Operation
Pad Modes
This chapter describes the different pad modes. Each
deck has eight pads, which are always in one of
these modes, and each deck's pads can be in a
different mode. Press one of the Pad Mode buttons
to enter the corresponding pad mode on that deck.
Hot Cue
In Hot Cue Mode, each pad assigns a hot cue point
or returns the track to that hot cue point.
To enter Hot Cue Mode, press Hot Cue.
To assign a hot cue point, press an unlit Pad at the desired point in your track. The pad will light
up when it is assigned (with the corresponding color, if available).
To jump to a hot cue point, press a lit Pad.
To delete an assigned hot cue point, press Shift and the corresponding pad.
Pitch Play
In Pitch Play Mode, each pad plays the track from
a hot cue point at a different transposition
(adjustable by semitones). The Serato Pitch 'n
Time DJ Expansion Pack (sold separately) must be
installed to use this mode. See
how to assign hot cue points.
To enter Pitch Play Mode, press Hot Cue a
second time.
To select which hot cue point to use, press
Shift and a dimly lit Pad.
To select the range of transpositions the pads
will use, use the Parameter / buttons (see the
diagrams here).
To adjust the key of the current track down or
up, press Shift and the Parameter / buttons,
respectively.
To play the track from the hot cue point, press a
lit Pad. Each pad corresponds to a specific
transposition (by semitones), depending on the
current range of transposition (see the diagrams
here). The pad with no transposition (the original
pitch) will be lit white.
