Pioneer DJ DDJ-REV7 COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW - The KING OF CONTROLLERS. PERIOD. 

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

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 😂

Excellent review, thanks CT!

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

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!

Great review Cleveland!!! Very thorough. Thanks.

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.

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.

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

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

Very professional review . I learned a lot ! thank you

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.

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

I love your reviews always on point and detailed.

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

Amazing review! Thanks for yet another killer video!

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

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

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 🔥🔥🔥🔥

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!

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

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

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

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

Great video! Keep them coming 👌🏾

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

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!

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)

"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

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.

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.

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 !!💯💯

Thank you for this brother

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

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

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

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.

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

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 review mehn definitely getting this controller

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!

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

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.

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

great review!

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

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

Best review thanks Cleve

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

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

Once excellent Cleveland!!! Your the man!

Good to see Cleveland Terry finally getting the love from Pioneer

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

Greaat Review! Thanks

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

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

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.

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

I'm looking forward to the comparison video.

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

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

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.

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 ‼

thank you bro

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!

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.

Love it !!! Want it !!!

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

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

I'm here for it

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.

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

Great video.

Eloquent review! 👍👍👊👊🙂

Sold !!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 no latency Scratching

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

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.

This is a great controller - exactly what I've been looking for BUT would prefer it with Rekordbox support as well! I realize that most scratch turntablists are on Serato but given that Pioneer is targeting this to the open format guys and mobile DJs, Mobile DJs use all of the software apps - Rekordbox, Serato, VirtualDJ.

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...

Your scratching is getting on point!

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

looking for a S9 and plx1000 controller this is it ! im glad they made a portable version ! not bad !

I’m excited.

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

Good stuff bro

Fill out effect is DOPE

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

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.

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.🔉🎤📻🎷🎸🔊
