Overview:
The DDJ-REV5’s onboard compatibility with Serato DJ Pro and rekordbox isn’t just for seamlessly moving between two USB-C-connected computers across both pieces of software. Dedicated, backlit pads are designed to provide instant access to stems from any track, broken out by vocals, drums, basses, and melodies when using Serato DJ Pro. With rekordbox, stems are separated by vocals, drums, and a more-inclusive instrument category. You’re even able to adjust the volume of and mute stems individually for dynamic, real-time mixing and mash-ups. Deck Move and Dual Deck modes grant even more flexibility: the former allowing you quick, one-button deck movement; the latter lets you control the two decks of each side simultaneously. Taken together, your creative potential for mind-melting remixes and mash-ups is virtually limitless.
Advanced transition control and inspiring arrangements
With the DDJ-REV5, Pioneer DJ sought to blend the tactility and ethos of analog-style open-format scratching with cutting-edge control. Each large jog wheel is textured to resemble a vinyl record, while the hyper-precise Magvel crossfader is constructed from rugged metal to hold up to the most aggressive beat juggling. The jog wheels can even be customized via the Jog Feel feature, allowing you to dial in the perfect weight for your style. With so many onboard performance tools to explore, you might find yourself wishing you had more hands. Fortunately, Pioneer DJ has yet another innovative tool to help with that: Auto bpm Transitioning. All you need to do is cue the number of bars for the transition to take place, select the starting point of the next track, and DDJ-REV5 does the rest, automatically adjusting the tempo at a rate consistent with the gap. Plus, Stems, Auto Loop, and Key Lock controls can be implemented with these transitions so you can get hands-on with the three dedicated FX slots, lever FX, per-deck 3-band EQ, multimode filters, or any other performance tool for complex, detailed, and explosive transitions.
