I’m glad this popped up in my feed - I had no idea there was a new firmware that was released. Thanks for posting! I’ll be updating my REV7 tonight!

[@djdoubledown]

Im glad too! Hope you are loving the update 👊🏼

[@geocapistrano4364]

Thanks for the content! Looking forward to seeing more on Rev7!

[@djdoubledown]

Thank you! Yeah I should def do a proper Rev 7 review I think!

[@unclecarmie]

Thanks a ton for this video. I ran through all the pioneer/serato documentation and i couldn't find those button presses anywhere. It's a great feature as I don't want to replace stems with any feature on my pads. Keep up the great vids!

[@djdoubledown]

Yo!! Thank you Unc! Will do.

[@DJKARRI219]

Long awaited update and i'm currently installing it right now. Appreciate the breakdown!

[@djdoubledown]

🙏🏼Such a great update right?! Thanks for watching and showing love!

[@shadeamarshall4709]

I appreciate this video demonstration! Good looking out!

[@djdoubledown]

I appreciate you watching and showing love man. 🙏🏼👊🏼

[@ergophonic]

Great video. I've got the REV7 arriving soon so this was really helpful. Thanks for demoing the EQ stems feature. Would be great to see a text overlay of what you were doing during the demo as the effects were quite subtle. Oh, and your studio setup is dope!

[@djdoubledown]

Thank you so much man. You're absolutely right I should (and will) add text on future videos.

[@TheTherealdjty]

🔥🔥🔥🔥👏🏾👏🏾 thank you for the info!

[@djdoubledown]

My pleasure man! 🙏🏼

[@BuddyBakhuijsen]

Thanks for the heads up! You're video was very informative and to the point. Keep up the good work!

[@djdoubledown]

Thank you man! Short and sweet is how it should be on KZbin IMO 🙏🏼

[@djjeffonee]

Very helpful. Best one I've seen yet you made it really simple. Thanks Bro 😎

[@djdoubledown]

That means a lot man, thank you 🙏🏼

[@troylewis9671]

[@phillhot100]

Thank you for explaining it so well.

[@djdoubledown]

My pleasure man. Thanks for watching!

[@DjLyRiX]

Nice video fam. Very informative and I’ll be sharing it. I actually make the Felt and Plastic rings for the Rev 7.

[@djdoubledown]

Ayo whats good Lyrix! I've heard you make those! My stock plastic ones make a weird sound that I don't love 👎 Id happily review yours if you wanna get some to Ottawa!

[@Max10Entertainment]

Thanks for the Video! Just subscribed!

[@djdoubledown]

Ayo!! Thank you man 🙏🏼

[@BANNERWORX]

Oh mayn, they gave the sauce to the REV 7 now LOL. I was hoping they did, and in future updates for the DJM S7 and S11 mixers to have the same Stem EQ feature. That is a feature i use over and over on my Rev 5. Good video, subscribed now, looking forward to your future videos.

[@djdoubledown]

FACTS! super saucy! Unfortunately tho, I spoke to an Alpha Theta Developer after this video dropped and stem EQ's wont be coming to the S7 or S11 😭 Hardware incompatibility

[@HeyYoShon]

Appreciate this! 💪🏾

[@djdoubledown]

Thank you man 🙏🏼👊🏼

[@djsupafly1]

Good stuff!

[@djdoubledown]

Appreciate you man 🙏🏼

[@EazyELDee]

Awesome Video My Dude!!!!!!

[@djdoubledown]

AYOOO EAZY!!! Thank you my guy 🙏🏼👊🏼

[@ComplexionLDN]

[@djdoubledown]

EZ P!!! Thank you broski 🙏🏼👊🏼

[@marcoramos5923]

Thanks for the tutorial and video 👋👈🎧

[@djdoubledown]

My pleasure man!

[@djculprit]

Very dope!

[@djdoubledown]

Culprit!!!!! Thanks broski! 🙏🏼

[@warshakwarshakk9643]

SUPER vidéo, cela serait super intéressant que Pioneer fasse de même avec LE DDJ 1000 SRT.

[@djdoubledown]

Merci!

[@Romethedj]

Great video

[@djdoubledown]

Much appreciated man!

[@stunnajoseph6777]

Great video bro 👊🏾 just sub’d

[@djdoubledown]

That means a lot man, thank you 🙏🏼

[@musicspasms]

Great Video and explanation.

[@djdoubledown]

MY GUY! 🙏🏼

[@veesmooth]

This is 🔥

[@djdoubledown]

Ayooo thank you sir 🙏🏼

[@MattVarelas]

It’s pretty great. I played out with it Saturday night and was impressed. Stem levels is a feature I was jealous of in Virtual. Here’s to hoping they add it or at least make it midi mappable on the S11.

[@djdoubledown]

So great right! I do have some bad news however - spoke to an Alpha Theta Developer after I dropped this video and stem EQ's wont be coming to the S11 - hardware incompatability 😭

[@djhikevin]

Huge!

[@djdoubledown]

Thanks Kev!

[@blakejuett]

Would love to try out the stem EQs, but I use tidal a fair amount and I like using stems on them, if I update it will go!

[@djdoubledown]

Understood for sure. I think its fucked up what Tidal is doing there. Im very happy with beatsource - have you tried it?

[@djgthemerciless1281]

Peace 👑🙏🏿❤️👊🏿🫡 appreciate this video Bro 👊🏿 I use Mac as well. The walk thru is greatly appreciated 🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@djdoubledown]

Ayoo! Thank you man!

[@FrankyCee]

Hi. Thank you for the video. Finally my roll pads are free again 🙂 Let's see what else the Rev7 gets. Where did you get the golden fader caps and knobs from?

[@djdoubledown]

So great to have the roll pads back I agree 👊🏼 - Those are chroma caps and you can get em from the djtechtools website

[@integrity2719]

Appreciate the quick breakdown and examples of the updates! Make sense why I couldn't find my midi map stuff after updating everything LoL Do you know where the bottom four stems functions went?

[@djdoubledown]

Thanks man! Im not exactly sure what you mean but where they went - If you are still having an issue let me know

[@Siemprezou36]

Muchas gracias por la información, muy útil

[@djdoubledown]

no es un problema!

[@djhavickofficial]

💯Great Content Hopefully They add Library/Crate Scroll on Jog Screen Display's soon 💯

[@djdoubledown]

That would be a terrific add to a future firmware update for sure! 💡

[@danielsotolcsw8751]

Thanks, man . Much appreciated. Gonna update as soon as my 4 year old starts Zzz Zzzing.

[@djdoubledown]

haha great call man. Hope you're enjoying the features 👊🏼

[@NoBuenoMusic]

Dope!!! Now I just gotta update my 2012 MacBook 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

[@djdoubledown]

If you can get a good price on a 2021 M1 with at least 16gb of ram you will be set for a while ✅ Check markletplace!

[@reubenbrown9017]

this makes me excited almost bought a rev 5 for those features. no need now since pioneer has updated the firmware. How long have you been running the updated versions?

[@djdoubledown]

The day they dropped I used em for a while, made the video and then put the rev7 away since them to be honest. I usually keep my techs and s11 out here in the studio.

[@buddhapalmtv6878]

It's a great update. Do you think they'll add the long press to the instant scratch button too? I've hit that a couple of times in the mix and that is some horrible sh#t.

[@djdoubledown]

That would be a really good idea to be in a firmware update! 💡

[@alexgonzales6302]

Thanks for this! Thinking about getting a Rev 7 soon but I seen people complaining about different things about it and saying its over rated for the price so now Im not sure. Have you had any problems with it?

[@djdoubledown]

My pleasure man. Thanks for watching! Honestly, I love this thing and I NEVER thought I would say that about a controller. For me (a 20 year turntable user) its by far the most fun controller to play on and thats important to me. No problems as of yet.

[@BigBigBafz]

Thanks I've just updated. Where has the stems pad mode been moved to? I use the breakers and echos a lot but can't find them now.

[@djdoubledown]

Is it gone?! I actually haven't used the rev7 since I made that video! Hell yeah me too I love the stem FX.

[@djbbb4923]

Nice

[@djdoubledown]

Cheers 🙏🏼

[@chrisstockdjtjano712]

Nice Video 😍 by the way - where you got your knobs?

[@djdoubledown]

Thanks man! They those knobs are nice right?! They are chroma caps and you can get em from the djtechtools website

[@xandersitu]

Thanks for the info homie! What overhead rig you using?

[@djdoubledown]

Ayoooo my pleasure man - sorry on the delay here - I JUST realized i had 80+ comments waiting for my review 🤣🤦🏼‍♂. Overhead rig is a Sony ZV1-F into an elgato HD60S capture card.

[@Jedi_Jonson]

Okay, so I have an unrelated question. I just got the rev 7, and it's up to date with firmware and everything. But I noticed i can't select relative or internal mode when I'm using serato dj. Am I missing something?

[@djdoubledown]

Hey! Yeah so Relative is for DVS. When using your Rev7 serato should be in internal mode just like in this video!

[@ryaneleazarlaurente7478]

I'm having issue on utility settings where time mode keeps reverting to elapsed and the 33/45 RPM keeps reverting to normal when switching to long press. Any idea on how to fix this?

[@djdoubledown]

Hey - yeah unfortunately that is an issue. Pioneer is aware and it should be addressed in the next firmware update.

[@kudamah]

VirtualDJ users hv been using this feature with the eqs on even the beginner controllers from day 1. So why is serato limiting which controllers can use it?

[@djdoubledown]

I have a feeling that going forward most if not all pioneer controllers / mixers will have the ability. I spoke to an alpha theta dev about if it was coming to the S7/9/11 mixers and was told no due to hardware incompatibility.

[@grzankomuzykant]

great Video. Where i can get those lovely gold knobs. Thank You

[@djdoubledown]

Thank you brother! Those are nice right?! You can get them from the djtechtools website. They are called chroma caps

[@kongjeeli]

Bro i have a question , why my left deck sometimes stops rotating it happens 1 time on maybe 2 months . Its that a problem of the energy at the place a play or is a defect in rev 7 ?

[@djdoubledown]

Oooh good question! Do you only noticing it happening at a certain venue? That happened to me recently actually. The power in the venue couldm't hold up and my turntables were unusable because they weren't getting enough power to properly rotate!.

[@KitchenEverything]

Can you please tell me where you got those gols knobs from ?. I been looking everywhere for these

[@djdoubledown]

For sure dude! They are Chroma Caps and available from djtechtools.com

[@djagentcue3240]

Can you explain why you sold the rev5. I’m thinking about buying one and I’m curious about your feedback

[@djdoubledown]

Absolutely - Ive played pretty much exclusively on technics turntables since 2002. The rev 5 was my first controller I ever bought. I really missed spinning platters and pioneer on board effects.

[@GODInTheWax444]

Yo, they need to bring Stem EQs to the DJM-S11 mixer for real. That mixer costs so much money it should have all of their top of the line tech. I'm sure it has to be possible when using Serato in DVS mode. Get on it Pioneer!

[@djdoubledown]

Yo! So I spoke to an Alpha Theta developer after this video came out. I was told stem eq's wont be coming to the S11. Hardware incompatibility. super unfortunate I know.

[@bboymac84]

Fun

[@djdoubledown]

🙏🏼

[@brlkathiopia2289]

Merci excuse my french but i would like you to make rekordbox vidéo too because i demand to pioneer 2 years ago to do update rev7 for rekordbox

[@djdoubledown]

Bonjour mon ami! No, there won't be any rekordbox content on this channel. Thank you for watching though!

[@johnie2580]

This is best video tho I can see the Long-press 33/45 but once I exit its back to normal ?

[@djdoubledown]

I think I noticed that as well but I put the controller away right after making the video! I'm wondering if somehow saving things in the setting utility can fix that?

[@johnie2580]

@@djdoubledown Yes when you restart the machine and the laptop it does work. Am loving it tho am seeing many people still having problems with Rev7 mine has never given me any problems now or b4..

[@MrInternationalSound]

Sub’d🤝🏾

[@djdoubledown]

Much appreciated!

[@izzyduzzit00]

Cool feature but it’s crazy you could do this on virtual dj 6 years ago.

[@djdoubledown]

I know that is wild! They def the OG's of the stem game. Respect!

[@backofthehouse]

do these have wow and flutter like regular turntables?

[@djdoubledown]

A bit yes.

[@bv7461]

What does “low speed stabilization” do?

[@djdoubledown]

A stability improvement I suppose! I haven't noticed any difference there however I'm not often playing at very low speeds.

[@djelite757]

I can't get stems to work on my rev⁷?m

[@djdoubledown]

Hey Elite - I'm just seeing this now - are you still having issues?

[@vahidindonlic7012]

Where did you get the black diffuser ?

[@djdoubledown]

Yo! You can check out everything in my studio at www.kit.co/djdoubledown

[@DJRonSteele]

Would I lose my tidal stems with this Serato Update??

[@djdoubledown]

I cant speak to tidal - I'm a beatsource guy.

[@cristian46901]

thanks where did u buy those caps?

[@djdoubledown]

Nice right?? They are chroma caps and can be purchased from the djtechtools website

[@DjTrue_]

I need this controller so I can understand it and become more experienced

[@djdoubledown]

Its by far and away the best controller on the market for me and how I like to play. First controller Ive ever loved 🤣

[@bigmoneyrios]

Do you think you would like the REV 5 with all these new updates?

[@djdoubledown]

Honestly, I need the spinning platters and pioneer onboard effects. The Rev 5 Is a great unit and terrific bang for buck value, but its just not for me!

[@djjayonline1]

SERATO 4 LIFE LOL!

[@djdoubledown]

4 LYFE!!! NO RAGRETS!

[@djzlatan1gh]

Something available on virtual dj for years

[@djdoubledown]

That is wild for sure!
