The final version of Serato DJ 1.9.6 is now available to download, and it comes with a number of new features and improvements, especially for DVS users.
DVS improvements include the Anti-Drift option to stabilize BPM, Smart Sync, and improvements to needle drop sensitivity. Other new features include Favorite FX Banks, Chronological Loops, Recording Loops, the Enable/Disable Hot Cues option, and support for the Reloop RMX-90 DVS mixer. 1.9.6 also comes with the usual stability and performance improvements.
Nick Maclaren, Serato’s Head of Strategy, said in the press release:
“After paying close attention to user feedback over weeks of beta testing, we are now thrilled to officially release Serato DJ 1.9.6. Our goal for version 1.9.6 was to hone in and fine tune features that are really important to our professional DJ customers.”
In conjunction with the launch, Serato hosted a live stream event on Wednesday at their headquarters in New Zealand.
