Try an interface designed to emulate 2 PLX turntables and a DJM-S series mixer, which is the type of setup used by professional battle DJs. There's plenty of room for mixing and scratching techniques thanks to the new control layout on the DDJ-REV1. The tempo sliders are 60mm – longer than those on the DDJ-SB3 to give you finer control – and sit horizontally above the decks, while the Performance Pads have been moved to the mixer section so that You can intuitively combine effects, trigger samples and scratch your tracks.

Add texture to music dynamically with Lever FX. Pull the levers down and hold to apply Serato DJ Lite effects in short bursts, or push them up to lock the effects and free your hands for scratching or navigating tracks.

For the first time on a Pioneer DJ controller of this level, the master audio output can be mixed with the sound of a microphone (if one is connected). This means you don't need any external equipment, such as a sound card or standalone mixer, if you want to add vocals to your performance and send it to your computer. All sounds are sent to Serato DJ Lite so you can stream from there.
