    Amazing breakdown, Terry!
    At $1,100 I do wish they had the display jogwheels, but this looks like a solid controller overall. I sold my DDJ1000SRT a few months back and I'm in the market for a new controller!

    PioneerDJ has done it. This is everything People have been asking for for. This with out a doubt will be the mobile DJ's Controller of choice. I rank this up with the DDJ1000!!!!!! Great job CT!!!!

    I always appreciate your reviews, this one will make my choice easier as I was torn between this, the REV7 and the RANE ONE. For my style of DJing the auto-BPM transition feature is a game changer. The battle layout and lack of built in effects doesn’t bother me. So I think this is in my future!! Thank you CT for another honest, insightful review. Peace, DJ 12

    For the average mobile guy, this is brilliant and at a price point where the ROI is feasible. One can wish for additional features like in the Rev 7, however it seems it is priced appropriately based on features. Not sure whos making the design decisions at Pioneer but my hat off to them, very smart.

  • @logisticalstyles
    @logisticalstyles Рік тому +22

    This looks dope. I didn't want to get the Rev7 and opted for a Rev1 for my small gigs. The Rev1 is missing a lot of features and this Rev5 is looking like a nice upgrade for me.

    • @djdevere
      @djdevere Рік тому

      Mine just came in. I have the rev1 for small simple gigs but didn’t want to spend the money for a rev 7. I love the jog wheels compared to the 1000! Just wished the controller came with hardware fx

    • @dancarthen3634

    @Rugerman205 Рік тому +6

    Pioneer DJ literally just answered my prayers and then some with the DDJ-REV5!
    I’ve been saying for MONTHS, I hoped they would make something that’s above my adored DDJ-REV1 but under the DDJ-REV7
    I already own the RANE One so I don’t need another flagship just something more professional (w/RGB lighting, XLR output etc) than my REV1. Same thought process as the DJM-S11, DJM-S7 and DJM-S5
    Pioneer DJ even drooped a Magvel fader 🎚️ in it!? USB-C power and connectivity! Wow 🤩

    Fact that this controller is now mapped for djay pro iOS, Mac and Windows, makes this controller so appealing. Mapped excellently for Djay Pro. I have with 12.9 iPad Pro. Amazing

  • @jmoak311
    @jmoak311 Рік тому +3

    Speaking on behalf of my mobile colleagues, this is the controller we all wanted years ago, and they came out with the 1000srt instead (which I really like and still use). For me this is a want and not at need at the moment, but if I were in the market would grab in a heartbeat. Good job pioneer.

    • @jmoak311
      @jmoak311 Рік тому

      It wouldn’t be a deal breaker, but I think I prefer the pitch faders where you normally find them on cdj’s now.

    Just bought one. Just got to wait 3-5 days for delivery. It’s like an upgraded DDJ 1000 srt minus the extra channels of course. I’m thankful for the usb-c connections and the cue buttons. Instead of the cue switch from the rev 7. Pioneer will sell a ton of these.

    STEM EQ is one of my favorite things about Algoriddim, and seeing it become commonplace in more and more controllers is amazing. I know there are plenty of mappable options with REV7, but hopefully they'll come out with a re-buffed version (2023 or 2024 edition, REV7.5 or something) that has some of these dedicated buttons. I would not be mad about using the REV5 at all. Also loving STEMS Solo (hey, SEMS Solo? Han Solo? Did @priyonjoni name this??? 🤣) and the ability to use multiple effects at once, which the latter is a Mixon 8 Pro favorite feature for me. Thank you for another awesome overview and review of your time with this controller. Looks like an excellent unit at a great price point!

  • @rapwithzorro
    @rapwithzorro Рік тому +4

    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.

    • @Scientists_dont_lie
      @Scientists_dont_lie Рік тому

    • @ClevelandTerry
      @ClevelandTerry  Рік тому +2

      it's not the lack of onboard effects that are the issue. Serato effects are the issue. Hopefully we'll see some improvements with the Serato buyout.

    Midi map stems to Rev 7 using Pioneer utility, it's just a MIDI button remap... plus rev 7 get magvel pro fader with tension adjust and also those glorious moving platters .. save up guys and buy the Daddy Rev 7 instead ... the best!

  • @APMdJ
    @APMdJ Рік тому +1

    Normally I don't comment in videos but I want to add my 20p because I can't believe how many ppl still not get it and compare it to the REV7, I guess they have to jusify the money spent because some even look down at the DJs who are considering purchasing it by saying things like "great for amateurs or for the ones who cannot afford anything better", well, let me tell you that having a expensive controller doesn't mean the DJ is any better, probably more for the looks and showing off
    The first thing that has to be understood is that the REV7 is the first controller in its kind, yes it is a solid unit but a revision is needed eventhough anything can be mapped to it
    Like it or not the REV5 is a game changer that hardly we can call a midrange controller for amateurs, it has the best features from the FLX10 and it is not heavy (if someone like me has been DJing out and about with a SZ-RZ then you know the pain) also many DJs don't like and don't want moving platters, that's a thing of the past and for the vinyl fanboys, not only makes the controller heavier but more failing points in the long run
    Another thing as FLX10 user and someone who regularly plays on CDJs and All in Ones connected to the laptop, from my point of view the screens are useless when all the info is on the laptop screen, I hardly look at them, maybe sometimes to adjust the BPM, therefore Pioneer DJ made the right decision by not adding them on the REV5
    Last but not least, there is another thing that many ppl need to understand, controllers are not meant to be used like a DJM to connect turntables and CDJs, the option is there but they are not ideal, most of the controller DJ's I know hardly use the LINE/PHONO inputs, just one every now and then to connect a phone

      Completely agree with you! I work in Serato and recently bought REV5 and its a great controller, too bad it had some hardware issues so store will send me a new controller. Whats your opinion about REV5 vs FLX10? Im thinking which controller to order as replacement. REV is great but has some flaws (internal fx, pitch fader placement, Cue and play buttons placement. I love the battle style mixer on REV5 but would love the deck section to be more like FLX10

    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 se if stems is active!!!

WTF???? However, I need a piece of equipment so, I will give them another shot.

    Not sure which to get now. I had my eye on the rev 7 because I prefer spinning platters but wondering if i should try adapting to still platters cause it looks like the rev 5 has more bonus features plus the price leaves you with alot of change. Maybe im wrong but just seems like these new features will definitely cause rev 7 sales to slow down

    • @MrJFunk

    Wow. Almost want to buy just for the stem eq. Combined with the dual deck mode…this almost complete reduces the need for all that real estate for four channel faders.
    And I have an old ddj Sp1 I can use to control serato efx without trackpad. Auto bpm transition is a waste of real estate to me, since manual change of tempo allows me to pick the speed at which I transition.

    Only time will tell but from using the type c laptop input on the flx10 seems like it's not as strong of a connection as the USB B connection.. Hopefully those ports can handle the abuse over time 🤞🏼and ppl on older laptops might have a hard time finding quality usb type C to A. I don't see chroma cables having that option yet.. for power on the other hand type c is about time! These proprietary bricks are ridiculously overpriced from pioneer.. so many SRTs being powered by Chinese knockouts 🙈

    I have the REV 7, I might opt to get the REV 5 for the stems.
