Pioneer DJ DDJ-REV5

Immerse yourself in the pulsating world of DJing and unlock your creative potential with the Pioneer DJ DDJ-REV5, a 2-channel, 4-deck controller that leaves nothing to be desired with its cutting-edge features. The DDJ-REV5 combines impressive innovation with intuitive control, providing a technical extension of your artistic expression.

Pioneer DJ has created a versatile tool with its DDJ-REV series, optimized to excel in DJ battles. The DDJ-REV5's 16 performance pads are as versatile as they are powerful, offering a plethora of possibilities from hot cue, roll, saved loop, and sampler functions to flexible musical tools. The brand-new Piano Play mode transforms the 16 pads into a series of cue point triggers arranged in semitones, mimicking the white and black keys of a piano. With three different available scales, the DDJ-REV5 opens up an entirely new perspective on connecting your tracks and parts.

The DDJ-REV5 also provides you with unparalleled stem separation for limitless remix possibilities. With dedicated illuminated pads, you have instant access to the stems of each track, separated into vocals, drums, bass, and melodies when using Serato DJ Pro. When using Rekordbox, the stems are separated into vocals, drums, and a more comprehensive instruments category. You can even adjust the volume of the stems individually and mute them for dynamic real-time mixes and mash-ups. The Deck Move and Dual Deck modes offer even greater flexibility by allowing you to control both decks on each side simultaneously.

For the DDJ-REV5, Pioneer DJ places great importance on seamlessly connecting analog-style and modern control. The large jog wheels are textured and reminiscent of vinyl records, while the high-precision Magvel Crossfader made of robust metal effortlessly handles aggressive beat juggling. Additionally, you can individually adjust the weight of the jog wheels through the Jog Feel feature.

The DDJ-REV5 also makes transition mixing a breeze. With the Auto BPM Transition function, you only need to set the number of bars for the transition and select the starting point of the next track, and the DDJ-REV5 automatically adjusts the tempo to match the gap.

Enhancing the impressive range of features, the DDJ-REV5 offers extensive connectivity options, including two USB-C ports for smooth switching between two computers. The plug-and-play compatibility with Serato DJ Pro and Rekordbox opens up diverse performance possibilities for you.

Whether you are new to the world of DJing or an experienced professional, the Pioneer DJ DDJ-REV5 is an essential tool that provides you with the freedom and control to create and showcase your individual sound.

Large Jog Wheels and a MAGVEL FADER

The large jog wheels are responsive, reliable, and easy to use—with a feel similar to classic CDJ devices—and each features a display showing the playback position so you always know where you are in the track. You can also adjust the jog feeling to find the perfect weight for your jog wheel. The MAGVEL FADER is smooth, durable, and ready to translate every tiny movement you make, allowing you to scratch with precision.

Scratch-Style Layout

The long tempo sliders on the DDJ-REV5 run horizontally across the deck areas, while the performance pads and lever FX area are positioned in the mixer section to enable dynamic performances. This mimics the setup of the PLX-series decks and DJM-S-series mixers, loved by open-format DJs around the world. The proximity of the pads, levers, and faders allows you to blend scratch techniques with pad play and effects. A unique experience for creative DJ artistry at the highest level.

Dedicated Buttons for Easy Stems Control

With the Stems buttons on the DDJ-REV5, you can easily create live mashups and remixes. Your tracks are divided into stems in the software—vocals, melody, bass, and drums in Serato DJ Pro or vocals, drums, and Inst (other instruments like bass and synthesizers) in rekordbox—that you can play separately.

• Stems Mute/Solo
  Mute or isolate individual stems to create spontaneous mashups.
• Stems Separate
  Split different stems of a track across separate decks to create live remixes.
• Stems Level
  Use the EQ controls to adjust the volume of individual stems.

You can use the various stems in combination with Deck Move to effortlessly create and control multiple live mashups and remixes simultaneously. An innovative tool to unleash your creativity as a DJ.

New Auto-BPM Transition Feature for Seamless Mixing

The new Auto-BPM Transition makes mixing between musical genres with significantly different tempos a breeze. Select a number of bars for the transition, and when you press the button, the currently playing track will gradually change its tempo to match the tempo of the track loaded on the other deck. This allows you to mix seamlessly and introduce the new track. During the transition, you can also activate stems, auto-loops, and key lock to optimize control. A new tool to make your mixes even smoother and more professional.

New Piano Play Mode for Intuitive Musical Performances

Similar to Pitch Play, you can use the 16 performance pads to trigger a cue point in different semitones. With the new Piano Play mode, the pitch changes are arranged so that the pads form a piano keyboard, with the "white" keys in the lower row and the "black" keys above. Choose from 3 scales, and even if you have no knowledge of music theory or scales, you'll be able to play a melody easily. An innovative mode that allows you to perform musically in an intuitive way and fully express your creativity.

Multiple Inputs and Outputs as well as 2 USB Type-C Ports

The DDJ-REV5 can serve as the centerpiece of a larger setup thanks to its numerous inputs and outputs, including an XLR master output that is perfect for use in professional environments. There are also 2 USB Type-C ports available for PC/Mac, allowing for easy DJ switching with a quick change on the controller. A flexible and powerful tool that enables seamless transitions and maximum versatility during live performances.
