Serato DJ Keyboard Shortcuts The table below shows a list of all the latest keyboard shortcuts that you can use with Serato DJ to access some of the features in the software a bit faster and make your life easier. Try them out for yourself and let us know your favorite and most useful shortcuts in the comments section. A personal favourite around the office is control + Z. This is used to undo the latest track load which is good if you load a track to the wrong deck or eject a track accidentally. If you are using REL or ABS mode when using turntables or CDJ's, pressing control + Z will load the previous track and continue to play it from its original position when you accidentally ejected. This has saved a couple of lives for sure. The shortcuts described are the keys on a US keyboard. On other keyboards these key positions may be labelled differently. NOTE For some Keyboard Shortcuts such as Load the highlighted song to a deck shift + left or right arrows , control can be used as a substitute for shift. Sorry Blue Whiting, not at this stage. It is a good idea though! Adding 'Ctrl' to those loop combinations turns it into a loop roll slip. Regards Thanks for taking it into consideration Scott S! One of the worst things is that after accidentally toggling reverse and having everything wig out, I generally panic and hit the first hot cue button hoping to go back to the start of the track and salvage SOMETHING, which results in total silence as the track continues to play in reverse from the start into nothingness. Hellish mistake to make I know, but even though I'm well aware of it, I still manage to accidentally toggle it from time to time and freak out every time.

This is not the case in scratch live 2. I could just use left and right. Thanks You can make a text field editable by double-clicking it in the library. Double-click the title of your track and highlight all the text, then press Control + C. It will copy it in to the clipboard so you can paste in another text editable field. Double-click another song and Control + V to paste it in. Do these steps not work? Are your files read-only by any chance? Double check the file permissions of the track you are editing. It is easier for us to troubleshoot your issue that way. Cheers Iv just bought a shortcut keyboard cover for my mac there is one thing thats not on there tgat iv noticest and thats loop roll but tgats not a prob BUT alot of it tells me Red control + letters.. One of them did a looping thing from 1 bar to nothing and the other loaded the right deck with a random track Hi dan watts, Serato does not currently produce any official keyboard shortcut covers, so the one you purchased is probably a third-party product designed most likely for Scratch Live. There may be some differences in functionality between what you see on the cover and what happens in the software. Quote: BUT alot of it tells me Red control + letters.. The one that was mentioned earlier up in this post? If you press it once, it will reloop, but the second press will exit the loop, not 'reloop' again. You do have a valid point though, and creating a feature request to have other users provide their input would be the best way to get some movement on any change to this feature. Currently this is not priority, but as always can be made priority depending on how many users request change : Cheers Thanks Minklet, Yes it's always better to bump a current open thread than start a new one - especially if it's the exact same or very similar request. All I can say is that area is the best place to go to request a change. Our Product and Development teams are constantly searching through that area and prioritising things that users have brought up, however we do get a lot of requests and some might not happen immediately. We do look through all our user feedback so hopefully if enough people request this it can be changed in a future version. However I don't currently have any further information I can give you at this stage. Regards Quote: Can I use my own Keyboard shortcuts in Serato DJ At this stage you are unable to map your own shortcuts to the computer keyboard to use in Serato DJ. The keyboard shortcuts are hard-mapped to the software, and we haven't opened it up to custom user mappings just yet. May I ask which keyboard shortcuts you would like to add yourself? What playback controls would you like to see as a keyboard shortcut? Please do this: left deck q - cue w - play play forward!!! Is it possible to Midi map the tempo slider pitch bender to the buttons on my nano pad the same way I can use key commands to make tempo changes. Right now as I see it the tempo slider pitch adjuster can only be mapped to a slider or knob. Thanks Is there a way 1 shortcut to start both decks at exactly the same time? Quote: Is there a way 1 shortcut to start both decks at exactly the same time? I believe pressing Q and S at the same time will do the trick. This is the best workaround at this stage. Regards Hi DJ BIS, Open the SETUP screen and go to the MIDI tab. Close the SETUP screen. Press a button or pad on your controller you want to use as Reloop. Turn off the MIDI assign, Reloop should now be mapped and saved to that button. You can save or delete MIDI presets back in the SETUP screen! Hope this helps : Scott Quote: Is there a short cut to switch through the sampler banks instead of clicking on each bank individually??? Not as a keyboard shortcut sorry penny bling, but that would be a great idea! At this stage you will need to click A,B,C or D bank buttons in the SP-6 panel or map them to buttons or pads on your controller to switch banks. Hopefully we can see some updates to the SP-6 panel in the future but at this stage the current functionality will remain. Pop over to the feature suggestion area if you have a good idea on how we can improve it! That's only ever caused issues for me when toggled accidentally. I can't think of many contexts where anyone would want to reverse a track beyond the capabilities of what 'Censor' has to offer. Para buscar texto oculto en reversa en los temas jajajaj Quote: if i click on z,x,c,v,b or n it never play until i click on shift key an z,x,c,v,b,n then it comes... You should then be able to play sampler slots without having to hold shift. Regards Quote: Why was this function removed? It wasn't removed, there's currently a bug surrounding this behaviour and we are going to fix it in an upcoming build : Currently the workaround is to toggle 'Playback Keys Use Shift' option in the Setup screen, and then you should be able to jump to the letter by pressing the key. Is there a way, while having the BPM section highlighted, to quickly type in a BPM that you would like to quickly go to? Is there a way to do this in Serato DJ? Please help and thank you!!! Hello, Is it possible to change the keyboard shortcuts. Currently Im using serato DJ pro, with Ableton live 10. In Ableton the only way to pause the track in play is to use Ctrl-spacebar. If I can have a keyboard shortcut in Serato that can use Ctrl-spacebar to map to the play button in Serato. Is there a way to do this?
