Serato DJ Pro Keyboard shortcuts

Get the poster

Serato DJ Pro lets you mix and perform entirely from your laptop, and its keyboard shortcuts speed up the workflow when you are away from a controller. Load tracks, trigger cues and loops, fire samples, and navigate your library without touching the mouse. Shortcuts use a US keyboard layout: on Windows [control] maps to [Command] and [Alt] maps to [Option] on Mac. Note that if 'Playback Keys Use Shift' is enabled, playback keys also require Shift or Caps Lock.
