Scratch-style controller for Serato DJ Lite
Learn open-format mixing with battle-style controls
The DDJ-REV1 arranges its controls to resemble two PLX turntables and a DJM-S mixer, giving you room to practise scratching and open-format transitions. A USB cable connects it to a compatible computer running Serato DJ Lite. Use Lever FX for quick effect bursts, Scratch Bank for assigned samples and Tracking Scratch to return music to a cue point during scratch practice.
Battle-layout controls
The control layout takes cues from PLX turntables and DJM-S mixers, with horizontal tempo sliders and pads in the mixer section.
Practice scratching with more room
154 mm jog wheels give you space for cueing, nudging and scratch practice.
Use Lever FX and Scratch Bank
Trigger effect bursts and load assigned scratch samples from the dedicated Scratch Bank controls in Serato.
