Operation
Performance Pad Modes
With the included Serato DJ Lite, the upper row of pads can be used to perform the functions of the
four main pad modes described below: Cue, Auto Loop, Fader Cuts, and Sample. The bottom four
pads are used for Stutter, Previous Track, Search Backward, and Search Forward functions.
If you would like to use Serato DJ Pro and/or the Serato Pitch 'n Time DJ Expansion Pack (sold
separately), up to four additional pad modes are available: Pitch Play, Roll, Slicer, and Scratch Bank.
You can also use all eight performance pads for any of the pad mode functions listed below.
Cue
In Cue mode, each pad assigns a hot cue point or returns the track to that hot cue point.
To enter Cue mode, press Cue .
To assign a hot cue point, press a 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 Cue a second
time.
To select which hot cue point to use, press
Shift and a dimly lit Pad .
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 . The bottom four pads are
only available with Serato DJ Pro.
