11. Slip / Vinyl: Press this button to enable or disable Slip mode. In Slip mode, you

can jump to Hot Cue Points, trigger Loop Rolls, or use the platters while the
track’s timeline continues. In other words, when you stop the action, the track
will resume normal playback from where it would have been if you had never
done anything (i.e., as if the track had been playing forward the whole time).

Press and hold Shift and press this button to activate or deactivate “vinyl
mode” for the jog wheel. When activated, you can use the jog wheel to

you are touching only the side of the jog wheel), move the jog wheel to
temporarily adjust the track’s speed.

12. Censor / Reverse: Press and hold this button to activate Censor,

which temporarily reverses the playback of the track. Release the
button to resume normal playback from where it would have been
if you had never engaged the Censor function (i.e., as if the track
had been playing forward the whole time).

Silent Cue - The primary function of this button can be changed to
Silent Cue in the System menu.

Silent Cue temporarily mutes the deck audio until a Hot Cue or
Pitch Play pad is pressed. This allows you to play the song from the
desired position and unmute the deck with a single button press.

Press and hold Shift and press this button to activate Reverse, which
will reverse the playback of the track. Press the button again to
resume normal playback from wherever the audio playhead stops.

by moving the platter to place the playhead at the desired location and then
pressing the Cue button.

During playback, you can press the Cue Button to return the track to this
Temporary Cue Point. (If you did not set a Temporary Cue Point, then it will
return to the beginning of the track.)

If the Deck is paused, you can press and hold the Cue button to play the track
from the Temporary Cue Point. Releasing the Cue button will return the track to
the Temporary Cue Point and pause it. To continue playback without returning
to the Temporary Cue Point, press and hold the Cue button, then press and
hold the Play button, and then release both buttons.

Press and hold Shift and press this button to return the track to its beginning.
Pressing this button combination again while at the beginning of the track will
load the previous track in the playlist to the deck.

17. Stem-Split: Pressing this button performs the Stem-Split function

within Serato DJ. The track that is loaded to the deck is instant
doubled to the layers of the respective side. Decks 1/2 are always
set to the acapella 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 adjust level, EQ,
and apply effects to the instrumental or acapella independently.
By default, deck functions are locked together, press one of the
deck buttons to manipulate the stem elements independently
from each other. Press the Stem-Split button again to sync the
stem elements.

Tip: Ensure the level of your desired channels are the same before triggering
Stem-Split.

corresponding channel to either side of the crossfader (L or R), or bypasses the
crossfader and sends the audio directly to the program mix (center position =
Thru).

6. Crossfader Contour: Adjusts the slope of the crossfader curve. Turn the knob to
the left for a slow fade (mixing) or to the right for a fast cut (scratching). The
center position is a typical setting for club performances.

7. Cue Mix: Turn to mix between the cue channel and program mix in the
headphone outputs. When all the way to the left, only the cue channel will be
heard. When all the way to the right, only the program mix will be heard.

8. Split Cue: When this switch is in the On position, the headphone audio will be
“split” such that the cue channel is summed to mono and sent to the left
headphone channel while the program mix is summed to mono and sent to the
right channel. When the switch is in the Off position, the cue channel and
program mix will be “blended” together. In both cases, use the Cue Mix knob to
control the blend of the two signals.

9. Cue Level: Turn this knob to adjust the volume level of the cue channel.

10. Headphone Outputs (1/4”, 1/8” / 6.35 mm, 3.5 mm, TRS): Connect your

(3.0) FEATURES

(3.3) Rear Panel

1. Mic Inputs 1–2 (XLR / 1/4” / 6.35 mm, TRS): Connect dynamic microphones to
these mono inputs. Their mono audio signals are split and routed directly to the
stereo program mix and cue channel. If you prefer a stereo line input, the Deck
Phono/Line In may be used.

2. Deck Phono/Line In (RCA): Connect these inputs to an external audio source or
to a turntable, CD player, or other line-level device. Remember to set the
corresponding Phono/Line selector to the appropriate position and to set the
USB/Line Source Selection switch for that deck to Line to play its audio signal
on that deck.

3. Line/Phono Selectors: Set this switch to the appropriate position, depending on
the device connected to the Phono/Line Ins of the corresponding deck. 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.

7. Booth/Zone (1/4” / 6.35 mm): Connect these outputs to booth monitors or a
booth amplifier system. Use the Booth/Zone knob on the top panel to control
the volume level.

8. Stereo/Mono: Set this switch to have the Main Outs output a stereo or mono
audio signal.

9. USB Ports (USB Type-B): Use USB cables to connect these USB ports to
available USB ports on your computer. These connections send and receive
audio and MIDI control information to and from the computer.

10. Power Input: While FOUR is powered off, connect the included power cable to
this input and then to a power outlet.

11. Power Button: Use this button to power FOUR on or off. Power on FOUR only
after you have connected all your input devices and before you power on your
amplifiers and loudspeakers. Power off your amplifiers and loudspeakers before
powering off FOUR.

(4.0) OPERATION

(4.1) Pad Display

FOUR 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. When a stem is muted, the muted element (top line) will
be inverted with a solid white rectangular box. Use pads 1-4 to toggle stems
on/off (1-Vocal, 2-Melody, 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

(4.2.2) 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 where
the 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 4 pads to control beat jump functions.

Note: Disable Show Beat Jump Controls in the Serato Setup menu to access 8 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.

(4.2.3) Sampler

In Sampler mode, each pad triggers a sample, which you can assign in the software.

To enter Sample mode, press Sample. 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.

To cycle through the sampler outputs, press and hold Shift and then press the

(4.2.4) Stems

In Stems mode, the top 4 pads can be used
to mute stem elements and the bottom 4
pads can be used to activate stem FX.

To enter Stems mode, press Stems.

For Stem Elements (pads 1-4), the pad
LED will be unlit when a Stem element is
muted/removed. The LED will be bright
Blue when a Stem element is playing.

For Stem FX (pads 5-8), the pad LED will be unlit when Stem FX is off. The LED will
be bright Amber when Stem FX are on.

To activate an instant acapella, press the Parameter < button.

(4.2.5) Pitch Play

To enter Pitch Play mode, quickly double tap this button. In this mode, the
performance pads offer a range of different keys for the active hot cue (adjustable
by semitones). The Serato Pitch N Time plugin (included) must be installed to use
this mode. See (4.2.1) Hot Cue to learn how to assign hot cue points.

To enter Pitch Play mode, quickly double tap Hot Cue pad mode button.

To select which hot cue point to use, press and hold Shift and press a dimly lit
Pad.

To select the range of transpositions the pads will use, press the Parameter </>
buttons.

To play the track from the hot cue point, press a lit Pad. Each pad corresponds to a
specific transposition (by semitones), depending on the current range of
transposition.

A pad with no semitone selected will be lit dim. A pad with a semitone selected will
be lit at full brightness. A pad with no transposition (the original pitch) will be lit
white.

(4.2.6) Saved Loops

In Saved Loops mode, each pad triggers a loop previously saved in your software.

To enter Saved Loops mode, quickly double tap Roll pad mode button. The pad
LED will be off when no loop is saved to a pad. The LED will be bright Green when a
loop is saved to a pad. The LED will be bright Blue when a saved loop is active.

To play a loop, press a lit Pad. Each deck’s eight pads will correspond to Saved
Loops 1–8 in your software, and the color of each pad will correspond to the color
assigned to each loop in your software.

To activate the saved loop, press and hold Shift and press the corresponding pad.

To halve the loop size, press the Parameter < button.

To double the loop size, press the Parameter > button.

To move the active loop region backward at the current loop size without
deactivating the loop, press and hold Shift and then press the Parameter < button.

To move the active loop region forward at the current loop size without

(4.2.7) Scratch Bank

In Scratch Bank mode, each pad loads samples and tracks from your Serato DJ Pro
library to a pad. You can assign the song and set the starting point in the software.
This is useful for preparing and performing with song samples for scratching.

To enter Scratch Bank mode, quickly double tap the Sampler pad mode button.
The pad LED will be off when no track is loaded. The LED will be bright White when
a Scratch Bank track is loaded to a pad. Colors can be set in the Scratch Bank panel
within the Serato DJ Pro software.

To load the selected track to a pad, press an unlit Pad. When that pad is pressed
again, the corresponding track will be loaded to the deck.

To load the track that was previously on the deck before loading a Scratch Bank
track, press and hold Shift and press the corresponding pad.

To cycle the Scratch Bank selection left, press the Parameter < button.

To cycle the Scratch Bank selection right, press the Parameter > button.

(4.2.8) Slicer Mode

In Slicer mode, the eight pads represent eight sequential beats (slices) in the
beatgrid. The currently playing slice is represented by the currently lit pad; the light
will “move through the pads” as it progresses through the eight-slice phrase. When
you release the pad, the track will resume normal playback from where it would have
been if you had never pressed it (i.e., as if the track had been playing forward the
whole time).

To enter Slicer mode, quickly double tap the Stems pad mode button. The pad LED
will be bright Red for all sliced pads. The LED will be bright Blue for the playhead
position or current slice. The LED will be bright White while a pad is pressed.

To play a slice, press the corresponding pad.

To halve the slice domain size, press the Parameter < button.

To double the slice domain size, press the Parameter > button.

Effects Notes:

• Beat time divisions are unique per effect.

• Each effect will initially load at their default values (seen in the tables below).

• During a session, the parameter and beat values can be changed. The values for the last used

state are recalled when changing between effects.

• All saved effects (FX buttons 1-6) and their user-defined parameter/beat values (not the last

used settings) are loaded on startup. If an effect assigned to one of the FX buttons 1-6 has not
been saved, the factory effect and its default parameter/beat values are loaded for that effect
slot.
