7. PITCH CONTROL SLIDER
The main speed control for your music. This slide, when pushed towards the bottom of the unit
(+), increases the tempo of playback. When the slide is pushed towards the top of the unit (-), the
tempo of playback is decreased. Pitch Range is selectable in ranges of +/-5% to +25/-100% from
the ‘SYSTEM’ menu.
8. PITCH BEND BUTTONS (- / + BUTTONS)
Used to temporarily decrease or increase the playback speed. Pitch will return to the current setting
when released.
9. SYNC BUTTON
The main control of the internal SYNC engine, allowing for one-touch beat matching of your playing
songs. During playback, pressing this button will change the speed and beat position of the selected
track to match that of the track playing on the opposing deck. This overrides the PITCH CONTROL
SLIDER(#5). When the PITCH CONTROL SLIDER is moved again it’s operation depends on the
value of the Soft Takeover (if the PITCH CONTROL SLIDER(#5) responds immediately to your
movement or after you have moved past the virtual pitch setting) setting in the SCS.4DJ Settings
menu. If the setting is On (Soft Takeover enabled – default value), Pitch value will not change until
the PITCH SLIDER is moved to match the virtual value of the Pitch set by the SYNC engine.
The AUTO LED at the midpoint of the PITCH CONTROL SLIDE indicates when the two are not
synchronized, ie: if PITCH CONTROL SLIDE and VIRTUAL PITCH POSITION (the pitch position
chosen by the SYNC engine, regardless of PITCH CONTROL SLIDE position) are not the same.
The LCD Display also has an arrow displayed next to the TEMPO value indicating which way to
move the PITCH CONTROL SLIDE. If the setting is OFF, (No Soft Takeover) then any movements
of the PITCH CONTROL SLIDE will become effective immediately.
10. DSP EFFECT SELECTION/CONTROLS
Dual effect processors, one for each deck, and both can be used at the same time. This section
controls the four on board audio effects FILTER, FLANGER, SLICE and DELAY. Using the two
EFFECT CONTROL knobs, you can individually adjust two effect parameters depending on what
effect you are in.
11. TAP BUTTON
Tap along with the music to enter manual BPM values for use with DSP EFFECTS or SYNC
ENGINE. This is used to manually enter BPMs when the Auto BPM function is unable to lock on a
beat. You must tap at least four times to enter a new BPM value.
