When pressing and holding a perfor-
mance pad in the sampler velocity
mode, the sampler volume does not
change according to the strength with
which the button is pressed. Is after-touch disabled? Enable after-touch in the utilities mode 1.
The Combo FX function does not work. Is the Serato DJ effect mode set to the single FX
mode?
Set the Serato DJ effect mode to the multi FX mode.
Are the effect type and parameter set
appropriately? With the Combo FX function, there are differences in the effect achieved when
an effect is applied depending on the combination of the effect type and filter
operation mode parameter.
When using with the filter operation mode parameter set to “Quick”, it is effec-
tive to select such effects as Delay, Echo, Reverb, Pan Delay and Version Echo.
When using with the filter operation mode parameter set to “Slow” or “LFO”, in
addition to such effects as Delay, Echo, Reverb, Pan Delay and Version Echo,
such effects as Phaser, Flanger and Distortion are also effective.
Furthermore, the effect achieved with the Combo FX function also changes
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
turn the reverberations off, turn the effect parameter control counterclockwise.)
When HPF, LPF or LFO Filter is selected, it is effective when used with the filter
operation mode parameter set to “Off”.

mode? Select the trigger mode on the [SP-6] panel on the computer’s screen when
using the sampler roll function. It will not operate properly in other play modes.
