01
Genre Mode
Tells KimiCue what style of music your track is - so it knows where to look for the drop.
Different genres have different structures. A Techno track builds slowly over 8 minutes. A Drum and Bass track drops hard after 30 seconds. Pick the genre that matches your music for better results.
Not sure? Leave it on Auto Detect.

Cue Template
Controls how your 8 hot cues are spread around the drop.
KimiCue finds the drop and places cues A–H at set distances before and after it so you can jump in at the right moment. The template decides how far apart those cues are - matching your mixing style.
Not sure? Use Club Mix Default - it works for almost everything.

Serato Support
Write hot cues directly into your audio files so they appear in Serato DJ Pro automatically.
Enable Write Serato Hot Cues in KimiCue Pro and it embeds Serato Markers2 tags straight into your MP3 or FLAC files. Open Serato DJ Pro and the cues are already mapped - no import step.
Tick Backup Serato Tags before running so your existing cues are safe.
