Pioneer DDJ-REV7 offers the ability to apply both hardware or software effects on each deck.
Only one effects mode (hardware or software) is supported at the time. Six Effect Slots are provided which are shared between both decks.
Due to firmware limitations only one (hardware or software) effect can be applied at a time at one or both decks.
In order to switch the unit to "Hardware" effects mode hold down Shift button and press the first Effect Slot button (Echo).
In order to switch the unit to "Software" effects mode hold down Shift button and press the second Effect Slot button (Spin).
You can select which Hardware Effects can be selected via the Effect Slot buttons from the Preferences tab in Pioneer DDJ-REV7 Setting Utility application.
