Pioneer DJ shows the DDJ-REV series of military commanders

Battle DJs, translators who support the art of cutting and scratching music to create new aircraft creatures are discovering new mobile computer equipment. To date, many of these hybrid devices have become high-tech and high-performance composites, or expensive units. Today, Pioneer DJ has announced his new DDJ-REV series that focuses on the mixed DJ battle and looking for beginners and performers. New entry level DDJ-REV1 ($ 259) and pro-level DDJ-REV7 ($ 1,899) both are affiliated with Serato DJ and offer a flexible version of the side-turning fans and the Pioneer DJM-S mix band.

Newcomers who are interested in this DJing style can hear what’s coming, with a few benefits for generations to come. The 2-channel DDJ-REV1 controller runs Serato DJ Lite and incorporates a 14-day trial of Serato DJ Pro. It drives buses, has slightly larger wheels than previous models on these poles and also includes a microphone for playback on games without additional equipment. Along with the mic, the only input is the USB port, and you only get one RCA output.

Despite the pint size, the design is similar to what the DJ chose for the battle with the plate on the bottom and the horizontal slope at the top. The sidebar allows for easy scraping without tonarm getting in the way, which resulted in an unusual setting to straighten the wax. It seems that some are accustomed to this design and that this type of design contributes to that knowledge.

The mid-range mix also comes from the well-known Pioneer DJM-S team, featuring medium and closed FX toggles. There is also a Scratch Bank for storing your favorite music as well as a Tracking Scratch interface. This saves you from getting back into a position where you can put yourself in this position by removing your hands from the capacitive jog wheel or rotating it.

If you have more skills and / or more money to spend, 2-channel DDJ-REV7 is a good fit. This high-end model includes 7-inch motorized jog wheels with high-quality vinyl-mimicking plates and adjustable torque for a more comfortable feel. Each section also has a 3.5-inch on-jog display where you can view waveforms and other data, or switch to Serato templates, music graphics or your own logo with easy-to-see interface.

As is the case with the economy type, the DDJ-REV7 mimics the cutting-edge and cutting-edge interface with a mid-range DJM-S, handles and FX toggle. The running wheels are on the front side with a slider on top. The key control buttons are located between them, which is also reminiscent of the Pioneer CDJ shape.

Other major DDJ-REV7s are the starting models, the Maglev Fader Pro and 22 built into Beat FX. If you want to light up your device with turntables or CDJs, you are in luck because there are lines and phones along the way. Want to switch to another DJ during a game? Dual USB ports have made life easier. You will need a computer for most things, since there is no big fingerprint or microSD partition. It it seems you can store all the music in the bank starting board on one board with clips, but it is not the real solution. At the exit you will find XLR and RCA ports for better performance, plus a home 1/4-inch TRS port.

Entry rate DDJ-REV1 expected to be available at the end of January for a $ 259 sale price and works with the free Serato DJ Lite (1.5.9) software, although the pro type will also work. Those who are interested are higher DDJ-REV7 ($ 1,899) is expected to wait until February, although no fixed date has been confirmed. This brand includes a licensed Serato DJ Pro (2.5.9) and a promotion voucher for Serato Pitch ‘n’ Time.
