You where right on point on everything.. Wow. When I got mine... It is exactly how you described it... This is my first Pioneer equipment ever. Always have been a Rane guy and A turntable guy.. But this thing is the real deal... I can do my tricks and routines just like turntables.. Cant do them on my Rane One.. But this thing was made for us.. Eveything is exavtly where it needs to be.. Wow. Never thought I would be giving props to a Pioneer controller.. But times have changed

THIS CONTROLLER IS FOR A OLD SCHOOL DJ'S THIS IS THE MOST CLOSER OF REAL TURNTABLES I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS CONTROLLER I LOVE THE PLATTERS THEY ARE SO SMOOTH

Thank you Terry. This was very helpful. Don't feel to bad Im waiting for mine as well. This will be my first actual moving platter dj controller. You've been helpful along way while we all wait.

this review confirmed my next birthday present!! thank you for honesty

Thanks for all the rev7 vids and taking it to the real world. Props to pioneer reaching out to the turntablists with this controller. Heard the homies Prolifix and IFTW had input for the design. Can't wait to get mine!

Awesome review Terry. Can't wait to get one :)

Good review again my guy. I'm stickling with my One, but you answered all my questions.

Terry I like the fact that you show us your actual gig using the specific things you talking about... Can't be more accurate. Thank you for that review... I'll get one soon

Good review Clevland as usual. Looks like a very beautiful machine. Pioneer has a winner here so far.👍🏾👍🏾

The wait for this one is killing me! I ordered mine and now waiting, like everyone else. At least the S9 will do, until it arrives. As ever, many thanks for the update!

Good review Terry. Honest review and straight to the point. Wow!!!! at 2:39 in the video you was rocking th crowd........ niceeeeeee

Dope Review As Always My Brother And Just Want To Say Your Mic Man In The Video Was Doing His Thang Sounds Good!💯

Loved the review Cleveland Terry !!

Love you’re honest opinions / reviews, especially how you appreciate everyone has different opinions and uses for equipment and no Hardware is going to be perfect for EVERY Dj. So calm and clear. True Professional.☑️

Great vid again. Thanks for the insight on the pitch bend. It's one of a few things I've been concerned about before taking the dive.

Thanks for the update. you look sad at the end when you said you have to give it back, Hope you get one sooner than later. Mine is coming in three weeks. Fun times !!!

Love your field test review (what I call it ). My own personal issue is learning a new piece of gear 😩😩. Been using the Rane One for a while. I’m tore on what to do make the change or not. But again thanks for the GREAT REVIEW. CLEVELAND ROCKS

Excellent review real talk and framing

Good info and explanation Cleveland Terry!

just got mine! awesome so far. thanks for the tip on making your own slip mats

Love this channel bro!

it was perfect review that I ever seen big thx !

Great review my guy! As a new DJ doing gigs, I would love to get my hands on these and try them out for events. Thanks for the insight 🙏

I just pre ordered mine on Amazon,I can’t wait to get my hands on it

thanks for all this info, I pre order mine in January, im waiting and exiting ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡

Very usefule review, I was wanting to get the Rev 7 and this review was cool.

great video! love your content

Great summary after a month of use.

Nice review man

Good vid…I’m probably going to cop it. Question…do you run the Rev 7 through an external mixer at gigs, or do you go straight from the Rev 7 to your speakers? Peace!

Good review! Thanks

Great review 💯

Just got my Rev7 a couple days ago. I have 2 events this weekend so I will be giving it a workout. Very excited. When I set it up the first day, I had no problem adapting to the layout. I already have the s7 and it feels just like it. I will be taking this to all of my gigs and events. Well most of them. I still have my ddj 1000srt. Not getting rid of it, I'll have it for a back up in case of an emergency. Now I'm wondering when the decksaver will be available. I just got them for my Denons LC6000.

Great break down!!

Appreciate the long-term review. Great insight 🙏🏼

Yes sir!! Battle style is where it’s at!!!

👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾ty for this one brother T.

Review game is strong dude... Much appreciated

LOVE IT I'M GOING TO ORDER THREE OF THEM ONE FOR MY STATION, NIGHT CLUB, AND ONE FOR MOBILE DJ. HAVE A BLESSING DAY D.J. 17:40 MIX 96.1.

Great review , I bought the rev 7 ! Thinking about cutting a butter rug to fit for slip matts similar to my turntable set up ! Did you try this and if so what was the outcome ??

This is definitely an interesting controller... great review.

Great review bro. If I had the Rev7…I’d looooove the duck-down effect. It’s probably the dopest effect that I’ve heard…PERIOD!!! On a side note, the Pioneer DDJ SZ2 has an echo effect on the microphone. IT SUCKS…but it has that feature. LOL. Keep rockin! Holla.

Nice video, I hope they come out with a rekordbox version

1 main reason I actually didn't buy a controller since the vestax vci 380 is because of the pictch placement but this thing I might have to consider. Looks dope!!!

Good points and I'm not a fan of Pioneer but much respect to them for bringing this equipment to fruition.

Your a dope MC my dude. Dang I felt like I was really at that party in beginning video

Great review Terry! As the slipmats that come with the Rev7 are rings, what did you mean when you mentioned that you got new slipmats? Did you cut your own rings from Butter Rugs?

Excellent as always brother Terry you answered my questions,nice controller I own the Ddj 1000 Rkbox and still love it I’m looking for spinning jogs hopefully Rekordbox does something like that for their own with pitch on side lol 😂 I’m a Chicago househead I have a lot of reworked old er stuff with constant synced beats added but still need to ride the pitch hey like u said it’s their 1st run with moving platters time will tell.

Thanks, having a hard time choosing between this and the S11, I have the S9 now.

Hey man! Nice review. Would it be possible to do a quick vid on how you changed the slip mats? or do you have a link to them being changed? can you buy standard 7" slip mates to use or can you buy ones specifically made for the rev7? I noticed it's been out a while now, will they upgrade, make a rev7 2 or 8 or something you think? cheers!

What a beast this controller! I’am pretty sure that the next one will be with a big screen Rev 7 Mk2! This controller is for turntablist like me old school! Thanks for sharing buddy 👍👍👍 I’am just afraid to touch the jog when you set the pitch fader ! It’s a success

just ordered this thing but its all back ordered. Cant wait to get it looks dope

Great video ! I have a question bro. I am about to acquire my first controller and at first I was interested in the Rev 1. My ultimate go is to get vinyl as well and I read that motorized was the way to go. Being new would the Rev 7 or Rev 5 be too much ? Should I go Rev 7 since I love the turntable feel ?

I'm in the portion of this video (~6min in) where you're talking about the pitch faders being on top. Is there any such thing as external pitch faders you can plug in somewhere (a secondary USB-B port, perhaps) and it work with the controller? That would be a cool addition to the accessory market. Someone can use the Rev7, and then purchase an external fader to set to the side and use vertically, similar to Apple's Magic Trackpad you can buy and have down on the table top if your laptop is mounted higher, but it this case I'm picturing an external fader being wired in to either the controller or the laptop. Could be cool, and maybe even external channels where you could essentially add a 3rd or 4th channel to a 2-channel controller (there are external mixers, yes, but I’m thinking ones that are market to look like an extension of the controller and also work with the controller’s jog wheels). If this doesn't exist, steal my idea, CT, and give me 10% of each sale! lol

Good review thanKs

so i guess i'm the only one that have mistakenly bumped the pitch faders on the side of a ddj-sx because they're on the side,I'm glad they put them on the top

Good job .tnks you.

Nice video as always!! If I have the opportunity, I will be looking to get one of this. My DDJ-1000 USB board die and I'm not looking into fixing it and since the sample deck are not one to one I much rather move on from it.

the pitch faders are in the exact right place if you come from a turntable set up.I have Rane 12s and i have turntables.Had this come out sooner i might well have got this and the Pitch faders for me would not be an issue as i often had my Technics in battle mode.This was built for djs that dont like controllers.

Cleveland Terry so GANGSTA!!!

I frequently use 2 mics and Aux input... the mics are implemented well enough... I'd really love the ability to CUE the aux input on a 2ch device....making it basically a 2+1 ch mixer... I may have to look into this unit further, and consider using the channel inputs as "aux" in some cases. I REALLY LIKE the jog screens and how they worked that in, as well as hardware effects built into the mixer.... the Rev7 really is a 2ch battle mixer, with the decks built in... using external inputs and still having effects is a big deal.... I didn't look into the Rane One very much just because the mixer section is so weak. As long as the jogs are robust enough, this seems like a great option for a lot of people, and maybe soon for me as well...

Thanks brother.

Thank you!

Always love your honest reviews, but I'm thinking that anyone who complains about the nudging is the dj's that grew up on controllers... that's the normal nudging action for that setting... where as for a turntable user it is always delicate touches, even when scratching.. just my two cents thanks

Great video, good info. Roland 808 has echo on the mic, with other sound fx. Thanks for the video

yeah ive got a s11 and im hoping for these updates also s11 suppose to be the ''god'' of all these s series mixers but smalls things like you've mentioned end up end up being major when other features are ready to use right away

Just received my Rev7, and I think I will agree on purchasing some slipmats. As is, there is absolutely zero friction, which makes it quite an adjustment coming from turntables.

Bro you the are the truth when it comes to DJ GEAR. I’m thinking of selling the SRT to put that 💰 REV 7

Good to know if you don’t want the instant scratch you can use it as a sampler or cue button

Hi there, I have tested the rev7 in a DJ Shop here in my town and i‘ve ordered one. So now i‘ve two questions maybe you can help me: - i couldn‘t find the „cue loop button“ like on the S9. So can you maybe tell me how the cue loop work on the rev7 And the 2. question is, i have the S9 Mixer in combination with turntables and i’ve using it for a long time and i love it. But what do you think now when you have the rev7, is it anymore usefull or necessary to keep the S9 or should it be sold? Because at the end of the day the rev7 is an expensive toy. Thank you.

That facade set up is dope. What is the tabel you have your rev 7 on? Is that DJ furniture?

hey there, great video! i've been a 1200 n mixer dj for nearly 30years and use middle of records to beat match - not the spindle or the sides of the platters. how is the rev7 for mixing this way please?

Hi DJ, I've been looking for the Rev 7 but it's been out of stock for months. I really want it but it's soooo hard to find. I'm in the market for a new controller and I was going to just purchase the SRT 1000. What's your thoughts.

Hi there! I have had a Rev7 for about 2 weeks now and I have had an issue with marker drift when beat juggling. My marker starts at 12 O'clock and after about a dozen juggles ends up at 1 O'clock. This happens even with the instant scratch beat loop without a laptop plugged in. So it can't be a Serato issue. Have you noticed this same issue? Thanks!

Good review’s

Hey Terry I had a question wich dj laptop stand do you recommend for on the go being a mobile dj??

Great video! Quick question. Can you use this REV7 for instant doubles? Meaning I usually go out with 1 CDJ and my S9 mixer. I play internal on the left deck and just use the CDJ on my right with the instant double feature. I am assuming you can do that with this controller?

I want(ed) an all-in-one like RX3, but saw XZ had bigger platters. But now Rev7 decks won my heart. Maybe one day there’ll be a rev7 all-in-one!!

Can you cue the Aux on the headphone? I don't see any switch to do it. How do you listen to the Aux input, prior to mixing it in the master out?

Nice one CT

You are the man, I rely on your reviews to trust any piece of gear EDIT: but the audio of your videos has gone down on your recent videos please have a look at that and normalise the audio

Love your reviews...Question: Will Pioneer come out with a Rekordbox version ?

@clevelandterry did you cut butter rugs to fit the inside of the platter?

Can't wait for mines to arrive. Tired of lugging around turntables and CDJs. 2023 its lit

I know how effective XLR is in an all analogue rig to cancel out certain noise...but does that apply to a digital system like the REV7 ? I'm curious.

Maaaan im just jealous you doing outside events in the winter!!

Great Review! I had my Rev-7 for about a week now and I agree with what you're saying. The performance pad placement is sooooo much better than under the jogs. I was using a Rane One for over a year for my portable set up. I use a Rane 72 and 12s for my home set up. There are some things I do miss from my Rane One. For, cutting/beat juggling, I like the feel of the Rane One better, but I do have aftermarket slip mats which probably adds to the feel. The stock Rev-7 is too loose. I like your fix for this and hopefully it will have a similar feel once i try it out. I took the Rev 7 out for a gig and I miss not being able to tuck the cords under the controller. I bought some furniture risers, and they actually work well, but the hassle for a portable set up is a pain. I ordered a flight case which will eliminate the cord issues. The flight case will also eliminate the other issue i have... which is dealing with that stupid power brick every time i break down and set up again. It will live in the flight case and I won't deal with it anymore. The last thing i want to mention is that it has some nice built in Fx. A lot of peeps give a lot of shade to the Serato Fx, but I never had a problem with them and they always worked well on my Rane One. One weird thing I did notice, is that during beat juggle practice, there was some drift of the markers on the Rev-7 that I did not get on the Rane One. Maybe its just my unit and hopefully a software update will correct that. But, it really only occurs with longer juggling routines/practice and not noticeable under normal conditions.

Hey Cleve, question: What are you using for a case for this beast? So you think you could fly with it in a soft case checked into a large suitcase? Thanks man

Why did they make the pitch fader plus and minus backwards if they were making them for turntablists?

@11:30 - looking at a computer or waveform argument... - I came late to the party with Serato with Rane 72 - and the laptop is virtually hidden on my rig - seeing the waveform in real time shows the world of information regarding what is on that audio track.. I would say pretty basic fundamental to be able to read a waveform - you see your cue points without cue points so to speak.

Cleveland, first of all love your videos. I was noticing while watching this video that when you are playing live at that party, you are using Serato with the Rev 7. Why do you have a secondary laptop to the right with Rekordbox?

Love your content! Need your opinion, do you HAVE to know how to scratch to be a pro dj? It’s something that I struggle with a bit.

A cpl of my crew members have rev 7 ive played on them. I have a rane one and set of 12s in the crib. Im mot buying anymore dj equipment. I will say this, only people tht care abt the technical stuff, effects and etc are other djs. Party goers could care leas about what equipment you play on. If you could put together two walkmans they would be haPPy as long as their fave songs are being played

we are approaching 2024. do you still use this controller and how is this holding up? thank you

Hey CT what is the tune at 7.15? Love that!

Is it possible to go on Decks 3 or 4 on the REV7, like you can with the REV1?

How many Controllers do you owned Mr Terry can you tell us thank you.

Whatup Cleveland, did you purchase the Rev 7 yet? I have been using the cheapest low-end controllers since I have taken up this DJ hobby (10 years ago). Now I have an opportunity to treat myself to more professional DJ equipment. I am not a turntablist, but I'm considering the Rev 7, Rane One or going all out on the Rane 7 and 12 MK2's. I've checked your reviews on all and other videos as well. I understand that depending on usage, you will run into some issues regardless of brand, laptop, DJ software, etc. Some are luckier than others and don't run into many issues. But your reviews help and I learned a good deal and appreciate it. Thanks. 🙏

What are your thoughts on the Talkover regarding the mic? I ask because the talkover on Pioneer DDJ 1000 Rekordbox version, works great. But the DDJ SX's series talkover is terrible. I wanted to know if you noticed or have used this feature and what are your thoughts.

Curious compared to an old Denon sc3900 cdj which one is better for scratching ?
