Performance Pads
The performance pads have ten different modes you can select. The first five are activated by pressing the mode buttons once, the second five are activated by pressing the mode buttons a second time. For reference below the pads are numbered 1-8 from the top left pad moving to the right.
CUES mode: Pressing pads 1-8 will add up to 8 Cue Points. Holding SHIFT and pressing buttons 1-8 will delete the Cue Points. Press CUES a second time to activate CUE LOOP mode. Pressing a cue will play from that cue and activate a loop. Loop size can be changed with left and right Parameter Adjust buttons.
ROLL mode: When pressing pads 1-8 you can activate Auto Loops of different sizes. Pressing ROLL a second time activates Loop Roll mode. Pressing pads 1-8 activate different loop roll lengths.
LOOP mode: Pressing pads 1-4 can launch the first 4 saved loops. Pad 5 will start set a Manual Loop In point, Pad 6 will set the Loop Out point and pads 7 and 8 will turn the Loop On/Off and Retrigger the loop. Pressing LOOP mode a second time enables you to access the other 4 saved loops in your loop bank.
SAMPLER mode: Pads 1-3 trigger samples loaded in slots 1-3 of your Sample Banks. Pads 5-7 trigger samples loaded in slots 4-6 of your Sample Banks. Use the Parameter buttons to cycle through Sample Banks. Holding SHIFT and pressing the Parameter buttons will cycle the output channel for the Sampler Holding SHIFT and pressing pads 1-3 & 5-7 will stop the sample playing. When a sample slot is empty, pressing the pads 1-3 & 5-7 + SHIFT will load the currently selected track in library panel to the corresponding sample slot. There are also 2 sampler modifier modes:
- Loop Sample – Holding pad 4 and pressing one of the sample slots
will cycle the playback type to LOOP and Single Play for that slot.
When a sample is playing and looped the playing Pad LED should flash. - Cycle Playback Type – Holding pad 8 and pressing one of the sampler slots will change the playback type of the sample from One Shot/Toggle/Hold.
SLICER mode: A specified range (or domain) is divided into eight equal sections, and these eight sliced sections are assigned to the respective performance pads. Pressing SLICER once for the first mode, is a shifting Slicer Domain. Pressing SLICER twice, for the second mode is a fixed Slicer Domain or “loop”. Use the Parameter buttons to set the quantization for the slicer function. The quantization can be set in four ways: 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 and 1. Hold SHIFT + the Parameter buttons will set the domain. The domain can be set to one of six settings: 2 beats, 4 beats, 8 beats, 16 beats, 32 beats or 64 beats.
Looping
You have up to 8 loops per track in Serato DJ, and the choice between either manual or auto loops. When using your controller the four different looping modes, ROLL mode, HOT LOOP mode, AUTO LOOP mode, and MANUAL LOOP Mode can all be activated and controlled via the eight performance pads.
Loop Roll Mode, Auto Loop Mode and Hot Loop Mode
Cue Loop, Auto Loop, and Loop Roll are three of the performance pad modes. Activate Cue Loops on the performance pads by pressing the CUE mode button twice on your controller. Press the ROLL button to activate Auto Loop mode and Press ROLL twice to activate Loop Roll mode.
