Operation Manual

The Options settings control the multiple features and actions to accommodate the DJ’s style

for using the VirtualDJ application.

Smart BeatTap – When enabled and using

the beat_tap action, it will automatically

"snap" to the nearest plausible BPM and

phase. This allows for very accurate BPM by

just tapping 3 or 4 beats, the first tap will set

the phase only, snapping to the nearest beat

(you can tap only once to change the phase

or the 4:4 strong beat, for example). One tap

will not change the bpm. Subsequent taps will

not change the phase, but change the bpm to

the nearest plausible bpm value.

Cross Fader – This option allows you to

select the cross fader curve. There are four

different options including: Full, Cut, Scratch,

and Smooth. (other curves can be set

through plug-ins).

Pitch Range – Allows you to change the

pitch range of the pitch slider. Reducing the range of pitch can increase the precision with

which you are able to control the pitch (speed) of the records. Available ranges are

6,8,10,12,15,20,25,33,50, and 100% pitch control.

Allow BPM <80 – Allows adjustment to the BPM Engine’s value range. Disabled the range is

set between 80 and 240. A setting of Smart sets the range for values between 60 and 240.

AutoUpdate – Automatically checks for new versions of VirtualDJ (internet connection

required).

Charts - Authorizes VirtualDJ to send anonymous statistics about your sessions, compile

charts of the most played tracks all over the world. These statistics are available on

www.virtualdj.com/charts.html. No personal information will be collected.

MSN – When activated, this option will allow your MSN Messenger to show the music you are

playing. To take advantage of this feature, you need to make sure that the “what I am listening”

option is on in your MSN Messenger.

Security – This setting prevents you from loading a track on a deck while it is playing. If you

select “Ask”, VirtualDJ will prompt you to verify that you, indeed, want to load a track while the

deck is playing. If you select “Always”, VirtualDJ will not allow you to load a track to a deck that

is already playing. If you select “None”, the security feature will be disabled.

Tool Tip – Enable or disable the tool tip window. These tips appear when you hover the

mouse cursor over the buttons of the software.
