In order to change between files or playlists push and hold the shift button -23 H- and turn the Trax Encoder -1 H-.

Note!

By pushing the Trax Encoder -1 H- or clicking the playlist button -42 S- you can maximize or minimize a playlist.

NOTE!

Via the shift button -23 H- you can call up a second function of a control element. This way the number of MIDI compatible elements is doubled. Watch out for noted regarding a double assignment in order to be able to use all functions of your controller.

3.3. Transport Controls

Below the jog wheel -18 H- you can find three buttons for the play, cue or pause functions of a track.

Via the play button -6 H- you can play the previously selected track. By repeatedly pushing the play button -6 H- again the track will be played in a stutter style from the last set cue point (bop function).

In order to pause a track push the pause button -5 H-

Via the cue button -4 H- you will return to the last set cue point while in play mode. Temporary pushing in pause mode will continue the track from the cue point until the button is being pushed.

3.4.Cue points

There are two possibilities to set a cue point.

a) The first possibility is via frame search. In pause mode navigate via the jog wheel -18 HS- to the desired point and press the play button -6 H / S-. The cue point is now set at the play point.

b) The second possibility is via the loop in function. During playback push the Loop In button -24 H / S- in order to set a cue point.

3.5.Mixer section

Via the crossfader -7 H- you can fade from deck A to deck B and vice versa. The channels' output volume can be adjusted by using the linefaders -8 H / S-. Your software features a 3-band equalizer -9 H / S- which you can operate via the controller. By pushing the equalizer potentiometers -9 H- the kill function of the respective wave band will be activated. The corresponding kill LED shines while the kill function is activated. By pushing the potentiometer again you will deactivate the kill function.

Via the gain knob -10 H / S- you can do a vernier adjustment.

The master volume is adjusted via the master knob -11 H-. Via the cue volume knob -12 H / S- you can adjust the headphones' volume.

Use the cue mix knob -13 H / S- in order to adjust the relation of the master signal and cue channel. This makes sense when trying out a mix via your headphones. The level display -38 S- shows the volume level of a track.

NOTE!

In order to use the cue function properly you require a multi-channel sound card.

If a stereo output has been selected for the headphones in the audio settings it can be enabled for each side via the cue buttons -22 H / S-. This way you can monitor a track while another track is being played via the master output.

NOTE!

Use the cue mix knob -13 H / S- in order to simulate a pre-mix from to cue to master in your headphones.

Via the mic volume knob -39 S- you can adjust the volume of an optionally connected microphone.

Use the long/cut knob -41 S- in order to change the crossfader curve from hard to smooth.

3.6. Speed control

Use the pitch fader -14 H / S- in order to adjust the speed. If you push the fader upwards the speed will decrease. Push the fader downwards and the speed will increase. The currently set pitch value is shown in the info display -DXII-.

The adjusted pitch is shown in the software on the left and right side respectively of the pitch fader. The range can be adjusted to +/-4% , +/-8% , +/-16% , +/-100% . You can change the pitch range by either directly clicking on the software or by using the hot key shift -23 H- plus the pitch bend buttons -15 H- on your controller. The minus button will decrease the range while the plus button increases the range.

Via the pitch bend +/- buttons -15 H- you can cause a temporary increasing or decreasing of the track's speed for as long as you push the respective button. The maximum speed pitch corresponds to the previously set pitch range

This function is especially useful if you want to synchronize two tracks that have the same speed but do not run synchrone.

Via the keylock function -16 H / S- you can freeze the tone pitch. This means that the original tone pitch is kept no matter at what speed the track is being played. This way you can avoid the so called "Mikey Mouse" effect.

Via the sync function -17 H / S- you can automatically synchronize two tracks. The BPM value of the respective sync side is matched to the other player. This useful function facilitates quicker mixing without losing too much time for speed matching. Classic speed matching via pitch is also possible of course.

NOTE!

The sync function is carried out corresponding to analyzed BPM values. But this does not mean that it will work flawlessly for every music style and type of song. Before mixing one should always monitor and adjust the music.

Sometimes the BPM value of a track may not be displayed correctly, for example if the BPM value seems to be way too high or low. This can be the case with break beats or Drum & Bass. In this case you can manually analyze the BPM value. To do so push the Edit BPM button in order to open the manual BPM menu.

There are to possibilities to manually determine the BPM value.

a) Tap function:

Tap the mouse button on the tap button on screen to the beat of the music in order to manually determine the BPM value.

NOTE!

You can also accomplish this in the information display on the display.

b) BPM set function:

You can also type in the BPM value and confirm it via the set button. Via the buttons "x 2" and "/2" you can double or halve the BPM value with the push of a button.

Click on the "Hide" button in order to exit the BPM menu.

NOTE!

In order to re-enable the auto BPM function push the Auto BPM button -35 S-. On the display -DV- "A.BPM" will be shown in red.

3.7.Jog wheel section -18 H / S

Your Digital Jockey controller disposes of two extra large, high resolution jog wheels -18 H / S- that can accomplish various functions:

a) Frame search function

If the player is in pause/cue mode you can search frame by frame via the jog wheel -18 H / S- in order to set a cue point for example.

b) Pitch bend function

If the player is in play mode you can carry out the pitch bend function via the jog wheels. Similar to a normal turntable you can temporarily increase or decrease the speed by turning the jog wheel clockwise and counter clockwise in order to synchronize two tracks.

NOTE!

Alternatively you can also use the pitch bend buttons -15 H / S-.

c) Scratch function -19 H / S-

Firstly push the scratch button -19 H / S- in order to enable the scratch mode. Now you can scratch via the jog wheels -18 H / S- just like a normal vinyl record.

d) Search function -20 H / S

Firstly push the search button -20 H / S- in order to enable the quick search mode. By turning the jog wheels you can fast forward and rewind within a track.

e) FX/Reverse function -21 H / S

Firstly push the FX/Reverse button -21 H / S- in order to enable this mode. There are three possibilities at your disposal.

- Reverse effect:

If "Reverse" has been selected in the drop down menu you can activate the reverse play mode by by using the FX/Reverse button -21 H / S-.

- Effect 1 function:
