Operating the DJ-808
Slicer Operations (SLICER)
Slicer divides the specied region into eight, and assigns the divided
regions to the performance pads. While you hold down a performance pad,
the sound of the region assigned to that pad plays as a loop.
The song continues progressing in the background even while looping.
When you cancel loop playback, song playback resumes from the location
to which the song had progressed during loop playback.
NOTE
5 Slicer can only be used during the song playback.
5 You can’t use the slicer on a song for which the beat grid is not
specied. For details on the beat grid, refer to the Serato DJ owner’s
manual.
* You can also use the [ADJ] button or [SLIDE] button to specify the
beat grid (p. 6).
1. Hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the [ROLL] button to
make the button light in red.
Slicer mode is selected.
MEMO
If you hold down the [SHIFT] button and press the [ROLL] button twice
to make the button light in blue, slicer loop mode is selected.
2. Hold down the [SHIFT] button and use the PARAMETER [−] [+]
buttons to select the length (beats) of the specied region.
The setting changes each time you press the button.
The length of the specied region can be set to 2 beats, 4 beats, 8 beats,
16 beats, 32 beats, or 64 beats.
The eight divided regions are assigned to the performance pads as
follows.

3. Use the PARAMETER [−] [+] buttons to specify the slicer’s
quantize setting.
The quantize setting changes the length of loop playback that occurs
when you hold down a pad.
The quantize setting can be 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, or 1.
Example:
If quantize is set to 1:
The entire region assigned to the pad you press is played as a loop.
If quantize is set to 1/2:
The rst 1/2 of the region assigned to the pad you press is played as a
loop.
4. Hold down a performance pad.
While you hold down the pad, the length that you specied by the
quantize setting is continuously played as a loop.
5. Release the performance pad.
Song playback resumes from the location to which the song had
progressed during loop playback.
