Pioneer DJ

collapse expand iconDescription

The Pioneer DJ DDJ-REV5 open format DJ controller is designed for DJs who demand creativity and precision in their performances. This 4-deck, 2-channel controller is fully compatible with Serato DJ Pro and rekordbox, offering a seamless plug-and-play experience for professional-grade mixing and scratching. Featuring large jog wheels, a Magvel Fader and a unique scratch-style layout, this controller brings an authentic turntable feel to digital DJing. Innovations like Stems control buttons, Auto BPM Transition and Piano Play unlock endless possibilities for live remixing and mashups. With its intuitive layout and cutting-edge features, the DDJ-REV5 delivers a dynamic and immersive DJ experience tailored for open-format performers.

Large Jog Wheels and Magvel Fader

The DDJ-REV5 features oversized jog wheels that mimic the feel of Pioneer DJ's iconic CDJ units, offering responsiveness and accuracy for intricate scratching. Each jog wheel includes a built-in display to provide real-time feedback on playhead position and track status. Customizable Jog Feel settings allow DJs to adjust the "weight" for the perfect tactile response. Paired with the robust Magvel Fader, this controller translates even the smallest hand movements into precise cuts and fades, empowering DJs to deliver highly expressive scratch performances with confidence.

Scratch-Style Layout for Open-Format Performances

Designed with battle DJs in mind, this controller emulates the PLX Series turntable and DJM-S Series mixer setups favored by professionals. The horizontal tempo sliders are positioned above the deck sections for quick adjustments, while the Performance Pads and Lever FX are placed centrally in the mixer section for seamless access. This proximity between pads, levers and faders encourages fluid transitions between scratching, pad play, and effects manipulation. The DDJ-REV5's layout provides the freedom to fuse technical precision with creative performance techniques.

Dedicated Stems Buttons for Live Mashups

With Stems control, the DDJ-REV5 enables DJs to remix tracks live by isolating and manipulating individual elements like vocals, drums, bass and melody. Dedicated buttons let you play or mute stems on the fly, offering unparalleled flexibility for creating mashups and transitions. Whether using Serato DJ Pro or rekordbox, this feature empowers DJs to deconstruct tracks in real time, turning any set into a unique, interactive experience. The ability to isolate or combine stems enhances creative possibilities for crafting signature sounds.

Auto BPM Transition for Seamless Mixes

Transitioning between tracks with different tempos has never been easier thanks to the Auto BPM Transition feature. This innovative tool lets you set a specific number of beats over which the tempo of a track will gradually shift to match the BPM of the next song. With the press of a button, this feature ensures perfectly timed transitions, allowing DJs to confidently mix across genres and tempos. By simplifying complex tempo adjustments, the DDJ-REV5 keeps performances smooth and engaging.

A DJ Controller Built for the Open-Format Performer

The Pioneer DJ DDJ-REV5 open format DJ controller is crafted for DJs who thrive on versatility and innovation. Its large jog wheels, intuitive layout and advanced features like Stems control and Auto BPM Transition make it a powerful tool for live performances. Whether you're in the studio or on stage, this controller delivers the precision and creative freedom needed to push boundaries and captivate your audience.

    Works Great with Serato and Rekordbox

    As a primary user of Rekordbox and owner of the DDJ-1000, I was looking to have fun with stems on Serato since Rekordbox still needs some work. Integration of both softwares into one unit is done well. Although a 2-channel mixer, it is almost as big as my DDJ-1000. The jogwheels have a vinyl face which feels nice to scratch on. Soundcard is equivalent to the DDJ-1000 although I heard the FLX-10 has a slightly better one. I do miss my joghwheel screens but like the paddle FX, dedicated stem controls, beat match transition feature and layout is easy to adapt too.

    Random Noise

    Clean look. Not heavy. Lise the portability and power source being usb-c. At random times, the unit would make a noise while playing music. Like a short circuit/ feedback sound. It happens multiple times during a set, so I have been waiting fir some free time to have this looked at under warranty.
