NOTE!!! The pitch goes to +50. I was referring to the pitch on instant scratch, not the deck itself.

I have been going crazy looking for the perfect controller. And here it is! Thank you for the full review. Keep on doing what you do.

Dude. Your videos are so helpful. I been in the market for a new mixer since Rane/Serato announced my Sixty Eight would stop working. After watching your meticulous comparison vid I decided to go with the S7 for the time being - while I get back on my practice + spend time learning Rekordbox. Without the effort you had put into succinctly defining the differences I would still be flailing as well as scratching my head with some of the functions - thankfully your vid is a good reference point. This said - I’m surprised there isn’t a more comprehensive set of vids from Pioneer and Serato to help really impart the muscle memory of all the different features tucked away (particularly key functions). There are a few annoyances about the S7 at this time (eg no mute for fx return which I am used to from the Rane 68) however I am finding that quite a few are just because I need to tweak some settings or explore further. Anyway, had to say thanks for the thorough vids - you and Mojaxx vids are consistently on point & invaluable.

I appreciate your details! I purchased the DDJ 1000 SRT based on your reviews This is definitely a must have if your a scratch DJ using a SRT 1000 . PURCHASED

You are always on point. And, you answered all my questions I had about this new controller befor I could even ask.

Thank you for the video, I used spin on Technic 1200’s back in the 80’s and early 90’s back in Chicago,but then I jumped off to pursue playing live music etc. I’m actually getting back in the game and have been looking at controllers and this one caught my eye due to the spinning platter. I really enjoyed the video and what the Ddj-rev7 can do. I’m going to go ahead and get it so I can be ready by May 20th 2022 which will be my first DJ performance since the 1992, mad respect to you and your channel and thank you once again for the review. Blessings and success to you, your family and channel.

Thanks for making the best videos, they are super helpful. I just got my DDJ-REV7 today, looking forward to using it at my gigs! Time to return the Rane One 😂

Wowzers! 😲 The Rev-7 looks beautiful and this is a wonderful review full of useful information as always! Bravo and Thank YOU Mr. Cleveland Terry 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Great review as always. I'm torn on whether or not I need need this. It's a gorgeous piece of hardware that's for sure.

dope video. the best review on youtube right now. you always give a little more. that felt slip mat design is genius. something I would have definitely done. thanks again.

@Cleveland Terry DOPE review CT 👍 Especially explaining the line sticker vs removing the digital marker option

Great review Cleveland!!! Very thorough. Thanks.

Bro! This video just sold me on buying this. Ive been watching so many bad video reviews for this unit. I've been using my NS7 for ages and wanted to upgrade. THANK YOU!

Quality breakdown...great review...much appreciated

I am a vinyl dj. Today I used the Rev7 for the first time. Absolutely mind-blowing! Of course there's always room for extras. But using the Rane One and Rane Four I think they absolutely nailed it! OMG I love this controller!

Excellent review, thanks CT!

Thanks Brother. This maybe the one I step up to from my Ddj SB3 when I’m ready. Appreciate you

Very professional review . I learned a lot ! thank you

Bro! As always, great review. I have the SRT1000 and although I love the Magvel fader, I'm not a fan of the "Nexus" style mixer layout. This is the one!!!! Thank you!

It took 6 months to receive mine yesterday!! Bought it the 1ST day they were listed!! Just got it set-up and so far love it!! Gonna play around with it at home for a month or so to get accustomed to the difference between Serato Pro and Traktor Pro. Plus the differences between the controllers. Excited about it!

I love your reviews always on point and detailed.

Man your enthusiasm and passion is infectious. Really appreciate the straight scoop

Dope review! Can’t wait for the side by side with the Rane One!!

Great review as always.Everything I could ask for being that i have always used turntables never owned a controller but this guy may be my first one.

"Controller of the Year". . . I like bold predictions! Now where can get my hands on one! Great review and I like your fortune teller reference when you were making your "phase" slipmat for the Rev 7. LOL

I saw that this just came out and was crossing my fingers you did the review so happy you did 🙏🏾🙏🏾😂 my guy!!

Goods informative stuff as usual Terry. I just pre ordered mines.

Great review. This is the controller I have been looking for. Good job pioneer

Great review. Glad i held out for a new controller. Definitely getting this one!

Amazing review! Thanks for yet another killer video!

Super pumped that you got hands on with this sweet controller haha wait till wifey sees this for her Birthday ❤️👊🏿 Thnx for sharing King Amazing Review 🔥🔥🔥🔥

yesss finally I've always been a pioneer fan, but had to move towards RANE but just know that i can get a travel controller with the same feel is awesome love watching your videos I learn so much from them than k you Cleveland Terry so much cant wait for the comparison with the RANE ONE an DDJ-REV7

What can I say CT really good video I enjoyed it I am now nervous because I don't know if I like this more then the ddj-1000 I am not into scratching but this might just make me think again thank you and happy new year

Great video, I can't wait for the comparison video. I've had the ddj-1000 for 5 years and I have been thinking of getting something new. This may be the one!

I literally was waiting on this video and realized I wasn't subscribed. I just watched your 1000srt and Rane 1 videos last night and now this !!💯💯

I ordered mine and cannot wait for it to get here. Finally a controller that married the best of both worlds digital job with true turntable vinyl feel..on one piece of equipment! thanks for the details on the REV 7!

Got one on the way brother..ty for the video..one love CT

Great video! Keep them coming 👌🏾

Pioneer finally did the one thing that made them a non-starter for me... spinning platters. Excellent job and nice review, CT! I'm happy that there's another option in the market, but I'm sticking with my Rane One.

GREAT BREAKDOWN AS USUAL BRO TERRY-GOD BLESS.I MAY HAVE TO GET THIS BEFORE 2022 IS OUT(PROVIDED RANE DOESNT COME OUT WITH ANOTHER RANE CONTROLLER THAT TOPS THIS)

I like the bag that you use going to check it out on amazon. Great review.

Great review! As much as I am a fan of the Rev7 I have grown too fond of the convenience my Prime2 provides. Can’t wait to see if Denon releases a stand-alone comprised of their Mseries decks and their mixer.

Great video Cleveland & I agree that this will be the controller of the year. One thing the Rane One can do that this can't is using the Skratch Attach to play real vinyl but this may be an attachment that few may be interested in. I noticed during your video too the DJ City TV logo on your Rev 7 which means Mojaxx probably tried it before you, hehe. Thanks again for the video mate. Cheers

Man to see where you started from the first video to now getting products presale to review props! You and Mojaxx are my gotos. Hope you get to keep the unit.

Another awesome review Cleveland. Very curious to see if it can be used with Virtual Dj

I really liked the poster curl up in the right corner that revealed subscribe now. Nice touch. I love the little things.

Ahhhh man. That was great. Thank you my brother.

Great job CT. This just may be the one 🔥🔥🔥

Great review mehn definitely getting this controller

LOVE IT I'M BUYING ONE THANK YOU FOR THE UP DATE ON NEW PIONEER CONTROL. D.J. 17:40 MIX 96.1. HAVE A BLESSING DAY.

Thank you for posting this I'm glad I found your channel fantastic posts! I also would like to express how badly I want one of these but I'm on a tight tight budget which I'm sure a lot of us can relate to. I'd love to know if Numark and Pioneer and Hercules are ever going to make budget friendly DJ controllers with spinning platters? Or at least with spinning lights that mimic a spinning wheel. I have high hopes that one day they will have a motorized spinning platter controller with all the bells and whistles and lights for under $300 if enough of us yell about it they will listen right? Lol thank you sir

Good to see Cleveland Terry finally getting the love from Pioneer

First I'm glad you reviewed this cause there are some djs who will remain nameless who truly need some work on youtube period. My question is how is the build quality compared to the SX or DDJ series? Is there a lot of plastic vs metal? Also have you ever done a beat juggle video? I ask because the way you explained the visual I have never had it explained to me that way. I think it would be very helpful especially to someone like me to know what to look for as well as listen for. Just thought it was great how you just gave vision to it bro. Keep up the great vids. I'm definitely a fan. D2thaC- St. Louis

geez...... just got used to my 1000srt. I have to get this when released. love the videos bro.

This is the macdaddy grandmaster of controllers. I saw djtech tips first and braced myself for the CT review!!!

Awesome Controller, Great review!! Agree Dope Dope product👊🏽

Thank you for this great review as usual your reviews are very helpful. The question is, is this controller worth the money?

Best review thanks Cleve

Imagine a standalone controller with 12 inch spinning platters. That would be the most expensive, heaviest, most professional controller ever made. If pioneer makes it, call it the Rev-Max. Or Rane...just call it the Rane Infiniti.

Thank you for this brother

I was about to go and upgrade to a ddj 1000, after watching this video, I'll be spending the extra for the Rev7 thanks for a great video.

great review!

I held off on getting the Rane One because there were to many mistakes that went into the build of that controller. I knew someone would make a competing product but I had no idea it would be Pioneer DJ. And they simply hit a home run with this controller. But I never thought they would get into the "motorized platter controller" game. Also the price is really good considering the SZ2 cost about 2 grand a few years ago.

Just want to add Cleveland from one real dj to another. I love your reviews A++++

This thing looks Awesome!!..Love it!!..I have the DDJ1000SRT and I love it as well..but this right here iz DOPE!!!..Great review!!..I gotta see it in person...Guitar Center here I come!!..Peace!

Kudos to all your reviews. I’ve seen a few reviews regarding the build quality on the platters, do you think that will be an issue? Also hoping to see your rane one comparison soon.

Awesome review as usual bro. Thank you. DDJ1000 for sale NOW!

Ran over here fr your IG post. Thanks for the review.

I'm down with this. That crazy delay is wild.

I appreciate this review one of the best so far. However, I think you should just run with idea of creating slip mats for the unit. You already have the blueprint!

Nice how do got the controller so quick, is an amazing controller period looking forward to get one, Bendiciones

Man this video is great man just like the ultimate machine u are using

Great presentation on the pioneer controller, would like to see you play on it and use some of the features that would be awesome just my suggestion does the wheels have any speed control, does the controller have any setting off your drops from computer. Does the pitch control have zero.🔉🎤📻🎷🎸🔊

I'm looking forward to the comparison video.

As always Bro, appreciate you being on top of this release! I knew Pioneer would be coming with something after the RANE One release. Question: would this be compatible with Rekordbox using Midi like some of Pioneer's SERATO controller in the past? Look forward to your response and stay well.

Amazing review man! You touched on everything I was hoping for and more!

Excellent review CT! Now that Pioneer has entered the “motorized jog-wheel” arena, do you think they’ll build a standalone deck that competes with the Rane 12?

Move over Rane One. Wow what a machine! Well done Pioneer DJ

Once excellent Cleveland!!! Your the man!

Your scratching is getting on point!

On the platters yes i agree Pionneer felt slipmatts please and i hope they will give us a range of colours for the vinyl doughnuts and stickers.I can see that long use may end up with those things getting broken when the spend time getting hot then cold then hot again so spares would be nice and a choice of colours would be nice.

Another great review by you bro! Have you tested the sound by connecting it to a sound system yet?

Great review

TERRY YOU COOL AS HELL .THAT REV7 GOING TO CHANGE THE GAME WHAT DJS NEED AM THINKING TO GET ME ONE

Greaat Review! Thanks

Thanks CT excited to see this review, finally a contender to the Rane 1. My question is how is the preamps in comparison to ddj1000srt Do you still reccomend external mixer as i have been or is it adequate on its own for direct to speaker connections.

My thoughts on the Rev7; Ever since the depletion of shure needles, most DJs/turntablists that run in my circle have adopted phase dj. This has resulted in DJs reverting their turntable setup back to regular rather than battle style so the Rev7 having pitch sliders up top is old hat. The fact that you can't turn the motors off and use the platters to nudge and bend like every other motorized controller is also a deal breaker for me as I'm not a big fan of pitch bend buttons but to each their own I guess....I also don't like that DJs who prefer to use the centre spindle to pitch bend will now have to adopt a different technique than they're already accustomed to. That being said, the features on the Rev7 definitely outweigh those on the Rane One. Two totally different beasts. Awesome review CT!! Keep doing what you do...

Knowledge is power snd you have given me a lot of it! DJ214 Atlanta

Instant scratch is a gimmick (like that controller with the built in scratch button) however the loading your own emergency song or whatever would be great

Awesome review as usually. Very informative. The Rev-7 looks more professional than the Rane one (and I own a Rane One). The Jog Wheels remind me of a modern take on the Technics DZ1200 CD Turntables (with the spinning outer ring) Concerned about sound quality/output and build quality. Damn it...I can't keep buying new gear every time something comes out 😆😂.

Dope review... Now Rane gotta step back up with an upgraded controller!!!!

Bravo pioneer....finaly GreAt video...cant wait for the vs video!!

Great walk through. Whilst with the Pioneer rep was there any hints they may add the new effects to S11 in a update any time soon?

I wish this would have come out before I decided to jump ship to Denon, I love the SC and LC players, they are sweet, at least on the hardware side of things. Then as I got into using them and playing with them, found out I only have a limited feature set when it comes to adjusting beatgrids on the players themselves, a huge let down for an otherwise awesome system of DJ hardware. I was wanting to get away from needing a laptop since no matter how nice of a machine I get, they always seem to come up short on smooth live performance (it's a gaming laptop FFS) and so I was very disappointed that I couldn't do all of my library setup on the players themselves. So now this has my eye, despite wanting to ditch the laptop. But now that I am considering trying my Denon players out as Serato accessories, this has become a very attractive option. I guess Pioneer made the right counter move with this one, it seems like a fantastic piece and shores up a lot of the shortcomings of the Rane One. Hats off to Pioneer on this one.

This looks like it can change a lot of mind's in the booth. The pitch faders are visually throwing me off, but I like it. It's nice of Pioneer to wait until after Valentine's Day to drop it.

Good stuff bro

Good shit brother.

Great content yet again CT! Any opinion on the quality of the Phone preamps?

Great info. -- really like that mod on the platters 👏👏 they seem a little cheapy... Really, really wish it was rekordbox capable being that it's a pioneer product, C'mon pioneer 👍.... also don't have alot cash to buy new gear every year SO, gonna still stick with my ddj1000 for awhile longer. Still HAPPY with it too 😁.. TAKE CARE EVERYONE ‼

Finally Pioneer answered to the Rane One. I so close to buying one. But I’m happy I didn’t, especially now Pioneer coming out with this. As for the price, I think is more than reasonable especially if you look at the Rane One. They’re pretty close together in Price and there’s so much more features on this REV7. Is this it Cleveland Terry or is there anything else Pioneer is coming out? Cause I didn’t know about the REV1 thanks to Mojaxx.
