How do you do it?

Shouldn't even be able to do 4 bars, the max is 2 bars (8 beats). There's 1/2, 1, 2, 4 and 8 beats. Unless your tagged BPM value is halved or doubled (can't remember which ATM), then it will half/double the number of beats looped. The auto looping is limited right now, but I'm sure will be improved upon later to allow for 4 bars (16 beats) and 8 bars (32 beats).

come on, could anybody be so kind an just tell how this works? Or are you just makeing fun of everone?

Not making fun, but it's fun watching people trying to figure it out. Tap tap tickety tap.

lmfao .. gotcha! didn't know what the easter egg was but posted this as a test to see if it was in fact the auto-loop.. now to trick someone into telling me how to DO it.

haha good one djaction

Bastards! j/k

i dont even have the auto loop function and im running the 1.7 final...
wieeerd

Don't know if you got it but it is a easter egg that is hidden in the program.

h i d en in wh i ch ve rsion?

w el l.. . ... a tle as tt he ne wes ton e!

1.7 final

you can crack the easter egg and get auto looping by simply pressing the following commands. :-)

UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, LEFT, RIGHT, RIGHT, SQUARE, RIGHT, SQUARE, RIGHT, SQUARE, enter

lol

where is its you assholes!

OMG! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! BriChi!! You were a little off though you have to use the relative mode keys I and K.

The contra code works in serato! Apparently these guys have a sense of humor!!!

Just have to enter it with baby scratches:

UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, K, I

LOL

i thought that endedwith the Ctrl,Atl,Deleat combo at the end on the pc's. and a apple,option, esc on macs

These threads remind me of the herbie kid in school who wouldnt let you cheat off their tests.

are these guys fucking with me or does this really work

im pretty sure it works. otherwise why all the threads.

i am so confused its sickening.

lol..... i gave up on figureing it out.....i tried everything

Ok If you don't believe me about the Contra Serato Auto Loop easter egg heres a screenshot:

i71.photobucket.com

lol

*eyes closed while scrolling to the bottom*

(whisperin) bump

WOT?

completely baffled!

video.google.com

MUHWAHAHAH!!

Jesus christ, stop being dicks and somebody share it. This is ridiculous if some of you know it and won't share it. Screw helping any of you who are withholding it. Thought we were supposed to help each other.

Ha ha nice video Konix

grrrrrrrrr..... now im startingto get frustraited.... I normaly can figure crap like this out..... but not this time... someone.. anyone plz give up the secret!!!

Yeah, seriously. Come on, that's fucked up!!!

these guys are starting to piss me off. and james, i can't believe you didn't give up the goods homie? how does it work?

freakin awesome!

can u do another one with hip hop or electroclassics

I'm pressing like every fuckin combo of buttons on my laptop and nothing!!!!!
James, come on dude. Spill it. That's what you're here for!!!

it's probably in the user manual and everyone is just laughing at us for not reading the manual.

can you do another video with "mc hammer - turn this mutha out"?

thankx i'm new

That was pretty dope! Care to share how it's done? Where is the manual located?



May all who withholdeth, experience system crashes of epic purportions...

LOLOLOL I second that.

i've seen some e-thuggin in my day but e-voodoo? that's a first. that cracks me up tho!

muhahahahahahahaha muhahahahahahaha muahhahahahahahahahahahaahaha (in best Dr Evil voice)

The secret keyboard shortcuts are only half of it.



Nope, not in the manual.




Don't hate me, blame the sneaky Serato programmers for putting it in there (j/k guys ;)). There's more than enough hints in the other thread to figure it out. And no, it's not any of this up up down down left right Contra code stuff.

It's so easy, I cant believe you guys didnt catch IT yet..

honestly the best part about these threads is the contra codes DO work and do unlock an easter egg.. and 99% of the people don't even try it; thinking its bs!

grumble >:-/

That's it, i'm trading in my serato for torq, f all this with holding information bs!!!!!

I say we boycott serato until the truth is revealed. How can you mess with your clients like this. Very unproffessional.........

lol.....

I'll give a huge hint.. "alt" is in the sequence.

I don't have time for this...YO give up the combo or stop talkin about it....

my prob is.. i have gotten too frustrated looking for it to be able to figure it out!!!!

I think i screwed up some of my tracks because I pushed so many buttons. Doesn't traktor have auto looping without all this hidden secret bs, hmm, I think i will check their forum out. See what they have too offer.........

you dont want to go there.... they have auto looping.. but it takes like 10[20 mins per track of prep time to get it to work right (you have to map the beat grid for the track to get it to stay on beat right)

the easter egg is just an easter egg because at the moment it's not really a fully fledged feature... more of a hidden toy to show what is possible. Auto looping will definitely be included as a proper feature in 1.8 though...

I'm thinking of posting a similar vid like Konix... actually as another hint I'll say "look" at the left side of the screen.

Ok, but can you fill the rest of us in on how to access it?

Well the easter egg has absolutely nothing to do with the up down left right select start. And it's not a key combination.

What's that supposed to mean? :)

It took you more than a minute to set up a beat grid on Traktor?

Where would the fun be in that? This way it gets your to play around with your unit until you find a surprise.

on sometracks.. to get it right... the ones that have tempo changes in the middle of them (break downs) and thengo back to original tempo

Right, it's an easter egg. They're supposed to be hidden and hard to find. That's what makes them even more fun.

Just getting frustrated because I'm starting to wear the lettering off my keyboard over here with all this playing around.

I hate all of you!

I see that he's in INT mode. and the loop light is on.

and the out light keeps going on and off as the loop resets. Soo maybe he's hitting alt k or alt l. I don't know, I'll go try everything later and if i find it I WILL tell you all.

NEGATIVE

And that loop light always flashes when the loop is active

I was only in Internal mode cause I was sitting in a chair with the camera between my knees. You can do it in Relative mode also.

I'll give y'all another hint. There's two parts. The keyboard shortcuts don't do anything....until you actually "unlock" the easter egg ;)

ok...... even more confused now...... o_O

I don't want to ruin anybody's fun so it's up to other forum users' discretion to give / retain clues. I'm staying out of this ;)

Alt and something else?

That was a really funny read!

Thanks for the entertainment CMega...

Are you being serious?




















crybaby.........I haven't figured it out yet, but I think this is fun.

Yeah its fun...
but frustrating at the same time
Im usually good at this stuff but since there are some real clues mixed in amongst joke clues its hard to tell sometimes

patience everyone, we will get it sooner or later

I feel like a dog chasing his tail ........ çΩΩ®

i48.photobucket.com

ooooh konix you bloody tease, the video was bad enough
lol ;)

Ok here is another clue... everything I said was a clue before wasnt! lol!

Yes I was joking... It'll eventually come out!

The "cookies"...

Well i guess i will join in on the guessing.....in my opinion i think the cookies is referring to the Scratch Live Dotted logo.

video.google.com



Good guess, but no.

i got a few cookie crubs on my keyboard and followed them... does that count?

crumbs*

Konix, how did you stumble upon it?

Does this work with the 1.7.1 beta 1? (sense thats what i have been using to look for it!!)

Err, not at liberty to say really.



Yes.

dude just tell us how wtf..

It's in your scratchlive.net cookie that is downloaded when you signin to this forum. lol!

Okay, I've gathered a bunch of clues. Not sure which ones are valid or not.

Cookie Crumbles
Tap tap tickety tap
2 bar 4 bar 8 bar
"cookies"
2 parts, have to unlock something for it to work

Internet cookies,
Follow your nose, tucan Sam.
Tap those BPM

Patience is a virtue. That you will need.

ok.. i noticed in the vid that the waves are in horizontil.. does it have to be like that to get it to work?

You have to Tap morse code spelling out "cookie".

^^^^ already tried that.. didnt work.. lol

so you have to activate the hiden cookies...... does this mean there are more then just the loop one?

No, it works in vertical view, I just prefer horizontal waveforms on my Macbook cause they fill the whole screen.



Haha, noice.

Maybe you have to baby scratch out the moris code to "cookie" :-P

lol.. i even tried making a mic recording and naming it cookie and played it to see if that did it............ Maybe its was b/c i said Konix bites balls into the mic it didnt work :-P

I like to play around with my unit until i get a surprise. Its lots of fun.

LMFAO!!!! i bet it is.. just dont get any on the keyboard!!!!

Not even close. Making it way harder than it really is.

lol i know.. but i have been trying everything

someone please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please give us more hints on this!!!!!!!!

yeah realy!!!!!

Just give it up already so i can get some sleep

Cant sleep...............



Must find it




Must keep going





Must not give up







must have another beer

Tap Beer?

no.. bottle.... I quit one of my residencies yesterday.. so i have thursday nights off for now... relaxing at the house

Reminds me of the old Tapper beer video game.

www.basementarcade.com

you welcome to come and get one.... if you give up the secret of the auto loops!!!!

It's a bit far for me to come...

I definitely recommend the tap.

lol...... well bribery was worth a try!!!!!!!

i think i've tried everything. about to give up.

you so you guys know, disturbed is not the only one here on the tip of his chair.


(and my first forum-post here is a fact, hooray!
now, let's celebrate with sharing autoloop-secrets, no? )

WELCOME!!!!

Ok been trying to get figure this out for hours...... come on... let the cat out of the bag!!!

Welcome jahrun. What can I do for you? Something on tap perhaps?

So no one, has answered on any other threads when is 1.8 coming out. I've been waiting for autolooping now for over a year, requesting the feature patiently. Unfortunatly I do not have time for riddles either.

TAP TAP TAP..... but how to tap it to make it work.... still cant get that part

1.8 will be out when it's ready as it's still under development (especially considering 1.7 just got released).

Oh man, that's just wrong James ;)

well, i'm from belgium, so we basically have stuff on tap that apparently makes tourists pass out after 3 drinks.

so the autoloop function will be fine thank you :)

I have tapped in beat, as fast as i can, slow as hell, the whole song a few times... still dont get it

Getting warmer though...

After you unlock the toys do u have to re-unlock them after you close serato?

Yes.

hmmm wth i just unlocked it like a second ago now i cant redo it... lol

Yeah you got to unlock it every time time you start SSL. Doesn't take long though, once you know how to do it that is ;).

heh....... Got it unlocked now..... now to conroll it??

well.. i think i have it.... but i never saw that at the bottom of my screen...... but it will do activate both the in and out b4 i even start a song... and it didnt do that b4.... but i cant get it to do anything but that

Almost there....

hmmmmmmmmmmmm... does that mean i need to tap more kegs?

or learn what fingers to hold the stien with?

bah.... im done with this for now... need sleep..... hpefully someone will figure out if what i'm onto is right or not by the time i wake up!!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

same boat cant figure out the keys....

does this have anything to do with the keys

O
P
[

?????????????????/

unlocking the toys doesnt involve any use of the keyboard, but after u unlock the autoloop im guessing u have to use certain key combinations which i have no clue what they are.

so i got tickty tap to show up,now what?

keep going

what do you mean by tickety tap

i got to nearl there!!!!!!!

keep going

doh, don't know the rest. hint pls

lol just keep doing what u doing

oh ok

i unlocked it, he hehe

for the rest ur on ur own, cause im clueless lol maybe u can help me out if u figure out how to use it ;oP

forget it, i give up, no use in this crapo thing majiggy!!! I'lll wait till 1.8 comes!

and no-one will play good samaritan ?

I really think it's retarded that people are holding this over everybody's heads. Some people won't ever figure it out and all you're doing is frustrating them. I didn't think that was what this community was about. If you want to figure it out yourself, don't read the rest of this post. For those that do, scroll down.






















































To unlock the thing, just keep hitting the bpm tap button over and over. Eventually, you'll get little messages at the bottom of the screen saying different things, until, finally, it'll say Congratulations!

As far as the functionality, I havn't figured out how to make the actual auto looping work. I'll post it once I do, holding it over peoples heads is sort of obnoxious IMO.

Ok, more spoilers......






















































Alt+1 for a 1 beat loop on the left deck, alt+2 for a 2 beat loop, alt+3 for a 4 beat loop, alt+4 for an 8 beat loop, alt+5 for a 16 beat loop as far as I can tell. Same for the right deck with 6-0. Now you guys can go to sleep without wanting to tear your hair out.

I think it's a bit insulting to people to hide posisbly useful elements of the program away behind cookies.

Pong yeah, fair play nowt to do with DJ'ing but Auto loop? sorry thats a bit wrong to have to unlock it - taster feature or not.

and thank you michael basic :)

Hey, it's not an official feature yet, that's why it's hidden away - completely isolated as to not impede on any performance or stability. It's definitely not there to insult or annoy people. Plus, you forgot the trancifier. Alt-T/G

yeah sorry james i realsie the cookies not meant in that way. i just think the whole shebang and the peeps with holding how to unlock it in this thread is a little annoying.

I haven't even had time to install 1.7 let alone sit and fgure out cookies, so i'm sure there's lot of people that need this feature and would be chuffed to use it even in this limited functionality form.

What´s a trancifier? Can´t translate this word with my dictionary?
Nothing happens, when i press Alt + T or G

Does your song have a bpm set?

Ah Man, most of you on here have no sense of adventure. I'm a little bummed that the egg's been hatched so soon. I liked messing about with it, trying to figure it out, listening to everyone freak out (myself included) trying to get this mystery solved.
And besides........



Now instead of a bunch o' kids shouting to skies "how do I get this thing to work?", they're instead going to be shouting on this forum about how it doesn't work properly, and why is it taking so long for an official release........ugggghhh!
























Basic - you ruined my fun! If you wanted to 'spill the beans' you should have made a new thread entitled - "Spoiled Egg"

Yeah,but made it with Mixmeister, not with Autobpm.

But what should happen by presing Alt-G or T?

The crowd will go wild.

You of course have to unlock the easter egg first. Alt-T to start it, Alt-T to pause it, loop to release.

Ok, now it works. Thought, that i had to push ALT-T again and again to make the loop shorter- that was my fault. Thank YOU

But i think there could be some improvements to the ALT+T function. Can i just open an issue in the public Beta forum or shoul i just write here, as you don't want everybody to know about?

Ok, i'll start here: You can hear steps of decreasing the length of the loop, not in the beginnung, but in the end, it would sound much better if this would slowly shorten down but seemlessly...

Yeah, that was going to be the next thing to do with it...

You can do it by hand also:

start with 8bar to 4 to 2 to 1 and then press P and then decrease the lenght with the left arrow-key.
I mean this function the move the loop-end-point forward and backwards manually. That works also

But if you do that, how do you wave your hands in the air while the crowd gets pumped up into an orgy of pure musical exctacy when you press Alt-T on your favourite rap/reggae song?

I do have an assistant pressing the keys for me...
Or i´m waiting for SSL Midi support...

Now I see how Scratch Live, affects the lives of a common Dj...I just feel it's to soon for the easter egg to be cracked...

Now it's on give us more of those easter eggs......

thank you dj Michael Basic...

James, edit the cookie revealing out of here!!! It just ruined the fun.

actually, when tapping the BPM, you have to aim for 101

once you activate the tap part, just hold down the space bar, the key repeat will bring you up over 100

yes, way up over 100, but you need to aim for 101

Not on mine I don't, I think it just has to reach 101 or any number over it. All I do is press alt+spacebar, then release and hold down the spacebar until the bottom reads "congratulations........."

hmm, i should try that :)

Let's just not talk about it from now on. Who reads the middle of long threads anyway? :P

i figured it out in a dream last night and when i woke up and tried it (mac by the bedside) it was wrong.

Yep, I can hear it now also.

There's another hidden cookie ..... this one simulates 3 click orbit flares ....




Have fun unlocking that one ...

i unlocked the video playing cookie

MIDI is in there too...

*hint: setup

thx michael. thx for the teaser too konix. dope feature, ssl team. keep up the good worx.

LoLOL!

Some people just love to kick the fire just as it begins to settle.

you need the 57 to make it work right though.

For the 'Best of 2007 Awards' i vote for Michael Basic for the 'most disburding post'.

lol

Y'all don't even want to know how to unlock the MIDI easter egg, if you thought the auto looping was tricky....

lol

up,up,down.down,Left,right,left,right,M,I,D,I

No longer do I hate you guys, thanks Michael, you are the man.

Sorry for the 4 people who's fun I ruined. I realize you were having a great time at the rest of the forum's expense, but I don't care much about that.

Konix was like a mother bird, putting a worm into their mouths then yanking it away lol, Thanks Michael

Thanks Konix for the videos as well!

I thought we werent supposed to tell? You will ruin the fun for the others!!

Oops, my bad.

Yeah, they made for a fun/frustrating night last night. Good looks.

When I use the T command the beginning of my loop jumps forward

yeah i niticed this too.. it does not set the begining on the "T" command right where you hit it.. it sets it a few beats b4

Like i said before I've been waiting for the feature for years now. Thank you thank you thank you! Even in the preview form, it rocks!

Good lookin Mike B. Kickin ballistics for the frustrated masses!

Contra was the shiznit!

What you know about Ikari Warriors? NERD ALERT!

Good lookin out MikeB!

oh! what you know bout gettin in the tank at the same time!!
ABBA FTW!

*Sue Teller* Wha Whaa?^^

Better ask somebody about: Driving on the water in Spy Hunter!

World -1 in Super Mario Brothers?

Or getting stupid men if you jump on that first turtle juuust right.

Anyone ever play Bloodstorm in the arcade? It was the sequel to timekillers. A streetfighter type fighting game. Cool thing was it had 9 hidden characters you could fight. Almost every level had a different trick to fight a different character, and to really beat the game you had to beat all of em. Took me years to figure it all out, but I beat it damnit!

The code to go straight to Mike Tyson.

R-Type was my shit!

bunch of nerds

007 373 5963... i always remember that shit! haha

Damn I should have put that in the PnT Haiku thread.

For some reason i can never forget idspispopd.

i like the easter eggs. Keep it old school. I mean djing is serious but come on. I think hidden features are dope. its cool to talk with a fellow serato user and tell or get told from him/her "did you know about this?" I mean it just makes life a bit more interesting.

Well, he wasn't really holding back... He was giving hints galore! I just don't think he wanted to be the one to, flat out, spill the beans.

Thanks Konix & Mike Basic!

This is a sweet feature! Nice little gem Serato Team! Thanks! :)

hmm - ive got it unlocked and can use the alt keys for loops - however cant get the alt t/g working.. what should i be seeing / shout be doing to get that working? ive only just woken up, so if im missing something stupid just tell me :)

oops - realised you need caps lock on / use shift as well! sorry!

this shit is dope!!!! did it last night at my gig the other dj was baffled ha ha.

James,

Is that from Doom? I don't think I ever beat that game without one of those cheats

IDKFA - ALL Weapons

IDDQD - Immortal


No matter how long it has been I will never forget doom codes haha

Yeah, Doom 1

noclip is my most frequently used single player cheat to this day.

Doom 1, running on Windows '95.....Can't beat it! Although it comes close to Duke Nukem haha

Will DN3D run on XP? I think I am going to load it up and try. One of the most fun games ever. Hands down...Shake it baby

haha, this thread took a left turn somewhere... anyways.. back to the subject...

yes, there is a version of Duke3d that does run on XP. There is also a high res pack that of course..duh.. runs in high resolution and alot of the sprites have been remodeled in 3d; however it did run pretty crappy on my computer (Athlon 3800+ 64 X2; two 7800GT 256m, 2gig ram) I guess they have to optimize it to run better.
Check it out here, hrp.duke4.net

Now the real question.....can i run Duke Nukem and Serato at the same time hahahah!!!

THAT is a deep cut! The one I always remember is for Metroid: "JUSTIN BAILEY" in the top row and all dashes in the second row.

I'm a huuuuge nerd, ain't you heard?

ok i cant get the auto looping to work for me. how can i get the auto looping to go i read through this thread but no luck

holla

alt+hold down spacebar

Fuck that tappin shit.

Are you sure you went over each step carefully?

I'd like to send out a special thanks to the cats that cracked the egg and posted it.

Yes, special shout out to Konix. Incredible how he found it.

Konix, you nasty boy!

yea it said at the bottom "you u have unlocked bla bla bla" so i followed dj gaffle steps.
i couldnt get it goin. i tried serveal times.

I read to much and put way to much thought into it. open SSL - do not load a song - put the pointer over the BPM tap thing, I maybe clicked once and then hit the spacebar 20-30 times not caring how fast and soon I saw at the bottom "tap tap tappety tap" -> keep going on the spacebar till you hit Congrats....

It's so easy it sucks to think I was trying to tap 101BPM and all that other shit...

^^^^Worked for me, go back and re-read the steps maybe there's something you missed ?


Love this feature can't wait for the official version!

the key to remember is it's keys alt+1-5 for left dek, with alt+t, and alt +6-0 for right deck, with alt+g, and you have to do the trick each exit/restart

and alt + t for more fun.

Is pong still part of the new version? Still runnin 1.4, thanks I'm new.

yes it is!

Also, remember that the auto looping only works for tracks that have a bpm set.

This easter egg has ruined my way of drumming on Serato (If anyone really gives a rats ass, it would be nice). I can no longer reverse when drumming cues, because the alt cant be pressed to reverse while hitting cues. Is there any way the Serato-etts can make the reverse button somewhere else? the key next to the 1?`~ Key? Serato-etts?

i've actually been using the censor button alot, to remove parts from a song while in int mode, but not words, it's hard to explain, but it's almost like a 1 hand 1 table juggle, with the mouse in int!

yah, but the reverse was dope with the cues, cuz I could pause between hits to create my own patterns. Oh well. Can't do that no more. Unless they make an adjustable pause button, that would be fresh.

So which keyboard shortcut are you using with alt? Not censor obviously...

got it goin that thanks guys helped me alot. keeps my mind of the passing of a family memeber of mine

I want to use reverse while im drumming cues (using alt+e or d)
But with the recent autoloop feature, I cant tap the reverse via alt + e or d while hitting cues because I would activate the auto loops instead. If you could hear the chopped up drumming I could do with that technique, you would know why I am bummed that I cant do it anymore(it was dope!). Anyway to implement a pause button instead?(seeing as you probably wont change the reverse button placement)

Ok so I figured out that you have to tap the BPM button, but I've been doing that and nothing has shown up on the bottom. Am i doing something wrong? Please help.

REREAD this carefully and follow it...

Ok, So im a little slow and never even realised there was a hidden egg. But it was great to find that you guys had all argued it out and eventually it was discovered!!! ha ha

My question is.... in konix's vids how does he go from the the 1 beat loop and then make it snare faster and faster???

I can manage to go through the loops using the alt (1-5) and alt (6-0) but the snare thingy has got me.

And what is it that the alt t and and alt g does exactly?? I tried pressin it but it does nothing from what i can gather. Much appreciated

Cheers
Pozzi :)

it does exactly what you are asking about---->

ahhhh ok cool. Will have another play and see if i can get it to work. I been pressing alt t and alt g till i was blue in teh face. it just didnt seem to work. Ill keep trying and hopefully get it right!!! ;)

Thanks for gettin back to me Rob - low

Btw, it is control/open apple+hold space bar to unlock the egg in about two seconds (after initiating tap)

Actaully, you don't even have to hold alt or apple key, just hold the spacebar down after first tap.

Word Konix, you had me goin crazy with that video, like "No he did'nt!

Kool DJ Sheak One, i'd love it if you could film/record what you are talking about and upload it to a common sharing site, for the rest of us to see what you mean. Just the key combo/patterns you are talking about, perhaps, using 1.6.3 since you canm't do it in 1.7.x, or is it only AFTER you have done the ticky tap trick that you are unable to use the key combonation?

Ya. Shit man. I have been waiting for keylock since I chucked my Final Scratch. But I have been honing my drumming skill on Serato since 1.3. using reverse buttons and censor(a two handed affair!) I can't do it even if the egg is'nt activated. I knew something was up 1 minute after installing 1.7. I just did'nt know they were reserving the alt and cues for the old dirty auto looping.

I guess i should just go back to 1.6.3 since it actually saves my loop/cue points. And I should make a video. Good idea, so I can show Serato what I lost for this stinkin auto loop/tracifier thing.

How many of you are actually going to be using the "Trancifier" more than once in your life? Shit is kinda corny to me. Gimme my reverse back dammit!!!

make sure you updated to 1.7.1 RC1, it will fix the loops/cue's not being saved. But yes, please make a video/screencatpure/audio so we can all see! i'm sure something will get worked out, serato/rain seems pretty dope at listening to it's users, even if it's just 1 little one :P

autoloop, even in this implementation, is great. It's way to much fun to use.
I have to say the trance-function thing is hilarious as well.

i unlocked a brandnew ttm-57sl )))

Ok ... I can't seem to get this part of it all to work. What am I doin wrong ?

I couldn't get the trancifier to work with Alt-T either but Alt Shift T/G works a treat ;-)

ALT-T (upper case T)

aaaaah right, that'll explain it.

I dont have the caps lock on......

nice one !!

Noice Juan !

WWQD? - What Would Q-Bert Do? He's shared all the secrets he knew so others could learn and in turn teach him something. Look how the art has grown since then. We should do the same here.

DOPE ASS looping thanks for the clues~!

Takes some $$ to do that

they shoulda left that keylock as an easter egg instead.

" The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides with the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon those with great vengeance and with furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know that my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee. "

This one is for all you bijaches who don´t want to share this cool thig with the rest of us , and finding that funny thing. You bich ass selfish mf***ers. I´ll post a word.doc later with instructions to the rest of you guys.....

I think it was selfish to post the secret. You just took away everyones fun from finding it. You stole their feeling of satisfaction... especially since there were about 50 clues to lead you in the right direction.

mexicannnnn, lets say that creater of napster find out the way to alove evryone to have napster , but he was the only one who could download mp3 ? How would you feel ? Or any groundbraking thing. When you find something that can help others you share it. That in my opinion is bigger and better joy then leaving clues and finding the " right direction ". So i still thing you and the rest who knew the secret but didn´t want to share it, are iggnorant sons of bitches, and deserve nothing but bad things happen to them. So from me to you, you find something cool , you share , otherwise you shut the fuck up and don´t say anything. That goes for any selfish fucker here...

Maybe the creator of napter would make it so easy to figure out that he knew it needed a very minimal amount of intelligence to unlock. He/She probably thought that if they were not intelligent to figure it out then he didn't really think they were intelligent enough to be able to use the program in the first place.

Anyways you think I was selfish for holding back... I think your selfish for killing peoples fun. Your one of those lazy guys who want everyone to do all your work for you. I'm one of those guys who like to solve problems and be happy that I know I solved it.

Like that last line wasn't the biggest clue of all time...

John Nasty, please be calming. It's all good to express your opinion, but please do so without getting abusive. Rule #1 here is "be nice to others".

i have a paypal account drop me 3 monthly installemts of $19.99 and you will be enloghtenend...


















































siiiiiiiiiike! use what yo momma gave ya!

What if my momma gave me 3 installments of $19.99 ;-)

You wanna talk about clues? How about this for reading comprehension...

I didn't see a SINGLE post "clue"ing me into the fact that people wanted to figure the thing out for themselves so they could gain satisfaction. I did see a ton of posts asking to be told how to do it...I took those posts as clues that people wanted to know, and didn't have time or ability to figure it out themselves. When I saw what a great feature this was, and how it would be something that could immediately make your sets cooler, I decided to share with everybody. The clues told me it was the right thing to do, and if you're looking for more clues, I don't see a single person posting telling me I'm a jerk for ruining their satisfaction with regards to figuring things out themseles.

All I see are a bunch of thank yous, and then there's you...so if I ruined YOUR fun but made a bunch of other people happy...I'm glad...hows that for a clue.

Lol...

And BTW, thanks again Mike Basic

Here's one person:



Hows that for your argument....

Hi Im new

would like to know the secret

thankx!

Actually why dont you scroll up and read all the posts. Find how many times people said it was "fun" looking for it.

^^ That was for Basic.

In both my posts I gave spoiler warnings and left a bunch of space before the secret was revealed...anyone who didn't want to read the spoilers didn't have to...and you're right, I missed one single person out of all these people thanking me who's fun I've spoiled. I weep for his fun, and yours...no wait, I don't.

do you have to do this everytime you open serato??

i had to redo it a couple times... so i guess it just doesn't stay active since its not a real feature right?

Yup everytime.

I hope Serato keeps including easter eggs/preview features and next time, I will PM the dude that knows the answer. This time around, I didn't even know there was an easter egg to look for! Maybe I don't spend enough time reading the forums.

Hoping for a midi easter egg in 1.7.2 Public Beta. ;-)

me.

thanks.

:)

\o/ \o/ \o/

mexicannnnn, let me put it this way ; god forbid you got some nasty health problem, and some scientist find out the cure for it: now, would you like him to share his " secret " or let you spend unneeded time to find it out by yourself ? It´s not the same , but we are talking about " i know what you don´t , and i am going to make you go insane untill you find out " ? For me , i figured it out with the " tapping the BPM ", but i still find this whole thing stupid , and lame.. As i said , we are here to share knowledge and experience , not mocking.. But i guess , some people share , others are selfish. For me being lazy ,if i was, i wouldn´t be sitting every day after work with my friend , programing, and finding the way to controll auto loops with midi , not just loops , but cuepoints aswell. So if the 1.8 don´t support MIDI , and we find the way to do it , trust me , i´ll be the one sharing that application with the rest of the forum, but i guess , you would never do such a thing, wouldn´t you ? And before you say , that it´s not posible , bla bla bla , it´s just programing and coding , which i happe

Damn this f/!&"%! forum, for not being able to remove or edit your posts. anyway , it´s posible , and i´ll find the way to do it =)

John, comparing life saving cures and easter eggs is a bit of a far stretch. I understand what your trying to say but you have to understand that there is self-satisfaction when people solve problems that aren't so obvious.

It's a good feeling knowing that you solved a problem!

... and I don't doubt you will be able to map midi to cue points, loops...etc. There are programs that map midi to keys (midi-stoke?).

If your trying to map midi directly to button click events in serato that would also be pretty cool as well.

ok, resurrecting this post.

i unlock the auto loop and use it during my set. i unplug the usb from my laptop to the SL1 and play a vinyl, so that my partner can use his laptop/crates with that same SL1 box. I don't close down serato, but when i re-plug in later in the night to play my second set, the feature is gone and it won't let me unlock it again.

anyone else having this problem? just restart inbetween sets?

You have to unlock it each time. Remember... it's a Hidden Feature.

i hardly ever shutdown my laptop or close serato between sets or gigs and i'm not seeing this problem.

that's what i'm saying. it won't let me unlock it cause i haven't shut down the program. should i shut it down and re-unlock it each time?

i have the easter egg unlocked. it stays unlocked until i shutdown serato.

even if you unplug your usb from your cpu?

unless i'm compltely crazy, yes. works between sessions, between gigs. at least that's what I remember.

haha, ok thanks. i'll mess w/ it for a bit.

The key change easter egg is also pretty cool.

huh? ^^^^

There he goes again...don't worry guys, it's not real, if it was I'd figure it out and spoil it again.

Yeah, it's working pretty well for an unfinished feature.

and here we go again

It's pretty good quality, much better then TDJS.

Mike you wont figure this one out, its not as easy as tap tap tap.

Hell yeah. I love this "unlocking" stuff!!!....it's fun.

Lame

um, a quick question. is the length of the loop determined by the bpm as a whole number as shown in ssl, or does it take into account the decimal places too (wich are stored in the tag anyway, is there a concrete reason for not showing the decimals?)

yes.. there have been several disscussions about that. For alot of us it gets way too cluttered in the browser area of SSL when you add the decimal places. And the decimal places are not needed to mix b/c you use you ears to mix.. not the decimal places (but im trying tofigure out a way to not irritate my earlobes while mixing :-P ) The loops.. from what i understand.. in 1.7.2 use the decimal places. The decimal places are to make the loops and effects (on the 57) alot more accurate..

how come i can't turn my easteregg back on?!? I unlocked it awhile ago and when i tried to use it again it was gone....thne i tried unlcking it again and it wouldn't work?

I know it was addressed earlier, but, nobody replied how to fix it?

Anyone?

dose the auto loop work on 1.7.2?

Yes it does. And works even better as it uses the decimal BPMs, so it's more precise.



Remember, you have to unlock it every time you start SSL. Do it first thing before you even load your first track.



If you scanned your track with 1.7.2 for the decimal BPM, then yes it will take the decimal into account. As mentioned, it makes for more precise loops.

what TF auto loop????

Someone holla back with deatils!!!!


PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

Uh, the answer is above in this thread, in DJ Michael Basic's post.

dude im looking thru the thread and all i see is wind ups

wtf?

Nicky,

With no track loaded click on the tap bpm button. Hold down the space bar till you see the words Congratulations.

Alt+1 for a 1 beat loop on the left deck,
alt+2 for a 2 beat loop,
alt+3 for a 4 beat loop,
alt+4 for an 8 beat loop,
alt+5 for a 16 beat loop.

Same for the right deck with 6-0.

THen theres something with ALT+T that i dunno how to use.

ALT+T (left) or ALT+G (right) makes a stutter loop, it keeps cutting the loop in half until you get a buzz type sound. That, in combination with a power down, sounds pretty cool.

Normally I don't think there's a 16 beat loop, only 1/2, 1, 2, 4 and 8 beats. If you have 16 then your BPM is halved or doubled, not sure which exactly at the moment.

can i asign this loop function to the panel in the 57?

ahhhhhhhh. Thanks guys.

safe guys!

thanks so much

Easter Egg in Serato 1.7
For those of you who are using 1.7 already, there's a hidden feature. Auto looping is in. You can set a loop of 1, 2, 4, 8 or 16 beats. Here's how:

When you open up serato, before loading a song onto the deck, click the bpm tap button 100 times. As you go you'll start to get little messages at the bottom of the screen. Finally it'll tell you congratulations.

Now, hold down Alt and use the number keys to set desired length loops. 1-5 for the left deck, 6-0 for the right deck. Experiment...it's pretty dope. If you wanna make that effect where you get into loops smaller than 1 beat, just once you get down to 1 beat, hit the "out" button so that it allows you to reset the out point, and use the left arrow key to make your loop smaller. You can then bring your loop down to a stutter, then hit the loop button to turn the loop off and let the song play again. This can create some really cool effects.

Also, you can use alt+t and alt+g to start a loop that starts at 2 beats, then keep cutting itself in half automatically.

For any of this to work your tracks must be BPM-ed.....you can do it manually....even half tap song BPMs then write it into the BPM colum....MUST BE ACCURATE!!!! or it will be out of beat!!

Mess around with it...this is the death of bore ass limp dicked juke-box lame make me wanna shoot my left nut off fake djs.....lol use it with care...with great power cum the bitches on the dancefloor...WET-PANTY DEM!!!!!

has anyone used this live at a gig? dont want my shit to crash for using some hacked shit.

Yeah Esco, it's safe to use bro...

I crack that egg right after I start SSL every time... ZERO issues.

same

?


So the Serato developers are hacking shit? news to to me.

Don't be such a batty boy,.............use that shit.

well it wasnt there to begin with so thats why i asked. good shit.

Ok so check this out boyzzzz....I use the Transient thing... Alt-T....ok Now, how to I stop it?? I've been Hitting Alt-5 to start the 16 beat loop to get out of the whining buzz, and then hit Alt-5 again to stop the loop...is there an easier way? And why the hell does this go a half beat back when starting the loop?

try hitting "[" for deck 1 just like you would do to turn off a regular loop

Nice cut and paste of my post on the Vinyl Breaker's forum DJ Danny Vasquez.

ha ha ha busted... It's a small small world

another one for ya!!! Why is the Transient loop starting about a beat behind?

It's broken right now Sniffles. That's partially why it's still an easter egg...nifty to play with but not 100% ready for the unwashed masses to use yet. It still has a few hiccups.

O, I thought it was like that to grab the loop you missed. It seems like When you hit the Alt -T/G, that is were the loop ends....Am I Right??

can someone explain the alt T/G thing please?

^^It just get a loop and each time it plays the loop get shorter until you end up with like a stuttering effect

Alt and T/G (make sure there are caps)

safe dude!

Ill check that out tonight!

This thread gave me a stomach ache back when DjAction made it. I wish it were deceased.

LOL.....MIKE BUSTED ME....I OWN UP TO IT......BUT IM GLAD ITS OUT THERE AND YES ITS SAFE TO USE IT LIVE.....KEEP ON PRESSSIN' ON SSL JUNKIES!!!!!! MAY THE HACKEDGE BE WITH U!!!!!!!!

yea seriously...i feel like this forum is a bunch of little kids. If you wana fuck around like you're 10 go make jokes on a video game forum. Admin can you please shorten this and get the b/s out so we don't have to read it all - thanks

be thankful this thread even exists..... or you wouldn't even have the egg to play with.

I always have at least two eggs to play with :-D Poor man if you don't even have one.

At that point I think they call em Eunuchs..................But yeah it's a sad affair.

anyone see the 1.7.3 with the "djam" feature....fades the track title to black, so no one can steal your shit.

anyone? hello?

Shhh, we're sleeping...

Is it in beta yet???

yes!! its in beta!!

It srealy great autoloop but just wish the loop lengths were twice of 4 time as long as they presently are .

you can still make them by hand

yes.

trancifier..............sweet!

thanks..james great clues!!
