Serato DJ Pro 1.8.0

Serato DJ 1.8 is the latest major software update for Serato DJs. This update adds key detection and display, an update to Pitch 'n Time DJ allowing key shifting and key sync, plug and play support for the Pioneer DJM-S9 and user hardware remapping, as well as a number of important performance and stability updates.

Key detection

Now when you analyze your tracks, Serato DJ will detect the key. Use the colored key display for quick and easy key recognition. Choose to display the key in Camelot, Open Key, Classical Key or Original Tag.
