Professional Build Quality & Design  
Features  
A steel material is used for the top panel to achieve a robust design  
allowing the unit to stand up to aggressive performances, and an alu-  
minum material is used for the jog plates to achieve a high quality look.  
This adds visual enjoyment to DJ performances in such settings as clubs  
and home parties. Also, a rubber material is used for the controls and  
pads to provide not only a high sense of quality but also high operability.  
This unit is an all-in-one DJ system combining Pioneer DJ units that  
have earned a high reputation among professional DJs for their high  
operability with the “Serato DJ” DJ software from Serato. It is equipped  
with operating interfaces that have been optimized for operating Serato  
DJ. The interfaces are positioned with room to spare over the large body,  
allowing the various functions of Serato DJ to be operated intuitively and  
accurately. Also, this unit is equipped with the new “Pad Plus” function  
that allows for more individualistic DJ performances using the pads. In  
addition, a steel material is used for the top panel for a robust design  
allowing the unit to stand up to aggressive performances.  
“Serato DJ” Supported  
This unit supports Serato DJ, a DJ software application providing a great  
number of the functions required for DJ performances. All of this unit’s  
buttons and controls are preset to work with the software, so DJ perfor-  
mances can be conducted simply by connecting this unit to a computer.  
In addition, Pioneer has collaborated with Serato to jointly develop the  
“Slip” function.  
“BIG JOG”  
This unit is equipped with large jog dials for smooth operability, so users  
can scratch with the feel of an analog player.  
“SLIP MODE”  
This unit is equipped with a “Slip Mode” function with which the music  
continues in the background while scratching or playing loops, hot cues,  
etc. This enables DJ performances without changing the development of  
the original track.  
“PERFORMANCE PADS”  
This unit is equipped with large performance pads allowing the four  
functions of Serato DJ (Hot Cue, Roll, Slicer and Sampler) to be operated  
with dynamic actions (tapping, tapping repeatedly, etc.). The pads are in  
rubber, so they can be operated without getting tired, even during long  
performances. When using the Sampler mode, users can select one of  
four velocity curves to achieve dynamically inflected performances.  
“2-CHANNEL MIXER”  
This unit is equipped with a “2-channel Mixer” function with which the  
tracks playing on the left and right decks can be identified intuitively,  
making it suited for scratching. It is also equipped with the “Cross Fader  
Reverse” function with which the left and right decks can be reversed,  
so users can scratch in a way that matches their DJing style. In addition,  
the unit can be used as a 4-channel mixer by using the deck selection  
buttons provided in the player section.  
“PAD PLUS”  
This unit is equipped with the new “Pad Plus” function by which hot cues  
and samples can be rolled automatically in beat with a track’s BPM and  
effects and filters can be applied simultaneously with a single action  
by pressing and holding a pad to achieve highly individualistic perfor-  
mances. It also has a new beat indicator that indicating the number of  
beats, enabling accurate performances while watching the number of  
beats used with the Pad Plus function.  
USB BUS POWER  
This product supports USB bus power. It can be used simply by connect-  
ing it to a computer with a USB cable.  
#
#
HOT CUE ROLL  
SAMPLER ROLL  
Hot cues and samples can be rolled automatically in beat with a  
track’s BPM by pressing and holding a pad. This makes it possible to  
easily create sounds like drum rolls that were difficult to achieve with  
previous performance pads and to add individualistic arrangements  
to hot cue and sampler performances.  
HIGH SOUND QUALITY  
The audio output circuitry uses a low-jitter clock and high performance  
DAC to reproduce the original sound faithfully and achieve clear club  
sound. In addition, the sound quality technology Pioneer has developed  
with its professional series is used to achieve the industry’s highest level  
of sound quality for a DJ controller.  
#
#
COMBO FX  
Effects and filters can be applied simultaneously by pressing and  
holding a pad. This makes it possible to apply effects while reducing  
the volume and achieve performances adding inflections to a track’s  
development.  
TRANS PAD  
A track’s sound can be automatically cut in rhythm with the BPM  
by pressing and holding a pad. This can be combined with scratch-  
ing and other techniques to create individualistic arrangements of  
tracks.

The firmware version is not displayed when this unit is not connected  
to the computer or when this unit and computer are not properly  
communicating.  
This unit functions as an audio device conforming to the ASIO  
standards.  
Using the settings utility software  
This function can only be used by those using a Windows operating  
system.  
Launching the settings utility software  
Click the Windows [Start] menu>[All  
Programs]>[Pioneer]>[DDJ_SR]>[DDJ_SR ASIO Settings  
Utility].  
Adjusting the buffer size  
In the same way as the buffer size setting in the Serato DJ software,  
decreasing the value of the [Kernel Buffers] setting lowers the transfer  
delay (latency) of the audio data, while increasing the value reduces the  
tendency for dropouts in the audio data (breaks in the sound).  
The setting at [USB BUFFER SIZE (LATENCY)] in the Serato DJ soft-  
ware’s [SETUP] menu has priority for the buffer size. (The default setting  
is 512 samples/10 ms.)  
!
For details on making the settings on the DJ software, see the Serato  
DJ software manual.  
!
If the [Buffer Size] or [Kernel Buffers] number is made large, drops  
in the data (breaks in the sound), etc., occur less easily, but the time  
lag due to transmission delays in the audio data (latency) increases.

when the level/depth parameter is changed. When Version Echo is selected in  
particular, it is effective when used with the level/depth parameter set to “Level  
50” or “Level 75”. Note that when Version Echo is selected, the reverberations will  
continue indefinitely if used with the level/depth parameter set to “Level 100”. (To
