The DDJ-REV5 is a new-generation controller with Serato DJ Pro and rekordbox compatibility. This 2-channel unit offers an authentic scratch experience and innovative features including its large jogs, MAGVEL FADER, dedicated buttons for Stems control, the first-ever Auto BPM Transition, and Piano Play mode.
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.
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.
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. 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.
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.
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. 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.
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.

After doing a lot of research in to the ideal controller for me I landed on the Rev 5 from pioneer. I like the pioneer brand and the consistency in their products and I really wanted a 2 channel back to basics controller set up with the stems incorporated. I have found after about 40 hours of use in a couple of weeks that I chose correctly. The weight without the motorised platters of the Rev 7 works great with moving the unit around to gigs and at home. Love that the screens I. The middle of the jog wheel are very basic and all buttons and pads are responsive and work great. Being able to use 3 pad modes at once is awesome and the jog wheels feel great and love love love the magvel crossfadet. This is a significant upgrade in quality and sound quality from the Ddj sx3 which I have played on for the last 5 years and loved. The only reason I’m not giving this 5 stars is the dedicated stems buttons. I would rather have the stems effects on the secondary function instead of solo the stem. Other than that I’m super happy with how this controller operates. The crew at Mix Foundation as always make it easy to do business with them. Cheers team.

Great minimal controller, love it
Ace controller to have around the house. Easy to move around with the battery and USB-C power and being totally standalone. Love the minimal look and the functionality is just right for me, everything I need to play with confidence. Streaming of Beatport and TIDAL has now also been added with a firmware update, and works nicely. I sold a DDJ-1000 and got this to replace it and am very happy.
Only thing I'm missing is maybe a second USB port to transition between DJs, but there are workaround for this.

Look high and low for this!
I am from the USA and had to scour high and low to be able to find a pair of these special limited edition control vinyls. Only 1500 copies were pressed and so I am grateful Mix Foundation had some in stock and was willing to ship in internationally to me. The vinyls arrived within in less than 2 weeks in perfect condition. Awesome customer service from Mix Foundation, thank you!

Ultimately It’s A Laptop Stand
So, um… yep, it’s definitely a laptop stand, and it is indeed black (as pictured). It stands and holds… erm… laptops. It may even hold other items, like a bag of potato chips (update: it will not feasibly hold a bag of potato chips although this is most likely the result of a flaw in the design of the potato chip bag, rather than the stand).
Unfortunately, it’s also unlikely to hold a very heavy item either, like, say, a car. Or even just a car engine. To be fair, UDG has never claimed that this stand will hold any sort of vehicle. Still, I suggest you’d be better off purchasing a hoist or jack if you plan to lift a vehicle of any description. And yes, I get that this might seem a bit OVER THE TOP for a smaller vehicle, like a bicycle.
I use the stand when DJing. It ELEVATES my performance. It’s outSTANDING and really LIFTs my confidence. The audience also gets a RISE out of interacting with it. Using it really is the Ultimate HIGH.
An unexpected benefit is that the blackness of the stand matches the color of my soul after playing "Wagon Wheel," “TikTok” or "I Gotta Feeling" for the one million billion gazillionth time.
By 2:45 AM, I can really use the BOOST provided by the beauty of the stand’s shiny finish. While this might seem beneficial at first, it often turns into a downside; I start contemplating how the stand will likely lose its shine as it ages. This sends my morale into a downward spiral as I reflect on my own aging. I begin to question some of my life choices. Am I losing my shine? I mean, I’m not in as good shape as I was when I was unboxed. (It occurs to me that this may be due to the potato chips.) Whatever the reason, this line of thought makes me sad. However, it’s probably unreasonable to blame the stand for this.
I HIGHLY recommend purchasing a UDG Ultimate Height Adjustable Laptop Stand in Black. But only if you’re looking for a stand for your laptop.
(Further update: The potato chip problem can be resolved by ensuring that you install the firmware update and place the bag UNDER the erect laptop stand. Note that this will only work with thin-cut chips.) ((Some thick-cut chips may work if the bag is reinforced—I have yet to test this, so you might want to tread lightly before going all gung-ho with your chip placement choices. Also, make sure to keep a backup of the stand. Not the chips)). Side note: I would also NOT suggest that you tread ON the stand, no matter how lightly you might do so.
Whether you’re an expert laptop stand user or still a relative novice, I hope I’ve convinced you to purchase this stand.
Or some potato chips.

DDJ 1000 purchase
I dealt with Phillip and Mike. Mike went the extra mile and was very good at communicating and clarifying the different stages when purchasing via the online process. Thanks Mike. Very happy with the DDJ controller and enjoying the creative process. Thanks Mix Foundation, you are on point.
