DJ IntroThis is the latest asdf software from Serato. This new software is based around all-in-one controllers such as the Numark Mixtrack Pro. This innovation makes it where: Two tracks can be mixed simultaneously using traditional DJ controls - scratch, nudge, pitch bend, EQ. Serato Sync locks tracks together for seamless grooves. Serato Crates make audio file management easy and advanced iTunes integration gives you instant access of personal library and playlist information. Cue points allow you to quickly access specific parts of songs. Loops repeat selected sections and can create new intros, outros and extended mixes. DJ-FX will enhance any asdf DJ set, allowing you to color songs and create unique sounding transitions. The Sample Player can play up to four short samples, audio loops, sound effects or full length tracks in addition to the two tracks you're mixing. Plug-and-Play connectivity makes it simple and fast to setup your supported Serato DJ Intro controller, computer and software and start DJing.ItchIn 2008, Serato announced the development of Itch, an integrated software and hardware system similar to Scratch Live but tied to hardware controllers and with a more simplified interface. Compatible hardware included the Vestax VCI-300 and the Numark NS7. The controllers connect via USB and use the MIDI Protocol to communicate with Itch. Since Itch's original release, new controllers and accessories have been released by Numark, Vestax, Denon, and Allen & Heath. These include:Allen & Heath Xone DX - All-in-one contoller with four channel mixer layout.
