• Easy to Read Graphic User Interface (GUI) – The DDJ-ERGO-V enables users to slide the keypad of their laptops under the controller for easy viewing of the GUI displayed on the computer screen.  The new Serato DJ Intro software displays large color-coded waveforms for each musical instrument on its GUI, providing users with a visual progression of the music, ideal for any DJ skill level.
