appreciate your time mate. Nice video. i just picked this up and was lost lol this video definitely answered alot of my questions.

Best explanation of everything at the moment!!

Great review. The 8th pad on trans mode is like a closed fader and can be used with the other pads for more realistic effect.

Great honest review..thanks!...i had to ditch my ddj 400's cause they dont have a deck swap. If they would put a deck swap on the 400 it would have been perfect. I use this one now with virtual DJ and the nice part about the performance pads is that both decks are right together and dont have to move your hand to far when mixing.

I'm from Brazil and I really like your videos.

Great review! Thank you!

Was eyeing one of these in local pawnshop and needed to see hands on review, so thank you for that. For fader wobble I think hard felt pad under knob would let it slide and not wobble. Though would remove paint over time .

AWESOME Review!

I think people aren’t understanding that this is to mimic a vinyl battle dj setup, hence the cue buttons, horizontal pitch faders etc.

Being a mobile DJ for more than 20 years now, I was always kind of bummed I never really learned how to scratch on the good old Technics 1200's back in the days. Nowadays, an actual "battle" setup consisting of 2 1200's and a battle-style mixer is extremely expensive and not something I would spend my hard-earned money on. This little controller, on the other hand, is the perfect gateway into the world of scratching that I've always kind of missed out on. I think I might be getting this and finally learn the supreme discipline of DJing!

I'm definitely getting a ddj rev1

So clean all black

This is a amazing lil controller for beginners I have a OG ddj rb and a ddj 800 but I might upgrade my ddj rb to this lil guy so I don’t have to take out my 800

Naaa I'm a club dj. I had several years using the ddj wego1 controller and finally updated into the ddj 1000 and i am really happy! Realizing the real difference

Alright, this controller seems pretty cool, but I think I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the scratch bank. Specifically, how does that differ from the sampler, beyond it's effectively loading the sample onto the deck? Though I guess that makes sense so you can actually scratch on said sample.

Thank you for your video. Just picked one up. Whats the name of the cable I need to connect controller to my iPad?

I think the reason they don’t put a 1/4 inch jack is due to this controller being usb powered usually 5volts. Externally powered controllers use upwards of 12 volts. High end headphone need power to drive them, if they are connected to a usb powered controller the master output gets distorted when you open the cue volume while using a high end headphone 🙄 I experienced this on the Ddj 400, I could be wrong but just to answer your question on that topic

Do a comparison with the Hercules impulse 500

DDJ-400 HELL YEAH !!!

Really cool concept and a fresh take on a small controller. I can even see many advanced turntablists even picking this up for a fun little travel buddy and sketching tool. However, I really struggle to understand why spend the R&D money on these gimmicky automated scratches. Why?

I’m surprised pioneer didn’t make their own version of the numark mixtream pro

What do you think about the Roland dj202 compared to the impulse 500 and this new rev2?

A Cue Mix Control Knob (like the 400 has) would have been nice … ?!

I have the Pioneer SB3 got it only two weeks ago and it's having mapping problems with my windows 10 laptop. The slider control on the left and right move the opposite side which is not normal and it doesn't keep sync with the sync button. I've updated it successfully it still has issue. I'm wondering if I should return it and buy one of these rev1's? I don't play hip-hop and I don't scratch so I'm wondering how this would serve me as a house dj ? Has anyone had mapping issues with this model? Thank you for the wonderful video

I'm in 2 minds, don't know weather to buy the Numark NS4FX or the Pioneer Rev 1....?

Will Rev 1 be compatible with Djay Algoriddim?

I just got it I heard it was improvement from SB DJ

Would you say the Rev1 and SR are similar

What version of serato u need to work it?

Does this light up?

How do I load my dj drops and bombs so it works on the controller

Does the rev1 work with VDJ? Thanks

Hey buddy, how I can turn off the effects, when I play track and effects are applying. I have a show coming Saturday and worry about it. Get me back as soon as possible appreciate it. Thank you.

Does it work with serato pro??

Superb ! Next upgrade pioneer will Length pitch controller ! I bought DDJ SB pioneer launch sb2 in couple months. Price

I’ve been using ddj sr for few years and now I’d like to buy a new controller more focused on scratch…do you think this one could be good?

Please help, I am thinking to buy Rev 1, can I use stems in serato dj lite? Or should I have to upgrade to serato dj pro?

is this good for mixing techno ?

Can the crossfader be replaced? All these entry level controllers have shitty crossfaders... bet this one isn't any different...too bad.

Which serato lite version do it use

I’m using ddj200 and I was about to buy the ddj400 but this controller look good for hip hop music it is worth the struggle to change software ?

it can not samping some on file or cd ?

This or ddj-flx4?

what is the point of not letting this controller work in rekord box ;_; you can even map it out but the jogs won't work, what is the point, I want this controller but for rekord box : (

What is this effect called? 17:29

Works wit vdj8?

So for full clarification, if I have Serato pro I can use all eight hot cues?

Is it good for dnb?

I currently usee the the ddj-sz2 in a club setting but needing a smaller unit for travel and club. I have serato pro already. Would this be a good board for a club setting?

6.6 inch platters

Reviewing a scatch controller with house music 🧐🤣

How much?

You never discussed the load button at the top of controller

Did I seriously handicap myself by buying this? I plan on playing mostly house. I ordered this and I kinda feel like I should return it for the 400. Is it possible to play house effectively on this?

This controller will undersell itself. Doesn't have the edge against the introductional value the DDJ-400 offers.

Will it work on Virtual Dj?

I think the DJJ SB2 is still the best controller in this price range, cheaper and better than the rev 1. I don't like using the word beginner, as i've been on vinyl since the 70's and rocking big venues since the 80's. plus i can rock a party on any controller and rocked festivals on the sb2. Comparing the rev 1 ans sb2, I prefer the feel scratching on the sb2 and the pointless lines on the rev 1 not only don't do anything, they hinder you as I come from vinyl with stickers on. The tracking i find gimmicky. Djing should feel natural and it doesn't feel natural to scratch without holding a cross fader and can only scratch on first part of sample, useless to me. Plus scratch banks is more confusing, making track playing disappear from view and scratch sound doesn't start on cue point using scratch bank. Pitch sliders on rev 1 not as smooth as on the sb2 and where has the headphones mix knob gone!! not on the rev 1, i use it constantly on the sb2, plus having that knob to be able to midi map, to say curve etc is vital to me! on the rev 1 you would have to go into settings and use the trackpad! useless... i would use it on the fly constantly on the sb2 and what's with the mic level on the back of the controller! and doesn't say mic level on top to show where it is like on the sb2, imagine getting feedback and feeling around the back looking for the knob. Making that knob mini mappable would have been more useful. Plus Levels go into the red if trim is at 50% or more, even with all other volumes down, surely that can't be an accurate reading? Why have the trims to be able to go to 100%? I could go on and on but no headphone mix knob means i can not perform to my best with this thing like i could on the sb2. The rev 1 is going back to the shop. I would swap all the scratch gimmicks for a simple extra mappable knob. Everywhere I go now people have real expensive controllers, yet don't seem to rock a crowd like i do on the SB2. Plus sb2 is the right size to fit in a plane overhead locker, the rev 1 is a little too long to be allowed. I used the same technic turntables for 40 years and only got the sb2 as i had a few gigs lined up around the world, only reason i bought the thing but then never looked back for djing abroad plus was shocked how responsive this little sb2 was. Unfortunately now the play button and the deck freezes, needing to unplug usb cable, a few have this issue on the sb2 with the play button, plus it came out in 2015 if i remember right. I got the rev1as i thought it would be tons better in 2022 but only real advantage i find over the sb2 is having 8 hot cue pads

Is there any information on whether pioneer will update ddj400 or not?

Yeah, I’ll keep my DDJ 400 or just upgrade to its big brother the Rev 7

Software version

I use $400 headphones that come with an 1/8th male

They should’ve just improved the DDJ-400 with a new replacement controller for that

Plug in ur iPhone Djay pro DVS and ur djay library easy as 123……

I wonder if numark kicking themselves for giving up on the V7 And NS7 series??! When youre ahead...Stay ahead

Stop saying controllers are beginners level , even us older djs use these small controllers .

That pad scratch feature is so cheesy.

DDJ 400 is still the best at this price range.

so i dj on traktor with a s4 mk3 but as i’ve been getting more gigs i find it evident i need to learn serato better and get more used to it if i want to do this for work. would this be good for me? i would mainly just use it for my own practice with serato but i would more than likely be using cdjs if i’m being forced to use serato at a gig. i’m used to 4 channels and loads of effects but i get it’s not necessary. tl:dr pro traktor dj wants to know if this good for learning serato/future cdj use

I'm waiting for ddj 400 2.0 🙏

nice

Beginners who want to play at clubs or on pro gear some day should stick to the ddj-400, this Rev1 does not have a traditional cdj layout unlike the ddj-400 and its bigger brothers.

So to get the full functionality of the controller you have to have serrato pro? That is pretty stupid business decision imo.

Those jog wheels are ugly!

Waste of money might as well save and get the Rane1

The lay out is awfull!

Sorry, I don't buy the Hype. Let's wait for an HONEST review, NOT from all those big online DJ influencers who's been sent the new gear back in December. Hope marketing will not win with common sense. Absolute bottom line is that I am yet to fine a person on the dance floor who wants to listen to screatching to dance to.

It’s a garbage ! 😢

I just bought one, and I can tell you it's piece of joke, maybe it's work perfect and do his job, but the quality is a pure trash, very cheap plastic and buttons

So u mean to tell me someone that never practiced how to scratch the different arsenal of scratches can come on and all of the sudden crab?? No wonder i hear djs that can't mix worth a shit but can somehow sound ok using some advanced scratches. Kinda fucked if u ask me. Talk about shortcuts and culture dying.

Mine makes this high pitched squeal to the beat noise when the song is not EXACTLY in original tempo. Anyone have any ideas how to fix? It’s soooo bad.
