Open Box Pioneer DJ DDJ-REV5 Open Format DJ Controller Level 1 Black

Scratch-style layout for open-format freedom

The long tempo sliders on the DDJ-REV5 run horizontally above the deck sections while 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 Serato DJ Pro; or vocal, drums and inst (other instruments including bass and synths) in rekordbox—allowing users to play them separately.

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.

DJs will find it more natural than ever to express themselves musically on the DDJ-REV5 thanks to the new Piano Play mode. Just like Pitch Play, DJs can use the 16 Performance Pads to trigger a cue point in different semitones, but now the changes in pitch are arranged so the pads form a keyboard with the “white” keys on the bottom row and the “black” ones at the top, as if playing a piano. There are three scales to choose from, and even if users are not familiar with musical theory or scales, they’ll find it easy to play a tune with the improved arrangement of the tones.

Multiple inputs and outputs 

DJ’s can use the DDJ-REV5 as the center of a larger setup thanks to its wide variety of inputs and outputs, including an XLR master out that’s perfect for use in professional environments. There are 2 USB Type-C ports for PC/Mac too, making it easy to swap between DJs with a simple flick of a switch on the controller.

Serato DJ Pro and rekordbox plug-and-play compatibility

DJs can choose their favorite software and start right away. Simply plug the DDJ-REV5 into a PC/Mac running the latest version of Serato DJ Pro (coming this autumn) and rekordbox to use either application for free –users don’t need a license key or subscription. A voucher for the Serato Pitch ‘n Time DJ expansion pack is also included.
