Serato DJ: 33/45 rpm buttons on main interface

beetsforweeks 1:15 PM - 10 August, 2014
It would be so nice if Serato DJ had the 33/45 buttons on each deck in the main interface like Scratch Live had, not hidden in the settings menu.

I found this was so good for scratching. By clicking on the 45 button I could slow my scratch record down like as if I had ultra pitch control.

Please add this! They could be really small buttons and really wouldn't take up space or add clutter to the interface. As a scratch dj, it's such an awesome little trick for slowing down samples without having an ultra pitch capable turntable.

wouldn't that speed the sample up (moving from 33 -> 45 speed)?

Nah it slows it down. Try it.

I have been yammering on for ages for this feature to return.
Caley Martin 1:33 AM - 10 January, 2017
Bump.

+1/2 i'd like to see it MIDI mappable, but don't care for it to take up screen space

Or at the very least a keystroke toggle.

Have you placed a feature request for this?
Caley Martin 7:08 PM - 10 January, 2017
Yes. Multiple times. I even spoke with Serato directly via a help ticket.
DJ Quartz 7:54 PM - 10 January, 2017
Oh snap... ok
Caley Martin 8:39 PM - 10 January, 2017
They seemed intrigued as to why I had wanted it back, given the usage scenario I had described... but also indicated that there weren't any current plans to change it back to the old Scratch Live style, short of a huge forum clamoring feature request.

MAYBE 2017 IS OUR LUCKY YEAR. ;)
DJ Quartz 11:57 PM - 10 January, 2017
Could be!

Don't you know SDJ is for button pushers and Scratchlive is for "scratch" DJ'sšŸ˜‰ lol kidding but don't expect them to add it back.

Shameless bump for 2018. Here's hoping Serato DJ Pro 2.0.x or 2.x can address this simple request!

At the very least a shortcut toggle switch for us veteran users!

Bump. :)

w000t ā€” you missed the March 2020 bump ā€” now Serato will never implement this.. ,-)
M.adaM 11:55 AM - 6 February, 2021
Another simple task that Serato dev team could not handle in 6+ years!

Why do we users got limited by the probably non-DJ dev team/leaders of the company?

Most of the dmc videos have a 33/45 change.

Most of the DJs these days using a controller and not too many uses DVS anymore!

Why is this soo complicated to implement?

So I finally made the switch from Scratch Live to DJ Pro since upgrading to a 2021 M1 MBP. I'm absolutely baffled and shocked this isn't possible. This breaks DJing for me. I thought there must be something I'm missing or there is a bug in 2.5.8 and those buttons are missing.

Why would they take that feature out? There is more than enough space for the buttons around each deck in the software. For certain genres like Jungle and Drum n' Bass I've always used 45rpm, but when I skratch to it obviously 33rpm -8 on me left deck. This is absolutely mind boggling they'd take that feature out, why?

This seriously makes me have to look at a different platform and is a deal breaker, sadly Scratch Live can't install on Monterey or I'd just use that. Mind BlownšŸ¤¦šŸæā€ā™‚ļø
Caley Martin 11:58 PM - 12 December, 2021
Iā€™ve been trying to figure this one out for years. Given up hope that it would ever return to the virtual decksā€¦

One possible solution. Maybe midi mapping?
Caley Martin 1:39 AM - 13 December, 2021
Wouldnā€™t work as itā€™s now a global setting instead of it being independent per deck (which was why it was useful).
Sporadik Styles 1:53 AM - 13 December, 2021
Correct. I already thought of that as well.

Yeah it might have to be scripted is what I meant. Hmmmm

Let me ask someone, this could be a work around if possible.
M.adaM 1:29 PM - 14 December, 2021
The only way it can be used is using turntables and Phase

But one needs a big and heavy sytem.
So it won't work on Rane One for example.

It might be available again..... in 2025, if the world still exists than....
Sporadik Styles 9:57 PM - 13 April, 2022
Bunch of new Jungle records arrived recently!

BumpšŸ¤¦šŸæā€ā™‚ļø
Caley Martin 5:01 PM - 15 April, 2022
I doubt this will ever happen since the SL boxes were removed from being supported in the software.

What does this feature have anything to do with SL boxes? I'm using a Denon DS-1 box with my M1pro and retired my SL2.
Caley Martin 5:51 PM - 17 April, 2022
That box is also discontinued. Sadly, they have no interest in catering to the DVS crowd any longer, they arenā€™t going to bring back a Scratch Live feature for a Denon soundcard that wasnā€™t even around when said feature existed.
Despo 1:13 AM - 18 April, 2022
Again, has nothing to do with all boxes. You could be using a DJM s11 or a Rane 70
