Improvement of the jog platter latency when scrathing (May 20, 2014)
A new firmware Ver 1.15 has been released to improve the jog platter latency for scratching.
Please be sure to follow the both steps 1) and 2) below to enable the jog platter latency improvement.
1) Update the firmware to Ver 1.15 and later.
When the firmware is updated to Ver 1.15 and later from the previous versions,
the "sending intervals of the jog dial's MIDI message" in the Utilities mode
are automatically set at the optimal value (1msec*).
*If you change the above sending intervals to other than 1msec, the latency improvement will not be effective.
Please see [Changing the settings] > [Utilities modes] in the Operating Instructions
for how to check and change the "sending intervals of the jog dial's MIDI message".
Please click here to see how to update the firmware.
2) Update Serato DJ to Ver 1.6.3 or later.
