this would be awsome! there is no easy way to sync the loops from the Sample Player with the tunes on the decks.

neeed it asap!!

must must must feature .

I think not including it originally was an oversite, and it should not even be considered "sync"

When all your tracks in Pro Tools play at the same rate, its not called "sync"

I've been waiting soooo long for this feature. It would make a massive impact and for me be a deciding point to stick with serato over competition.

this for sure.

this i seriously funny coming from you. You do realize that every single sample deck has a pitch slider don't you?

Yeah they maybe should have been left off.

Is the SP-6 a "sample player" as the name suggests? Or is it 6 midgit decks?

They should have decided its purpose better and fallowed suit. The way it is now is kinda like - "well people are crying for a sampler - how about we send it through both channels to appease them... yeah just copy and paste six internal decks on there... yeah thats it" At least thats what it feels like to me.

If tracks loaded into the SP-6 instantly conformed to a master bpm. I have no problem with that. If that master BPM could be linked to one of the decks - I dont have a problem with that ether. I doubt anyone would have a problem with it if it was there from the beginning EVEN though you could use it to (omg) "auto-sync". Clearly that would not be what it was built to achieve.

Maybe that could not be easily achieved for some technical reasons - if thats the case then a straight up simple "Drop Sampler" would have been a better choice in my opinion. Especially if it had a separate computer card out or whatever.

You guys act like I want to PREVENT people from using auto-sync. I dont give a fuck what you do, I dont care if you mimed mixtapes every night. What I care about is the direction and the purpose of the software.

i am sick of asking this. much before than itch appear. and i guess 3 years ago. i am thinking of making my move on.

Yeah come on Serato team sort this out. This talk has gone on far too long, discussion about master sync ever since the product came out. Personally I don't care that much for sync between the decks, but the sample player is well designed, opens up lots of possibilities but is seriously hindered by such an obvious exclusion. Give it the full potentiality, let the sample sync out the bag!

The image alone of a DJ fumbling about with tiny software pitch sliders trying to ultra-quickly sync sample[s] to master decks that also require human syncing is absurd. Save the human sync for the main decks and make a smart sync for the sample player!

do it!

Even people that are dead against sync in the main program are cool with sample sync so I don't think this would be an issue.

Let's hope it makes it's way over from Itch soon.

Just got my VCI 300mk2, and used the sync and its awsome!

But when i got "serious" gigs, i dont want to use a DJ Setup, that looks like a FisherPrice Toy instead of 1200s!

The absence of this feature is the reason I am seriously considering switching to Traktor.
I'm a hardened Serato user of over 8 years......please shed some light on this before I sell up and switch...

+ 1

Like some others have said above. This is one of the very few reasons I'm considering switching to Traktor. Being able to sync up the samples opens up lots of creative possibilities.

Traktor have dropped the price of their A6 setup to 250 quid in the UK so I bought one up to have a play with. It's loooong story but yes, the sample loop players in Traktor are amazing and totally make the switch worth considering.
Shame really.

+1 No doubt!!

And if Serato are considering this... please make sure that when you drag a loop to the sample deck, it automatically saves a WAV (or AIF) copy of (just) the loop to a 'loop' folder, like Traktor does. This is one of the main reasons I decided to use Traktor recently. I guess it's only a matter of time before I start using it to mix with too.

thats interesting - Ive been looking for an easy way to take a loop I find and export it for productions.

dope

Traktor really do make it easy with that function. It cuts a nice loop able sample and stores it for future without the guff of the full audio track.

Would be good to just drop into Ableton and use with The Bridge.

That's impressive to see that somebody stepped before myself and fueled the fire regarding integration of sync feature into the SP-6.I've been messing with Traktor Scratch Pro for 3 years now and I love it because those guys take things very seriously.I refused to play with other software since I embraced TSP until recently just to make transition easily between DJs at a club that has SSL mixers or interfaces already installed.I was excited when the Bridge came out but could never use it effectively due to extra controller and space needed when performing.In a club environment where 3 or 4 DJs are switching in 6 hours, it makes it difficult for you to find space and even use extra gear.Definitely a sync feature as offered in Itch will make a huge difference for dropping vocals and loops in SSL if not opening possibilities for creative mixing. Traktor is very intuitive when it comes to that and even better with 2.5 releasing on May 30 I can see big trouble.I already put in my order for the F1 and the S4 trolley that I can also use to carry my Rane Sixty-Two.

Wow! It's been over a year since I first commented on this particular thread about sample sync. It's amazing how long this has gone on for. After waiting a considerable time for the sample deck to appear in itself, I found myself waiting again for the appearance of what I thought would be on there in the first place - sync to the master. After a long while of reading rather pointless sync or not to sync arguments on this forum and waiting for serato action, realising that perhaps an e-mail would help, I contacted Serato over a year ago and got an ace reply back - they responded quickly, they took my suggestions seriously, made no promises of course but generally gave an air of positivity about the ideas I mentioned. Unfortunately, still after all this time, (and a lot of sample player public train crashes) no sync. Since, about 40% of DJ friends I have who used serato have bought and started using Tractor with great results. I don't really want to join that 40% because I dislike the Tractor layout and totally appreciate the very different approach serato takes. But a sample sync is nothing short of a massive flaw IMHO. When when weighing it up, development of musical aesthetics is more important. Personally I'll give my friend's Tractor a shot for a few weeks and if it's cool, then the SS for sale sign goes up.

Is there a single piece of Serato software someone is not saying this about? SL, Itch, SV-- all you see are nagging bugs, inconsequential updates, dusty old feature requests everywhere.

I want to believe, but they don't make it easy.

Yes indeed!

I just saw the new remix decks in traktor... sorry serato you definitely screwed that up. I'm gonna buy Traktor and sell of my serato...

I'm seriously thinking about the same thing..
I don't see any new major new features in a while, the bridge is cool but I'm not a ableton live guy so...

I tried the bridge too, pretty cool, but just as well I'm not really using Ableton (yet). Besides that, I think Traktor works very well with Ableton too, since it has proper audio routing funcitonality...

I still can't believe this is not implemented...

Unbelievable. Think of the possibilties! It may not be long until i jump ship to Traktor scratch pro also.

+1 SP6 sync would be a killer feature

I'm a little gutted this didn't make it into this version to be honest.

I have emailed several times asking for updates RE: Scratch, and when I received a response, it was
"We have no plans for upgraded effects (that they currently have in their Serato DJ controller software) or upgraded sample player (also currently in their controller software.)

Guys if you want these features get Traktor.
It honestly is extremely stable now, even on substandard computers.

I use Serato

1) because I (stupidly) dropped 900$ on an SL4, 100$ less than their full top of the line DJ controller 'system'

And

2) because I don't want to pay another 400$ for NI's equal quality Sound card, a
24/96 4 channel card with a 5th input and midi ins and outs specifically for SYNCING all the gear being talked about.

I only use it for at home demos and mixes. With absolutely no bonus to users on CDJs,
I always burn CDs or side load USB to perform.
It is a dying platform and they know it.
Save your breathe.
