Operation Manual

VirtualDJ 5 DJC Edition
b) Sampler
i) Function
The sampler mode is a mode where you record a loop of a music track, store it
and assign it on a button, and play it back later in addition to your music file.
This recorded loop is called a sample.
Playing back a sample over a music track may add rhythm to the music, or
make it sound more interesting, or keep a stable beat while you are busy
preparing the next track.
ii) Procedure
The sampler uses 2 functions:
You record a sample of the music currently playing on the deck by pressing the
Sampler Rec button.
You play back this sample by pressing the Sampler Play button.
In VirtualDJ 5 DJC Edition, you can record only 1 sample per deck, so when you
press the Sampler Rec button, you cancel the previously recorded sample.
iii) Key mapping
In VirtualDJ 5 DJC Edition, you must assign 2 functions:
- the Sampler Rec function on one of the buttons 1 to 6 on this deck,
- the Sampler Play function on another of the buttons 1 to 6 on the same deck.
The easiest solution is to place Sampler Rec and Sampler Play on the same
line:
- If you map Button 1 as the Sampler Rec button, you should set Button 4 as
the Sampler Play button,
- If you map Button 2 as the Sampler Rec button, you should set Button 5 as
the Sampler Play button,
- If you map Button 3 as the Sampler Rec button, you should set Button 6 as
the Sampler Play button.
