Switching the effect’s tempo mode
With Serato DJ effects, there are two ways to set the effect’s tempo: with
the “auto tempo mode” and the “manual tempo mode”.
! By default, the auto tempo mode is set.
Auto tempo mode
The track’s BPM value is used as the basis for the effect’s tempo.
Manual tempo mode
The BPM value used as the effect’s basis is calculated from the interval
at which the [TAP] button is tapped.
Switching to the manual tempo mode
Press the [TAP] button while in the auto tempo mode.
! If the [SHIFT] and [TAP] buttons are pressed while in the manual-
tempo mode, the mode switches to the auto tempo mode.
Serato DJ FX function and the restrictions
applied to the operation of the unit
Some operations of the unit are restricted when two computers are con-
nected to the unit.
Restricted operations
! The effect of Serato DJ FX is not applied to AUX when separate com-
puters are selected by the [INPUT SELECT] switches of [CH1] and
[CH2].
! If the input source is switched to [CD/LINE] or [PHONO] by the
[INPUT SELECT] switches, Serato DJ FX selected before the source is
switched will be active.
