I just got my Rev 5 yesterday. Man...coming from an DDJ-SB3, it's kinda overwhelming. Thanks for having this video. I'm going to be watching this video a couple times. Thanks for a very comprehensive explanation of features.
The auto transition with advanced controls really pushes us towards the era of both being able to do really flexible creative open format stuff while simultaneously showing how close we are to being obsolete lol. It's a little bittersweet.
The first drum computer created a huge controversy. Drum computers have perfect rhythm and are superior to humans in every way, right? Soon all drummers will be replaced by computers! Haha obviously NOT! I still enjoy listening to live bands.
@@robertschnobert9090live bands still exist of course, but the vast majority of published music today is sampled and synthetic drums. Think about all the hip hop, pop, and dance music music eclipsing music with a live drummer. I would surmise that 95% of drums today in music were not actually recorded live.
@@Positive_Tea yeah, I prefer electronic music with samples. But the point is that drums still exist and I think drums are awesome! Change is inevitable. Folk songs were displaced by chamber music. Chamber music was displaced by radio DJs. Radio DJs were displaced by hifi systems and records. Records were replaced by tapes and eventually CDs. The list goes on and on and on, but you can still sing folk songs or listen to radio if you want. The old stuff is still alive, it's just not as popular anymore and that's okay. 🌈
I just bought this and love it, went from 1200s to this and am going to embrace the technology. My main reason for buying is auto BPM and stems. Makes life so much more easier .
Pioneer just: redid their entire line of controllers, bought Serato and created a crazy new turntable. A lot of people talk negatively about Pioneer, especially in regards to price but some of those new controllers are entry level and are bringing new features to that part of the market.
Personally this is an awesome price and if you notice of late pioneer actually has been coming in cheaper than the competition for the first time... Check the FLX10 and Rane Four
Stems is a game changer on a piece of kit like this oh and Phil you may need to update your book with what’s happening out there mind you the DJ equipment scene is moving so quick it’s a job to keep up with it
Seriously think the Rev7 needs a refresh or mk2 very soon now with a rework Rekordbox, Stems, dual layers and the some of the other things this unit has introduced. I would defo pick one up, i seriously want moving platters and Paddle effects unit for Rekordbox. Really great in depth Review as well Phil, well done :)
I really like the automatic tempo transitions! I can see myself using those, particularly when making small jumps between songs or when transitioning during non-repetitive moments in both tracks. Remember that no matter how cool a killer feature on a controller is, perceptive members of the crowd will know when you're overusing it. Sometimes it's not the right fit. :D
This has quite a few additional controls over the FLX10. My FLX10 is about a month away from arrival, and this now has me thinking if as a multiformat DJ I might be better off with the Rev 5. I like the flexibility of playing both with Rekordbox and Serato on the FLX10, and having additional faders for channel 3 and 4. But as a keyboardist, that Piano Play and extra stems buttons on the Rev 5 looks amazing!
@digitaldjtips totally agree. As a mainly serato user I'm getting the Rev 5 but still glad that most of the layout is still decent with rekordbox. While the FLX 10 just seems to include serato but is 100% for rekordbox
Pioneer for sure has sent NI over the cliff in the DJ market. I've been loyal to Traktor for MANY YEARS but its gear like this that's going to make me transition back to Serato because NI just wont get off their ass and make something new and exciting like this! Anyway, another great vid, Phil, I've watched ur vid FOUR TIMES just to see how you ROCKED the demo of the auto beat transition. None of the other reviewers have rocked using it like you have! Again, great info brother! 👏🏿

I was planning on the REV7, but the Rev5 features and weight has me sold. Wanting the Rev7 became lukewarm after Serato released stems. I'm sure the Rev7 MKII will have more even more features.
Oh that automation feature is cool. And a great explanation of all the possibilities, I missed that by others previewing it. One thing no-one addressed is how Rekordbox would handle the stems buttons with melody and bass as it only has "Instruments", combining Melody & bass. If they would improve Rekordbox to also have 4 track stems separated I wonder how they would implement that on the DDJ-FLX10 with only 3 buttons.
Thanks for a well balanced review Phil. I suspect this will be a very well selling the controller. In my mind any great product solves a problem for the user. The Auto Bpm transition opens so many doors in terms of what you can play next. You need 8 pairs of hands to do what that does. I am a house / techno DJ who uses Traktor and this has really got my attention.
I love using Traktor also but damn it, NI has left us hanging for soooo loong, they're not doing anything exciting any more. Ur right, this unit has my attention so much that I've watched EVERY video on it since it came out!
Love the review I wanna pre-order me a Rev-5 but I have one special request that jam from Tico In the Rain ☔️ I can’t find it anywhere at least here in the US n I’m a member of most DJ Record 📀pools, it’s an instant classic…🎙️🎧🎤💯📻🙏🏼💤🎼👍🏻love all your videos 🎧💯😎🎙️🎤😀📲🚉📻👍🏻
Awesome review 👌🏿👌🏿 Quick question, What would you recommend for a producer, DJ between Rev5 & Grv6? I currently have the ddj 800 & Hercules T7. I’m more into live remixing and mashups. I was looking to trade in the 2 controllers for either the Rev 5 or the Grv6. I’d like to know your opinion
I currently own the DDJ-1000-SRT. I really like this (especially the mixer section) but the fact that there’s no on board effects is a deal breaker for me 😢. I need the ability to add a slight echo tail on the mic so it doesn’t sound flat
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.
Nope, nothing and I mean nothing is touching the Hercules T7. While the rev5 is dope and may have slightly better input options, there is no comparison. Tried the T7 for myself at Expo, and it is 🔥 Not to mention the T7 is close to half the price of the rev5
Hi Phil, thank you for the great review (as always) but Pioneerd DJ normally comes with 3 new products on a row. What can we expect next week ??? The XDJ-XZ2 ???
I really like it! Especially for open format djing. Could get really creative. Just a couple questions.... How is the build, does it feel plasticy or robust? Can you change the information on the platters screen so you can see the full waveform or see the art work and relapse time and remaining? How much does it cost and when will it be on the market?
I own a Rev1 but thinking of buying a FLX10 or this new controller. Can you make a size comparison of the Rev5 & Rev1 and the difference between the Rev5 and FLX10
My country has limited stock or places you can buy pioneer gear... would be nice to have a visualised difference, nobody seems to have these size comparisons... us big hand people actually consider the size when buying things.
I wished you showed how the output would sound if you pressed 2 pads at the same time while in piano play mode. Just need to confirm that chords can be played.
Amazing run down!! I can't seem to find this though: Is there a way to keep the EQ knobs set to control Stems, or would you need to switch the EQ knobs to Stems mode for every new song that is loaded up? Cheers!
Nice new piece of kit. Pioneer really are taking over the planet… Love for them to include a feature where you could used stems to mute certain humans beings! 😂
Coming soon !!! DDJ REV 6 - Connects to chatgp wirelessly, so AI can select the tunes for you, and mix them too, all you have to do is look pretty and chat shyte on the mic !!!
Definitely do not "upgrade" to the FLX6, it is an entry level controller in a big box so would not really represent an upgrade. The REV5 is a much better bet.
Hi, I am a big fan of watching dj's perform their sets. James Hype one of my most favorite keeps breaking mixers. Can you explain how he does it? He cliames somthing about BPM drops. I would love to know how he does that and why the Pioneer mixer he uses does not support his range. Thank you
This is like a flx6 but of course an upgraded version of rev7 but cheaper quality. Probably they will make a ddj rev9 of 4 channels and premium. They always do that so i will wait for that and meanwhile use my rane four until pioneer gets it right
5:52 I have a question here: When you turn off the sync button for breaking down the transition on a BPM Level you choose manual, you have to hit the Play button at the right time, isn't it? Because at this point there is no sync.
i think my rev 5 is defective when i play on it for around 2 hours it starts to make a screeching noise and goes in and out and when i just let the audio play it just keeps screeching. it only happens when i play for around 2 hours and i’ve used it 3 times since i got it
Kind of a stupid question but I’m trying to think ahead here haha. Is the rev5 the same size as the rev7, specifically would it fit in a rev7 flight case for example, or should I wait for a rev5 specific case to come out? Thanks!
So glad Pioneer is finally paying more attention to STEMS. Maybe the whole Pioneer community is finally realizing that STEMS can take your set to 10X levels. Just very concerned about all the negative posts . . . and there were many . . . that was all over social media regarding so many quality defects on the Opus Quad. Not the topic of discussion here, I know, but still concerning for such a high end "designer" looking controller. Could Pioneer perhaps give any feedback regarding this? Surely they must have recieved the complaints? This is NOT GOOD for Pioneer....just saying. Still love the brand. 🤜🏻💥🤛🏻
Question. How can I map or change the dedicated stem button to echo vocal out like it does when you use the performance pads. Pretty silly if this can NOT be done. Also I can not stand that you have to double tap above performance pad to activate stems on said performance pads. You guys know that you can NOT see those performance pad colors in the sun light, so I am missing cues points and mixes having to look to see if stems is active!!!
How can the echo out be applied to the dedicated stems buttons? I can only get it to echo in pad mode. They took away being able to use slicer as stems & now you gotta shift and press the pad. Thus slows me down, especially since I juggle (quick mix) alot of songs
Digital DJ TIPS HELLO, please tell me the difference between the sound quality of rev 5 and rev7, it's a lot, little, or it's not noticeable, Thank you
I have been using the DDJ400 with rekordbox, to use the piano and other effects and STEMS do I need to change to serrato or are the all available with Rekordbox. And if yoiu have a link I can get some good samplers I would be thankful. I dont have any.
Thankyou for that, do you mean to use the piano mode you need to use serato. Because the controller is actually made to be useable with both serato and Rekordbox.
@@digitaldjtips Thanks.I bought the controller but it doesen't work on my Macbook Pro mid 2012. I can't install any driver (on Pioneer website I found a driver but I can't install it). Can you help me? Thanks
Can this unit charge my laptop from the usb-c connector? Or can my laptop power this unit just like the DDJ-SR2 without having it plugged into a wall socket?
This may Not be the right place to ask but is anyone else having sound distortion issues with the Rev5? after dj like 3hrs the sound gets screechy and distorted. I dont have this issue on any other device.
This is by far the best, in-depth review of the Rev5.
Thank you!

This looks like the best controller on the market. I want to know how the build quality is compared to Rev 7 and other controllers in the same range.
Kind of “mid table” build quality, better than entry level but not quite REV7.
I see they have improved upon the Smart Fader from something like the DDJ-FLX4, both are very interesting features
Yes, they are!

It is indeed a great controller

Isn't that the "smart fade" feature from the flx 4? :) I just bought your book, and it's very helpful! Thank you so much!
Yes, similar. Thank you!
I currently own the DDJ-1000-SRT. I really like this (especially the mixer section) but the fact that there’s no on board effects is a deal breaker for me 😢. I need the ability to add a slight echo tail on the mic so it doesn’t sound flat
I use an external mixer to get great mic effects
Thank you! It arrived today!
And i have the rev7 also.
But im selling it now. 🙂
Why did you decide to switch from REV7 to REV5?
@@digitaldjtips for the cdj style platters. Rev7 is one of the best controllers out there, but i was not a fan of the motorized platters 😆

Can you change the information on the platters screen so you can see the full waveform or see the art work and relapse time and remaining? How much does it cost and when will it be on the market?
$1099 and from what Cleveland Terry said, it shows the deck number and indicator only. Could be updated before release.
You cannot change the screen. Mid-range build.
I own a Rev1 but thinking of buying a FLX10 or this new controller. Can you make a size comparison of the Rev5 & Rev1 and the difference between the Rev5 and FLX10
Rev5 dwarfs the rev1 in size. Flx10 is club style, rev5 is battle dj style.
My country has limited stock or places you can buy pioneer gear... would be nice to have a visualised difference, nobody seems to have these size comparisons... us big hand people actually consider the size when buying things.
The Auto BPM Transition feature looks a bit like a more advanced version of Smart Fader from the Pioneer DJ DDJ-FLX4
Yeah it sort of is.
Does it have STEM effects? Does the jogs have the LED ring that lights up?
No and no
I wished you showed how the output would sound if you pressed 2 pads at the same time while in piano play mode. Just need to confirm that chords can be played.

Nice video. I have the a rev5 controller but for reason I can’t seem to get the piano play on mine. Any tips please. 🙏🏾
Great video! Quick question: Do you know if you have to purchase a serato expansion package to activate the pitch play and piano play features?
You called it the "Rane 5" and "Rane 7" near the end Phil. Hard to keep up with all the gear you review I guess. 🤤
Good god you’re right! Yeah hard to keep up 😂
Hi Phil 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
As long as the cable fits it should work.
so is the DDJ line their battle style and the flx line their club dj style controllers? I like the flx10 over this
Seems to be
Bro. Am I selling my FLX10. To get this? Seems like this is a much easier learning curve.
Not much in it really
Great Video as usual. please send me the info on all the tracks featured in this video please. Thanks
Nice new piece of kit. Pioneer really are taking over the planet… Love for them to include a feature where you could used stems to mute certain humans beings! 😂
Did you mean drunk requests or drakeless edits on the fly? Hmm now that i think about it, I suppose both are inherently anti-drake measures..
😂
Are the platters on REV5 pressure sensitive like the 1000SRT
Yes
Coming soon !!!
DDJ REV 6 - Connects to chatgp wirelessly, so AI can select the tunes for you, and mix them too, all you have to do is look pretty and chat shyte on the mic !!!
Sounds good! 😉
I was going to get the flx6 but looks like i’m going for the rev5. I currently have the numark mixtrack pro fx, i need a challenge and upgrade
Definitely do not "upgrade" to the FLX6, it is an entry level controller in a big box so would not really represent an upgrade. The REV5 is a much better bet.
Hi,
I am a big fan of watching dj's perform their sets. James Hype one of my most favorite keeps breaking mixers. Can you explain how he does it? He cliames somthing about BPM drops. I would love to know how he does that and why the Pioneer mixer he uses does not support his range.
Thank you
There is a technical glitch that affects the way James plays on the new CDJs but it is a very technical things that they are working to resolve
I wonder where are the beatjump controls?
Are Pioneer going to bring these features to a standalone battle mixer anytime soon!?
We do not know that!
Hopefully not as I’m about to buy an S11! 🫣
This is like a flx6 but of course an upgraded version of rev7 but cheaper quality. Probably they will make a ddj rev9 of 4 channels and premium. They always do that so i will wait for that and meanwhile use my rane four until pioneer gets it right
nah I reckon the flx 10 is the equivalent of a rev 9 without spinning platters
5:52 I have a question here: When you turn off the sync button for breaking down the transition on a BPM Level you choose manual, you have to hit the Play button at the right time, isn't it? Because at this point there is no sync.
Without sync, yes, timing becomes important.
Almost feels like a REV7 Mk2 might be coming. I’m torn between the two. The REV7 needs this type of Stem control. And of course, Auto BPM transition.
Hey I can’t hear any audio from the controller in headphones
I guess I'm pretty shallow but the feature that appeals to me most is the red lights on the joggs 😂
Ha ha 😝
for me theres missing a comparison to how FLX-10 is doing it. Why only mentioning Rane 4 when theres another big competitor of the same company.
This is primarily a Serato controller, FLX10 is primarily Rekordbox.
i think my rev 5 is defective when i play on it for around 2 hours it starts to make a screeching noise and goes in and out and when i just let the audio play it just keeps screeching. it only happens when i play for around 2 hours and i’ve used it 3 times since i got it
That doesn't sound good! Definitely something going wrong, hard to guess what though.
@@digitaldjtips yea planning to return it and get a new one
thanks phil
You’re welcome
Does the controller unlock access to Serato Pro or do I need to purchase a license separately?
It unlocks access
Kind of a stupid question but I’m trying to think ahead here haha. Is the rev5 the same size as the rev7, specifically would it fit in a rev7 flight case for example, or should I wait for a rev5 specific case to come out? Thanks!
Wait
I’m having issues with my piano roll not activating.. am I doing it wrong or??? I push and hold shift and piano but nothing changes.. HELP!
Sorry, not sure what might be causing that
Does this have mic vocal echo?
So glad Pioneer is finally paying more attention to STEMS. Maybe the whole Pioneer community is finally realizing that STEMS can take your set to 10X levels. Just very concerned about all the negative posts . . . and there were many . . . that was all over social media regarding so many quality defects on the Opus Quad.

How do you set the sync function when using auto bpm transition?
when you put the stem button on solo, does it stay on it? or does it reset to mute every time you load a new track?
It resets on track load (I believe)
@@digitaldjtips ah no !
Question. How can I map or change the dedicated stem button to echo vocal out like it does when you use the performance pads. Pretty silly if this can NOT be done.

Yes you're right, this is not ideal
How can the echo out be applied to the dedicated stems buttons? I can only get it to echo in pad mode.
They took away being able to use slicer as stems & now you gotta shift and press the pad.
Thus slows me down, especially since I juggle (quick mix) alot of songs
Play Phil's piano riffs over a 125bpm breakbeat and you'll get a 90's hardcore rave track.
You would indeed 😉
I miss the Stop Funktion. If you Press the start/Stop knob, it starts or stops directly. But why, can i Change it?
not sure what you're saying here?

This is a Serato controller, so yes, you'd need to use it with Serato
Thankyou for that, do you mean to use the piano mode you need to use serato. Because the controller is actually made to be useable with both serato and Rekordbox.
I own the Rev 7 and I’ve been having platter issues for a while now. I’m thinking this guy might replace it
Motorised platters aren't for everyone
i love my rev 5
how's the quality of those jogwheels? same as FLX6?
Yeah similar
I’ve heard that scratching on this May result in a screeching sound defect. Is that something that an update can fix?
We've never heard that
Is it capacitive touch or it has mechanic platters? Thanks
Mechanical
@@digitaldjtips Thanks.I bought the controller but it doesen't work on my Macbook Pro mid 2012. I can't install any driver (on Pioneer website I found a driver but I can't install it). Can you help me? Thanks
Can this unit charge my laptop from the usb-c connector? Or can my laptop power this unit just like the DDJ-SR2 without having it plugged into a wall socket?
No it needs to be plugged in
REV6 that includes the additional inputs?
Perhaps
Would you get this if you use rekordbox?
It is a Rekordbox controller, yes.
Stop saying Rane 7 you are confusing me :)
Or are you letting the Cat out of the Bag?
Sorry slip of the tongue!
It would be cool if opposite deck started playing automatically as soon as you hit BPM PLAY BUTTON… to avoid hitting 2 buttons at same time.
How is the sound output on the rev 5?
Fine
Name of song on left deck please.
Do you know how to factory reset the pioneer rev 5?
Indeed!
@@digitaldjtips ok can you help ? I would like to factory rest mind please.
@@digitaldjtips sorry..reset
Can it be used with Virtual dj ??
Yes I used it with Virtual DJ yesterday.
Will it work with VDJ?
Soon enough we reckon
This may Not be the right place to ask but is anyone else having sound distortion issues with the Rev5? after dj like 3hrs the sound gets screechy and distorted. I dont have this issue on any other device.
Pioneer got everyone on choke hold 😅
Like Denon better
Your wallet by the balls 😂
I'm waiting on a All in One, with moving platters... Pioneer is that too much to ask for??
We’d love to see such a thing too
