    It depends what you want to do.

    Don’t the pads have like 4-switchable modes? That’s 32 functions per deck. Should be plenty for any normal performance I guess. If you need more pads, you’ll probably be happier with one of those 8 by 8 or even 16 by 16 matrix pad boards 😀

    The pads have 8 switchable modes 😉

    There you go, 32 functions …

    They in fact have 12 modes on the SR…
    Hot cue (roll), roll, trans, slicer, combo fx, sampler (roll) plus groups 1-4. Groups 1-4 aren’t even usable in Serato.

    However…

    Most of the modes are hard-wired. All of the pad plus modes have a macro in them, I believe the roll does too. And only the sampler is velocity sensitive. So if you wish to use all features of the remix decks in traktor for instance, you’re better of adding an F1. That’s what I use anyway. Fingerdrumming is impossible on pretty much any controller as you sometimes want to twist the pads 90 degrees depending on your routine.

    Therefore, it depends what you want to do with them. For triggering loops every once in a while it’s more than fine, but for anything sophisticated you’d want some dedicated controller.

    I don’t think they put pads on controllers for sophisticated users, more for the casual user. For Remix decks the F1 is obviously the go-to tool. Real finger drummers will turn to something with even more pads and more features/configuration options I think.

    The SR being a Serato controller, I don’t think Pioneer cared very much about the Traktor Remix decks in their design process 😛

    Yet it works better for remix decks than for the SP6. Nothing works properly with the SP6 sampler in Serato, not even the DDJ-SZ. It’s ridiculous. They don’t design the controllers for the SP6, that’s for sure.

    I think you can work nicely with the SP-6 and the pads. What functions are you lacking?

    the whole thing is weird. You have so many functions and nothing to control them. Even the F1 is shrugging when confronted with Serato. Then there is the number of samples. Why 6? Why not 4 or 8? It feels weird and not intuitive at all.

    Serato says that there are 24 samples in serato DJ
    6 slots 4 banks-the software doesn’t come with sample sounds if they do I can’t find them.

    Whenever I try the sample function I end up sampling the entire song instead of the loop I’ve set

    There are not helpful video about the sampler out there
