Saved Loop
In Saved Loop Mode, each pad triggers a loop previously saved in your software.
To enter Saved Loop Mode, press Saved Loop.
To play a loop, press a lit Pad. Each deck's eight pads will correspond to Saved Loops 1–8 in your
software, and the color of each pad will correspond to the color assigned to each loop in your
software.
Roll
In Roll Mode, each pad triggers a momentary loop roll. Releasing the pad stops the loop roll and
resumes normal playback where the playhead would be if you had not triggered the loop roll (i.e., as
if the track had been playing forward the whole time).
Note: Disable Show Beat Jump Controls in the Serato Setup menu to access 8 loop rolls at once.
You can also view and edit the set loop sizes in the software.
To enter Roll Mode, press Roll.
To trigger a loop roll, press and hold a Pad.
To change which eight lengths for loop rolls are shown (in the software), press either of the
Parameter / buttons. The pad layout will shift to match it.
To shift the loop roll backward or forward, press Shift and the Parameter / buttons, respectively.
Auto Loop
Auto Loop Sizes
In Auto Loop Mode, each pad triggers or releases an
auto-loop of a different length.

To enter Auto Loop Mode, press Roll a second time.
Sampler
In Sampler Mode, each pad triggers a sample, which you

can assign in the software.
To enter Sample Mode, press Sample.
Scratch Bank
In Scratch Bank Mode, each pad loads a song to the selected deck. You can assign the song and
set the starting point in the software. This is useful for preparing and performing with song samples
for scratching.
To enter Scratch Bank Mode, press Sample a second time.
Slicer
Important: Your track must have a set beatgrid for this mode to work.
In Slicer Mode, the eight pads represent eight sequential beats—"slices"—in the beatgrid. The
currently playing slice is represented by the currently lit pad; the light will "move through the pads"
as it progresses through each eight-slice phrase. You can press a pad to play that slice. When you
release the pad, the track will resume normal playback from where it would have been if you had
never pressed it (i.e., as if the track had been playing forward the whole time).
To enter Slicer Mode, press Slicer. The deck will exit Slicer Mode if you load another track to the
deck or enable Grid Edit Mode.
To play a slice, press the corresponding Pad.
To decrease or increase the quantize size, press the Parameter / buttons.
To decrease or increase the size of the slices, press Shift and the Parameter / buttons.
Slicer Loop
Press Slicer a second time to enter Slicer Loop mode. The pads behave identically to the pads in
Slicer Mode, except the eight-Slice phrase will loop rather than moving forward continuously through
the track.
