thanks titom......

but i have to ask why serato could not of done this for us? i already own pitch in time and really feel like serato let us down big time so not cooooooool .... stop burning your bridges a lot of us been with you guys for amost a decade now

Hey Guys,

Radikarl has done some killer mappings and his Pitch Play approach has been really popular as a workaround for hardware that does not formally support pitch play.

I actually worked with the team who implemented Pitch Play for all the controllers with suitable pad layouts in the 1.9.6 release. We didn't leave out certain hardware just to spite DJ's or make people mad!

We started with a big list of all supported hardware, narrowed it down to a list with a full 8 performance pad layout + 2 parameter buttons and a shift layer and worked from there. Unfortunately we had to cut the Reloop NEON and the DDJ-SR both because of limitations of layout, lighting etc, It wasn't a decision made lightly and I'm happy to explain in more detail why we couldn't do the mappings just lemme know.

Hope you guys are digging the other improvements in 1.9.6 regardless,

Cheers,
Sam

Hey, there's 4 different xml files in the "update" none of them made my DDJ-SR behave any differently from normal.

I press "Shift+Roll" and I just get access to saved loops as always.

What gives?

Oops, I got it.
For the noobs to Midi mapping make sure you pick Pioneer DDJ-SR as a MIDI device and click "Allow Serato Hardware Remapping" before you load xml.

Yeah its great that Radikarl took the time to keep serato users happy, shame on you guys for making that be the case!!! as ive said in many posts time and time again serato doing what they think is best ...we need it on some smaller controller which we take to gigs

Yeah, I'm curious too because nothing seems obviously different from looking at the pad section of the SR compared to SP-1, and SX. What's the major difference that caused this to be not a viable option for Serato to integrate?

Hey AndrewRivas,

The DDJ-SR was developed with a number of special pad modes implemented for that device only. Pioneer did a lot of work in firmware development to make these unique pad plus modes. Because of these features there were major differences in behaviour that were not possible to work around solely in mapping. A few of the problems;

• When Pitch Play mode was entered there would be no pitch play lighting on the pads until a pad was pressed, the pads would look like they were in sampler mode. This is because,
• On the DDJ-SR, unlike newer controllers, all pad mode toggling was handled by firmware not software. Meaning when a 3rd pad mode was entered (pitch play mode) the lighting would be out of sync as the firmware was only aware of 2 pad modes.
• Also since parameter buttons are controlled by firmware we cannot display pitch range on them making it a rather dire user experience, combined with pad lighting not updating.

Best regards,
Sam

Thx for the explanation!

Kudos to titom44dj for making this mapping... I bought PNT and then found out there was no mapped keys on the DDJ-SR. Hell, I had to find out through Serato support about this. Hats off!

Hi, is this still working in Serato DJ pro?

I’m interested since I own a DDJ-SR for mobile purposes and idk if buying the expansion will be worth it.

Also I dont get what ‘the first hot cue point will be in 8th position’ first pad will be the last one for hot cues then? 2nd will still be in 2nd place?


Thanks

Hi JositoDJ

I think it will work but i can't test, i didn't have this controller yet.

But i've got a SZ2 and my MIDI map still working between the 1.9 to Serato Pro

The same mappings are available in Serato DJ Pro as in Serato DJ, think of it as an upgrade to your software rather than a new bit of software :D

Just upgrade to the SR2 it has pitch play. Less hassle. Sell your old SR unit they are years old.

Cant see much improvement, is pitch and play included with the purchase? Just needle search would be cool for me to have, other than that is the same

No sir it comes with pitch n time i have it😉 youtu.be

Do yourself a favor and sell the SR. The SR2 has more features and does indeed include pitch n time expansion with the SR2. It’s a great upgrade. Only wish it had jogwheel indicators for juggling but not everyone needs that and can always get creative and add a sticker marker on the SR2 for those purposes. Peep the demo. youtu.be

I preordered mine and got it for $100 off. $599 was total cost. I never pay full price most online retail shops have the hookup👌🏼

Yes.

No, I tried with my DDJ-SR and it doesn't work. Why?

Hi !

I have a DDJ-SR. I tried everything you said but it doesn't work. After pressing shift + roll when I touch the pads the tempo is not changing (still the same). Why?
Thanks in advance for your reply.

What is the reason for the neon not being supported

Don’t think pitch play will work on the SR. It’s the SR2 that has pitch play.

The original SR came out in 2013 when pitch play wasn’t featured till SDJ 1.9 i believe

Need pitch play for the reloop neon. Was gonna do radikarl map. But i just realize another serato downfall. I can only mapp one hardware at a time.
My primary budget controller has already mapped out to my desire. Just pitch play i wold want on the neon
