New Features available with the Pioneer DDJ-SR & Serato DJ
- Velocity Mode. Previously available on the DDJ-SX, this feature allows expressive use of the performance pads for SP-6 Sample Player control. The harder/softer you hit the pads, the louder/quieter the sound will play. This is particularly useful with drum samples.
- Pad Plus is a unique feature to this controller and opens up four, brand new modes to your performance pads.
- Hot Cue Roll - Hit cues and have them re-trigger in a range of beat divisions. Similar to a note repeat function.
- Transform - Hit and hold the pads to turn on a transform effect in a range of beat divisions.
- Combo FX - Gives you momentary control of Multi-FX with your performance pads.
- Sample Roll - Trigger samples in the SP-6 and have them re-trigger in a range of beat divisions. Similar to a note repeat function.
- Four decks. The DDJ-SR has dual-layer mixing controls giving you the ability to mix up to four decks on this two channel controller.
