The Pioneer DJ DDJ-REV1 matches perfectly with the freeSerato DJ Lite software, boasting a brand-new battle-style layout that’s easyto use and perfect for playing like a pro. The design of this 2-channel DJcontroller emulates a professional DJM-S mixer plus PLX turntable setup,including specialized features for open-format and scratch DJs. Brand-New Battle-Style Layout Get hands-on with an interface designed to emulate 2 x PLX turntables and aDJM-S series mixer – the kind of setup used by pro battle DJs.There’s plenty of space to perform mixing and scratching techniques thanks tothe new arrangement of the controls on the DDJ-REV1. The tempo sliders are 60mm- longer than those on the DDJ-SB3 to give you finer control – and they runhorizontally above the decks while the Performance Pads have beenmoved into the mixer section so you can intuitively combine effects, triggersamples, and scratch your tracks. Bigger Jog Wheels The bigger the jog wheels, the better for scratching. The jogs on the DDJ-REV1are the same size as the ones on the DDJ-SR2. Lever FX Dynamically add texture to the music with Lever FX. Pull the levers down andhold them to apply effects from Serato DJ Lite in shortbursts or push them up to lock on effects and free up your hands forscratching or track browsing. Tracking Scratch: Get a Helping Hand with Scratching The Tracking Scratch feature silently takes the music back to the cue point themoment you move the jog wheel from backward to forward or lift your hand away -saving you from closing the fader and finding the right place in the music tostart the scratch again.
