Pad Modes The pads on each deck of MC7000 controlling Serato DJ have different functions depending on the current Pad Mode. These modes are described on the following pages. Click a name to jump to its section: Cue Mode Roll Mode...
Cue Loop Mode In Cue Loop Mode, each pad assigns a hot cue point or returns the track to that hot cue point (like Cue Mode), but in both cases, it also creates an Auto-Loop at that point. To enter Cue Loop Mode, press Cue / Cue Loop / Flip so that it lights green. To assign a hot cue point, press an unlit pad at the desired point in your track.
Flip Mode In Flip Mode, Pads 1–6 each trigger a Flip, which you can assign in the software. See the Serato DJ manual to learn more about Flips. You can use this if you have installed the Serato Flip Expansion Pack. To enter Flip Mode, press and hold Shift and then press Cue / Cue Loop / Flip so that it lights red.
Roll Mode Note: The pad layouts here match the software’s default Auto-Loop time division layout. If you shift the range of time divisions displayed in the software, the pad layout will change to match it. In Roll Mode, each pad triggers a momentary Loop Roll. To enter Roll Mode, press Roll / Saved Loop so that it lights aqua.
Saved Loop Mode In Saved Loop Mode, each pad will return the track to one of your saved loops. To enter Saved Loop Mode, press Roll / Saved Loop so that it lights yellow. To create a loop, press and hold Shift and press X1/2 / Loop In to set the Loop In point. Then, press and hold Shift and press X2 / Loop Out to set the Loop Out point and trigger the loop.
Slicer Mode Important: Your track must have a set beatgrid for this mode to work. In Slicer Mode, the eight pads represent eight sequential beats—“slices”—in the beatgrid. The currently playing slice is represented by the currently lit pad; the light will “move through the pads”...

Sampler Mode In Sampler Mode, the pads will control the SP-6 sampler within the software. Pads 1–6 each trigger a sample at a specified volume (you assign both the sample and its volume in the software). To enter Sampler Mode, press Sampler / Velocity Samp. so that it lights purple. To assign a sample and its volume, use the software.
Velocity Sampler Mode In Velocity Sampler Mode, the pads will control the SP-6 sampler within the software. Pads 1–6 each trigger a sample (which you assign in the software) at a volume proportional to how heavily you pressed them. In other words, the pads behave as they do in Sampler Mode, but they are velocity-sensitive.
Pitch Play Mode In Pitch Play Mode, each pad plays the track from a hot cue point at a different transposition (adjustable by semitones). You can use this if you have installed the Serato Pitch ‘n Time DJ Expansion Pack. See Cue Mode to learn how to assign hot cue points.
Playback/Performance Functions To activate or deactivate a platter’s “vinyl mode,” press Vinyl. When activated, you can move the platter to “scratch” the track as you would with a vinyl record. To activate or deactivate the Censor feature, press and hold Censor. When activated, the track will play in reverse, but when you release Censor, normal playback will resume from where it would have been if you had never engaged the Censor feature (i.e., as if the track had been playing forward the whole time).
Effects Important: See the Serato DJ manual to learn more about using effects. To switch between Single FX Mode and Multi FX Mode, press and hold Shift and press Tap / FX Mode on the desired deck. To select an effect, do one of the following: •...
