Switching the Pad Plus mode’s tempo
mode
In the Pad Plus mode, there are two modes for setting the tempo: the
“auto tempo mode” and the “manual tempo mode”.
! By default, the auto tempo mode is set.
Auto tempo mode
The track’s BPM value is used as the basis for the tempo.
Manual tempo mode
The BPM value used as the basis is calculated by the interval at which
the [TAP (FX MODE)] button is tapped with your finger.
 Switching to the manual tempo mode
While in the auto tempo mode, press the [PAD PLUS TAP]
button three times.
! When the [PAD PLUS TAP] button is pressed for over 1 second while
in the manual-tempo mode, the mode switches to the auto tempo
mode.
! BPM values set in the manual tempo mode are not displayed.
Using the sampler velocity mode
When the [SAMPLER] mode button is pressed for over one second, the
sampler velocity mode turns on and off.
When the sampler velocity mode is on, the sample volume level changes
according to the strength with which the performance pads are tapped.
The volume level increases when the performance pads are tapped
strongly, decreases when they are tapped weakly.
When the sampler velocity mode is off, the sound is triggered at the
volume level set with the Serato DJ software, regardless of the strength
with which the performance pads are tapped.
! The sampler velocity mode’s on/off setting is reset each time the
power is turned on; this unit starts up with the sampler velocity mode
turned off.
! The velocity curve can be set in the utilities mode 1.
