BIGGER JOG WHEELS: The bigger the jog wheels, the better for scratching. The jogs on the DDJ-REV1 are the same size as the ones on the DDJ-SR2, a popular controller that's higher up in our range.

LEVER FX: Dynamically add texture to the music with Lever FX. Pull the levers down and hold them to apply effects from Serato DJ Lite in short bursts or push them up to lock on effects and free up your hands for scratching or track browsing.

Tracking Scratch: Silently takes the music back to the cue point the moment you move the jog wheel from backward to forward or lift your hand away - saving you from closing the fader and finding the right place in the music to start the scratch again. All you need to do is to select the Tracking Scratch Pad mode, press a Performance Pad to choose the Scratch Crossfader Cuts pattern you want to use, then start moving the jog.

MIXED MICROPHONE AUDIO: For the first time in a Pioneer DJ controller at this level, the output of the master audio is mixed with the sound from the microphone if you have one plugged in. This means you don't need any external equipment such as a soundcard or separate mixer if you want to add speech or vocals to your performance and route it through your computer. All sounds are sent to Serato DJ Lite so you can stream from there.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED IN ONE BOX: Adding value to your purchase, Austin Bazaar bundles your instrument with necessary accessories. Save yourself the hassle and save some money while you're at it. We've included a DJ laptop stand and a pair of headphones so you can begin using your instrument immediately. Keep your controller in mint condition with the included polishing cloth.
