The REV1’s battle-style layout mirrors pro setups with tempo sliders placed horizontally just like turntables, giving room to scratch and mix like a DJM-S and PLX combo. The bigger jog wheels match those on models like the DDJ-SR2, so they respond with vinyl-like precision.
Creative control is elevated with lever FX paddles that latch on effects, letting hands stay on jogs or mixer. Tracking Scratch helps DJs return to cue points with directional jog movement—a unique timing assist that doesn’t interrupt flow. Four-pad modes let you drop cues, loops, scratch samples, or pull whole banks for live routines.
When it comes to performance, built-in audio handles mic input mixed into your output—stream-friendly and simple. Serato DJ Lite is included, with access to streaming services, four-deck control, and an upgrade path to Serato Pro. Compact and rugged, the REV1 is perfect for bedroom sessions, open-format gigs, or practicing scratch routines with real deck dynamics.
