The very latest update to Serato DJ is now available, 1.7.4.
If you own a Pioneer DJM-850, 900NXS or Allen & Heath Xone:DB2, DB4 or 43C you will now be able to plug and play with Serato DJ using the Serato DJ Club Kit. Find out how to try this out.
Beat Jump, a new feature to Serato DJ that allows you to instantly jump forward or backwards in your track by a pre-determined amount, perfectly in time. This feature is great for giving yourself more time to mix, jumping straight to the hook and skipping that slow section in the track.
Video Master FX, is a new feature for Serato Video users. This lets you apply video FX to the master video output rather than per channel, giving you another powerful and simple way to add interest to your sets.
MP3+G file support AKA Karaoke file support. Everyone secretly loves Karaoke.
Serato DJ now supports multiple languages! We now speak German, Spanish, French, Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese.
We've made some important improvements to CDJ response when using HID mode. DJs who like to scratch will notice the differences here.
You can now disable the needle strip search feature on controllers that have this during track playback. This is something the community has been very vocal about so we're happy to offer this!
If anyone remembers the "buffer king" easter egg in Scratch Live, we now offer an "EQ coloured waveforms" option in Serato DJ. Enabling this feature will cause the waveform colour in Serato DJ to change, reflecting your EQ changes. This is only available for controllers and MIDI enabled mixers.
Other changes and improvements:
- Audio improvement when fast scratching with Pitch 'n Time DJ
- Improved delay compensation adjustment for Serato Video
- Improved pitch knob resolution for Akai Pro AMX
- Beat Jump mappings for all hardware with grid and parameter buttons
- Multiple colours in HOT CUE mode for Numark NS7II
