Keylock = Master tempo
The Keylock icon represents the master tempo function in VirtualDJ 6 LE TC: when the master
tempo function is on, moving the pitch fader doesn’t change the tone of the music. This is useful
in that it lets you speed up/slow down a track while keeping the same tone, as if the musicians
were playing the track faster or slower!
Please note that in some other DJing software applications, keylock does not
correspond to master tempo.
Pitch scale
The pitch scale is the percentage of speed variation you can achieve with the pitch fader: a pitch
scale of 12% means that the pitch fader’s upper position in VirtualDJ corresponds to a 12%
slowdown of the music playback, and the pitch fader’s lower position corresponds to a 12%
acceleration of the music playback (a 100 BPM rate becomes a 88 BPM rate when moving the
fader to the top, and 112 BPM when moving the fader to the bottom).
The pitch scale can be changed by double-clicking the pitch percentage figure displayed on top of
the pitch fader in VirtualDJ.
The lower the pitch scale, the higher the precision of the pitch fader: a low pitch scale makes the
pitch fader more precise, but limits your choice to music tracks whose BPM is close enough to the
BPM of the music already loaded, to be within the pitch scale.
Moving the pitch fader on your turntable/CD player in timecode mode
When you move the pitch fader on your turntable or CD player, you can see its action in 4 ways:
• You hear the change in the music’s speed.
• The pitch fader moves in the VirtualDJ software.
• The BPM counter in VirtualDJ changes.
• The scrolling of the music waveform goes slower or faster.
