VirtualDJ 5 DJC Edition
a) Sync button
Pressing the Sync button on a deck instantly synchronizes the beat of the
music file loaded on this deck with the beat of the music file on the other
deck. Beat matching is done immediately and easily.
You can synchronize a track with another track using the Sync button as long
as the BPM difference between both tracks is within the limit of the pitch scale.
The pitch scale is the percentage displayed below the VirtualDJ Pitch fader on
the corresponding deck, and is set at 12% by default.
The pitch scale can be changed by clicking the percentage figure displayed in
VirtualDJ below the pitch fader: you can set a pitch scale of 5%, 8%, 10%, 12%,
16%, 20%, 25%, 33%, 50% or 100%.
When you synchronize one track with another using the Sync button, you
disable the action of the Pitch fader on your console, so if you want to control
the pitch of your music with the Pitch fader, you must press the Sync button
again to re-enable the Pitch fader.
b) Pitch fader (and Master Tempo)
The Pitch fader is a slider used to slow down/speed up playback of the music
file.
Moving the Pitch fader up slows down playback,
Moving the Pitch fader down speeds up playback.
i) Master Tempo
In VirtualDJ 5 DJC Edition, the button labeled Beat Lock on your DJ Console
Rmx activates the Master Tempo function: when this function is on, the pitch
fader changes the music speed without changing the music tone, so that
you can speed up music playback without making the music's tone higher
pitched, and you can slow down music playback without making the music's
tone lower pitched.
