Library functionality was always good in Serato, and now there are new views adding cover art – you can knock out the text and basically browse by cover like the similar view in iTunes. There are six sample polyphonic, banked into four banks, for a total of 24. You can alter the volumes but not EQs of individual samples. ![]() The SP6 sample player comes across from Scratch, and while you can’t record directly as with Traktor 2 into it, you can define a loop in a playing track and instantly “double” it onto a sample deck. ![]() The software has a new yellow/blue on black colour scheme, but also has a daylight view, where the black background is switched to white for easier use in daylight or sunlight. To start with, there are a number of new views, including the Scratch Live-style vertical view, a browser/library view, and a new column view where decks are “stacked” – info on the left, waveforms on the right. However, in taking many of the features of Serato Scratch Live and porting them over to ITCH, Serato has continued to define its own niche of usability over everything else, while catching up on the features front with some of the competition. Serato may have felt a bit of pressure to pull something out of the bag, and maybe it’s no surprise that this comes hot on the heels of Traktor Pro 2, which with its new coloured waveforms now has more appeal to Serato ITCH users than ever before. And we can report that it bring many of the features of Serato Scratch into the platform for the first time, considerably beefing up its abilities in a number of areas including file handling, appearance, sample decks and syncing. Serato has shown its ITCH 2.0 DJ controller software off to Digital DJ Tips for the first time, here at the Musikmesse show in Germany.
