The DDJ-SX2 supports “Serato Flip”, a new function of “Serato DJ” that records and calls up a maximum of six orders and intervals (sequences) of HOT CUE operations. Specially designed operation buttons are also included for one-touch recording and calling up, as well as intuitive rearrangement of musical development with repeated playback or skipping of parts of the music, etc.

Multicolored illuminations have been adopted on large pads for control of 8 types of “Serato DJ” function, including HOT CUE and SAMPLER. Pads’ colors and lights make it possible to apply dynamic actions to the music, such as beats and drum rolls, while immediately grasping pad mode selections and performance statuses. Also, the volume of the sampler sound can be varied depending on the strength with which the pads are hit.

A “4-CHANNEL MIXER” is featured for DJ play using 4 tracks. The levels of each channel can be grasped instantly thanks to the arrangement of a master level meter in the middle of the mixer and channel level meters next to the control interface of each channel.

Improved JOG reaction time has made it possible to perform scratching exactly as you wish. A new “HOT CUE COUNT DOWN” showing the time remaining until a HOT CUE has been added to the “ON JOG DISPLAY” in the middle of the JOG, which displays music playback status and position. By inputting a HOT CUE at the point for mixing or scratching performance, the timing until a performance can be checked.
