I bought the grove circuit upon it's release and I've not found any tutorials that were free. Thankyou so much for this video I am now a subscriber ❤

[@DJShuffle07]

I can't complain about it, it's a blessing that pioneer alqha theya really made my day, I was about to upgrade a DDJ Rev5, but the GRV6? I'm definitely ready for it 💯💯🔊🎶😎😎

[@TheDJLab]

Another awesome demonstration

[@priyonjoni]

Thanks Steve!

[@leighinibiza]

I feel in time that the groove circuit section could be its own device like maybe an RMX2000 or something like that. Who knows

[@april6rain]

Great video, 2 weeks before this release i upgraded to the flx6 from the flx4 for the extra 2 channels a little bitter but it was still 200 cheaper, I have mapped beat replace to my pads and replaced key change as I hate it. But the price increase I dont think its worth it. i am now saving for the flx10 which with the price increase DDJ-GRV6 i think its the better next step. lol and the branding is pioneer

[@mpk25069trz6969]

Quality video / demo ! :)

[@priyonjoni]

More to come!

[@adamkowalskinowak9346]

Will the DDJ-GRV6 be a good choice as home equipment, thanks to which I will feel comfortable playing in a club? I mean a full-size jog, hot cue like in the CDJ 3000, an effector like in the DJM A9 and creating a playlist in rekordbox and putting it on a pendrive to connect in the club. Assuming that this is the maximum budget I have, will this be the best option? The only thing I am afraid of is the comfort of playing with such short pitch faders (I have been playing on turntables for 20 years). I am less interested in these groove gadgets. Is it worth paying extra and buying this equipment instead of the FLX6? Apparently the difference in quality is big. Can you survive playing with such short pitch faders? Best regards.

[@fredericsicsic9391]

Nice video, compliments! Can I connect two XDJ-700 units to the computer and use channels 3 and 4 to control the CDJs/XDJs?

[@priyonjoni]

In rekordbox, yes. CDJ/XDJs in HID mode can easily be used as controls for deck 3 and 4. XDJ-700 is HID mode compatible with rekordbox. However, it’s not the case with Serato,

[@Fabrizio.deitos-navalesi]

Thanks a lot for the demo and review, always great to see your content. One thing though, regarding the Rekordbox update for stems: has it been pushed already or will it be in the incoming hours/days? Thanks in advance for your help ;)

[@priyonjoni]

Be on the look out for it soon!

[@Fabrizio.deitos-navalesi]

Thx for confirming ​@@priyonjoni and keep up the great content ❤

[@davidfinlay9239]

How do you use the side of the jogwheel. Whike playing? Only works when paused?

[@SteveAldous]

Rmx replacement? Incoming? 👏

[@drewsim_]

Great review. Is the stems quality toggle only visible when the grv is plugged in? I don't see it in 7.03.

[@priyonjoni]

Be on the look out for the associated version with the GRV6 soon!

[@Kobayashi360]

@@priyonjoni wait, is it only for the GRV6 or will it be standard in RB?

[@aaronpeipert]

Can you add your own loops to the “user” preset in the groove section?

[@priyonjoni]

Yes. You can do it with the capture function. And it isolates the drums of any track.

[@oboythakid7826]

I’m looking for upgrade from the rev1 should I get this one or I do like the smooth design on tho but idk any help

[@djquind]

Hi, how is Microphone board quality?

[@PumPkiiN96]

are the new stems only playable with the grv or with any other device aswell? Great vid

[@priyonjoni]

Yes, they can be used with any rekordbox device that can use performance mode.

[@DJMANICO1]

What’s the brand off the laptop stand to your left

[@djmariocanova7301]

Hello friend, where can you get the new version of rekordbox or is it not out yet, could you tell me?

[@priyonjoni]

Be on the look out for it soon!

[@LucasLLani]

Could you use it on rekordbox the same way it works on serato?

[@djwolfletsgo]

What’s the song used

[@MatthewLambert-x6o]

What type of power bank would work well so u have no issues with the unit ?

[@priyonjoni]

I used an Anker USB power bank made to power a laptop. But any bank that provides at least 9V will be sufficient.

[@glen.s9860]

Why does no one ever do review on the cables they used or what does pioneer rec for there controller and mixers ? i was finding it hard to decide on some cable for Presonus eris E5 and I also have Pair OF E8 with a flex4

[@priyonjoni]

I used balanced TRS cables for the master, and a pair of RCA to quarter inch adapters to connect the booth. To be brutally honest, cables tend to be a boring topic whenever I cover them. Seeing the response of people not knowing that TRS can carry a balanced signal like XLR indicates how much the DJ community is interested learning about cables. It's best covered in comment sections.

[@armgod1]

@priyonjoni, where d heck is the SYNC button?

[@tobiassommer6583]

Next to the tempo sliders...

[@adamg6849]

can you use this with IoS and still have the drum swaps?

[@priyonjoni]

rekordbox mobile does not have stems so it’s not possible to do drum swap on the mobile version.

[@davinciliveproject]

The groove circuit is not included into the flagship AZ or CDJ 3000 because they wan’t kill the RXM 1000 sales.

[@TheSeeohbewhy]

I wonder if we can do this with a mini map on the rev 7 and update

[@priyonjoni]

Yes. But the groove circuit is only available either when you plug the GRV6, or if you have the Core Plan or above.

[@djphiliptan]

Two hours to transfer your library with Rekordbuddy, geez

[@priyonjoni]

That’s why I don’t add new music too often. It’s always in sessions months apart.

[@mulukukulyfedj]

Hi, will this work with rekordbox 6

[@priyonjoni]

No it won’t. New gear generally means there is a new version associated with it. So it won’t be compatible with previous versions before the date of the unit’s release.

[@victorgonzalez4791]

Not a fan of these new effects, they should focus on better sound cards and better quality gear. I hope they kill the next flagship controller.

[@victorgonzalez4791]

@@priyonjoni I’m talking about controllers, not standalone equipment. The rev 7 doesn’t sound like an A9 or even like a S11. I doubt it holds the same sound card. I own a rev7 and it’s a good controller but the built is crap, all plastic. We don’t need new effect buttons😅

[@priyonjoni]

My apologies, I thought I was replying about the XDJ-AZ. It's been a lot of comments on both videos. The DDJ-GRV6 is a 24-bit audio card. While it has decent low distortion and low noise floor, you do have to watch over cranking it, or playing too quiet. Simply back to the rules of proper gain staging. As far as the REV7 vs. the A9 and the S11, yes they "sound different" because they are voiced differently. There is a huge misconception with "sound quality" when speaking about 32-bit floating point converters. When people say "oh it sounds good" or "I don't think my ears can pick up the difference" they might be misinterpreting the reason for sound quality is in the voicing. The result of 32-bit converters has more to do with the dynamic range. Lower noise floor and a clip point beyond the maxing out the gains into the red. This is important for front of house when a DJ who does properly gain stage, decides to play into the red, the engineer can simply lower or even pad his incoming signal and still achieve a clean signal. I am of the belief that the strength and durability of DJ gear has little to do with the outer casing, rather to do with the inner chassis. Your REV7 has a solid aluminum chassis, just like any professional controller. Because of that, there is no need to add the weight penalty for the superficially perceived "built like a tank" myth. And sometimes, the outer metal on some of the other gear is just plating on plastic. Anyone who I hear claims their gear is stronger for being metal has probably never done a real comparative drop test. Would be an interesting viral video though.

[@DJ-Justo]

No stem eq?

[@priyonjoni]

There is stem EQ. Hold shift and click the headphone cue button.

[@DJ-Justo]

@@priyonjonidamn saw this reply and thought this was the xdj-az video, got excited and downloaded manual for az lol

[@DJ-Justo]

@@priyonjonibut glad this unit has it, gives some hope. Still waiting for stem eq on s11 though.

[@drjust2011]

pads in bad position..change that...

[@priyonjoni]

There are several other DJ controllers you can choose with the pad position you prefer.

[@bigdaz7272]

Rekordbox finally upgraded there woeful Stems. The catch is you need to spend £800 on a controller to get them or pay for the Monthly Subscription ROLF

[@priyonjoni]

Both of those are incorrect. The new stems do not require the DDJ-GRV6 or a subscription to use. If you are currently using a "hardware unlock" device with rekordbox, the new stems quality setting will be available to you.

[@bigdaz7272]

@@priyonjoni Ah ok i stand corrected. I thought this was the next shady iteration of you now need a subscription to unlock Rekordbox 7 for your controller you have already paid us for :) Looking forward to checking it out on my DDJ1000 then, been a long long time coming.

[@EDDSkitz]

​@priyonjoni no update here yet, still 7.0.3

[@priyonjoni]

Check now. Version 7.0.4 is out.
