Any chance you guys will do an A/B comparison video?

Great news!!! :)

FINALLY!!!! I have been begging Y'all for this for soooo loong! TAKE MY MONEY!!!

Nice, any chance for an SSL plugin? We have until 2015 :)

TAKE MY MONEY

Sorry, Scratch Live will not support Pitch 'n Time DJ. Available for Serato DJ only :)

nice! so, as i can see, soon we can expect Rane Series Equalizers? please!

Wicked, FINALLLY!!!

Does it use a lot of CPU?

We kept CPU usage in mind when developing and our tests have shown that PnT DJ is not overly intensive.

System requirements would be helpful

Would I be able to use it on Ableton?

We can enable/disable if needed?

You will not be able to use P'nT DJ with Ableton as it is an expansion pack for Serato DJ that takes over from our standard key lock.

Yes you can disable it in the setup screen, which will then enable the standard key lock within Serato DJ.

You guys are kickin azz and takin no prisoners today Serato.

From Almost Famous, "It's all happening!!"

Nice! $29 is a steal!!

^ This

WORD!!!!

Excited to try this out!

$29? TAKE MY MONEY

take my money!

Here's a question: Why doesn't the Key Lock in Serato DJ do this already? You basically told us it's possible to implement into Serato DJ, so why not implement it to fix the terrible Key Lock? Can't move +/- 3% without artifacts already!

Key lock and Pitch 'n Time are 2 different coded programs/plugins. It's like asking a car company why they can't make their 4 cylinder engine go faster by using their turbo V8 engine for parts. Yes they're both engines but 2 different technologies.

Good Point, but I'm pretty sure Serato DJ was built from scratch. Why wasn't the Turbo V8 engine used in the first place instead of building a crappy 4 cylinder?

FYI, $29 is a great price! I will probably buy it! I'm just curious why they didn't build one great product without these kinds of add-ons.

I think you may have just answered your own question.

They need a way to generate revenue outside of the initial purchase. I really don't see a problem with this. You don't see the DVS guys complaining about buying CV do you? I mean, I hear you with regard to why it wasn't just added to the basic software, but for whatever reason it wasn't. I mean, this has been a feature request since months after Keylock was introduced. I for one will take anything I can get, and at a mere $29, I'll take it!!

You probably mean years. It's been around 9 years now ;)

They were probably busy maintaining those other two platforms itch & scratch live when working on SDJ 1.0, so they probably took something that was less work to get the first release going. I'm pretty sure quite a lot of work went into PnT DJ. Congratulations Serato Team, killer price too!

making it real hard to stick with SSL!...lol
bastards!

;-) looking forward to this!

Pitch shifting or just key locking?

nik's got it right on the decade long wait…. would be awesome to use this with mixtape…. oh wait :p……

#crickets

Just keylock at this stage, but who knows what the future might bring! ;)

OMG FIIIIIIIIIIINNNNALLLLLLLLLY!

THANK YOU A THOUSAND TIMES OVER!

half a pie is better than none.

I am not sure if it was mentioned (and I just missed it) from the above...

Will it work with MP4 - video files?

^^^^ -- It affects the audio of the file not the video, so yes it will work with MP4's

Thanks DJ Dollar, that is correct :)

Thanks DJ Dollar!

@938MyDJ, just remember you're not going to get "super slow-mo" for the video or anything like that. The audio will be pitched but the video will vary depending on the frame rate. The video output will probably just look really choppy if you slow it down too much.

It will all depend on the quality of the video how much you will be able to pitch it.

that wink means there'll be an updated version later in the future to allow us to change the pitch of a track without the tempo, it's gotta be (since traktor can already do it)!

i just hope the update is free... but then again, if you're only charging us $29 for something that otherwise costs $799, i really shouldn't be complaining.

either way, that wink of yours, please let it happen sooner than later, i don't really fancy waiting another 9 years for the other half of the pie!

Soooo what's this plug gonna do? Better pitch? Better Master Tempo? Better Fxs involving time stretch?

No, I meant months. As in, it has been a request that started within the few short months after it was first introduced....LOL, I actually should have said, "weeks". :-)

Once we have a powerful SP-6, there will literally be nothing left for me to complain about.......what am I going to do, LOLOL? I mean, all of the other "years long" issues have been addressed. Well, that is once they bring "MIDI OUT" & "Day/Night View" back.....but that's just nitpicking at this point.

Well done, Serato!!!

please include the roll out fast and slow effect.

Ha!!

Take my money what a serato years are you waiting for. Please take my money

After what has been introduced?

you can introduce pitch and time and so many other features.
I can't understand why you not put the 6%pitch range that so many people are asking..... its unbelievable.......

SSL, I assume...

Ah! Now it makes sense :)

sorry ssl...it's been fun.

Superb can't wait Feb ?? and please any news of the Bridge making an appearance to complete Serato Dj and be the best by miles ???

This. Sorry, I wasn't able to get my point across clearer ;)

I'll reserve final judgement on the improvement after I am able to actually hear the new key lock in action.

But it's a bitch-move to put in the crappy broken key lock into the newly built Serato DJ and then charge people more money for a feature that actually works.

I think the way that Serato sees it is, for many DJs who only pitch bend 3-5% and don't hear any problems in sound quality, the current key lock is sufficient. For the DJs who want to bend further without sound degradation, the plugin is available. Just a guess on my part.

I'm also curious to hear how the plugin compares to regular key lock, but I'm pretty sure we'll definitely be able to hear the difference in the wide pitch ranges.

why everybody is assuming that pitch n time FX will be pilotable through pitch faders? because to me it's not so clear....

^This...
I guess I'm one of those DJs because the current key lock sounds great to me.

GREAT NEWS!!!! FINALLY!!!!

Awesome believe I will be taking full advantage of this

You want to hear an example where it sounds like shit?

The first track (nina simone) on this kid's mix is pitched waaay down, and oh man, can you hear the artifacts......it sounds soooo bad!!

Watchwww.youtube.com

Okay point taken. hahaha! wow

Yeah I don't use it the same manner he does being an old skool and hiphop dj.

I see from reading above that the P'nT plugin will "take over" the standard key lock…meaning it won't require an effect engine to be tied up just for solid key lock.

TAKE MY MONEY, SERATO!!!!

Nice job, and THANK YOU!!!

reading where????

Read comments 14 and 15 above from Serato employee "Eddie R."

continued to find that it makes more sense to have 6% pitch instead of charging for something that already exists. I would pay $ 30 just to have the 6% pitch in my DDJ-SX ..... I think it would be much more important, and I know that there are many users requesting the same.

so Big Wiz didnt use the feature in the booth this year.
but he did playback an example of 2 tracks pitched waaaay down
(i think - 50)

1 with standard key lock, 1 with pitch n time.


everyone's jaw hit the floor.... serious.

wish there was a video of that....maybe there will be.

What is the point??

^ you've got to be joking? ^

Well, seeing as how your name is "nexus2000", I would assume that you play on the player for your namesake. The 2000nexus has pretty clean/accurate Keylock in it's own right. Well, Keylock on Serato products have sucked for a long ass time. Now, w' this plugin, they won't.

That's the point.

Thank You Very Much for the help and FYI i own the PDJ 2000 Nexus system with an RMX-1000 and DDJ-SX.

What's that?

; )

Pioneer DJ CDJ/DJM 2000 Nexus system.

Wow, you don't pick up on sarcasm very well, do you? It's all good, as you were. I've got drinks & peeps to get back to. Just one more thing......"nexus2000" isn't really the monicker you DJ by, is it? :-)

I wish there was a video of Big Wiz demoing the Pitch n Time plugin, would love to hear the difference between it and standard key lock.

Great.... spend more money. SMH. I love you Serato but this is getting ridiculous.

Perhaps it'll have a % adjust in the software that's midi mappable. So your regular pitch fader can go from 5% to 15% to 25% to 50%

Spend a less than a tenth of the paycheck from my last gig on the tool that I use on gigs? Sounds fine to me Serato, keep doing what you're doing

^ This!! ^

Great for you. That's not the point. Get tired of paying for little updates. They should either add the features for free and keep loyal consumers happy or do one mass upgrade with all these features and charge for it. Every month it's something else. Starting to sound like NI. lol

Hey DJ TeeOh

Not everyone seems to care for this feature.
Charging a little bit for optional features is a way for us to do cool things while justifying the development costs.

We've added a lot of free new features in the past as well.

Here are some of the features we added in last year or so
- Slip mode
- Quantized hot cues
- Wolf pack izotope FX ( we need to license new effects from iZotope - but they are simply the best ! )
- free Upgrade to Serato DJ for most Rane and ITCH hardware.
- lots of bug fixes
- flac file Support
- ...
Plus we aren't going to stop doing that.

In the case of Pitch'N'Time, its originally a studio grade plugin in that costs more than 700 $ (and for a reason)
Its been used by pro's in the film and audio production industry for a decade - and it was not a trivial task at all to get it ready for DJ Software i.e. to perform in real time.
So we had two options.
1) don't do it - Everybody stays with the old keylock.
2) do it - but charge a little bit from those who want to have it. Everybody else can still use the current keylock.

You only pay for what you really want, unlike with a bundled update like you propse
:-)

Cheers
Karl

Everyone has differing opinions, but I can simply say "Thanks, Karl." I don't mind pay for a few extra goodies now and then...especially at the rate of new features/functionality/software releases that's flying out of Serato HQ.

But seriously, Dude: you HAVE to get the whole Day Mode added, and the missing view modes from Itch. It's been 14 months. Pretty please?

Thanks for the updates and keep up the good work!

I Karl

I do not mind paying if it would give me 6% pitch range. this gives me or not?

Understandable, thanks for the reply. Tell Mike May I said what's up and we need to catch up.

Check it out here, from the NAMM show floor: www.djtechtools.com

Sounds good to me. So glad the second guy moved the pitch. That first dude wasn't moving it to the proper pitch to get a sense of how PnT has improved the Keylock. Yeah, I'm sold.

Nice....can't wait to add this plugin. Would have been nice if we could purchase it now and test it during the beta period...

^Agreed

I'd be curious to see how this stacks up against Zplane2

most likely very well....

checked out the homey big wiz at the rane/pitch n time demo inside namm.. I'm sold, this makes me super happy :)

This is awesome news, is serato planning on incorporating the ableton bridge in serato dj?

Basically, what I've been told by a Serato employee via email is that The Bridge is pretty much done…but they're playing around with some concepts that may come down the road in a future version of SDJ. If (IF) this comes, it will be "much better" than The Bridge in its existing form and would be rolled out to SDJ (but not SSL, as that's on its way out).

I have no idea what those concepts are that they're working on, I don't know when they're coming, and and I don't know if they ever will come. Just letting you know that The Bridge appears to be dead at this point, and something much better may come some day.

I was commenting on how happy I am with the Pn'T plugin, and asked for them to please work on the SP-6. They commented back stating that the SP-6 was indeed on the radar to get some love. I've always wanted it to be an inclusive system like Traktor has. So I am totally looking forward to seeing what they have in mind.

i.imgur.com

Yeah, SP-6 needs some SERIOUS lovin'. Can't wait to see what's coming in that regard. I'd like to see The Bridge replacement launch, as well as see them fix the large database issue, return the missing Itch view modes, bring Day mode back, and get the stability a little better. They do that, and I'd be completely happy with SDJ. Anything on top of that would be icing on the cake!

Yeah, I would like to see daymode back, but it's not a priority. I love how the GUI looked when you engaged daymode and the OSX's negative contrast feature. It gave everything this Orange, Green, and Purple look to it...loved that shizz! Though, who knows what SeratoDJ would look like with that combination.

But DayMode is important for outdoor events, it's a pain otherwise. You can use the invert video function but that is only useable when not doing video.

WAVES MONEY AT SERATO!! Thank you!!!!

Hi Karl,

Any discounts for existing registered users of Pitch'n'Time?

Thanks

Whoa, haven't seen you around in a minute. I figured the news of Keylock might do the trick.

serato.com

First off Thank god!!!! I can finally use keylock. Second, I own multiple mac book pros(1 main and 2 for backups) and I would like to know if I would have to purchase the plug in for each laptop??

You can not use the plugin on more than one computer at one time. However, you can only activate the expansion pack on 2 computers. You will not need to buy multiple licenses. They stay on your Serato.com account, so just sign in and activate :)

If you dont want to use it on a current computer anymore, make sure to deactivate it in the MY SERATO panel, or else you could breach our terms of conditions using the plugin on multiple computers at the same time.

Regards

Twitch support? How great would it be to NOT use the clicked dials but rather do this in a similar fashion to the fader FX?

hey guys, since the announcement of this, the biggest question Ive been getting is it going to be a CPU hog?

I know we REALLY wont know until some versions start getting tested by people in the field.

but do you already know if this may, or may not be a potential hurdle for users with computers teetering on the line of cpu power/Ram

My guess is it will.

I happen to notice this weekend at Namm alot of the units from all the camps (rane, pioneer, Relood) were all running pretty CPU intense just for 2 deck playback on SDJ.

which begs the question, if they didnt implement a cpu meter on the GUI would I ever have noticed? lol

i understand pitch n time dj is coming out on the same day as the 1.6 release, which is in feb...

does anyone know what day in feb though? 1st (tomorrow)?

No one knows...I'm not even sure Serato knows the exact day it's going to release just yet. I know they have internal target days, but it all depends upon how well the beta is going. They're not going to intentionally release broken software (at least I hope they won't). They're confident enough that it's shipping in Feb, now we just need to wait and see when that is.

And yeah, I'm just as impatient about it as anyone! :)

my guess is valentines day. lol

I think it was on here Serato's web page about P'nT DJ where I read Sam Gribben (Serato founder and CEO) say that this is the culmination of literally years of work and wasn't easy to do. Elsewhere on here (the Serato forums--maybe even this thread), another employee said they've gotten it to where P'nT DJ isn't "that" processor intensive.

This was something that took time and has been on the Serato DJ roadmap for quite some time. Kudos!!!

Explains why my macbook pro has been getting hot when using the beta

Hello Serato,

I have an SL4 and use either my window7 laptop or my Mac to play, I plan to buy one FX pack and pitch-n-time plugins with the 1.6 release, will my plugins work on both instance of my Serato DJ install (the win7 & the Mac one)? (as long as I'm logged in)

Thank you,
Cheers.

Ok it was answered just above, nevermind my question, waiting for the release, make it ROCK SOLID as always please, thanks and keep up the good work!

There you go again,complaining on another thread...dude you either can't mix or Nudge/pitch bend...stop with the whining...go practice.

If you're that unhappy,switch to something else 8% is all good.6% isn't gonna fix your horrible Transitions

Hope you have the latest Beta,CPU issue was fixed a while back

LOL

Hi eric-a,
You can not use the plugin on more than one computer at one time. However, you can only activate the expansion pack on 2 computers. You will not need to buy multiple licenses. They stay on your Serato.com account, so just sign in and activate :)

I have no problem paying for certain updates i.e video but for a feature that has been crap from the start I find it a joke that your charging for it,

also since pitch and time was around before scratch live how did you do such a bad job to begin with I mean thats one thing that should have spot on from the start as its a area you were highly regarded in

I'm no software engineer, but I imagine implementing the monster that is Pitch 'n Time in to a real-time DJ application was no small feat, so I'm happy to pitch in gas money

Bingo. And also, remember that Pitch 'n Time Pro is almost $800 > store.serato.com

We wish it was as easy as copying and pasting a few lines of code!

10 years till you even release a update to the keylock, how do you not find that a joke?

it's now february....

which day in feb can we expect this beautiful little gem?

my 29 dollars is literally burning a hole in my pocket.

and there are still 27 more days! Don't fret teknobeatno, the 1.6 update and Pitch 'n Time DJ will be available very soon!

Hold tight :)

i've a mixtape deadline coming up and there's one transition that needs one track at +4% and the artefacts begin at +2%! (ok, i could easily go back and change the tracklisting, but i can't be bothered. hahah)

i hope it's sooner than later man! :)

there already rushing the 1.6 update out to make the pioneer ddj-sz release date,
just take a look at the beta area

Pull that one track in to Abelton?

How about right now > serato.com

;)

Boom! you got my money!

My ears are extremely sensitive to digital audio artifacts so I bought this rightaway, and tried it immediately with a couple of difficult tracks.

Verdict: to my ears not as good as what I can get with Elastique (granted, I never had the chance to try Elastique in real-time so who knows).

Nevertheless, this Pitch'n'time plugin is LIGHT YEARS AHEAD of the regular ITCH/SDJ Keylock.

I still hear "something's wrong with the sound" when going over 6% pitching, but I'm pretty sure none of my customers would. And I almost never go over 4% anyway, so for my usual DJing this is a huge improvement.

*Heaving a sigh with ease.*

Just upgraded. Won't be able to really put this through its paces until late tonight, but I'm looking forward to testing it intensely tonight! And whether it still has artifacts or not, I'm thrilled to have this available…ANYTHING is better than what we used to have on the old Serato key lock!

Actually I think it's really great, read my comments there
serato.com
serato.com

I kno this is totally differnet to what you guys are say take nothing away from what these guys are doing at serato I love it but I just hope that 1.6 can handle a large library I personally like the ideas and the new features but sorting out the large library problem would be more important and great work to the serato team a big thumbs-up.

No large libraries have not been fixed yet.

No large libraries have not been fixed yet.
Ain't that a bit**

Hello,
Can we demo the Pitch 'N' Time plugin before purchase. I'd like to compare the sound of this Keylock against the stock Serato Keylock.

---> www.djtechtools.com

Forum member SeriousCyrus (serato.com) has put up a comparison too. -> soundcloud.com

Can someone who uses a dvs style setup please throw up a 2 minute video of them performing some basic scratches while using pitch in time please.

Not good.
You say the original PnT is almost 800 dollars and compare it to this, yet i see NONE of the original functionality of PnT pro.
I know it was hard to implement, but now that you have the code ready, it wouldn't be as hard to add a bindable pitch control to the plugin.
Come on serato, i really don't want to be the guy who says "traktor has had this for years" but..... traktor has had this for years..
And it would truly be a godsend for live acapella mashups.

Who knows, you could also do key detection and writing in the metadata!

I know you guys can do it :D
please? :)

I have a feeling pitch n tim


This...

Thanks for the demo links LJ_WOOLSEY and WarpNote. This sound is reminiscent of the "Phase Voc" algorithm. I can get similar results at 100% Pitch Range in the stone aged Traktor 3.4.1 up to 30% up and down which is pretty impressive for an older program but the new Pitch and time seems to go right to 100% up and down which is excellent. I just wish it was offered as a standard feature.

I'm actually pretty shocked at how well it works!

@ Culprit/SiRocket,

I'm testing with my NS7FX because I don't have a 6x series or SL2/3/4 yet.

I'll see if I get a chance to throw something up.

100%? I don't have such values available in SDJ... You sure?

Click on "Range".

+1 for a scratch demo

+1 for pitch manipulation

I just did a quick test on my NS7 because I don't have DVS hardware for SDJ yet.

soundcloud.com

I'm aware of the range settings, thanks. But the max I get has always been 50%. Choices are 8%, 16% and 50%. Is it hardware dependant? Or are you guys saying "100%" as in "2 x 50%"? (50% up + 50% down)

Trick: relative pitch. It enables you to go down to 0.

Down to 0? More and more confusing to me. For me, "0" pitching refers to the standard, non adulterated pitch / playing speed.

From there, you can go 50% up and 50% down.
Not the same as "100% up and down".

If by "0" you mean something else than the standard playing speed, can you explain?

My bad, I meant a speed of almost 0 rpm, which equals to -100%, if 0% is the regular playback speed.

You cannot achieve "almost 0 rpm" with the SDJ pitch faders.
Have a little experiment:
Take a 120BPM song and set it to the lowest speed you can with the pitch faders.
What BPM do you get then?



This is mathematical nonsense. You need to revise what percentages are, and what percentage increases and decreases actually mean. No offence intended.

Thank you Quartz, I am still unconvinced on purchasing this product until we get a demo similar to this

Watchwww.youtube.com

I don't need anyone to post a side by side comparison, but just taking pitch n time and manipulating the record fast, slow, really slow, baby scratches and such.

Actually, nik39 is correct Wizzu. He was saying if your track is at its regular playing speed, the pitch would be 0.00%. Using relative pitch, you are able to go +100% or -100%.


Yes, with relative pitch you can. Which would be -100% and almost 0 rpm.

Hello,

I just bought the PITCH N TIME DJ, installed and activated over the right to use not see the difference between what was already in my Serato and DDJ-SX, my pitch continues varied only 50% and not 100% like the video demonstration. I did something wrong or not this plugin and all hardware?

Any ideia!?

Uhm...

dl.dropboxusercontent.com <- click

Now what? ;)

Only certain controllers are able to do a native +/-100% pitch range. All other controllers max out at a 50% pitch range. This is a hardware decision and is decided and implemented by the hardware manufacturer, not us. The Reloop Terminal Mix 8 is able to go +/- 100% pitch range, as displayed in DJ TechTools video demonstrating Pitch 'n Time.

Regards

Hi Scoot S Thx for reply,

ok but this information should have been said to us users, bought relying on the video you saw on the internet plugin, and install the same not found difference between what I already had in my SX.

Is it possible to cancel my purchase

Why? PnT does not enable you to go below +/-50%, it has nothing to do with it. And they never announced it like that. It just makes it sound better *if* you use such extreme pitch values.

If you want to go to bigger extremes, you can always use the keyboard to adjust the pitch even furthermore. Even down to 0bpm/%/rpm or -100%pitch - whatever you want to call it ;)

As I said in my post above, that video was posted by DJ TechTools. Not us.

Scott S,

Enable below +/-50% DDJ-SX make by KEY LOCK.... and I do not think it's a hardware problem because the Traktor pitch the Sx ranges from 2% to 100% and crei this is done via software or not?

I agree that the video was noa Serato, but also was not clear to the users that would be a limitation of only + / - 50%.

I just think you guys should add this information to prevent more users to purchase as I think it's like in the video.

Gu3d3s, did you read my comment?

Thanks for the clarification, which answers my original question

Hi Wizzu, sorry I missed that question! Yes, max pitch ranges are hardware dependant :)

For example, the Pioneer WEGO was only designed to have access to one pitch range, so it is limited to +/- 8% only.

Cheers :)

Which as you stated is available only with certain controllers, so my original question to DJ Gabriel made sense.

This is now clear to me.
Which means I can't help people who'd like to know how pitch'n'time would sound with their controller, since with the DDJ-SX I'm stuck with +/-50%.

Now. As far as stating that it's mathematically correct to say that -100% of 0% can mean anything at all, well, this is baffling to say the least.

Actually what both you and TechMate really mean, is that you get close to 0RPM by setting -100% *"of 100%"* (not "of 0%").

The original speed is always 100% = 0% at the fader (which means 0% of pitch change)
Then from there, if the original is say 120BPM:
-50% of these 100% results in 50% (1/2) of the original speed, i.e. 60 BPM (one octave down)
+50% of these 100% results in 150% (3/2) of the original speed. i.e. 180 BPM (one fifth up)
-100% of these 100% results in 0% of the original speed. i.e. 0 BPM

Do we agree on this? :-)

I wouldn't like to give the impression that I find it frustrating. Actually I almost never drift further than -3% to +4% anyway. +/-50% is already overkill for me. :-)

Not entirely.. sorry! :)


Yup, no debates there!


Hmmm not true.. Relative pitch is disabling the pitch slider while in SYNC by holding the Shift modifier. All Serato DJ controllers are able to do this. If you are unsure what relative pitch is and how to do it, check the Serato DJ manual.


+/-50% pitch on the faders yes, but you are able to go outside of that range with relative pitch or using the keyboard as nik39 suggested.


Which is possible on any Serato DJ controller. With or without Pitch 'n Time.

Hope this clears things up. Not trying to riot :p

Regards

You must have missed the posts. You can use the keyboard to go beow +/-50% on all controllers, just not directly from the controller itself, as Scott has already confirmed.

About -100% vs 0%... I actually said 0 at first, and you did not understand. So I thought you might understand the -100% relative pitch better. ;) Don'T blame me, man ;)

@ Culprit

The point of my quick demo is I had PNT enabled but if you notice the Drake beat is not playing at it's original tempo.

I did that for a reason because of the bass line in that particular beat. I also cut on the vocals and beat to show that it disables correctly for scratches, backspins, etc.

PNT disables when you scratch just like the original keylock but for a spindown it would time stretch.

That is the one thing I forgot to do at the end, apologies for that.

Correction, it would not timestretch.

However the implemention on DVS would be a little different so if you did a motor off on your turntable it would timestretch as it spun down I think.

Which was the only part I was asking if we agreed on. And we did. :-)

Yes, I indeed missed the point that you can use the keyboard to go over +/-50%.

Actually since I started using Itch last year, and now SDJ, I never used the keyboard for anything else than the [ctrl+F] function, the spacebar function, and entering values in fields. I don't like to DJ on the PC itself so I never learned the possibilities of the keyboard shortcuts...

You seem convinced that I was supposed to understand. But what does mean a number without a proper context? I did suspect that you meant 0RMP but it wasn't entirely clear from your post, so I asked. But then your explanation really made no sense and made things even less understandable.

Next time consider using the relevant context by usiong a label (0 RPM / 0% of pitch change) instead of just a number, it will avoid lots of miscommunication. :-)

I agree, that numbers without units can be misleading and are inaccurate.

However in this case the context was very clear. Esp. after you have asked that question about whether it is possible bla bla. That's why I left out the units in the first place. ;)

Yeah, right. Seems to me you'll always prefer to imply that I'm stupid or that I lack lack good will, than to recognize that your explanations were blurry.

Your use of "bla bla" here, in this regard, is interesting. Does it bring anything to the conversation. It just sounds like you're only trying to pick up a fight.

Weren't we trying to discuss the Pitch'n'time plugin?

bla bla was just because I was too lazy to type everything and to formulate, no pun intended. Really.

However, I still think the context was clear, and it seemed to me like you were nitpicking where it was not necessary. ;)

Back to topic.

On DDJ SX ITS SHITF AND KEY LOCK TO GET IT UP TO A 100% hold on shift then press the key lock botton so it goes up to 8% 16% 50% and 100%

Hi dj t-money,

Thx your reply, but I know the combination SHIFT + KEYLOCK and my Serato it just changes to: 8% - 16% - 50% use iltimo firmware 1:07 and serato 1.6.

is there any configuration that I'm not doing right?

Why Traktor with any Pioneer goes from 2% to 100?

not look hardware dependent to me

estou farto da vossa conversa SERATO.......

The devices/controllers are "dumb". You move a slider, it will sent a message "slider moved by amount x direction y.

What the Serato moderator most likely meant with "hardware dependent": Depending on which Serato DJ supported hardware you choose, you will get different support. Some of the Serato DJ hardware devices support 50%, others 100% pitch range. [and possibly other values]. Most likely you can change this in software, but if that is not something the hardware manufacturer wants... :(

Do you have a special firmware? On my DDJ-SX and my buddy's, there is 8%, 16% and 50%. Not 100. The manual doesn't mention 100 either, only 8%-16%-50%.

My DDJ SX doesn't offer +-100%.

Wizzu, but why do you need it? The pitch is by far to coarse at such ranges, and you can get to these values easily by using the relative pitch. Do you know how it works?

Er.. when on earth did I say I needed it? I already stated that even +/-50% was overkill for me... you and I really, really have a communication issue, lol... :-)

I was merely trying to show that dj t-money's comment was misleading (and plain wrong as far as I know).

Sigh, it sounded like you wanted to have it. But obviously you were just trying to be right and to prove a point, eh? ;)

Hello,



Simply play, there really is not need more to do, but for performace and effects is an interesting and welcome feature.

What actually happened was a lack of understanding, as in the videos I saw implied that the range 0-100% could be done on any compatible hardware.

If this is a function that depends on the hardware serial which the solution? a new firmware? or will a correction in software solves? I ask because in other Soft DJ, this function exists in any DDJ, and in any case you guys Serato has more power to solve a, is asking for a new Pioneer firmware or upgrading the SeratoDJ, not agree?

Dj Quartz are your mic and aux in working ?

You know what, it's not working.

ok its not just mine.

guess i'll have to hack my pnt plugin to get it to work on 1.5.2. suck shouldn't to do this with something that you paid for

I'm putting in a help request and you should as well.

It only works with 1.6 and up!! That was very clearly stated before it even came out!

Let us know how that turns out ... ;-)

My thoughts exactly... ;)

What is your avatar, WarpNote? I've been trying to figure it out for a while now, with no luck.

Hehe, whats your guesses so far avenger?

It looks somewhat similar to the the Aphex Twin symbol, but I know it's not. Honestly, I have no friggin' idea, LOL! I've looked at it from all different angles, and can't come up w' anything.

struggling to get serato dj going on my windows 8 64 bit 17...is serato dj compatible yet with windows 8

Funny, I've heard the AFX reference before, and I have a lot of his music, but yeah as you said, that was unintentional. Have a look at my face avatar -> media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com
Especially the eyes, I do a lot of motion graphics and visual work, makes sense?

Ahhh, that's cool. I remember when you used that Avatar. I never made the connection. Though, I never paid that much attention to the older one either. It's not as though I would stare intently at your face, haha. Any way, thanks for ending my frustration. Good stuff, man ;-)

Actually its a punk rocker having his way with a bunny rabbit. Lol ;)

whoa, I totally see that. the punk rocker has a mohawk, right?

LMAO

What about having the ability to change the pitch/key of the track - when will this be available? It's the only thing stopping me move over from Traktor!

LOL!!! I see that also. We're sick ... ;-)

LOL! ;-)

This is not currently available with this release of Pitch 'n Time DJ, but we would love to do this in the future :)

Regards

I dont believe windows 8 is supported yet.

just wait for windows 9...

Bought Pitch n' Time, but it's not showing up in my expansion packs. Any ideas why, please email me at [email removed], or leave message for me here.

Thanks in advance.

Are you sure you are using Serato DJ 1.6 Faatha's Muzik?

Pitch 'n Time will not show up if you are using 1.5.2.

It runs like a dream ;-)
Tracks sound so much smoother than they did with original key lock.
THANKS SERATO
+1

P'nT DJ is AMAZING, Serato. THANK YOU so much! Would definitely love to see the ability to use it to change the key of a long independently from the tempo as well!

Loving SDJ 1.6 all around, Serato. Kudos and thanks again!

Hello, I bought P´nT DJ, and have the 1.6 version of Serato Dj, i have a Pioneer SX and i can see in my setup the P´nT Dj is enable ,but when I start the session,my pitchben comes only to the 50% as always been,could you tell me why I can not comes to 100%.
I have to say i´m still use Mountain Lion on my Mac.

PnT has nothing todo with your pitch range! It is a key lock!

Yah search the forums its been discussed

Thnks for the reply. But how can i activate this….

Activate what?

The P'n T Dj…What happens is that I have done everything and still only shows 50% .
And works only up to 50%…..Maybe I should do something, but I do not know what is.

Because your controler only supports 50% pitch again this hasNOTHING todo with PnT

@Maxito

DDj-SX only have 3 opitions 8% - 16% and 50% this hardware limitation and not PnT

Aha…!!! Thanks a lot.!!!

how can it be hardware limitation if Traktor and DDJ-sx has 4%, 6%, 8%, ... 50%and 100% options.

This is a SERATO limitation.....

Thanks Rhadesh, good to know about Traktor ,i did not know of these limitations,Serato should say which consoles can not use this extension,(P´nT), now who will return my money ?
29 dollars…. :-(

Are you retarded? Pitch and time HAS NOTHING TODO WITH PITCH RANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The pitch range is the same it has always been since your hardware was released!!

When Serato work with there hardware partners they come together to choose what features they want/dont want. Serato said 100% was not chosen by pioner for the sx.

Im sure its something they could add in time and if there was the support to!

To be fair... Have a look at this short description:

i.imgur.com <- click

"Pitch 'n Time DJ
Speed up or slow down your track to extreme levels"

This sounds very misleading and does not mention the improved audio quality of keylock or similar.

I would call 50% extreme heck even 10% is compaired to the original keylock lol

And are people really needing to mox with tracks pitched more or less than 50%??? Yeeks!

That's not the point.

The point is that from reading the words above ("Speed up or slow down your track to extreme levels") users get the impression that PnT offers to ability to pitch up and down extreme levels ;) While in fact nothing changes in terms of being able to pitch up and down. Except that it will sound better now with PnT.

It can be easily misunderstood.

I guess that is the reason so many dumb ass questions about pnt keep getting asked then!

Yes i agree serato best to change the wording to suit the not so cleaver people.

Why in the hell would someone want a refund on a $29 PNT ??? Like there's a better alternative.

^Oh I'm sorry, I forgot "It's the PRINCIPLE". GMAFB !!!

This is really highly vague...

serato.com

And a few other posts. People seem to think that they can extend their pitch range with the PnT plugin.

They should add * at the end of that sentance then at bottle of page *depending on what piych range your hardware supports.

No, they should tell what the customers actually get.

"Make your pitched tracks sound awwwwess00000mmmmm333!

+1 haha and boy it does!!

Hello

I have bought x2 Cdj 2000 and DJM 900 can tell me how to connect with rerato dj, in the simplest way.

thank

you need an interface, or a Serato supported Mixer.
serato.com
or
serato.com

total N00B question but how the hell do it install it?

(already running SDJ 1.6)

i've just tried the serato webiste > expansion pack > PnT... then on that page - nothing. just an embedded soundcloud track showcasing PnT's capabilities, but can't find anywhere that says "download" / "install" / "pay USD29".

i've also tried opening up SDJ > Settings > Expansion pack... nothing.

i feel i have missed something that is apparently obvious to everyone else...

ignore me. i've found it.

*puts on cone hat and sits in a corner*

lol glad to see you figured it out tho!

Can You Make a video showing how to set it up ?

Dead easy...

Launch Serato in offline mode (as in, don't plug in your controller) > "online" (online button found in bottom right hand corner of SDJ main screen) > "buy / activate" > enter your SDJ log in details > scroll down to PnT > hand over USD29.

Once done, it should automatically be activated.

You can double check by...

set up > expansion pack > pitch and time DJ > make sure "enable Pitch and time DJ" box is ticked.

Then you're done. It's an under-the-hood update so that's it really.

by the way, it's a really good purchase. my ears were able to pick up sound artefacts at around +/-1.5% with certain songs that has plenty of mids (songs are either 320kbps mp3s / wav). Usually they start artefacting at +/-3%.

Now i can go right up / down to 5% and not hear a thing. (haven't tried outside of 5% really). It's a great add on. Can't wait for you guys to actually enable key shifting as well though ;)

I use Numark Mixtrack Pro II and I still have the same range (+/-10%) as the normal key-lock feature though the quality may enhanced I am however still not able to change tempo past the normal range. Is there something I'm missing or is it a hardware thing...?

If the nixtrack only has 10% pitch then thats all is has nothing is going to change that. P&t is just a better keylock.

Man I'm laughing my ass off reading some posts...
My hats off for the serato techies...Any music lover can hear the difference...it's like night and day...if a DJ does NOT hear the difference he's should ask himself if he's worth being a DJ or maybe he's just spinning shit that won't make a difference being sped up or down. Or maybe his musical senses are gone beyond a state that he should not deejay.
Any DJ complaining about a 29 dollar investment which makes a huge difference is probably also wearing some shitty 20 dollar headphones and complaining that his ears hurt.
Believe me...if you cannot HEAR the difference you should probably LOOK LESS at your beautiful quantized waveforms, sync buttons and your multicolour que points and LISTEN MORE to your music being played at a higher or lower pitch.
And by the way in this last 1.6.1 update they included internal video recording FOR FREE...I would have paid more than a hundred bucks for just that.

I like this dude #nh #nm nice!

Serato, If you give me HID support for CDJ 900 nexus in your next update I will buy pitch n' time

how we can change the pitch +_8 to +_50?

Hi sujithnp86

In DDJ-SX you use SHIFT+TEMPO RANGE for chance 8=16=50%

Txs a lot

Will pitch n time work on a i core 3 processor? from what i can see from the Serato minimum specs are for i core 5 machines w which seems daft for all serato Dj users who have i core 3 machines.

You just answered your own question!!! Well done lol

It works pretty well on my Pentium 2020M computer.
BUT this computer is heavily optimized with all unnecessary background tasks and services deactivated, and nothing else running than SDJ and Foobar2000.

If you have other programs running, a "standard" Windows or Mac installation without power tweaking, or if you use Itunes: forget it, an i3 won't cut it with Pitch & Time.

Hi eddreco,

Minimum specifications for Serato DJ and Pitch 'n Time DJ can be found here > serato.com

We do not support computers that are below the minimum spec, however you may still have some success running the application and using Pitch 'n Time DJ on a slightly lower spec computer.

For best performance we always recommend you get a computer that exceeds the minimum specifications.

Kind regards,
Scott

........the search continues....................

On my Numark CDX, they have a unique function using the pitch control feature and the key lock feature......

Sliding the pitch control can change the pitch of the key note in a song, yet it will also change the tempo/bpm as well. The unique function is that when I enable the key lock feature, it can lock the new pitch of the key note but will not lock the tempo/bpm.

The key lock feature in Serato DJ does not have this unique function and my Numark CDX is not a Midi controller.
Does Serato "Pitch 'N' Time" DJ have this unique function in it's software/expansion for use with my equipment?
