Serato Tips & Tricks: How To Add Extra Functions to Basic Controllers

Swapping out controls you can do without for more exciting ones is easy in Serato DJ Pro, and particularly useful with tiny controllers like the Numark Party Mix. We'll show you how in this lesson.

Tiny little DJ controllers like the fun Numark Party Mix and Numark DJ2GO2 sell by the bucketload, and often to DJs who use them as backup, second, or travel controllers alongside their first device. Whether that’s you, or whether you’ve got one of these as your only controller, I’ll bet at times you wished there was a way of adding “just one” control from bigger hardware to just such a humble little device.
