Operation Manual

VirtualDJ 5 DJC Edition
In the VirtualDJ waveform window, the start of each beat is marked with a small
square below the waveform, so:
- if the squares of both music tracks overlap, the music tracks are
synchronized,
- if the squares of both music tracks don't overlap, the music tracks are not
synchronized.
c) Pitch Bend buttons (Pitch Bend - and Pitch Bend +)
Pitch Bend –/+ functions slow down/accelerate playback of the music track
loaded on a deck, but the difference between this function and the Pitch fader is
that the Pitch Bend action is temporary: when you release the button, playback
of the music file gradually returns to its previous speed.
i) Using the Pitch Bend function
To beat match 2 music files, you generally:
- set both music files at the same BPM with the pitch fader,
- then align the beats of one track with the beats of the other track other by
slowing it down/speeding it up with the Pitch Bend buttons.
ii) Mapping the Pitch Bend function
The way to map a function such as Pitch Bend - or Pitch Bend + on one of the
buttons 1 to 6 is to click with your mouse on the arrow next to the button on the
VirtualDJ skin, which displays a list of functions, and then select the function you
want to map on this button.
