In addition to using external controllers, VirtualDJ also provides the ability to control each deck
via a time sequenced control vinyl. There are several makes of the digital timecode vinyls on
the market. VirtualDJ support most Digital Vinyl System (DVS) signals.
To use a DVS with VirtualDJ, start by referencing the VirtualDJ Quick Guide for setup of your
soundcard within VirtualDJ. By default once you select the appropriate DVS signal that you
are using there should be minimal manipulation of VirtualDJ’s settings.
If necessary the following will help you adjust your timecode configuration. After clicking on
the Timecode Setting button in the Config on the Sound Setup tab; you will see the following
dialog.
Start playing your DVS Vinyl or CD to
see the signal level information in the
configuration display.
For a 100% quality signal, you may
need to adjust the following options:
Vinyl – Select what kind of timecode
control record you will be using. For
best performance, we recommend
Serato vinyl or VirtualDJ v5 vinyl.
Mode - Select what timecode mode
you want to use. In doubt, use "Smart
Relative", which is the default and
should be used unless you have
specific needs.
Left/Right – Use this knob if the
graphic shows an "egg" instead of a
concentric circle
Phase/Anti – Use this knob if the
graphic shows a tilted egg instead of a concentric circle
Gain – Use this knob if the graphic is too small or too big for the window. Does not change
the level of the signal being received by VirtualDJ from the DVS control vinyl or CD.
Silence – Use this knob to adjust the gray zone on the graphic, so that it doesn't touch the
green circle while in normal operation, but completely covers the green lines when you stop
the turntable.
If necessary you can select the individual deck tabs to fine tune each deck with the same
options.
