7. PITCH CONTROL SLIDER

The main speed control for your music. This slide, when pushed towards the bottom of the unit

(+), increases the tempo of playback. When the slide is pushed towards the top of the unit (-), the

tempo of playback is decreased. Pitch Range is selectable in ranges of +/-5% to +25/-100% from

the ‘SYSTEM’ menu.

8. PITCH BEND BUTTONS (- / + BUTTONS)

Used to temporarily decrease or increase the playback speed. Pitch will return to the current setting

when released.

9. SYNC BUTTON

The main control of the internal

SYNC engine, allowing for one-touch beat matching of your playing

songs. During playback, pressing this button will change the speed and beat position of the selected

track to match that of the track playing on the opposing deck. This overrides the

PITCH CONTROL

SLIDER(#5). When the PITCH CONTROL SLIDER is moved again it’s operation depends on the

value of the Soft Takeover (if the

PITCH CONTROL SLIDER(#5) responds immediately to your

movement or after you have moved past the virtual pitch setting) setting in the SCS.4DJ Settings

menu. If the setting is On (Soft Takeover enabled – default value), Pitch value will not change until

the

PITCH SLIDER is moved to match the virtual value of the Pitch set by the SYNC engine.

The

AUTO LED at the midpoint of the PITCH CONTROL SLIDE indicates when the two are not

synchronized, ie: if

PITCH CONTROL SLIDE and VIRTUAL PITCH POSITION (the pitch position

chosen by the SYNC engine, regardless of PITCH CONTROL SLIDE position) are not the same.

The LCD Display also has an arrow displayed next to the TEMPO value indicating which way to

move the

PITCH CONTROL SLIDE. If the setting is OFF, (No Soft Takeover) then any movements

of the

PITCH CONTROL SLIDE will become effective immediately.

10. DSP EFFECT SELECTION/CONTROLS

Dual effect processors, one for each deck, and both can be used at the same time. This section

controls the four on board audio effects

FILTER, FLANGER, SLICE and DELAY. Using the two

EFFECT CONTROL knobs, you can individually adjust two effect parameters depending on what

effect you are in.

11. TAP BUTTON

Tap along with the music to enter manual BPM values for use with

DSP EFFECTS or SYNC

ENGINE. This is used to manually enter BPMs when the Auto BPM function is unable to lock on a

beat. You must tap at least four times to enter a new BPM value.
