Control Serato Stems with existing hardware

Stems Pad Mode is pre-mapped on some of our most popular Serato DJ hardware - Check the list here.

To enable the Stems Pad Mode on pre-mapped hardware, simply replace an existing pad mode by selecting the "Replace Pad Mode with Stems" option in the setup menu.

Hardware without pre-mapped Pad Modes will need to be MIDI mapped. Here's a simple guide on how to MIDI map.
