Using DUAL DECK mode
DUAL DECK mode is a function allowing you to control both decks
simultaneously when mixing two different tracks on deck 1 and deck
3 (or on deck 2 and deck 4). A feature of this function is that it enables
such operations as scratching, looping and hot cueing of two different
tracks that have been mixed by mashing them up or blending them, as if
they were a single track.
The explanation below describes an example of the operation for
controlling decks 1 and 3 simultaneously.
1 Press the [DECK3] button while pressing the
[DECK1] button, or press the [DECK1] button while
pressing the [DECK3] button.
DUAL DECK mode turns on, the [DECK] button, which was pressed first,
flashes, and the [DECK] button, which was pressed later, lights.
Status display in the dual deck mode

you while pressing the [SHIFT] button during playback, the track
moves instantaneously back to the set cue point and the pause
mode is set. (Back Cue)
! If no cue is set, playback starts from the beginning of the track.
! It is also possible to change the setting in utilities mode so that
the sync mode is set simultaneously when playback is started
with the channel fader start function.
! When the channel fader is moved from the back to the position
nearest you while pressing the [SHIFT] button when standing by
at a cue, track playback starts from the set cue.
Using the crossfader start function

3 While pressing the [SHIFT] button, move the
crossfader in the opposite direction from the left
edge or right edge.
Playback of the track starts from the set cue point.
! When the crossfader is returned to the original position while
pressing the [SHIFT] button during playback, the track moves
instantaneously back to the set cue point and the pause mode is
set (Back Cue).
! If no cue is set, playback starts from the beginning of the track.
! When the crossfader is moved from the left edge to the right
edge (or from the right edge to the left edge) while pressing the
[SHIFT] button when standing by at a cue, track playback starts
from the set cue point.
Using the velocity sampler
When velocity sampler mode is on, the sample volume level changes
according to the amount of force used to tap the performance pads. The
volume level increases when the performance pads are tapped strongly
and decreases when they are tapped weakly.
When velocity sampler mode is off, the sound is triggered at the volume
level set using the Serato DJ Pro software, regardless of the amount of
force used to tap the performance pads.
Turning the velocity sampler mode on
When the [SAMPLER] mode button is pressed for 1 second or longer, the
velocity sampler mode is turned on.
Turning the velocity sampler mode off
When the [SAMPLER] mode button is pressed, the mode is changed to
the usual sampler mode (velocity sampler mode is turned off).
! In the utilities mode, the velocity curve and after-touch function can
be set.
When after-touch is enabled, the sample volume level changes while
the performance pad is being pressed according to the force used to
press on the pad.

Analyzing tracks
When tracks are loaded onto the decks by pressing the [LOAD] button
on this unit, the tracks are analyzed, but it may take time to finish the
analyzing tracks and to display the BPM and waveform.
When the Serato DJ Pro software is used as an offline player, tracks
can be analyzed ahead of time. For tracks whose analysis has been
completed, the BPM and waveform are displayed immediately when the
tracks are loaded onto the decks.
For details on using the Serato DJ Pro software as an offline player and
instructions on analyzing tracks, see the Serato DJ Pro software manual.
! Depending on the number of tracks, it may take time for analysis.
