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.
28.
Parameter < / > :
Use these buttons for various functions in each Pad Mode. Press and
hold
Shift
and use these buttons to access secondary parameters.
29.
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
Flip Controls
