four different display modes to suit your
style of performance. The Display Mode
buttons are located in the top left of the
Main Screen. The available display modes
are:

Virtual Deck information displayed. In
Library Mode only the track information,
Virtual Deck, mode, track overview display
and meter are displayed.
TIP: Use the space bar to toggle
between Library Mode and your current
display mode.
Classic Vertical Mode: The two
Decks are displayed on the left
and right sides of the screen with vertical
waveforms in the middle.
Classic Horizontal Mode: The
two Decks are displayed on the
left and right sides of the screen with
horizontal waveforms in the middle.
Stack Mode: The Decks are
stacked on top of each other in a
horizontal fashion. Stack Mode aligns the
waveforms on top of each other, while
maximizing waveform space. The controls
for all Decks can be shown or hidden by
pressing the Show Deck Controls Button
on any deck.
You can choose between four different
library views which allow for visual
browsing using text and album art. Select
your Library View by using the buttons in
the bottom left area of the main screen.

column to the Simple List mode.

album art as a grid with the track
information text to the right.
Album Art Grid 2: Displays the
album art as a grid with the track
information text below.
NOTE: Your files must have album
art added for it to be displayed. See
“Adding Album Art” on page 27.
TIP: For all views you can adjust the
font size by using the Font Size slider in
the Library tab on the Setup screen. For
all Album Art views you can adjust the
album art size using the Album Art Size
slider in the same area.
Aux Deck
Plugin
The Aux Deck Plugin for the SL3 enables
you to DJ with three decks. The third deck
has all the same functions as the standard
two decks and is displayed when in Stack
Mode. See “Display Modes”.
To turn on the Aux Deck Plugin, go to
the Plugins tab on the Setup screen, then
choose SL3 Aux Deck and check Enable
SL3 AUX Deck plugin. To enable a
turntable or CD player to control the third
deck, connect it to the Aux Inputs on the
SL3, and connect the SL3 Aux Outputs to
a spare input on your mixer.
You can use keyboard shortcuts to
control the Aux Deck by changing the
Deck focus. Press the “~” key on your
keyboard to toggle focus between Decks
1+2 and the Aux Deck. The Decks with
focus will have a ashing white border.
When the Aux Deck has focus, the Left
Deck keyboard shortcuts apply to the Aux
Deck. TIP: The flashing deck indicator
can be turned off in Setup. See “SL3
Aux Deck” on page 35.
When using the third Deck, you must
use Stack Mode to show the third Deck
waveforms and controls. You can still use
the third Deck with the other display modes,
however it won’t be displayed.
