Press the Stem Split button to perform the Stem Split function within
Serato DJ. The main display will show the mode is engaged and informs
which stem elements are controlled by the channel faders. The track
that is loaded to the deck will be instantly doubled to the layers on the
respective side. Decks 1/2 are always set to vocal 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 manipulate
the stem elements independently from each other.
Example: A song playing on Deck 1 has the Melody and Vocals toggled
o. When Stem Split is engaged, Deck 1 will have the Vocal turned ON,
and Deck 3 will have all three instrumental stems turned ON.
Notes: All deck controls (e.g. pad modes, looping controls, load track,
beat jump) will simultaneously trigger on both decks on the same side.
All mixer controls (EQs, gains, channel faders) and FX will be individual
per deck.
Loading a track (standard load, Scratch Bank load, or Instant Double
from other active decks) to either deck currently in Stem Split mode
will result in the song being split into vocal and instrumental stems
using the rules above.
Exiting Stem Split mode:
Press the Stem Split button to revert the deck control to the primary
deck. Stems states are also reset. The transport state of the primary
deck will be preserved. The song from the inactive layer will be
unloaded/ejected.
Press either layer button to stop dual control and regain control of
individual decks. The stem state of currently loaded songs will be
preserved. The transport state of both decks will be preserved. No
songs are unloaded.
Eject either deck to stop dual control and regain control of individual
decks. Stem state of non-ejected songs will be preserved. The transport

Internal Hardware Effects
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.
