Finding the Right Part of the Track
When the track is paused (as when it is first loaded), the Touchstrip is always in Scratch mode.
This allows you to scroll though the track and find the point at which you want the track to start.
tIp:
For many genres, the first kick drum is a good point at which to start a track.
tIp:
Set a cue point at the point in the track at which you want to start your mix, so you can
return to it easily and save it for next time.
Playback
Press the
H B
button on TWITCH to start playback. Pressing again will pause the track.
Continuous Auto-play
Click the PLAYBACK MODE
button
32
in ITCH’s virtual deck area to change it from SINGLE to
CONT. In this mode, when one track finishes, the next track starts automatically. Load from a
crate to play through the tracks in that crate, or from your library to play through your library, in
order.
NOTE: play from start must be enabled in the Setup screen (Playback > On Song Load) for
Continuous mode to work correctly. See page 62 for more details.
Getting the Tracks in Time
The playback speed of the track may be varied with the PITCH control
37
. The range of the
PITCH control (when SYNC is not active) is +50/-50% relative to the track’s initial tempo. The
control has “fine” and “coarse” modes; rotating the knob while pressing it down will change the
speed much more rapidly.
Rotating the control clockwise speeds the track up; anticlockwise slows it down. This allows
you to take two tracks with different tempos and mix them together in time. The pitched BPM
and the pitch % are shown in the ITCH track information display.
The simplest way to match the tracks’ speeds is to adjust the PITCH control of one deck until
the BPM value is the same as that of the track that is already playing on the other deck. By
repeatedly playing from the temporary cue point and fine tuning the control you can get the
tracks playing at exactly the same speed.
notE:
A double-press on the PITCH knob resets the track’s tempo to its standard pitch (i.e.,
0% variation).
