I want also be able to use keyboard short cuts when I'm in another mode. FX or Recording. Not just being able to trigger them when I'm actually in the SP8 mode.

Dunno what you're on about, Scratch Live works exactly the same.

Yeh we use scratch live on radio to drop Station ID's and DJ intros and we have learned the hard way never to switch the bank when using a sample.. That issue has yet to be resolved..

SP6 is the same on all serato versions

In order to switch banks. You have to essentially unload the current banks. Thus if you are playing a sample and "eject" it, it will stop playing the sample.

It's like if I am playing a song on deck 2 and load another song into deck 2, then wondering why my original song stopped playing.

Exactly. There are only six sample players. They can only play one sample at a time each.

DJ Nerick raises a good point...it would be great to select a sample from any slot, without compromising the sample playing.

Yes we need this now, I like to keep samples playing even if I switch banks, on sp-6

a fix that needs to happen for sure.

Hate to bring up a somewhat old topic, but I agree. If you have a sample from bank A playing, it should remain playing when you switch to bank B.

Suggestion:
If slot 2 of sp6 is playing a sample when a different bank is selected, don't load slot 2 of the new bank. I recommend colour coding the banks as well so you know what bank is playing. It makes sense IMO

I have 16 pads (8 per left and right side) but can only use 6 (and mirrored) for the sampler. It would be nice to use any of the 16 pads with my preloaded ready samples at any given time than have 4 banks of 6 to switch back and forth. Kinda makes me not bother to be honest with the adding faffing about of arranging samples into groups per bank. If I wanted an off the cuff sample drop over the music playing would be a missed opportunity if I was on the 1st bank and my sample was on say bank 4.

Same here. I don't understand why it should be so difficult for Serato to make a sample player where you can use each bank and each sample of a bank individualli.

f.e: I have 16 Pads. 8 samples (Bank A loaded) on the right deck and 8 (Bank B loaded) on the left one. now i play my beat on the left 8 pads and add throw-ins or atmospheric stuff on through the left 8 pads.

This would make the samples player somewhat usefull.

At the moment i can only use SP6 for throw ins and sweep effects.
With individual Bank loading for each deck and a "save loop as sample" option you could remix whole songs with the touchpads and that would be awesome.

Can we hear a reply from Serato on this. This isn't isolated and many of us would like an answer. Any answer would do.

Bump

This is still an issue with the newest version 1.6.2

way to go bringing up an already prehistoric issue lol

You're DJing - not live producing or finger drumming.

Thats what Ableton & Traktor Sample Decks are for.

Theres a lot of ways to work around the limitations of SP-6.

If you have a 4 deck controller, why not load up your samples as a track & designate cue-points for your samples? Theres 8 samples you can play right away, combined with the 6 from the built-in sampler.. and that's only the beginning of what you do.

They aren't going to make it easy for you - that's what Traktor did & now look how many idiots are 'DJs' & how the community as a whole reacts to them.

WOW sooooooooo true!! I use Traktor just to use it. Never professionally. That being said I have always frowned upon Traktor users due to the automation and lack of need for human.

I had a friend who used to show up to his DJ gigs with JUST the X1 and his laptop. He used to literally place his X1 & laptop right on top of the TT or CDJ's..................... RIGHT ON TOP OF THEM instead of using them. How in the name of F is that DJing? Wayyyy to much automation. All you do with Traktor is trigger that approximate time when you want something to happen. You don't actually do it though. Not only that the software is the final decider of exactly when it will happen (down to the second) bot you.
