Track Window and Transport Controls 23
Each deck has several pitch options. By default the pitch of a deck is
controlled by the Deck pitch slider (as shown above).
 Selecting the SYNC button (right-click/Ctrl+click, to lock it in) will cause the
Deck pitch slider to become transparent and the pitch of the deck will now be
controlled by the opposite decks pitch slider.
 By clicking on MASTER in the middle both decks (when sync is active) will be
controlled by the master tempo. (click on the Master tempo +/- buttons and
move your mouse vertically for fast-change control OR double-click on the
BPM number to enter a manual value).
Use the Pitch-lock function to change playback speed and pitch
independently. Speed is altered by any of the above, pitch is now controlled
by the Key tuning control. Click on the +000 display and drag your mouse
up/down to change pitch.
Crossfader
Auto X-fade is very useful to free your
hands during a routine X-fade, leaving
you to concentrate on more
important matters (your hair for
instance). The auto X-fade buttons
are the bent-arrow switches either
side of the X-fade slider (left shown).
Pressing the arrows will start an
automatic fade toward the selected
deck.
Note: The crossfade speed is set in the Automix settings in Global settings
(view page 52) (Setup). You can select a time between 0 to 100 seconds.
The Transformator Buttons (A&B) are the punch in buttons for Deck A and B.
There are two options: Left click sets a deck's volume straight to 100%, right
click (Ctrl + click) temporarily mutes the respective Deck, regardless of
crossfader position.
Track selection for the perfect X-fade - Advice mode ON. You will find it a lot
easier to pull of perfect X-fades on tracks with long lead in/lead-outs. Those
are the start and end portions of tracks that have a beat and not much else
going on. This means there won't be any discordant melodies or sounds
producing negative interactions. Many songs are available in ‘club mix’ or
‘dance mix’ versions for this very reason. Seek them out. Another handy tool
is the Bass crossfade option. This fades the bass along with the deck volume
