Key Features
  • Works with Serato DJ Pro & rekordbox
  • Onboard Stem Control
  • 16 Multicolored Performance Pads
  • Dual 8" Jog Wheels
  • 2-Channel Mixer with Built-In Sound Card
  • Deck Select Button for Use with 4 Decks
  • Combo XLR-1/4" + 1/4" Mic Inputs
  • 2 USB-C Host Inputs
  • Includes Serato Pitch 'n Time Expansion
  • Includes USB-C Power Adapter and Cables

Engage with the latest Stem technology with the Pioneer DJ DDJ-REV5, a next-generation controller that works with Serato DJ Pro and rekordbox straight out of the box. The REV5 is a 2-channel controller that offers an authentic scratch experience with innovative features such as large 8.1" jog wheels, MAGVEL FADER, dedicated buttons for Stems control, the first-ever Auto BPM Transition, and Piano Play Mode.

The pitch sliders are located at the top of the controller, mimicking the popular "Battle-Style" setup used with scratch DJs on turntables. The rear panel provides a host of connections including XLR and RCA master outputs, a pair of 1/4" booth outputs, two microphone inputs, a stereo RCA aux input and two headphone outputs (1/4" and 3.5mm). The DDJ-REV5 includes a USB power adapter, a USB-C power cable, a USB-C data cable, and a Serato DJ Pro Pitch 'n Time DJ voucher.
Large Jog Wheel + MAGVEL FADER for Dynamic Scratching
The large jog wheels are responsive, reliable, and easy to operate—with a feel just like those on classic CDJ units—and they each include a display with playhead position, so you'll always know where you are in the track. You can also customize the Jog Feel to find your perfect jog wheel weight. The MAGVEL FADER is slick, robust, and ready to translate every tiny movement you make, so you can scratch with precision.
Scratch-Style Layout for Open-Format Freedom
The long tempo sliders on the DDJ-REV5 run horizontally above the deck sections while the Performance Pads and Lever FX are placed in the mixer section for dynamic performances, emulating the PLX Series deck + DJM-S Series mixer setups loved by open-format DJs around the world. Thanks to the proximity of the pads, levers, and faders you can fuse scratching with pad play and effects.
Dedicated Buttons for Easy Stems Control
Easily make live mashups and remixes using the Stems buttons on the DDJ-REV5. Your tracks will be split into Stems within the software—vocals, melody, bass, and drums in Serato DJ Pro, or vocal, drums, and inst (other instruments, including bass and synths) in rekordbox—which you can play separately.

  • Stems Mute/Solo: solo or mute the different Stems to create your own mashups on the fly
  • Stems Separate: isolate different Stems of a track on separate decks to make live remixes
  • Stems Level: use the EQ knobs to adjust the volume for separate Stems

You can use the different Stems in combination with Deck Move, so it's easy to make and control multiple live mashups and remixes at once.

New Auto BPM Transition for Smooth Mixing
Mixing between musical genres with vastly different tempos is easy with the new Auto BPM Transition. Choose a number of bars for the transition and, when you press the button, the playing track will gradually change tempo to match the one loaded to the other deck, so you can seamlessly mix or drop in the new track. You can also set Stems, Auto Loop, and Key Lock control to be applied during the transition.
New Piano Play Mode for Intuitive Musical Performances
Just like Pitch Play, you can use the 16 Performance Pads to trigger a cue point in different semitones. But, with the new Piano Play mode, pitch changes are arranged, so the pads form a piano keyboard, with the "white" keys on the bottom row and the "black" ones at the top. Choose from 3 scales and, even if you have no knowledge of musical theory or scales, you'll find it easy to play a tune.
Multiple Inputs and Outputs + 2 USB-C Ports for Smooth DJ Transitions
You can use the DDJ-REV5 as the center of a larger setup thanks to its wide variety of inputs and outputs, including an XLR master out that's perfect for use in professional environments. There are 2 USB Type-C ports for PC/Mac too, making it easy to swap between DJs with a simple flick of a switch on the controller.
Serato DJ Pro and rekordbox Plug-and-Play Compatibility
Choose your favorite software and start DJing right away. You can simply plug the DDJ-REV5 into a PC/Mac running the latest version of Serato DJ Pro or rekordbox to use either application for free—you don't need a license key or subscription. A voucher for the Serato Pitch 'n Time DJ expansion pack is also included.

New 2023 Pioneer DJ PLX-CRSS12 Professional Pro DJ direct drive turntable with DVS control (black)

The PLX-CRSS12 is the world's first turntable that supports both analog record playback and tone-arm-free DVS control, making it the ultimate deck for DJs who want to maximize their creativity.

HYBRID CREATIVITY














The Pioneer DJ PLX-CRSS12 professional digital-analog hybrid turntable is a game-changing deck and the world’s first to offer DVS control of digital music via DJ software as well as analog playback of vinyl records. Never worry about needle skipping again when you use the PLX-CRSS12 in DVS mode with Serato DJ Pro or rekordbox. The tone-arm-free playback means artists can scratch a real analog record as vigorously as they like without fear of missing a beat. And when they want to play a record the traditional way, they can simply switch the deck to Analog mode and use the tone arm as normal. 

The PLX-CRSS12 can adapt to suit the artist style. By adjusting the rotation dial on the included Magvel clamp, artists can change how “heavy” or “light” the record feels. Artists can also adjust the turntable’s torque level in the utility settings, and there are three stopping speeds to choose from. At first glance, artists will see how the PLX-CRSS12 has been designed for fluid scratching and intuitive performances. And when they look closer, they’ll notice new features that enable a greater level of control and creativity. The battle-style layout leaves plenty of room for scratching and there are four MIDI-mappable performance pads too. Artists can also keep an eye on crucial information via the OLED display. As well as the exciting features artists can see, the PLX-CRSS12 includes a host of new additions which are hidden. Various components have been upgraded from the highly respected PLX-1000 professional turntable to create the best-ever analog sound from a Pioneer DJ deck.
