Serato Custom MIDI User Modes for the Pioneer DJM-S9

created by DJ haveboard

updated April 10th, 2018 current version 1.0.1

4 separate User Modes for the Pioneer S9 to work with Serato DJ to provide additional functionality.

I still haven't figure out how to get the XML to inherit Serato color values for cues so the colors are set as is. These can be changed with some basic XML editing.

Cues stay lit (IT'S LIT, YO) whether there is a cue set for that pad or not. If you know how to light up the pads only when there is an active cue please contact me and let me know. Output lighting for pressed cues removed in favor of active/inactive cue lighting. If there is no cue in a slot, the cue no longer lights up.

Installation

  1. Clone or Download the files to your computer from the green button on the upper right side of this GitHub Repo.
  2. Place s9_custom_user_modes_by_haveboard.xml file into your Serato MIDI XML Directory
    • Mac: ~/Users/\_YOUR_USER_NAME_/Music/_Serato_/MIDI/Xml
    • Windows: C:\Users\_YOUR_USER_NAME_\Music\_Serato_\MIDI\Xml
  3. Go into Serato DJ Settings under the MIDI tab, select the s9_custom_user_modes_by_haveboard option from the MIDI PRESET list and then select "load" to load the custom MIDI XML file.
  4. To enable one of the Custom User Modes, press SHIFT + one of the PAD MODE buttons twice to enter the respective User Mode:
    • User Mode 1 - SHIFT + HOT CUE x2 Cues & Samples
    • User Mode 2 - SHIFT + ROLL x2 Cues & Rolls
    • User Mode 3 - SHIFT + SLICER x2 Left Cues Left & Right Pads Sample Deck
    • User Mode 4 - SHIFT + SAMPLER x2 Left Pads Sample Deck & Right Cues Right

Parameter Buttons

The parameter buttons for all user modes select Sample Bank's A, B, C, and D, left to right respectively. Parameter buttons for banks have been removed as it caused the parameters to not work properly for other modes. Hat tip to DJ Harley Beretta for making me aware.
