Serato is on a release spree today, based around the new Serato Remote app, but importantly adding a few cool things into the package as well. Landmark release Scratch Live 2.5 sees Serato Remote compatibility, as well as Pioneer CDJ-2000Nexus HID plug and play, and a smidgeon of free Loopmasters stuff. But the biggie for a lot of people (namely the mapping types out there) is the new MIDI out lighting ability.

Scratch Live 2.5 Bug Fixes
Alongside these key features Scratch Live 2.5 also includes bug fixes to continue the unparalleled level of stability and performance that Serato software is renown for.
Some examples of the bug fixes are:
- Mixtape .als recordings now work with Ableton Live 9.
- Fixed a bug where the beatgrid lock wasn’t being saved and loaded to/from the file; it was only being saved to the database.
- The Sixty-Eight record source is now correctly loaded from preferences.
- Fixed a bug where the CDJ-350 was sending both MIDI and HID messages, which meant it, could possibly fire two different Scratch Live events at the same time.
- Fixed a bug where the DJFX deck assignments wouldn’t save to preferences if going from being ‘on’ initially, to ‘off’.
For a full list of bug fixes see the Scratch Live 2.5 Release Notes.
Scratch Live 2.5 is a free software update available now from www.serato.com/scratchlive/downloads

Serato Remote: Covered extensively here and here.
Loopmasters content: A tiny sampling of Loopmasters extensive repertoire. I had 60 seconds of pad bashing fun with the supplied 808 sounds in the SP-6. Serato will have to go a considerable way to match the volume of audio that NI give away with Traktor, but it’s a start.
Pioneer CDJ-2000Nexus: For Pioneer owners and users in the clubs, this is a biggie. HID with CDJs was previously the stronghold of Traktor, but now thanks to the opened up 2 way communication with the Serato architecture, you can now use CDJs and Scratch Live without control CDs. This means full and complete 2 way information exchange, including album art and those all import waveforms. The only caveat in all this is no sync buttons, because Serato has still to add this function.
MIDI Out lights: While Scratch Live has boasted point-and-click MIDI learn for a very long time, it always felt a little unfinished, because unless support was hard coded in the software, the lights stayed off. But with MIDI out, you should be able to map you favourite lumps of controller and get some important visual feedback. I tried a little this morning and got some lights on my F1, but can’t see how to get RGB feedback going just yet. And the lights on the Behringer CMD Micro were on, but unaffected by MIDI out. I’m sure that’s more of a matter of playing a little more to fully understand what’s going on.

So the Serato Remote is nothing short of excellent, the Loopmasters content is a bit meh, the CDJ Nexus stuff is a massively important move that will help fend off Native’s attack on the booth, and the MIDI out couldn’t have been more overdue or more welcome. As well as some bug fixes, I’d say that Serato Scratch Live 2.5 is an excellent and free landmark upgrade. One last thing – for Mac users, OS X 10.5.8 is not longer supported. Time to upgrade your OS, if your hardware allows it of course.
