We’re very pleased to announce that the SC5000M PRIME is now compatible with Serato DJ Pro as an Official Accessory! We know this one has been a long time coming and we’re very happy it’s finally here for you to enjoy!
Feature Highlights

The USB hub can also be used for media device and additional MIDI controllers.
Important: Serato DJ Pro controller mode requires firmware and software updates:
I think they might have their “Titanic” tickets from a DJing point of view but yeah well done today to denon and serato for a more featured serato implementation
It works with the 1.4 Beta as well? Tried it with my 5000M and x1800 and it worked and it was flawless. I will try my Prime 4 tomorrow and it’s on Beta 1.4.
Don’t have…
Serato DJ Pro
X1800
Do have
2x SC5000M’s and a Behringer DDM4000 4 channel digital mixer
Don’t want to have to be hooked up to a laptop either and/whilst palmed off to use another 3rd Party DJ software.
Where are my options in just using the media players and with native EP 1.3.3 as I still hear that the software on its own isn’t up to scratch?
No choices there.
SC5000M was conceptualized and designed to be an advanced STANDALONE media player. The whole idea was to remove the laptop from the booth. The fact that it works with any 3rd party DJ application is an added bonus and in the case of Serato DJ Pro, completely FREE (PRIME 4).
We are sometimes limited on what & how we implement features for 3rd party applications. You can expect that the standalone workflows and feature integration to always supersede those when used as a basic MIDI controller.
Hallo denon was bringt mir Serato wen ich mit Videos arbeite und die Videos nicht laufen wird es die Möglichkeit geben das die sc5000m auch mit vdj arbeitet können den da laufen meine Videos Dankeschön im voraus
Serato DJ offers features such as Auto again, Elastic Beatgrids, Sampler, iZotope FX, Pitch N Time, Serato Video, Mix Emergency, Serato Flip, etc. I personally use the variable beat grids and Flip to seemlessly skip for quick mixes. Ironically, Denon introduced Splice to do this in the DN-D9000 in 2002.
I assumed Prime supported ReplayGain to playback all the tracks at the same volume. I also thought they had Auto Fade between tracks like older Denon players. I’m looking into getting the 2 5000M’s but not having these features is disappointing.
Why assume? Assumption is the mother of all fudgecups !
Instead of being that guy that buys blind without giving his potential purchase a really tough and thorough trial in-store before purchase, then spends the next two decades begging for missing features to be reti-fitted with countless firmwares , go try some.
Then only buy if absolutely every possible conceivable “oh it’s sure to have this, that, those, these…” really is there.
Actually, with that thought, we’d never buy anything ever again shucks
Instead of being that guy that doesn’t read the whole post, ask yourself “Does your reply improve the conversation in some way?”
If you would have read my post, you would have seen that I said “I’m looking into getting the 2 5000M’s…” You also assumed I could easily go “trial in-store” as if that is a convenient option. Prime isn’t on display in a store within 200 miles of where I live.
I travelled further than that each way, to check out the 5000 (I’ve no care for motors)
Even with the deal of a free x1800 now making this affordable to those who weren’t up for the three part kit at full price, it’s a lot of money to spend if something doesn’t feel right or has a disparate workflow.
If you can’t travel then maybe you can research a store that will do a 14 day or 28 day returns
If you’re used to the advanced features of software then any hardware will look disappointing.
As a DJ deck you’ll find the M to be more fun than anything you’ve played with before. They got the platter almost as best as you can get with a controller.
