In Performance Mode, Autoloops are synced to the Beatgrid in Serato DJ/VDJ 8 and will cycle through as you play. There are four Autoloop banks with room for eight Autoloops in each bank so you can create 32 different Autoloops in total. Autoloops are a backup system that takes over when audio without SoundSwitch Scripts are loaded into Serato DJ, you can view Autoloops as short lighting clips that playthrough, in the order you have set, and in time with the Beatgrid of Serato DJ/VDJ 8.Īutoloops are designed to fit with the music structure and can be created in 8, 16, 32, 64 and 128 bar durations. If you haven't scripted any lighting for a given audio file/song then your Autoloops will automatically load as the song plays. In practice, your lighting will blend together as you crossfade and will fade up and down as you control the upfaders. SoundSwitch also links to the faders of your controller/mixer so manipulating them will also alter the lighting. If you pull the record back your lights will.you get the picture. Likewise, if you set a loop via your control pads your lights will loop too. For example, if you slow the tempo down, the lighting will also slow down. SoundSwitch responds to how you manipulate the audio via Serato DJ/VDJ and adjusts the lighting accordingly. If you create the content SoundSwitch will ensure that your lighting Scripts are always in time with the audio when playing live through Serato DJ.

Lighting Scripts let you create intricate lighting displays by inputting lighting cues, strobes, color changes, movement, and other lighting effects in time with changes in the music.
