deck. Press this button again to resume normal playback from where it would have been if you

Strip Search:
The length of this strip represents the length of the entire track. Place your finger

Slip / Quantize:
When using the software's Beat Grid, hold Slip and move the platter to "slip"
(i.e., shift or slide) the entire Beat Grid to the left or right. This is helpful when the Beat Grid is
slightly misaligned with the track’s transients. See the Serato DJ manual for more information.

to the Beat Grid.
Pad Mode Controls

Pads:
These pads have different functions on each Deck depending on the current Pad Mode.
