Pioneer DJ DDJ-REV1 2-Channel Scratch-Style DJ Controller
The Pioneer DJ DDJ-REV1 is a 2-channel DJ controller designed for beginners and aspiring DJs who want to develop their mixing and scratching skills. Its battle-style layout takes inspiration from professional DJM-S mixers and PLX turntables, giving you a familiar arrangement for open-format and scratch-style performances.
The controller works with Serato DJ Lite and includes features that make learning and practising DJ techniques more accessible. Its larger jog wheels, eight performance pads, Lever FX and Tracking Scratch function provide useful controls for creative mixing.
Whether you are practising at home, learning to scratch, creating DJ content or preparing for performances, the DDJ-REV1 offers a practical introduction to scratch-style DJing.
Battle-Style Layout for Scratch DJs
The DDJ-REV1 features a battle-style control layout inspired by a professional DJM-S mixer and two PLX turntables.
Its horizontal tempo sliders and centrally positioned performance pads provide a different arrangement from conventional entry-level DJ controllers. This design gives you space to practise scratching, mixing and combining effects while developing your DJ skills.
Larger Jog Wheels for Scratching
The DDJ-REV1 features two 154 mm jog wheels designed to provide more room for scratching and track control.
Use the jog wheels to manipulate tracks, practise scratch techniques and adjust playback. Their larger size helps create a more hands-on experience for DJs learning open-format and scratch-style performance.
Lever FX for Creative Effects
Lever FX gives you a convenient way to apply effects during your performance.
Pull the effect levers down to apply effects while holding them in position, or push them up to lock the effects on. This lets you add creative changes to your mixes while keeping your hands available for scratching or browsing tracks.
Tracking Scratch for Easier Scratching Practice
Tracking Scratch helps you practise scratching by automatically returning the music to the selected cue point when you move the jog wheel from backward to forward or lift your hand away.
You can select the Tracking Scratch pad mode and choose supported scratch patterns using the performance pads. This feature provides additional assistance when learning scratch techniques.
Eight Performance Pads and Scratch Bank
The DDJ-REV1 features eight performance pads that support different functions through its pad modes.
You can use the pads for Hot Cues, Auto Loop, Tracking Scratch and Sampler functions. Scratch Bank also lets you load scratch samples assigned to four banks in compatible Serato DJ software.
These controls help you experiment with samples, cue points, loops and different performance techniques.

- Serato DJ Lite: The bundled DJ software provides the main platform for mixing and practising with the controller.
- Serato DJ Pro: The controller supports Serato DJ Pro through a separate paid licence or subscription. A free trial may also be available.
