Pad FX
In Pad FX Mode, the pads select and activate effects.
The top row of pads selects the type of effect, and the
bottom row triggers and controls the lenth of the effect.
To enter Pad FX mode, press Roll / Pad FX so that it
lights yellow.
To select the Vinyl Brake effect, press Pad 1. When the
Vinyl Brake effect is triggered by the bottom row pads,
the audio slows as if a phono platter has stopped, fading
out to silence after the time selected.
To select the Backspin effect, press Pad 2. When the Backspin effect is triggered by one of the bottom
row pads, the audio plays backwards and speeds up as if a phono platter is spun backwards, fading out to
silence after the time selected.
To select the Gate effect, press Pad 3. When the Gate effect is triggered by one of the bottom row pads, a
time-based gate is applied to the audio based on the selected size.
To select the Echo effect, press Pad 4. When the Echo effect is triggered by the bottom row pads, the
audio will echo to silence based on the size selected.
Note: The Echo effect can be combined with other effects. All other effects are exclusive.
To trigger the selected effect, press one of Pads 5–8. Each pad activates the effect immediately with a set
size, increasing from Pad 5 (shortest time) to Pad 8 (longest time). When an effect is triggered, the selected
pad will blink.
Note: Selecting a new pad mode will disable all currently active Pad FX on that deck.
Sampler
In Sampler Mode, the pads will control the sampler in the software. The pads each trigger a sample at a
specified volume (you can assign the sample and its volume in the software).
To enter Sampler Mode, press Sampler / Fader FX so that it lights purple.
To assign a sample and its volume, use the software. See the Serato DJ Pro manual to learn more about
using samples.
To play a sample, press a lit pad. The pad will flash as the sample plays.
To stop playback of a sample, press Shift and a Pad while it plays.
To cycle through the sample banks, press the Parameter / buttons.
To cycle through the Sampler outputs, press Shift and the Parameter / buttons.
