AlphaTheta Corporation has announced the release of the DDJ-REV7 in a new series of DJ controllers from its Pioneer DJ brand. This 2-channel unit is built to help you get the most from the Serato DJ Pro performance software and boasts a brand-new design that includes large, motorized jog wheels with On Jog Display to create a tactile connection between you and your music.
The DDJ-REV series is a fresh range of DJ controllers with layouts that emulate a professional DJM-S mixer + PLX turntable setup, including specialized features for open-format and scratch DJs. For the first time ever on a Pioneer DJ controller, the tempo sliders have been moved to the top of the deck sections and turned horizontally to emulate PLX turntables arranged in a battle configuration. The Performance Pads have been placed in the mixer section along with Lever FX paddles, exactly where they’re found on DJM-S series mixers, enabling you to energetically change the sound during performances.
If you’re looking for a portable setup that faithfully emulates analog turntables and a mixer, the DDJ-REV7 is perfect for performing at parties and venues. Its 7-inch VINYLIZED JOG wheels are motorized and feel great when you’re scratching, and you can experiment to find your perfect level of torque and friction with customizable settings and two slip sheets included inside each deck that fit inside. The acrylic top plate is specially finished to feel just like a real analog record, with a spin treatment that easily catches on your fingertips when you touch it. What’s more, you can keep an eye on essential information such as waveforms, Hot Cues, and playback positions thanks to the 3.5-inch On Jog Displays. You can easily switch modes to customize what they show and, because the displays have omnidirectional viewing angles, you’ll see everything clearly – whatever the angle of your gaze. Plus, with the robust MAGVEL FADER PRO, you can enjoy a slick, accurate response while scratching.
When you’re in the middle of a complicated scratch routine and you want to fire off a sample, you can easily hit one of the Instant Scratch buttons on the DDJ-REV7 to trigger your choice of 4 original sounds. They’re all built into the controller, which means they’re always available at the touch of a button and you don’t even need to connect your laptop to use them. If you’re keen to drop your own samples in your sets, load them into Scratch Bank in Serato DJ Pro and you can play them whenever you want – even if they’re full tracks – by tapping the Performance Pads. Want to spice up your tracks with effects? The DDJ-REV7 includes 22 Beat FX including 3 brand-new ones so you can get creative, build the drama, and add texture to your performances. There are 5 popular Sound Color FX to play with too. And, with advanced audio components, the unit produces the highest level of sound quality in the entire Pioneer DJ controller range.
