MIDI
The MIDI feature in Serato DJ provides the ability to remap Serato DJ
software functions to your primary Serato DJ controller, interface or mixer.
You can also assign controls to a secondary MIDI controller to further
enhance your performance.
For more information on MIDI mapping with Serato DJ click here.
To remap your supported Serato DJ device, open the SETUP screen and
click the MIDI tab. If your Serato DJ device supports hardware remapping it
will show up in the MIDI Devices list at the top.
Select your connected device from the MIDI Devices list and make sure the
“Allow Serato Hardware Remapping” option is checked.
Once checked, the MIDI assign button at the top of the screen will become
available for you to start remapping.
You can save, edit or delete MIDI presets in the MIDI tab of the SETUP
screen. Clicking ‘Restore Defaults’ will erase any custom mappings for all
connected devices and revert their functions back to default.
Download the Serato DJ software manual for further information.
NOTE: Official Serato Accessories do not currently support user remapping.
Hardware features that cannot be remapped at this stage are Jogwheels/
Platters, Input Switches, Shift buttons and Performance Pad Mode buttons.
Re-mapping any pad(s) in Hot Cue mode will also re-map the same pad in
Saved Flip mode and vice versa.
