The DJM-S7 is a 2-channel mixer from Pioneer, aimed at the middle of the battle mixer market. It inherits many great features from Pioneer’s flagship battle mixer, the S11: including all 22 of its beat FX, its Serato-specific features like Combo Pad Mode, Scratch Bank, and Gate Cue, and its 16 large performance pads. Effects can be engaged on the fly using the onboard paddles, and it includes a high-quality Magvel crossfader for durable scratch performance.

In today's review, we feature demonstrations from 5x DMC World Champ, Spare Change. Watch the full extended performance below.

The S7 introduces two brand new features to the DJM mixer line. One of them is Bluetooth connectivity. This lets you wirelessly play audio directly from your smartphone… for example, loops that you want to scratch over. You can route them straight to the master output, or to either of the channels to hear them with any other sound playing on that deck. The other is a new feature called Loop MIDI, which allows you to use the FX levers to send MIDI messages to Serato DJ Pro and rekordbox, in a rhythm that’s synced to your music’s BPM.
