How many channels does it have?

Two. Each channel has its own set of eight Performance Pads and independent pad modes.

What is Scratch Bank?

A Serato DJ Pro pad mode that loads scratch samples from four banks you assign, with an optional start point.

About the Pioneer DJM-S7 Scratch-Style 2-Channel Performance DJ Mixer

The Pioneer DJ DJM-S7 is a 2-channel scratch-style performance mixer. It unlocks Serato DJ Pro for free and is a Hardware Unlock device for rekordbox, so performance features work in either application. It also unlocks Serato DVS, so you can control and scratch with CDJs or turntables.

The crossfader is a Magvel Fader Pro. The knob mounting shaft is 30 percent more rigid in the vertical direction. Each channel has 8 large Performance Pads for Hot Cues and samples. Independent pad modes let you use a different feature on each channel at the same time. In Serato DJ Pro, Combo Pad mode runs 2 pad modes on one channel at once. Scratch Bank mode loads scratch samples from 4 banks assigned in Serato DJ Pro, and can load from a specified start point.

Large effect levers control the effects. The mixer includes all 22 built-in Beat FX from the DJM-S11, along with software effects in Serato DJ Pro and rekordbox. You can change the 6 effects assigned to the FX Select buttons. An OLED display shows the name and beat value of the active effect.
