Pad Mode Controls
26. Pads: These pads have different functions on each Deck depending on the current Pad
Mode. They are velocity-sensitive (in certain modes only), durable, and easy to play. In
this section, when referring to specific pads, it will refer to the numbers as shown here.
27. Parameter < / >: Use these buttons for various functions in each Pad Mode. Press and
hold Shift and use these buttons to access secondary parameters.
If you have purchased the Serato Pitch N' Time expansion, pressing and holding Shift and
then pressing these buttons will adjust the Key of the current track down (<) or up (>).
28. Cues: This Pad Mode button switches the pads between two modes: Hot Cue Mode and
Hot Cue Auto-Loop Mode. When the button is unlit, the first press will always select Hot
Cue Mode.
•
Hot Cue Mode: Each pad assigns a Hot Cue Point or returns the track to that Hot
Cue Point. When a pad is unlit, you can assign a Hot Cue Point by pressing it at the
desired point in your track. Once it is assigned, the pad will light. Press and hold
Shift and then press a pad to delete its assigned Hot Cue Point.
•
Hot Cue Auto-Loop Mode: Each pad assigns a Hot Cue Point or returns the track
to that Hot Cue Point, but in both cases, it also creates an Auto-Loop at that point.
The Auto-Loop's length is set in the software, but you can decrease or increase it
with the Parameter < or Parameter > button.
Important: If you have purchased the Serato Flip Expansion Pack, the Parameter < and
Parameter > buttons have additional functions in Hot Cue Mode and Hot Cue Auto-Loop
Mode that let you create and control Flips. See
