Pioneer DJ DDJ-REV5 Review: Filling the Gap | Beatsource Tech
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 08. 2024
- Pioneer DJ's battle-style series of controllers kicked off with the entry-level REV1 and top-end REV7 back in 2022. But there's always been a sizeable gap between the two, and now the DDJ-REV5 has arrived to fill that hole. With mechanical CDJ-sized jog wheels, lots of stems-related features, and support for both Serato DJ Pro and rekordbox, it's set to open the REV line to a new audience of DJs. Mojaxx gives it an in-depth review on this episode of #BeatsourceTech.

Hey everyone, Mojaxx here. As I was watching the video back this morning I realised I totally missed one of my favourite features in the final edit. By holding down the Stems button on the opposite deck, you can do a version of Stems Split, so the selected stem moves across to the other deck.
This episode went through multiple versions, mainly because I was trying to not make it too long, and somehow that slipped through the cracks. I think that’s the first time I’ve ever failed to include something so important (and cool).
I might do a supplementary video, or maybe a short, to show it to you. But for now I can only apologise to you.
A supplementary video would be great, I’m sure none of your viewers would be mad at that! 😅
czcams.com/users/shortstAm5T1fcP2Q?feature=share
@@PhettaAgree!
Neat! So you can quickly grab an acapella and start scratching instantly!
No need to apologize Sir. Thank you 🙏🏼
Yooo thanks for the shout out Chris I'm flattered ☺️
Pioneer did their thing on this unit! I like the implementation of stem, scale locking, & automation features.
For battle-style DJs, Pioneer is delivered with this kit. Love all the features and such. Great review MoJaxx.
Another dope review from The Master Mojaxx. Thank you Sir!!! 🙏🏼
Ahhh, this is so tempting. I was a bit put off by the REV1 and REV7 since I primarily use RB, but the price point and features for the REV5 seem super alluring. Thanks for the review!
The only review to answer the split cue question. Mojaxx for the win.
Only took me an hour and a half of video watching to get the question answered.
King of dj gear reviews…… well reviewed as always
Kudos to Pioneer Dj, definitely have to cope one of these because of the amazing features.
Thanks for the review!
I don’t see the purpose of the REV console series except for the REV7, that is an amazing controller and is a real alternative to the scratch Djs that don’t want to carry turntables but want the same feeling. I have it for several months and I can’t do without it anymore. First I thought the REV was a series of “turntablist oriented” consoles but technically its not like that, since the REV1 and the REV5 can do the same stuff that the other respectively budget and mid/high pioneer controllers can do, (except for the stems feature, maybe) if I’m a scratch Dj I would not but them, maybe for (slightly) the same amount of money of the REV5 I would buy a rane one. But if I’m more a “mixing” Dj I would go with other kind of consoles from pioneer, because in this case REV5s layout would be a little awkward (the pitch sliders position for example). It would be interesting if pioneer released the REV5 as a budget version of the REV7, halfway between a Rane One and the Hercules, motorized platters with no displays on the jog wheels, no built in fx, to lower the price, but I guess at least for now we will not see it.
Best review ever
Keep up the good work, Mojaxx.
This Rev5 is dope, it's exactly what I need, I get extremely creative with this. I look forward to when it comes out. Salute to Pioneer
Anybody want my Rev 1 good price? Looks like i am upgrading great review. Pioneer just destroying rivals
.
I love it. Well done Pioneer Dj, keep up the good work, blessed
Holy snap !! Mojaxx !! Looking great !! Bro !! What u doing !!! Keep it up !!!
Interesting product. Dope review as always
Thanks man. This is a great price for this. Might be a “sell out” kit for the winter for pioneer dj. I hope they have one at the Expo tomorrow
I am efinitely looking to upgrade from the Rev1 for my smaller rig, This looks perfect.
OOOF If they just used the same jogs as the FLX-10 this would have been a no brainer for me! here's to hoping they make a REV-10 with better jogs, cue buttons and stems control!
I understand not wanting to put their full suite of effects into lower tier devices, but like 4-6 basic ones would be refreshing. Especially on mid tier devices like this. This goes for other manufacturers and not just pioneer.
Great in depth video, would love to see a battle on the STEM mixers Rev5 v FLX10. On a controller, those are the two I’m trying to decide between.
Mojaxx you look great man! Don’t know what you’re doing to lose weight, but I’m inspired to work on my fitness 💯💪🏽
I’ve mentioned this elsewhere, but this is the controller we all wanted when they came out with the 1000 (which I own and enjoy). It mirrors the setup I keep at home with my decks, but after using the 1000 (and maybe being left handed) I’ve grown to prefer the play/cue buttons on the left with the pitch faders club style to the right of the jogs. If my 1000 was up for retirement this would be the new controller for me but I’m hoping in a few years they make a unit setup like cdj’s but with the mixer battle style. Just my two cents.
Good stuff MJ
Always great reviews! If only the rev7 had the ability to control 4 decks. 4 decks, motorized battle style. That’s what I want to see.
thank you Mojaxx, I didnt know this was real, but this was amazing, that auto bpm sync is amazing, I use to bring the track I was transitioning to, to the bpm of track playing, then sync them, and move the tempo fader, I hope I can figure out how sync will work with it
Great review thx. Now to decide Rev7 or Rev5 :D
If Pioneer could allow us to store presets for the Auto BPM Transition feature, then we're really starting to get somewhere when it comes to useful applications for Radio DJs, mobile DJs, commercial bar/club DJs.
Really cool!
I love my REV7, so the REV5 looks like a legit piece of kit. Kinda jealous of some of the hardware Stems functions that are not on the REV7, so hopefully some of them + other features could make it there via firmware update. But as a DJ who started on turntables, as well as having been a user of the DJM-S9, the attraction of the REV7 that combines both was too good to pass up. I think the REV5 is gonna sell well and will be very pleasing for open-format DJs at a not-too-shabby price point. Thanks for the great review, as ever!
I thought this was a very good review. Well done Mojax
That Auto BPM Transition is an asbolutely incredible feature. Very very clever.
How does that function work?
Love the flexibility on the power supply.
Great review as always, Thanks. The battle Style is not for me If I was looking for a dream controller it would be a flex10 with an s11 mixer section.
That would be real nice
Take my money with that S11 / FLX10 controller!
I still love my DDJ REV1 it gets the job done so good and also cheaper !
Thanks @Mojaxx! Do we think Pioneer will make the Rev 7 Rekordbox enabled in future?
BPM transition is absolutely fire 🔥🔥🔥
How does that bpm function work?
Amazing as always dude!! Quick question and sorry if it’s already been asked - does the piano mode and the auto transition work in Rekordbox too or is that just a new exclusive Rev5 Serato feature? Also do we know if the Rev7 will get Rekordbox support now?
Great review !!! Thank you. Is it equally effective for both rekordbox and serato? Or is it skewed towards one?
This is closer to what I want if one can disable the crossfader and use it to control the video side only ( like one is able to on dedicated 4 channel fader 🎚️ mixers ).
If Rane redoes the four with the extra button would be ideal
Great review as always. How do you think the sound quality compares with the Rev7? For me, the Rev7 sound quality is inferior to other models like XZ, Opus, etc
Bought it out of curiosity to play with Serato stems since Rekordbox still sounds too robotic. Only thing I miss from the DDJ-1000 are the jog wheel displays. Didn’t realize how much I used them for seeing my cues and BPMs. Regardless I like how well the Rev5 works with both softwares.
Thanks for the review. Do you think we will see any more support for Traktor from Pioneer now they own Serato?
What a surprise, but a good one! Thanks Mojaxx.
The gap between the One and the Seven was just too big. Now it makes much more sense.
I stick with my Denon All-In-One systems, though :-)
Hi Mojaxx love the video, I want to another usb-c for my second computer is there a specific type I need or any usb-c to usb-c will do
Love it, no built in FX??
nice review... but save up a little more and grab the Daddy (Rev 7) .. even just for that Magvel Pro fader and tension adjustment... oh and spinning platters too :)
I wonder if you can hook the usb-c to you phone, tablet or ipad for direct sound connection that will make youbsound clear while djing live on til tok or twitch thus eliminating the need for an irig or a usb mixer???
Definitely suits my style, I’m gonna pick one of these up. My only worry is the stems are gonna crush my cpu
@Mojaxx Are the mics similar to the DDJ800? I could never get the attenuators set right on that. Mics were either too thin or over modulated. I had a hard time finding a happy medium. I hope they're improved on this unit.
$1000 but has crappy in jog display?
The colour scheme is also not that good in my opinion, shiny piano black should cover this up at least
Great review as always by DJCity and Mojaxx
About how many watts will power the unit when using a separate power brick
Just a question: Pioneer want deliver as many REV as the number list on Arithmetic Tables?
Mo jaxx great job as always but ill think I'll pass on this one I would just save and get the rev 7 or the flx10....I think the unit most of us are waiting for is the xz2 I just hope pioneer go's with a diffrent layout
Ngl especially w the release of there recent decks I kinda wish pioneer would do a separated cdj style controller. Bit like Denon done. Wanna be able to put my technics beside the mixer and have the static platters either side. I guess the obvious answer is to either use there spinning controller or an S series mixer but still would be nice
I am a TRAKTOR user and I’m hoping this controller is mappable. If so, I’ll be getting one for mobile gigs! -DJ EATON
At 13:40 in the video you have what look like lighting presets below the waveforms. Is this Soundswitch integration?
Pioneer 📢🎤🎙noted the company makes OUTSTANDING CONTROLLERS 👑
But when are the all in one units that are WiFi capable, can operate without a laptop, and can also use internal or external drives ? The Pioneer Xdj series are great but not the best. I have known and have had Pioneer products since the early 1980's so I can add my opinion. I own and have used Pioneer, Roland, Numark, Rane and Denon. It is a matter of choice true, but no way will I pay for the Rev series. But if Pioneer can match or surpass the Denon Dj SC or Denon Dj Prime series, I may spend the money.
I will say the Rev 5 is great for anyone coming into the world of dj'ing or a seasoned pro who just wants to add to their collection.
DJ MoJaxx 🎉 another solid review 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Can you use a I pad with a type c cord into one of the two imputs in the back as a backup device option. So my computer is in one line, and an I pad into the other line. I like this controller, but i heard of sound issues during use. Is this a current poblem. Thanks Mojax!!!
I hope it's compatible with Agoriddim DJay Pro I've been wanting something like this with static jog wheels for about a year now 🔥
To be more specific, I hope that this is USB compliant and works with algoriddim DJ. This way I can use my iPad Pro and take my eyes off the mixon 8 pro
I have a challenge for you sir. This controller is a budget friendly version of my own set up: XDJ 1000mk2's paired with a DJM S7...of course my set up is RB only in HID mode is were the DJM s7 Shines. I challenge you to compare these two set ups. I had to manually map my Stems features of course, and have all the additional input/output options and limited Stand alone functionality but I know YOU appreciate the XDJ 1000mk2 media players which...lets face it...have been long forgotten by most. Could you do a set up comparison? I would love to hear your take on which would win out, today, my set up would cost 3 times the REV 5. Thanks man!
@djcitytv, how is the sound quality compared to the Rev7?
I use my own s11 and the clubs cdjs but would love pioneer to make that into 1 unit. I really don’t like the pitch position on these battle style controllers.
Since I’ve had the Rev 7 i can’t stand mechanical jogs. Wish they would of used capacitive jogs like the R1. Hercules T7 sounds more the option for me. 🤷🏻♂️
Can you use a i pad on the auxiliary outlet. I need it as a emergency backup or tracks not in my library. I want to be able to listen and que up the auxiliary outlet, is this possible. Looking for a new controller instead of buying a 1000srt for Serato. Thank you
Does it come with Serato Dj Pro licence?
This will be the deal maker or breaker.
I think the The Rev 5 has put a massive stop to the Hype of the Hercules Inpulse t7. Just based on better crossfader. I was looking at the t7 and going eventually upgrade the crossfader, but I reckon that make them around the same price. However the inputs and outputs are better on the Pioneer.
Innofader said they will be releasing a board for the T7 that upgrades all three of the crossfaders and makes them adjustable for $150. That still makes it cheaper than the rev5.
@@themainman3900 ok cool. Thanks for that. Which unit do you think is the better out of the 2?
@@rapwithzorro I’m just a hobbyist so take my opinion with a grain of salt, but I think the T7 is the better deal of the two on paper. I like the spinning platters of the T7 but the layout of the Rev5 more (a lot more actually). But the fact that the Rev5 can’t operate as a standalone mixer and is still $1100 is pretty baffling. Even if that meant it would cost $100 more to include that functionality I think it would have been a worth it and I would have put it ahead of the T7. That being said since neither are out yet I wonder about durability for both but especially for the T7 since its platters are belt driven.
@@themainman3900 To be honest I'm still not sure which one I'm going for as I already have a set up of two technics with Phase and a Reloop Elite mixer. However They use to stay in situ at home and I'd gig on a Numark NS7II. The Numark is dead so I need another all in one unit. I've taken the Primary set out a couple times, but it's just hassle moving them and setting up at gigs.
I wonder what happened to the ddj flex10
Does it work with the Rekordbox mobile app?
There is actually a GR2 coming out in October circa £1700
How to quit Stem EQ function to go back EQ function
Damn bro you lost weight! Lookin good!
Similar to 2000’s or 3000 platters? Anyone know 🤔
I would like to see a controller with a cdj 3000 lay out I like the opus but the layout was weird
I just wished that they would have put the cdj 3000 jog wheels on this controller that shit would have been dope as hell them jog wheels are the shit feel like you touching a real record!
What is the sound quality of REV5 - same as in REV 7?
I don’t understand the cheap jog display it looks identical to the FLX6. And a bright white indicator would of been better than the Red imo. Maybe firmware update will be addressed cause the jog display is so plain as it is.

Anybody have this yet? Mine came in last Friday. The jog wheels feel "wobbly" to me. Anybody else feel like that? Or I got a bad one
Does look nice though but for some of us on a budget will stick with the Hercules T7
Its only for scratching?
So a REV10 is cooming soon. ;)
I knew it!!!!
Props to Mojaxx for losing mad weight!
I use a REV-7, and it's still my favourite controller ever. I now use it with Virtual DJ, mainly because of the superior stem separation, and it's a phenomenal unit. Unfortunatly, without hardware FX, I'm struggling to see how the REV-5 justifies it's price tag. It's like an upgraded SX, but only 2 channels. If it were a couple of hundred pound cheaper, I'd get it, but as it is, I don't.
I'm a rev7 user also. I thought about VDJ but we're lying to ourselves thinking its stems are superior to serato. It's just not.
@@aj6761 I don't believe you've ever compared them side by side. Most people will agree that VDJs stems 2.0 is well ahead of the competition.
Can you use a drum machine with this ?
I do not like how the rev 5 and flx 6 can't act as stand alone mixers. I hope Pioneer does not replace the SR2 and DDJ 800 with these. I like that I can run my home set up through my SR2 (even though I need external phono pre amps) and I can take it out to gig with as well.
Yes, but Serato DJ Fx from 2011...
For this controller to have NO motorized decks, it costs way too much. The Hercules Inpulse T7 is $700. I would go with that.
Once you price in the fader upgrades that mojaxx mentioned that don’t exist yet it’s 900 vs 1100 at that point you are saving 200 for completely off brand controller with neither a serato unlock or rekordbox unlock but yeah motorised jogs
nearly a grand in uk money and no line or phono inputs?
Do any standalone have those mechanical CDJ-sized jog wheels?
Only the xz
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Stem EQ? Wtf? I need that for my S7 asap!
manual loop on shift is a deal breaker for me always. i dont know why pioneer do this
Why pioneer put those lil phone charging ports on the controller that can be easily bent or broken
Because all companies are switching to USB-C
👏👏👏👏 very good question!
@@iamdjcertified2 No. So far, only Pioneer stuffs these flimsy USB-C sockets into their products. Absolutely unsuitable!
USB-B 3.x sockets are massive and much more resistant to breakage.
Don't confuse the type of socket with a USB interface. A USB-B 3.1 socket has the same transfer rate as a USB-C 3.1 .
No standalone mixer or effects!?! That’s a shame. No stem fx either.
I feel like there’s too much missing to justify the price.
USB C is a no go - those ports are flimsy compared to robust industry standard B style and it's going to fail hard on mobile users.
I,ma stick with my Rev 7 it’s cool tho but it seem thrown together also had it had stand alone then that would change the game u can’t come out with Rev 7 then down grade it like coming out with a 2023 Mercedes then next year come out with a 2022
Dvs would have been nice
Bro losing weight yeah? I see you! 😎👊🏻 Hope it's a healthy weight loss!
All I got from this review is pioneer can make every mixer & controller a 4 deck mixer so put it on the s7 the rev 7 it’s not hardware it’s software
How can this controller have a full pitch control range together with full CDJ sized wheels and Magvel Faders, yet the regular DDJ/FLX controllers have those same features at twice the price?! Pioneer intentionally hinder their DDJ/FLX line of gear to make you pay more for the same features. Or how about them discontinuing the DDJ-800/FLX-8 line due to it being too good for it's price? No wonder Denon has started eating your market share. I would be amazed if you don't get replaced as the standard club gear in 2 years if you keep this shit up.
