Favorite FX

Favorite FX allows you to customize the effects select drop down menus that appear in Serato DJ, showing the FX you choose as your favorites.

Maintain your growing FX list, and easily add/remove FX to your favorites list to suit your own performance needs.

The Favorite FX feature can be found within the Serato DJ setup screen.

Slip Mode

With Serato DJ 1.3.0, all supported Serato DJ controllers are now able to use Slip Mode.

When Slip Mode is activated you can manipulate the audio as normal (e.g scratching, Looping, triggering Cue Points etc), however once you have finished, the playback position is returned to where it would be if you had not manipulated the audio.

Slip Mode can also be MIDI mapped to a secondary MIDI controller if your hardware doesn't have a dedicated Slip Mode button.
