“We’re also really excited about the on-board transport controls in the pad modes. “As well as built-in FX, a dedicated sampler fader and dual USB, it’s completely MIDI-mappable to suit your own style of performance. “The QUATTRO goes far beyond the line of duty for traditional 4-channel mixers,” says Nick Maclaren. It gets full support in the new version – here’s what the press release notes: If you own an XDJ-1000MK2 or XDJ-700, you’re out of luck.Ī bit of a lesser-known company, Mixars, is also getting support for one of their products, the 4-channel QUATTRO. Aside from the CDJ-2000NXS2, no other recently released Pioneer DJ players are supported in Serato DJ ( see here). At the same time, it clears up an already detectable line in the sand with Pioneer DJ. Overall, this integration speaks to the continued health of Serato’s relationship with InMusic (Denon DJ’s parent company). This also means that the dual sound cards add the X1800 to the increasing number of mixers that allow digital DJs to do easy handoffs for back-to-back mixing.Ĭlub Kit is a $169 add-on in the Serato Store – and is required in order to use the mixer with the software. The X1800 mixer is also getting Club Kit support, meaning that there’s full DVS support for Serato DJ via the inputs. No high-resolution waveforms seen in the images for 1.9.10 X1800 + Serato DJ We haven’t had a chance to test it firsthand yet (we will soon!), but suspect that there’s only basic smaller waveform display when using the SC5000 with Serato DJ. Notably missing from the press release ( and associated graphics) is any mention of high quality waveform display. The 8 performance pads are also fully integrated with Serato DJ’s pad modes (including Pitch Play control) Other highlights include jogwheel album art display, dedicated beat jump controls, colored cue points and simplified intuitive switching between four decks. “Built-in performance pads and an intuitive touchscreen mean DJs can finally make the most of Serato functionality within a digital media player.” SC5000 + Serato DJĪccording to press info, here’s what the SC5000 integration means: This release means Serato DJs no longer have to view the Prime series as complete workflow switch, but simply a new set of highly functional hardware that works with their setup. But in terms of external validation, the Prime series needs more everyday DJs changing their home setups and switching from other hardware. Sure, there are high-profile artists using the Prime series. Integrating these two major pieces of DJ hardware is a big deal – not so much for Serato DJ, but more for Denon DJ. But instead of it falling naturally after a 1.9.9 release, Serato has released a minor update. This free update for Serato DJ comes right as many are waiting to see if the New Zealand company is about to launch a 2.0 version of their software. Keep reading for details on Serato DJ 1.9.10. If you’re rocking the SC5000 media players and X1800 Prime mixer, this is the first digital DJ software to have full compatibility. A new update (out today) for Serato DJ brings enhanced functionality for owners of the Denon Prime hardware.
