Pioneer DJ DDJ-REV7 Scratch-Style DJ Controller

The Pioneer DJ DDJ-REV7 is built for DJs who prioritize scratching, open-format mixing, and expressive performance. Its layout mirrors a traditional battle setup with two turntables and a mixer, helping DJs transition naturally from vinyl-based systems to digital performance.

Each deck features a large motorized jog wheel with an acrylic top plate finished in a vinyl-like texture for improved grip. You can adjust the jog feel with selectable torque settings and included slip sheets, as well as switch between 33⅓ and 45 RPM rotation speeds. A Stop Time control allows you to adjust how long playback continues after pressing pause.

At the center of each jog wheel is a 3.5-inch On Jog Display. This screen shows essential information, including playhead position, reducing the need to look at your laptop. The display has an omnidirectional viewing angle, and you can disable the digital position marker or use included stickers for visual reference if preferred.

The MAGVEL FADER PRO crossfader is designed for durability and customization. It translates subtle hand movements into accurate cuts, giving scratch DJs reliable control.

For performance flexibility, the DDJ-REV7 includes built-in Instant Scratch samples that can be triggered directly from hardware buttons—even when the unit is not connected to a computer. You can also load custom scratch samples from assigned banks in Serato DJ Pro or rekordbox using Scratch Bank (Sample Scratch in rekordbox).

Serato Stems functions are accessible directly from the Deck Pads. DJs can mute individual Stems, separate a Stem to another deck for live remixing, or adjust Stem levels using EQ controls. This allows more control over drums, vocals, bass, or melodies during performance.

Despite its solid construction and aluminum top plate, the DDJ-REV7 is designed to remain portable. Integrated chassis handles make transport easier for mobile DJs.
