The DDJ-REV5 is a new-generation controller with Serato DJ Pro and rekordbox compatibility. This 2-channel unit offers an authentic scratch experience, with Pioneer's proprietary MAGVEL crossfader, and a similar footprint and layout to its bigger sibling the REV7. The REV5 trades the heavy turntable motors and steel platters of the REV7 for larger, static (non-motorized) CDJ-style jogwheels, and adds dedicated Stems controls and several features never before seen in a DJ controller, like the powerful Auto BPM transition function and new Piano Play mode which lets users play any saved cue across the performance pads like a single octave MIDI keyboard.
This controller hits a sweet spot for features and versatility for the price, and is well suited to a wide variety of DJ setups and playing styles, from open-format DJs to digital turntablists to producer/DJs looking for a controller with some unique creative tools for DJing sets of all original music, and everyone in between!
