Battle-Style DJ Layout

The DDJ-REV1 features a redesigned battle-style control layout inspired by professional scratch DJ setups. The decks are arranged to emulate two PLX-style turntables around a DJM-S-style mixer, while the horizontal tempo sliders provide a natural workflow for DJs who want to develop scratching and battle-style mixing techniques.

Large Jog Wheels and Precise Tempo Control

The 154 mm jog wheels provide ample surface area for scratching, cueing, and pitch bending. Their larger design gives DJs greater control during manual performance, while the 60 mm horizontal tempo sliders provide fine adjustment of track speed.

Creative Performance Controls

The DDJ-REV1 includes four performance pad modes: Hot Cue, Auto Loop, Tracking Scratch, and Sampler. These modes provide quick access to essential performance functions, while the dedicated Scratch Bank button allows users to instantly load scratch samples assigned in Serato DJ Lite or Serato DJ Pro.

Tracking Scratch

Tracking Scratch is designed to make scratch performance more accessible by automatically returning the track to its original playback position when the jog wheel is released. This allows beginners to experiment with scratch techniques while maintaining the musical timing of the track.

Hands-On Effects

The DDJ-REV1 features dedicated effect levers that can be held in the ON position or locked into continuous operation. This provides a tactile way to apply effects during transitions, scratch routines, and live performances without relying entirely on the computer screen.

Microphone and Streaming

A dedicated 1/4-inch TS microphone input allows a microphone to be connected directly to the controller. The DDJ-REV1 can mix microphone audio with the master output and send the combined sound to Serato DJ Lite, allowing DJs to add voice commentary or vocals to streams without requiring an external sound card or mixer.

Serato DJ Lite Integration

The DDJ-REV1 is designed to work with Serato DJ Lite software. Connect the controller to a PC or Mac using the USB cable to access tactile control of mixing, effects, performance pads, jog wheels, and other DJ functions. Serato DJ Pro is also supported with the appropriate license or subscription.

With dimensions of 526 × 255.5 × 59.2 mm, the DDJ-REV1 provides a full-featured scratch-oriented layout while remaining compact enough for home studios, practice spaces, mobile DJ setups, and content-creation environments. Its USB bus-powered design eliminates the need for a separate power supply.
