Hello!
The pitch lights are the wrong way round, when the pitch control goes up the down light comes on.

HUGE improvement for such an "old" DJ controller. Way to breathe some serious new life into this unit, Serato!

Now how about that Twitch? :)

This is a joke, it keeps crashing. I finally figured out what's causing it. If you have more than 20 000 files in serato dj it crashes. I have the same problem with serato itch (more than 25 000). man wtf is going with this software. you think after so many years these guys would figure this out. Now i have to go and break down my music files again. Takes so dam long and irritating.

I have never had Serato Crash...interesting to see if your right because I load a huge library!

I have been waiting a long time for htis and still debating getting an SX just so much money invested in this console already probably wait till it burns out.

It's ok...some functions not working or controlling like ITCH does.

Go to Setup options and select 'Playback keys use Shift'

The funny part is the software when on manual mode (not connected to a controller) plays songs but the timer doesn't roll... it just displays the total length of song.

I wish Serato DJ was like Scratch Live...

WHAT I DID WAS I HAD MY DDJ-S1 HOOK UP TO SERATO ITCH , WHILE ON LINE AND I JUST SIMPLY DOWNLOAD THE NEW SOFTWARE SERATO DJ AND CLICK THE EQUIPMENT THAT I WAS USING AND IT WORK FIND , BUT I HAVE MAC, WHAT DO YOU HAVE
DJ Yamagute 11:39 AM - 18 September, 2013
thribie, I have a 15" MacBook Pro (Mid-2012)
I tried to reinstall, but the DDJ-S1 isn't recognized.
thribie 3:28 PM - 18 September, 2013
ONE OF THE CONNECTIONS IS NOT WORKING , WHEN YOU DOWNLOAD THEM THE DRIVERS SHOULD HAVE DOWNLOAD WITH IT , TRY TO CHECH THE DRIVERS , IF IT AINT THE DRIVERS , THAN CONTACT SERATO DIRECTLY ..
DJ Yamagute 3:56 PM - 18 September, 2013
Which connections? USB? The USB ports at my Mac is working.
I don't know about the USB at DDJ-S1 cause it's like dead, none of the leds light up.
thribie 3:06 AM - 20 September, 2013
IF NONE OF THE LIGHTS TURNS ON WHEN YOU HOOK UP TO THE MAC AND WTH THE PROGRAM , THE MIXER/ CONTROLLER NEEDS TO CHECKED OUT
DJ Marcio Boehm 8:22 PM - 23 September, 2013
o que aconteceu que os dois leds do loop não acendem mais, a controladora fica toda apagada, e a sensibilidade dos jogs, não parecem com as das cdjs.
Marcio Andrade 12:01 PM - 5 November, 2013
Oi Marcio, olha acho que vc tá com problemas no Firmware, tente instalar o mais recente, caso você tenha feito o Upgrate para o Serato dj. Não custa tentar. Abraço

serato dj is not working with my ddi s1, my ddi s1 has been updated to latest firmware.
is it because of my new mac book pro A1520 retina?
please help
UsedCondoms of 1969 4:47 PM - 25 April, 2014
my macbook is not detecting the pioneer ddj s1, i connected the midi controller to another laptop with serato dj and it worked fine, now why isn't it working with my laptop, I'm running on IOS X mavericks, its not even working with itch either

DjNemo Garcia 11:35 PM - 29 September, 2014

GO TO PIONNER.COM AND DOWNLOAD THE PIONEER DDJ S1 UPDATE FIRM WARE FOR YOUR CONTROLLER , YOUR CONTROLLER HAS TO BE CONECTED TO YOUR LAPTOP AND ON ....
