Performance Pads
The Pioneer PLX-CRSS12 has 4 performance pads that can be used in one of 8 performance pad
modes.
HOT CUE mode: Pads 1-4 or 5-8 trigger Serato DJ Pro Cue points, and if no Cue point is present on that
slot/pad, pressing that pad will set a Cue point. Holding SHIFT while pressing a pad will clear the Cue point
from that pad/slot.
ROLL mode: Press the HOT CUE mode button twice to enter Loop Roll mode. In this mode holding pads
1-4 or 5-8 activates a loop roll of varying sizes. Release the pad to exit the Loop Roll.
STEMS mode: Hold SHIFT while pressing the HOT CUE mode button to enter Stems mode. In this mode
you can control features from the Stems Tab, allowing you to utilize real-time audio separation in Serato
DJ Pro. Press pad 1 to toggle off/on the Vocal Stem, press pad 2 to toggle off/on the Melody Stem, press
pad 3 to toggle off/on the Bass Stem, and press pad 4 to toggle off/on the Drums Stem. Pads 5-8 toggle
Stem Pad FX, which consist of FX Vocal Echo, FX Instrumental Echo, Instrumental Braker FX, and FX Drums
Echo.
NOTE: Using Stems is very CPU-intensive, and may take some time to initialize.

SAMPLER mode: Press pads 1-4 or 5-8 to trigger samples loaded into the Serato DJ Pro Sampler. Hold
SHIFT while pressing a pad to stop the sample playback once triggered, or load the file highlighted in your
library to the respective Sampler slot if no sample is loaded.
SAVED LOOP mode: Press the SAMPLER button twice to enter Save Loop mode. Pads 1-4 or 5-8 trigger
Saved Loops, or save an Active Loop to an empty Loop Slot. Holding SHIFT while pressing a Pad will
Reloop the Saved Loop Slot.
SCRATCH BANK mode: Hold SHIFT while pressing the SAMPLER button to enter Scratch Bank Mode.
This mode allows you to assign files in your Serato DJ Pro library to a Pad. When Pads 1-4 or 5-8 are
triggered, the corresponding file will be loaded to deck, allowing you to quickly load useful Scratch samples.
Click the Scratch Bank button
in the top tool bar of Serato DJ Pro to reveal the Scratch Bank Panel.
In this panel you can load and eject files from the Scratch Banks, as well as chose the preferences you wish
to load to the deck upon triggering the pad. These preference include the start point of the file, Key Lock
on/off and Repeat on/off. Clicking the
button in the top left corner of the panel will change between
Advanced and Simple View.
