Common Pioneer DJ DDJ-REV1 Questions
How do I map custom MIDI controls to the DDJ-REV1 in Serato DJ Lite or Pro?
While the DDJ-REV1 is pre-mapped for Serato DJ Lite and Pro, you can re-map certain controls in Serato DJ Pro using the MIDI panel within Serato's setup menu. Keep in mind the REV1's specific hardware controls have fixed functions and cannot be remapped.
Can I save or load custom FX patterns or hot cue layouts directly on the DDJ-REV1?
No, the DDJ-REV1 does not have onboard memory for saving custom FX patterns or hot cue layouts; these are managed entirely within the Serato DJ software and saved with your Serato DJ project or library.
How do I use the Tracking Scratch feature on the DDJ-REV1 to assist with scratching?
Engage Tracking Scratch by pressing the dedicated button above each jog wheel; this feature automatically returns the track to the cue point after a scratch motion, simplifying scratching techniques for beginners.
Why isn't the crossfader cutting sharply like a proper battle mixer, and how can I adjust it?
The DDJ-REV1's crossfader is pre-set and not adjustable; it's designed for smooth transitions, not sharp cuts typical of battle mixers. To achieve sharper cuts, consider upgrading to a dedicated battle mixer or a controller with adjustable crossfader curves.
What is the purpose of the levers above the FX pads on the DDJ-REV1?
These levers are Instant Scratch levers that trigger pre-assigned scratch samples loaded within Serato DJ Lite/Pro, emulating scratching without needing a physical record; their function is fixed and cannot be reassigned.
