Meet the DDJ-REV5, a New-Generation Controller Offering an Authentic Scratch Experience and Innovative Features
The DDJ-REV5 is equipped with large jog wheels for intricate and precise scratching when used with the robust and slick MAGVEL FADER. Also, the long tempo sliders on the DDJ-REV5 run horizontally above the deck sections while the controller places the Performance Pads and Lever FX in the mixer section to emulate the setups preferred by open-format DJs around the world.
Large Jog Wheels and Magvel Fader for Dynamic Scratching
Scratch, battle, and perform intuitively on the DDJ-REV5, which blends an authentic scratch experience with innovative features. The large jog wheels are responsive, reliable, and easy to operate with a feel just like those on classic CDJ units and they each include a display with playhead position to help users know where they are in the track. Users can also customize the Jog Feel to find a perfect jog wheel weight. The MAGVEL FADER is slick, robust, and ready to translate every tiny movement to help users scratch with precision.
Scratch-Style Layout for Open-Format Freedom
The long tempo sliders on the DDJ-REV5 run horizontally above the deck sections while the Performance Pads and Lever FX are placed in the mixer section for dynamic performances, emulating the PLX Series deck + DJM-S Series mixer setups loved by open-format DJs around the world. Thanks to the proximity of the pads, levers, and faders, users can fuse scratching with pad play and effects.
Dedicated Buttons for Easy Stems Control
Users can get creative and make live mashups and remixes using the Stems buttons on the DDJ-REV5. Tracks are split into different Stems within the software vocals, melody, bass, and drums in Serato DJ Pro; or vocal, drums, and inst (other instruments including bass and synths) in rekordbox allowing users to play them separately.
Stems Mute/Solo
Users can Solo or mute the different Stems to create mashups on the fly. For example, users can play the instruments from a track on deck 1, then play the vocals from another track on deck 2 to make a mashup.Stems Separate
Isolate different Stems of a track on separate decks to make live remixes. For instance, play instruments from a track on deck 1 while scratching its vocals on deck 2. Or, users may choose a Stem to isolate and then add an effect to only that part.
Stems Level
Use the EQ knobs to adjust the volume for separate Stems of a track.Use different Stems in combination with Deck Move, which allows easy movement of tracks between decks, and Dual Deck, which enables users to simultaneously operate the 2 left or right decks together. This makes it easy to make and control multiple live mashups and remixes at once.
New Auto BPM Transition for Smooth Mixing
Mixing between musical genres with vastly different tempos is easy on the DDJ-REV5, thanks to the new Auto BPM Transition feature. Choose a number of bars for the transition and, when you press the dedicated button, the track thats playing will gradually change tempo to match the track loaded to the other deck to mix or drop in the new track at the perfect moment. Because the incoming tracks BPM matches that of the previous one, the transition will be seamless. Users can also set Stems, Auto Loop, and Key Lock control to be applied during the transition. These automatic processes free up users hands to use other controls, because users wont need to adjust the tempo slider manually.
New Piano Play Mode for Intuitive Musical Performances
DJs will find it more natural than ever to express themselves musically on the DDJ-REV5 thanks to the new Piano Play mode. Just like Pitch Play, DJs can use the 16 Performance Pads to trigger a cue point in different semitones, but now the changes in pitch are arranged so the pads form a keyboard with the white keys on the bottom row and the black ones at the top, as if playing a piano. There are 3 scales to choose from, and even if users are not familiar with musical theory or scales, theyll find it easy to play a tune with the improved arrangement of the tones.
Multiple Inputs and Outputs Plus 2 USB Type-C Ports for Smooth DJ Transitions
DJs can use the DDJ-REV5 as the center of a larger setup thanks to its wide variety of inputs and outputs, including an XLR master out thats perfect for use in professional environments. There are 2 USB Type-C ports for PC/Mac too, making it easy to swap between DJs with a simple flick of a switch on the controller.
