5.4 Waveform Screen

The waveform display is accessed by using the

HOME/WAVEFORM button to switch between the

WAVEFORM and HOME display. The WAVEFORM SCREEN shows the waveforms of the tracks

loaded in each deck. The

TOP WAVEFORM is for DECK A, the BOTTOM WAVEFORM is for

DECK B. If the track has not been analyzed, the WAVEFORM area for the song will be EMPTY.

The waveform of a track is multi-color with color associated with frequency and brightness with

amplitude to give you a quick visual reference to aid in mixing. Waveform colors are based on EQ

frequency, with orange to yellow for bass frequencies, midrange in green and high frequencies in

blue.

A red vertical line with a red triangle on top occurs for the current active

CUE POINT. An additional

center line in the middle of the waveform shows the current playback position in each track. When

the pitch of the deck is adjusted from it’s native value, the waveform will stretch or compress, to give

you a quick visual aid when referencing the amount of your speed change. This also helps you to

keep the beats of the two decks aligned.

The

SYSTEM MENU also provides the option of switching to the HOME/WAVEFORM display

automatically when a track is loaded to a deck. This can be useful if you wish to load more than one

track on your decks before switching to the

HOME/WAVEFORM screen.
