Playback Manipulations
The Waveform Display allows you to manipulate the song playback in a variety of ways using your mouse. The method of control
differs depending on the control type you have selected for the Deck (Vinyl/CDJ/Hybrid).
Vinyl Mode
With this mode selected, using the mouse on the waveform will work in a similar fashion to using your hand on a
turntable .
1. Click and hold the mouse on the waveform. Playback will stop, as if you have placed your hand on a record to
stop it .
2. Continue holding the mouse button, then drag the mouse left and right. This will scrub, or “scratch,” the song.
3. Releasing the mouse button will cause the Deck to play the song back from the current location.
Hybrid Mode
With Hybrid mode active, the waveform will respond exactly like the CDJ mode while the Deck controls (Play/Pause, Cue,
etc.) behave like Vinyl Mode.
1. Click and hold on the waveform. The music will continue to play
2. While holding on the mouse button, drag the mouse left. The playback tempo will be momentarily increased,
making the waveform scroll a little faster to the left.
3. Now hold and drag the mouse to the right. Playback will remain going forward, but the tempo will be slowed
slightly, resulting in a waveform that still scrolls right to left, but at a slower rate.
4. As soon as you stop dragging, playback will return to its original tempo even if you are still holding the
mouse button .
CDJ Mode
With this mode selected, the waveform will not be “scratched” with the mouse. Instead, mouse movements will simply
nudge the music ahead or behind by a small amount .
1. Click and hold on the waveform. The music will continue to play
2. While holding on the mouse button, drag the mouse left. The playback tempo will be momentarily increased,
making the waveform scroll a little faster to the left.
3. Now hold and drag the mouse to the right. Playback will remain going forward, but the tempo will be slowed
slightly, resulting in a waveform that still scrolls right to left, but at a slower rate.
4. As soon as you stop dragging, playback will return to its original tempo even if you are still holding the
mouse button .
