Serato Keyboard Shortcuts 

SEE PLAYBACK KEYS USE SHIFT FOR MORE INFORMATION

  • The following shortcuts are keys on a US keyboard, other keyboards key positions may be labelled differently. (For example, [control] on Windows is [Command] on Mac OS X and [Alt] on Windows is [Option] on Mac OS X)
  • These actions can be accessed directly from the computer keyboard
  • A personal favorite at the Serato office is Control + Z, which is used to undo the latest track load. This is good for when you load a track to the wrong deck or eject a track accidentally. (If you are using REL or ABS mode when using turntables or CDJ’s, pressing Control + Z will load the previous track and continue to play it from its original position when you accidentally ejected)
