DDJ-REV7 + Serato STEMS | MIDI Tutorial

[@priyonjoni]

Did you know Serato Stems is now built into the official mapping of the DDJ-REV7 including The addition of Stem Level (Stem EQ)? Update to the latest Serato version today!

[@velvetlg8146]

It's sooo fantastic that Pioneer doesn't have to make a new hardware to get the stems on board... This is very Cleaver. Feel like the ddj rev7 is getting more juicer than it was already now I want to buy one. That person who created this hack should definitely be rewarded by Pioneer DJ.

[@OgDj2024]

That is one amazing piece of equipment! DJ gear has come a hell of a long way since the 70’s and 80s

[@JMD535]

Thank you for a very clear tutorial on how to map STEMS on the DDJ-REV7. This was mad easy!

[@coolhandlex]

I put the Stem FX in the same spot, makes on the fly remixes and blends a piece of cake!

[@priyonjoni]

Some folks prefer it that way as well! Do what works for you!

[@mazusub8182]

YASS PLEASE 🙏 A TUTORIAL ON SCRATCH BANK FOR TONE PLAYING PLEASE 🙏 … Thanks!

[@soundcentral]

Love it! I did something similar, but I assigned the Stem FX to Shift+Pads 1-4. I also assigned Vocal to Slip and Instrumental to Censor for quick access.

[@priyonjoni]

That’s also a great idea!

[@kirkstate]

Excellent tutorial got right to the point, these days that’s a 💎

[@KitchenEverything]

Great info, but can you do a tutorial on the tone play four songs at once. I'd definitely like to know more about that please. Thank you

[@DJBennyswift]

This is so cool to know, I may be a proud owner of a Rev-7 within two weeks which would be my upgrade from the Rev-1 which I really like. Now that the stems are out, will this work on the Rev-7? Also, since you can also use Virtual DJ with the Rev-7, will the scratch pads work the stems like it does with Serato?

[@oxenbrandmusic]

Did you ever do the tone play tutorial using the scratch banks? If not, I'd be down to check that!

[@deeejay1054]

great video, thank you - Stems is so awesome especially with the REV-7 too! WOW bring it on

[@djdavidbraz]

Thanks for this. I was going to map it another way but I like the way you have it mapped

[@salvatrooch6537]

Thank you , tremendously. I'm supposed to pick my Rev 7 manana

[@spiritscapesss]

thank you so much! great instruction and excited to have fun with these functions! I am a total beginner and this was easy to follow and implement

[@lonnygonzalez7850]

Thank you so much for making this simple and easy to learn!!

What exact MacBook Air and specs are you using? Can you send an Amazon link? Great video, thank you!

[@mrm5867]

This is mad. Huge thanks for such clear instructions!🎉

[@perfectbeatdj-djfrank2708]

PYJ - Thanks for this. Followed it exactly and got it going. I wanted to ask when using Stems functions, why does the vocals and beats cut off in and out at times during play. I notice the music drops in the wave file. I think I know the answer but I wanted to shoot it at you for your input and advice. Thanks again for the video. Very helpful - props! 👊

[@djsugashane]

I dunno if I thanked you for this or not yet but… THANK YOU!!! This was/is so rad!! Great instructions and super easy to follow and apply! Do you happen to have this same (or similar) info for mapping an S11?

[@velanche]

Hey thanks for this; I just might give MIDI mapping a try. I do like that in Setup on the public beta, I was able to choose the Slicer as the place where Stems are baked in without any mapping required. But there are potential advantages to mapping the instant scratch buttons while leaving the hot cues on the pads alone. Will try out both ways. As ever, thank you!

[@priyonjoni]

MIDI mapping in Serato isn’t really that scary! The system is simplified and easy to remove if you mess up.

[@ronaldnewman4206]

Please help I need to remove and do again @@priyonjoni

[@experienceevents6951]

amazing tutorial. total game changer. thank you!

[@ninolove6317]

I have a question can you please help me out🙏🙏🙏 @ Priyonjoni i have the DDJ Rev 7 only had it for 8 mouths and today i went to turn it on and for some reason it started the music sounded muffle like voice and not clear and No bass . For example like a trumpet playing with that cup at the end of the horn . I feel like i must of hit a button by mistake i just don't know which one . 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@DeejayUrbanD]

thanks for this video, u solved my question about it =))) greetings from switzerland

[@keithchegwin1222]

Great video, I have recently bought a Rev 7. Are there any videos on how to save loops on this controller? Thanks

[@ls4life544]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I still have ddj sx2 because I could use it with pioneer or serato. I will try to midi map the slice pad once the serato software is out. Pioneer is falling behind, no rev7.

[@DjSpeccs]

I used it on my slicer since I never used it, got the SZ2 as well

[@itsamedjmario]

Tone Play video all day please 😎😎

[@melquijano4196]

Thank you @priyonjoni this is perfect. Do you have a video on Tone Play?

[@mingusx3440]

Thanks again for another great video! Man, a lot of us who are considering upgrading laptops would love a video on what (Mac) laptops to consider for the new Serato update. I know you've just bought the Macbook Air M1, and I'm looking forward to hearing your experience on it, but I'm curious as to what are the minimum required specs for the new Serato update (Intel vs M1 chips)?

[@priyonjoni]

So far, the CPU usage of Serato stems is still not set. In fact, the public beta released today is seemingly more efficient than the first release. With that said, it seems to be panning out to be like this. This can change, but so far it's: Intel-Mac < Intel-PC < Ryzen-PC < M1/M2.

[@FunkyRaceMonkeyZ]

Yes, do a tutorial on tone play using that instant scratch section please!? Lol Thank you 🙏

[@djdannyiLL]

Mind blowing 😮 Thanks Pri yon Joni 🚀

[@priyonjoni]

Have fun with the mapping!

[@kazukami3107]

is that the same professorbx from the skratchcon/ asisphonics/ ibc/ skratchlounge/worx etc forums?

[@hectortorres1077]

Is there a way to midi map serato efx on to those pads as well? I use those efx as well and would like to set that up

[@charlespeppers3011]

My saved loop pad mode function isn't working to work the echo outs! Smh

[@rayrvidal4199]

So I have you been doing any gigs with the MacBook Air and does it stands up to all that battering ? I know it’s a different question, but I am thinking about purchasing either the MacBook Pro or even the MacBook Air if you can stand up of the night …

[@memeagain4106]

Thanks for the video.... How do i midi map 3 stem functions (melody, bass, drums) to one button?.. Thanks

[@ckcc1209]

can the stem faders map to midi control or only for the control that has stem built in ?

[@djscottydoo]

They should allow us to swap any pad mode on the Rev7. I never use saved loops 😢 swapping the slicer on the s9 is ideal.

[@priyonjoni]

Serato does. In your settings, instead of mapping, there is an option to swap one or more pad modes with stems.

[@djscottydoo]

@@priyonjoni you cant swap it to every pad mode on the Rev7, i want to wap out saved loops, but dont see that option.

[@EdithZavala-e9h]

Hello , I’ve watched all your videos and they have helped me a lot ! Thank you . I have a quick question , I did the stem functions as you explained from the extra pads but everytime I tried using the vocal ,melody stem effects … for some reason the volume goes up automatically and is very noticeable since the volume goes up automatically and I haven’t been able to use the stem effects for the same reason 😣

[@priyonjoni]

Thanks for the support! Two things here: 1. The stem volume rising up is often due to when you use pre analyzed stems. I’m guessing that you are using pre analyzed stems, if I’m correct? If you are, you need to reanalize your stems. I use real time render, and I never have issues with volume. 2. Did you know you no longer need to do this mapping on the REV7? The latest firmware update not only has this feature built-in, but the addition of Stem EQ: the ability to control the volume of individual stems with the EQ knobs. Be sure to update your REV7 firmware from PioneerDJ.com . Instructions and version notes are on the download page.

[@djshattered6414]

Pri Yon Joni!!! Got a question for you brotha. Why doesn’t pioneer release an update to allow Combo Pad Mode on the REV7 like how the S11 and S7 can do? Is this something pioneer is thinking about or is there a place I can submit this request?

[@priyonjoni]

You already have a second pad mode on the Instant pad section. Instead of 4 of each, you have 4 up top and 8 on your mains. That’s more than combo pad mode can do.

[@djshattered6414]

@@priyonjoni understood, but on my S11 I really like having the top 4 as cue and my bottom row as my stems. I changed in the serato setting for stems to replace roll mode. That’s why I was curious on why Pioneer didn’t also add that to the REV7 since it’s their flagship controller

[@DJLueder]

Yes! This is gonna be awesome for gigs!

[@priyonjoni]

It’s great!

[@DJAUDIO1]

Great video, PJ.

MIDI mapping is pretty much the same was just wondering if you have a video like this for the S-11

I finally got my gold edition REV 7 so i'm all in your videos Pri. My 2018 MB Pro. works on my hard drive but, with Tidal it just spins then crashes even with the touch bar off HELP please.

[@dj-MadaM]

Hi, Could be the 33/45 buttons programmed to act like on any real turntable? I was amazed by the rev7 having them, and tought it will open up the possibilities to the well known dmc-routines-like tempo changes, but its not. Any idea how to add that extra 35% with a push of a button? (I know the 35% is good only at the 0% pitch value, and will differ on other values.....)

[@priyonjoni]

The 33/45 buttons behave exactly like a turntable. If your rotation setting in serato is left at 33; clicking the 45 button will pitch you up.

[@rachelleruiz5127]

What laptop stand are you using?

[@DJMAC8202]

Man!!! Your video was on point!!! Can you please do the same for the Numark NS6II? I'd be forever grateful!

[@ergophonic]

Sorry if this is a silly question but now that I've mapped the stems toggles to the SLOT/PAD buttons, does that mean I can't use the Sampler features?

[@priyonjoni]

That is correct. However, you don’t need to remap anymore. There is a new firmware and Serato version that not only this function, but Stem EQ as well to the REV7, a function that is not mappable.

[@ergophonic]

Thank you! Just figured out that Stems can be controlled from EQ. Amazing.

[@djbonzzy007]

I have a Pioneer DDJ SX3 and was able to map successfully for STEMS but the pad lights don't work. It's stays on white, when I activate or deactivate STEMS. Please help if you know what am doing wrong.

[@priyonjoni]

Hello. No need to copy and paste your comment to multiple videos 🙂. Go into your Serato settings > MIDI tab. Select your DDJ-SX3 under MIDI devices. On the lower section, next to the Delete button, there is a box for “Enable Output Lighting”.

When can customers expect SPLIT / STEMS in Rekordbox and hardware?, cause Pioneer need to "stem" up their game or it's over, this is a game changer like no other. I'd rater have four faders for stem splits, than four channels and players on a XZ MKII. The possibilities are endless and if Pioneer still want to be the future king among "performers" not producers that only play 40 tracks at a festival and still need 6 CDJ 3K players, V10 mixer and 2 RMX 1000, something need to happen and fast, time does not wait for lazy folks. XZ MKII, 4 channels, Stemsplit, onboard bay for SSD, and 4 USB ports, 2 is not enough by a long shot. And make the FX banks editable like the RMX 1000, Pioneer could have a plugin online store where people could buy different effects and be really UNIQUE. There are a lot of djs and performers that love hardware and do not want to include computers. Do no neglect us! Peace!
