Cast your minds back to NAMM 2015, when Denon shocked the world with the game changing announcement of the DS1 aka the first official Serato audio interface outside of Rane. And then nothing, for the best part of half a year, which is an eon in DJ gear years. But now Serato has announced an upgrade — Serato DJ 1.7.6 is pretty much heralding the release of the high desirable DS1.
A few words and videos from Serato:
SERATO DJ 1.7.6 UPDATE NOW AVAILABLE
Serato has released Serato DJ 1.7.6, a software update that includes stability improvements and official support for the latest 2-channel DVS interface for Serato DJ, the Denon DJ DS1.
Serato CEO, AJ Bertenshaw says: “It’s great to be welcoming the Denon DJ DS1 into our lineup of supported DVS interfaces, as we continue to develop and enhance Serato DJ. This interface offers new DJs an easy way to get started with DVS as well as being a great way for DJs with legacy interfaces to make the switch to Serato DJ.”
As well as support for the Denon DJ DS1, Serato has added a number of important bug fixes and optimisations to the platform. This is a recommended update for all users.

SO CABLE. WOW.
It’s funny to watch those videos. Having used Serato DJ for a while now with a Rane Sixty-Four and most recently the new TTM57 MKII review unit, the very idea of all those cables seems positively archaic. I know that there is an obvious need for an external audio interface for all those other mixers that lack an internal one. But I pray for a time when a USB audio interface is standard inside every mixer and we can do away with the birds nest forever.
