An exciting addition to this level of Pioneer DJ controllers is the microphone integration. The master audio output is mixed with the microphone sound, eliminating the need for external equipment like a separate mixer or soundcard. With Serato DJ Lite handling all the sounds, you can easily add speech or vocals to your performance, streaming everything directly from the software. Connecting the DDJ-REV1 to your PC or Mac via the supplied USB cable is all you need to start DJing once you've downloaded Serato DJ Lite for free. The controller's buttons, knobs, faders, and jog wheels offer tactile control over various features and effects in the software, providing a truly immersive DJing experience. With the Scratch Bank pad mode, you can instantly load scratch samples from the assigned banks in Serato DJ Lite or Pro, simply by tapping the dedicated Scratch Bank button. The DDJ-REV1 sets a new standard in DJ controllers, delivering a professional-grade performance, ease of use, and a wide range of creative possibilities for DJs of all levels.

The DDJ-REV1, a powerful 2-channel DJ controller that perfectly complements the free Serato DJ Lite software, providing a seamless and professional DJing experience. Emulating the layout of a DJM-S mixer and PLX turntables, this battle-style controller is designed with open-format and scratch DJs in mind. The controls have been thoughtfully arranged, offering plenty of space for mixing and scratching techniques. The longer 60mm tempo sliders provide finer control, positioned above the decks, while the Performance Pads are intuitively moved to the mixer section, enabling easy effects manipulation, sample triggering, and scratching. The DDJ-REV1 features large jog wheels, akin to those on the popular DDJ-SR2 controller, enhancing the scratching experience. Adding texture to your music is a breeze with the Lever FX feature, allowing you to apply Serato DJ Lite effects in short bursts or lock them for hands-free scratching and track browsing. The Tracking Scratch function ensures seamless cue point control, instantly taking the music back to the starting point when moving the jog wheel backward to forward.
