Dude, you are a f*cken beast!!! I watched 3 other videos on this rev 7 controller, and none even came close to how informative and just answering and addressing every question and curiosity anybody would have before deciding to purchase, YOU SOLD ME BROTHA!!! Pioneer should definitely be giving you a cut!! Thanks again my brotha

Fantastic review! I'm a big fan of the hardware/software effects you love as well. As an old school turntablist who prefers DVS, I was strongly considering picking up a RANE ONE this year, but now that this monster has dropped, I may have to cop the DDJ-REV7 instead. Thanks, Mojaxx!

Im a NS7 user since day 1 at 2009. At the beginning all my dj friends laugh because I was not Pioneer… I just loved the NS7. From small gigs to EDC I don’t care I just loved the Ns7. Well guess what? Pioneer just made a “NS7” and its 2022. 🤣 Funny how pioneer has been adopting NS7 tech… from 8 pads to motorize turntables.

This was a great review, as usual. I ordered it in late January, and was informed that I should get mine later this week. Me and my DJ crew have been using the S9 mixer for several years, so having the REV7 will really feel like I’m right at home and then some. I can’t wait!

Excellent job by Pioneer! They did the one thing that made Pioneer a non-starter for me... spinning platters. The screens in center of platters is a neat implementation. I can see some who may opt for this for the hardware effects, but it's not much of a big deal for me... personally. I'll be sticking with my Rane One, but I wouldn't mind getting behind this unit from time-to-time.

Nice unit, but I have Numark (NS7's) and when I was looking for a new controller I went with the Denon Prime 4 because it's a true standalone and I no longer have to depend on a laptop or Serarto. I've learned to appreciate the freedom of carrying less and doing more. Very good review as always.

Great review. This is a GAMECHANGER !!! Granted Technics, Denon, and Numark made moving platters over the past 30 years. But one with displays in the platter AWESOME. I'm big on 4 deck mixing, Pioneer ddj1000's and the Denon Prime 4 , but as with the Numark NS7 that love of turntablism on a controller is a throwback to the 1200 days from the 1980's. The design is incredible that Magvel fader 🥋, the only thing missing is the cue for the sampler like on the ddj 1000's but that is not a big issue. I made a spot in my lab for this and I will be mixing, scratching, and blending with time left only for eating, and work. Str8 Zombie DJ Style !!!

Mojaxx, I'm not necessarily a fan of controllers, but this one got my attention. I'm glad it was reviewed by someone objective who has a background on previous setups like CDJs that used CDs and analogue turntables. The price is rather steep, but I would still consider it. Your equipment reviews are always legit, thank you very much! Love from Nairobi! #DjShockAfrica
@dj4monie 2 жыл бұрын
I learned on 1200's. I used controllers but these are different and that physical touch that I have always wanted is there with modern effects. I like the Rane as it's already been mapped for VDJ which is what I use. I am sure the Pioneer will be soon. Either one works for me.

With reverse/sensor in serato, you need to set a cue point, as when you go into reverse mode the track continues when you are reversing, so when you finish a reverse blend, hit the cue point to where you want to jump to, or you'll end up anywhere

👍🏽thumbs up for mentioning the technics DZ 1200. I’ve commented on others platform because they kept mentioning how innovating pioneer was. I loved the technics because the motor they used was the same thing they used in the there cdj’s. But back to pioneer. I think the Rev 7 def looks dope but Im a stickler for built quality. Im interested to see what Rane comes out with. Def like there built quality better. Some one compared the sound quality from the Rev 7 against the Rane 1 and there was def a difference as we know pioneer’s pre amps aren’t the best. But the Rev 7 by far is the best sounding equipment they put out.

Thank you for having a review up so quick 🙌🏿. This unit looks good! The price is the only thing against it. I def use the censor for live censoring but usually only on older 90’s hip hop songs that aren’t marked dirty or clean. If I’m not sure of the song or once I hear one curse word my finger is hovering over it and I’m reading lyrics on my phone 😂

To answer a brief question in this vid regarding the loop slicer mode: I use them on my Denon standalone players. However, in this video you had a standard house percussion loop going, which does not create very interesting results. I mostly use this for vocal loops or other melodic content… taking a set phrase and instantly mimicking the process of loading a sample into maschine, entering slice mode, and then triggering/flipping the sample in a mangled/new way. It can be useful, but I imagine for lots of people it isn’t necessary/valuable. Thanks for the great video!

Great review Mojaxx, fair and balanced as ever. As much as I think it's a superb product, I'm surprised how much it's locked into a competitor's software and can only summise that eventually (or maybe already!), Pio has taken a substantial stake in Serato. That's the only reason I can guess they've made something that doesn't accomodate their own software.

I feel that your content is honest and unbiased. I love the features and the specs look impressive, but the platter itself has me somewhat skeptical. I'm sure it will work fine and can be fine-tuned with a little tweaking, but I'm concerned about the durability of the plastic notches that connect with the motor underneath. Looks like they could snap off with little effort. Die-cast aluminum has always been my comfort zone for any spinning platters. Everything else looks REVolutionary. Just the same... I hope Rane answers this challenge! Great review
@northwestaudio 2 жыл бұрын
So our company sold our Rane One this week and got on the list for the REV 7. It was after a lot of deliberation on features and ease of use. Coming from a strong Pioneer background we figured this was the right move, and obviously an upgrade. I have used the censor / reverse button at school dances if i know the track is filthy.. sometimes I even do it with clean versions.

Great review! I was tempted with the Rane 12's but as there's no dedicated pitch bend buttons (I wasn't feeling the hold 33 + 45 for a pitch up) so I went for the Denon SC6000M's which have awesome functionality but not very good sound quality IMO. I've just ordered the Rev7 so I hope the sound quality will be on point compared to the metallic sounding SC-6000M's which have digital artifacts when performing a Technics stop or slow scratching.
