel 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 spins. Artists simply select a Hot Cue and 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 a selection of controls (e.g. a fader or pad), and the echo will trigger as soon as the relevant assigned control is moved.
