Status, October 2026: current. Pioneer DJ still lists it among its DJ controllers.
What it is
The DDJ-REV1 is a two-channel DJ controller for Serato DJ Lite from Pioneer DJ, announced on 13 January 2022 (Pioneer DJ product page). It belongs to the DDJ-REV series, alongside the DDJ-REV7, whose layouts copy a DJM-S battle mixer set between two PLX turntables. A limited DDJ-REV1-N edition was sold in parts of Asia Pacific and the Americas.
To match that setup, the 60 mm tempo sliders run horizontally above each deck, and the Performance Pads and Lever FX paddles sit in the mixer section, where they are on DJM-S mixers. The jog wheels are 154 mm across, the same size as on the DDJ-SR2. The pads have four modes: Hot Cue, Auto Loop, Sampler and Tracking Scratch, which returns the track to the cue point when the jog moves forward again or the hand lifts off. Scratch Bank loads samples from four banks, and Deck 3/4 control reaches all four software decks.
Connecting it unlocks Serato DJ Lite for free. Serato DJ Pro is supported but its licence is sold separately, and VirtualDJ and djay Pro need their own paid licences. It is USB class compliant, so no audio driver is needed, and it draws its power from the computer over USB-B; it has to connect directly, not through a USB hub.
Outputs are one RCA master and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. A 1/4" TS mic input takes unbalanced signals only, and its sound is mixed into the master and sent to the computer for streaming.
It measures 526 x 255.5 x 59.2 mm and weighs 2.1 kg. The box holds a USB cable, the quick start guide and the safety papers.
