Sampler & Sampler Velocity Mode - Pioneer DDJ-SR Operation Manual

The 8 pads represent eight sequential beats—"Slices"—in the Beat Grid. The currently
playing Slice is represented by the currently lit pad. The light will move through the pads as it
progresses through each eight-Slice phrase. Press a pad to repeat that Slice (hold it down if
you want to keep looping it).
Once the Pad is released the track will continue to play from the position it would have been
if the pad was never pressed.
Hold SHIFT and then use the Pads to repeat the memorized Slices (the Slices
played/repeated last time)
Use the PARAMETER (31) buttons to adjust the length of the Loop applied to the slice.
Press SHIFT and then use the PARAMETER (31) buttons to adjust the step of the Slices

Sampler Pads page – VirtualDJ GUI Sampler mode – Pioneer DDJ-SR
Each one of the pads triggers a sample from the selected Sampler Bank of VirtualDJ. If a
bank has less than 9 samples, both sides of the DDJ-SR will control the same samples. If a
bank has more than 8 samples, the left side of the DDJ-SR will control samples 1 to 8 and
the right side samples 9 to 16. The PAD will be lit if a sample slot is loaded and will blink if
triggered.
Press the pads to trigger a sample. Depending on the selected trigger Pad mode, use
SHIFT and the same pads to stop the sample.
Use the PARAMETER (31) buttons to select the Sampler Bank (previous/next). Press
SHIFT and then the PARAMETER (31) buttons to select the Trigger Pad mode (on/off,
hold, stutter, unmute)
Press and hold the SAMPLER Pad mode button to set the PADs to Sampler Velocity
mode. In this mode the Pads will additionally alter the Volume of the triggered Sample
depending on the pressure (velocity).
