3. Back/Load Prep: Press this button to move back through levels of library organization. Press and hold Shift and press this button to load the currently selected track to the Prepare crate.

4. Pitch Fader: Move this fader to adjust the speed (pitch) of the track. You can adjust its total range with the pitch Range button.

5. Pitch Bend -/+: Press and hold one of these buttons to momentarily reduce or increase (respectively) the speed of the track.
   Press and hold Shift and press these buttons to change the platter playback speed (Pitch Bend – = 33 RPM, Pitch Bend + = 45 RPM).

6. Range / Keylock: Press this button to adjust the range of the Pitch Fader to ±8%, ±16%, and ±50%.
   Press and hold Shift and press this button to activate or deactivate Keylock: the key of the song will lock to whatever position the pitch fader is at when Keylock is activated. This feature allows you to change the speed of the song without changing the key.

7. Motorized Platter: These motorized platters are used to control song position, scratching, and pitch bend. To customize the scratch feeling, first remove the acrylic vinyl control disc from the platter. Then you can add, remove, or change the order of the slip rings until you get the desired feel. To return the acrylic vinyl on top of the slip rings, line up the four slots underneath it to fit into the platter’s four magnetic squares.
   Note: To ensure consistent playback and scratch performance, use a maximum of 2 slip rings per side and ensure the slip ring configuration is identical on both platters.

If you are using phono-level turntables, set this switch to Phono to provide the additional amplification needed for phono-level signals. If you are using a linelevel device, such as a line-level turntable, CD player or sampler, set this switch to Line.

4. Phono Ground: If you are using phono-level turntables with a grounding wire, connect the grounding wire to this terminal. If you experience a low “hum” or “buzz”, this could mean that your turntables are not grounded.
   Note: Some turntables have a grounding wire built into the RCA connection, so nothing needs to be connected to the grounding terminal.

5. Main Out (RCA): Connect these outputs to another mixer, recording device, etc. The program mix will be sent to these outputs.

6. Main Out (XLR): Connect these outputs to loudspeakers or an amplifier system. Use the Main knob on the top panel to control the volume level.

OPERATION

Pad Display
PERFORMER has monochrome OLED displays above each performance pad area which offer two lines of text. The top line refers to the top row of pads and the second line refers to the bottom row of pads. If the text string is longer than the length of the screen, the line of text will scroll momentarily to show the full text and then return to the first character. Scrolling will only occur the first time the text is shown on-screen after changing modes.

• In Hot Cue pad mode, the displays will show the Hot Cue name. If the Hot Cue is not named, then the song position (time) is shown.
• In Roll pad mode, the displays will show the Loop Roll value. When a Roll pad is active, the display will show that line inverted with a solid White rectangular box.
• In Sampler pad mode, the displays will show the sample name. If a Sample pad is empty, the display line for the corresponding pad will remain blank. When a sample is playing, the display will show that line inverted with a solid white rectangular box.
• In Stems pad mode, the first line will show the Stem element, and the second line will show the Stem FX. Use pads 1-4 to toggle stems on/off (1-Vocal, 2Melody, 3-Bass, 4-Drums) and pads 5-8 to toggle stems FX on/off (5-Vocal Echo, 6-Drums Echo, 7-Instrumental Braker, 8-Drums Braker).
• In Pitch Play pad mode, the displays will show the key change value (in semitone) for each pad. When selected, the display will show that line inverted with a solid white rectangular box.
• In Saved Loop pad mode, the displays will show the Saved Loop name. If the Saved Loop is not named, then the Saved Loop start time will be shown. When a Saved Loop is playing, the display will show that line inverted with a solid white rectangular box.
• In Scratch Bank pad mode, the displays will show the name of the loaded sample/song. If a Scratch Bank is empty, the display line for the corresponding pad will remain blank.
• In Slicer pad mode, the displays will show the slice size. When a Slicer pad is active, the display will show that line inverted with a solid white rectangular box.
• In Combination pad mode, the displays show the selected pad modes on the top and bottom section of the display.

Stems Mode
To enter Stems mode, press Stems.
Adjust the High Vocal knob to control the vocal stem level.
Adjust the Mid Melody knob to control the melody + bass stem level.
Adjust the Low Drums knob to control the drums stem level. Press the Stem Split button to perform the Stem Split function within Serato DJ. The main display will show the mode is engaged and informs which stem elements are controlled by the channel faders. The track that is loaded to the deck will be instantly doubled to the layers on the respective side. Decks 1/2 are always set to vocal stem and decks 3/4 are always set to instrumental stem regardless of what deck is in focus when the Stem Split button is pressed. This allows you to manipulate the stem elements independently from each other.
Example: A song playing on Deck 1 has the Melody and Vocals toggled off. When Stem Split is engaged, Deck 1 will have the Vocal turned ON, and Deck 3 will have all three instrumental stems turned ON.
Notes: All deck controls (e.g. pad modes, looping controls, load track, beat jump) will simultaneously trigger on both decks on the same side. All mixer controls (EQs, gains, channel faders) and FX will be individual per deck. Loading a track (standard load, Scratch Bank load, or Instant Double from other active decks) to either deck currently in Stem Split mode will result in the song being split into vocal and instrumental stems using the rules above.
Exiting Stem Split mode:
Press the Stem Split button to revert the deck control to the primary deck. Stems states are also reset. The transport state of the primary deck will be preserved. The song from the inactive layer will be unloaded/ejected.
Press either layer button to stop dual control and regain control of individual decks. The stem state of currently loaded songs will be preserved. The transport state of both decks will be preserved. No songs are unloaded.
Eject either deck to stop dual control and regain control of individual decks. Stem state of non-ejected songs will be preserved. The transport state of the non-ejected deck will be preserved.
Pad Modes
This chapter describes the different pad modes. Each deck has eight pads, which are always in one of these modes, and each deck’s pads can be in a different mode. Press one of the Pad Mode buttons to enter the corresponding pad mode on that deck. The pads will remain dim when unselected, at full brightness when a pad mode is selected, and flashing between dim and full brightness when a secondary pad mode is selected.

Hot Cue
In Hot Cue mode, each pad assigns a hot cue point in the software or returns the track to that hot cue point. The performance pad LEDs will remain unlit until a hot cue is placed or will light if the loaded track already has Hot Cue points assigned.
To enter Hot Cue mode, press Hot Cue.
To assign a hot cue point, press an unlit Pad at the desired point in your track. The pad will light up when it is assigned (with the corresponding color, if available).
To jump to a hot cue point, press a lit Pad.
To delete an assigned hot cue point, press and hold Shift and then press the corresponding pad.
To arm FLIP recording, press Parameter <. The Censor or Hot Cue action initiates recording when FLIP mode is record armed. Press Parameter < again to disarm FLIP recording.
To stop recording and turn FLIP on / loop FLIP, press Parameter >.
Note: FLIP Expansion is required for this function.

Roll
In Roll mode, each of the performance pads will perform a different time division  loop roll. Releasing the pad stops the loop roll and resumes normal playback wherethe playhead would be if you had not triggered the loop roll (i.e., as if the track had been playing forward the whole time). Enable the Show Beat Jump Controls option in the software to have the bottom four pads to control beat jump functions.
Note: Disable Show Beat Jump Controls in the Serato Setup menu to access eight loop rolls at once. You can also view and edit the set loop sizes in the software.
To enter Roll mode, press Roll.
To trigger a loop roll, press and hold a Pad. The pad LED will be dim when a pad is unpressed (roll inactive). The LED will be at full brightness when a pad is pressed (roll active).
To shift the roll range down, press the Parameter < button.
To shift the roll range up, press the Parameter > button.
Press the Parameter < button while a roll is active to halve the length of the roll.
Press the Parameter > button while a roll is active to double the length of the roll.
Sampler
In Sampler mode, each pad triggers a sample, which you can assign in the software.
To enter Sampler mode, press Sampler. The pad LED will be unlit when no sample
is loaded to a pad. The LED will be bright pink when a sample is loaded to a pad.
The LED will flash between off and bright pink when a sample is playing.
To stop sample playback, press and hold Shift and press the corresponding pad.
To cycle the Sample bank selection left, press the Parameter < button.
To cycle the Sample bank selection right, press the Parameter > button.
