DDJ-REV5 is a battle style DJ controller with the scratch-oriented layout of the REV line, positioned below the motorised REV7 for DJs who want the battle format without the platters.
Battle layout, jog wheels instead of motors.
This 2-channel, Serato DJ Pro and rekordbox-compatible controller offers an authentic scratch experience and a variety of innovative features to enable more creative, open-format DJ performances. 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 LeverFX in the mixer section to emulate the setups preferred by open-format DJs around the world. It also includes unique Stems control buttons for live mashups and remixes to allow DJ to individually play or mute different parts of any track, such as drums or vocals. To enable creativity, the DDJ-REV5 features the first-ever Auto BPM Transition for seamless track mixing over a shift in BPM. This feature smoothly adjusts the tempo of a track over a specified number of beats so you're totally free when choosing songs and never bound by BPM ranges. And the new Piano Play offers an immersive musical experience where you can trigger a cue point in different semitones, with the changes in pitch arranged on the 16 Performance Pads to recreate the layout of a piano's keyboard. The DDJ-REV5 is compatible with Serato DJ Pro and rekordbox. To start DJing, simply connect the controller to a PC/Mac running your chosen application.

REV5 or REV7?
The REV7 has motorised platters that spin like turntables, which is what scratch technique really wants. The REV5 uses jog wheels in the same battle layout at a considerably lower position. If you scratch seriously, the platters are the difference.
What Does Battle Style Mean?
The decks flank a central mixer section with the crossfader placed for scratch work, mirroring a turntable and battle mixer rig rather than a conventional controller.
Does It Support Stem Separation?
The REV5 includes performance features from the current Pioneer DJ generation. Confirm the specific feature set for your software by calling 844-687-4208.
Why Pioneer DJ
Pioneer DJ has set the standard in club and festival booths for three decades, to the point that the CDJ and DJM are what a rider means when it says industry standard. The company builds the whole chain: media players, mixers, all-in-one systems, controllers, turntables, headphones and monitoring, all tied together by rekordbox. It now trades as AlphaTheta, which is the parent company name, with Pioneer DJ retained as the product brand.
