Serato and Pioneer have announced details of a new partnership which will link their respective Scratch Live and CDJ products.

Said to function simply through a "plug-and-play connection," Serato's new integration with Pioneer's CDJ-2000 and CDJ-900 models will grant DJs access to their Scratch Live music library via the decks' standard interface, with the option to flick between software and CDJ mode. Once the CDJs are hooked up with official Rane hardware, features such as crates, album artwork, track overviews and cue/loops point will become accessible via the CDJ's colour screen and hardware controls.

For years now, Serato has maintained two websites with exactly the same content and layout, with only slight differences in style. After a great six year run, Scratchlive.net is retiring from service and Serato will be redirecting all traffic to Serato.com.

Serato and Rane are pleased to announce a series of demonstrations throughout Europe this month. You will get a chance to experience the new Rane Sixty-Eight mixer with Serato Scratch Live 2.0 at hands of master demonstrators during this 11 city tour.
